Alaska Boy Scouts!
To Take Part In
1953 Jamboree
First announcement of Alaska’s
participation in the 3rd National
Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of
America, to be held during July
of 1953 at the Irvine Ranch, near
Santa Ana, Calif., went out last
week to- the 80 Scout troops and
Explorer posts of the territory.
According to the preliminary
plans of the Alaska Council’s
Jamboree Committee, about 100
of Alaska’s Boy Scouts and Ex- '
plorers will be permitted to at
tend.
Two years ago, 52 Scouts and
leadei's went to the 2nd National
Jamboree, held at Valley Forge,
Penna., where they attracted na
tional attention because of the
distance traveled and because of
their unusually smart appearance
and discipline.
Scout executive Maurice Pow
ers, professional head of the Boy
Scout movement in the territory,
will be in charge of the Alaska
contingent again next summer,
and he will be assisted by a
staff of 7 to 10 voluhteer leaders,
their number depending on the
actual number of boys who go
from the territory.
It is expected . that the trip,
including an extended sightseeing
tour of 10 western states, will
take about six weeks, with the
party leaving Alaska about June
14 and returning about Aug. 1.
Cities and scenic spots to be
visited include a tentative sched
ule of Seattle, Olympia, Portland,
Salem, San Francisco, Sacramen
to, Reno, Los Angeles, Hollywood,
Tia Juana, Grand Canyon, Pueblo,
Alguquerque, Philmont Scout Res
ervation, Denver, Salt Lake City,
Yellowstone National Park, Spo
kane, Coulee Dam, Yakima, and
back to Seattle.
It is not known yet whether the
group will travel by steamship or
airplane to Seattle, but it is
thought they may proceed their
tour from Seattle by chartered
buses, thus enabling them to stop
more frequently and as wished.
Scouts and their families will
pay each boy's way, with each
Scout being required to earn a
reasonable portion of the total
VOTE REPUBLICAN!
CHAS. D. JONES
Candidate for Senator
Fellow Alaskans:
In asking for your vole
and support in the com
ing election Oct. 14, 1952, m
I submit the following
for your consideration:
I believe that from my
life in Alaska; from my
record in the Legislature |S
in voting for measures
for the best interest of gl
'all of us; from my knowl
edge of the conditions J
now confronting us and ||
from my reputation for R
honesty and fair dealing; that I have demonstrated my ability
to represent you.
I am a Republican because I believe in the Individual and
his right to what he produces, subject only to the rights of
others; a government of laws, not men; and of such taxes which
are necessary to efficiently carry on our governmental functions
—but a just and representative government.
I will serve you honestly and will, at all times, be gov
erned by the necessity for and effect of all measures introduced.
I solicit your support for the entire Republican Ticket so
as to be able to pass measures which the Republicans believe
to be for the best interests of all of us.
With abiding faith in the future of our country and that
we may all prosper with it, again solociiing your vote and
support. Very sincerely yours,
CHAS. D. JONES

AN ALASKAN REPUBLICAN

says . . .
That all employes of the federal government, appointed officials !
as well, receive an increase of 25% o.ver and above stateside sal
aries received in the same grade. Now this is all to the good, as j
it costs more to live in Alaska than it does in the states and such
2a% increase should continue. However, most of the federal em
ployes and officials in this division, buy—yes, they buy all their
food, other than some few items which come by airplane, in Seattle
or Tacoma at wholesale prices. Thus the cost of living is not 25%
higher—in fact it is much lower, for the merchandise is purchased
at wholesale prices and brought to Alaska by government-owned
and operated freight and passenger vessel. Some federal employes
are exceptions to the rule but the majority buy outside and the
merchants of Alaska who pay taxes, higher and higher under the
Democrats, are entirely without this class of business.
Alaskan voters, wouldn’t it be wonderful if your annual income
taxes could be reduced 25%? Just try to get it from the Demo- ‘
crats—They need more money to waste by the millions. Grafters
deluxe get away with it every year. Our Democrats in office, want
ing to maintain control, believe all our government employes in
Alaska should receive 40% increase, instead of the present 25%.
I Alaskan voters who want equal rights with government Tru
man-appointed and selected employes, then—
