derdale, Fla.

Petition Circulates to Call
For New Election Code
FAIRBANKS — This last week,
100 Alaskan voters filed an appli
cation with the Secretary of State
'to sponsor the circulation of a ref
erendum petition to submit the
Alaska Election Code to a vote of
the people of Alaska in the No
vember 8 general election. This ap
plication has now been approved.
The sponsors of this petition say
they feel that the Alaska Elec
tion Code that was passed by our
last State Legislature was not a
good law for Alaska. It has al
ready “legislated” a political par
ty (the Alaska Party) off the state
ballot, say the sponsors. As a re
sult of the restrictive measures
of this law there are no indepen
dents in this comipg election any
where in the State. The law con
tains provisions for voting a
straight party ticket and the semi
closed primary. Both of these have
met with much disfavor in Alaska,
continue sponsors.
To submit the Election Code to
the voters of the state for approv
al or rejection the sponsors must
secure over 1,000 signatures to
their petition, and these must come
from at least 16 of the 24 election
districts. It must be filed by June
27. The sponsors invite anyone in
terested in helping, to contact
Lawrence Brayton, Box 1087,
Fairbanks.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE NUGGET
A Ketchikan resident for 13
years,'Mrs. Porter had never seen
Anchorage until arriving here Fri
day for the competition. Her trip
here for the contest was made pos
sible through organizations and
business firms in her community.
Mrs. Porter credits her 19-year
old son Chip with her entry in
the contest. Having no picture to
include with her application form,
she had some taken but the film
was lost. Her son finally produced
the picture which was sent in
with her qualification record.
Mrs. Porter gave one of her
reasons for wanting to become
Mrs. America as her interest in
tourism “as it affects the economy
of our new state. As Mrs. Amer
ica, I would also be representing
and publicizing Alaska to thous
ands who are unfamiliar with this
great land,” she wrote in her ad
ditional application.
Mrs. Porter takes an active part
in the life of her community. She
is a member of the PEO Sister
I hood, the Soroptimist Club, the
| Chamber of Commerce Tourist
Committee, the Young Republican
Club, the PTA and the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Association.
Her husband was the first presi
dent of the Ketchikan Junior
Chamber of Commerce, one of the
organizations which made her trip
to Anchorage possible.
In addition to an all-expense
paid two-week trip to Fort Lauder
dale for her and her husband,
Mrs. Porter will receive an RCA
Whirlpool gas refrigerator, Culli
gan automatic water softener,
225 square feet of Johns-Man
ville floor tile, a year’s supply of
Tony beauty products, and a com
plete set of Crarte home acces
sories.
