NOME—LOGICAL PLACE TO TRAIN ESKIMO
STUDENTS FROM OUTLYING TOWNS
The following article was prepared by Nome School Superinten
dent William Angell for the Chamber of Commerce and is being
presented to William Olson, head of the Alaska Native Service, by Mr.
Angell, who is now attending a meeting of the Alaska committee of
the White House Conference on Education in Anchorage. It gives
Eskimos should be at Nome.
specific reasons why the headquarters for higher education for
1. Nome has an accredited institution, on which to build and
expand.
2. The Eskimos, as American citizens, are entitled to Secondary
Education facilities in their own habitat, rather than transplanting
them to other unfamiliar regions.
3. Eighty percent (exact figure 77 percent) of Nome’s school
children are of Eskimo extraction.
4. PSYCHOLOGICALLY, Nome would be ideal because the
student would have far less adjustment to make. Many would find
relatives or fellow-villagers among the residents of Nome. Thus the
homesick factor would be considerably lessened. This factor alone
has been known to cause incomplete education for many children
away from home.
5. The transporting of students from village to school would be
much less expensive.
6. The program would be beneficial to the economy of the City
of Nome and indirectly, the entire Second Division.
7. The construction program would assist unemployment with
seasonal Eskimo laborers as well as white.
8. The cost of construction would be no more, and perhaps less,
here than in other sections of the Territory.
9. With the expansion. Nome School would be able to offer the
same opportunities and educational programs as any other school.
10. Nome School would be able to enrich the school curriculum.
11. An enriched curriculum would help the large Eskimo school
population that we now have.
12. More incentive for active competition among a predominance
. of their own race. It would be easier for them to develop and cultivate
initiative and leadership.

Big Four Reach
Agreement on
Austrian Treaty
VIENNA, Austria, W—The Big
Four reached agreement yester
day on an Austrian independence
treaty.
The foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain, France and
the Soviet Union will fly to Vi
enna this weekend to put their
signatures on a treaty the Austri
ans have been wanting for 10
years.
Ratifications will mean Austria
will be free and sovereign for the
first time in 17 years. Some 70,000
troops of Russia and the West will
leave.
Agreement was reached after
nine days of difficult negotiating
which it was feared early Thurs
day might break down. For the
past three days the ambassadors
of the four powers had been dead
locked on a Western demand that
the Russians put into the treaty
economic concessions granted the
Austrians during talks in Moscow,
last month.
Western informants said the
Russians finally gave way to the
Western demand, thus paving the
way for the actual signing.
Informed sources said the am
bassadors decided to make the
Soviet concessions an annex to
the treaty. The concessions in
clude return of the Zisterdorf oil
fields and the Danube Shipping
Co. to Austria.
European Communist
Nations Approve
Security Pact
WARSAW, Poland, UF> — The
Soviet Union and seven other
European Communist nations ap
proved today the draft of a secur
ity pact which is to place their
military forces under a unified
command.
The treaty draft, designed to
counter West Germany’s rearma
ment as NATO’s 15th member,
provides for mutual economic aid
and cultural exchanges as well
as mutual security of the Red
bloc.
There has been speculation that
Marshal Ivan Konev, Soviet dep
uty defense minister, will become
supreme commander.
But the Soviet spokesman said
he cannot yet disclose details of
the command decision or say
which of the eight nation’s gen
erals would get the top spot.
Soviet Premier Bulganin told
the opening session of the Warsaw
conference Wednesday the pact
will be open to any other Europ
ean nation wishing to join and
that the alliance will automati
cally dissolve itself if any all
European security system can be
devised.

Faithful Housekeeper
Is Tired of Waiting
VANCOUVER, B.C., OP*—After 17
years of inarching after the cows
instead of marching down the
aisle, 40-year-old Dorothy Pent
land says she is tired of waiting
for the farmer to say “I do.”
She is suing Benjamin Crowe,
64-year-old farmer, for breach of
promise and asking a half interest
in the farm.
She complained in court she
had been a housekeeper as well as
a milkmaid without pay and “he
stayed in bed while I went for the
cows—at 4:30 a.m. each day.”
It has, she said, been a long
wait. She said Crowe promised to
marry her in 1937.

HYSTER
Winches and Donkeys
•
?rr^| Mount a Hyster winch
V*** on your Caterpillar
tractor and you double the
tractor’s pulling power. For
logging, contracting, pipeline
and oil well service, this gives
the tractor ability to handle loads otherwise impossible. And
the winch line can reach out for loads inaccessible to the
tractor. There’s a complete line of Hyster winches to satisfy
all requirements. This includes towing winches, worm drive
winches, HySpeed winches, an oil well servicing winch as well
as the two and three drum yarder and Donkey®.
CATERPILLAR
Dozers
^ No matter how tough
the job looks or how
rough the terrain, you can handle the toughest assignment with
"Cat” Diesel Tractors equipped with cable or hydraulically
controlled bulldozers. With "Cat”-built ’dozers, the tractor,
bulldozer and control are matched to the capacity and strength
of one another. They’re designed to move bigger, active rolling
loads faster, keep jobs on schedule and hold production costs
down. Either straight or angling blades are available. Adjust
ments are easy to make.
BUCYRUS - ERIE Drills
Blast Hole—Waterwell—Prospecting
Nrrja There’s money to be saved by using
' modem Bucyi as-Erie Drills. In fact,
costs are frequently lowered from 30% to
50%. The exclusive Bucyrus-Erie shock
absorber increases speed of penetration even
in difficult formations. More snap in the
drilling action gives more shattering blows.
More blows per minute mean more footage per shift. Faster
and easier moves and set-ups give more drilling time. Larger,
faster drilled holes provide better fragmentation. And longer
rope life plus other operating and maintenance economies
reduce costs. Many sizes and types from which to choose.
