Greenland School Officials
Praise Alaska Schools
JUNEAU, (if) — The American
philosophy that everyone should
have the opportunity to attend at
least high school was praised by
two Greenland officials at the
conclusion of a month-long tour
of Alaska.
The two are Claus Bornemann,
acting deputy governor of the
Danish possession, and Mads
Lidegaard principal of Green
land’s only teachers college, lo
cated at Godthaab.
Bornemann said he was most
impressed with the vigor of edu
cation in Eskimo areas of Alaska
and in the qualified teaching per
sonnel assigned to Eskimo vil
lages.
Bornemann and Lidegaard,
whose tour was sponsored by the
U.S. State Department, said they
wanted to observe how Alaskan
Eskimos have adapted themselves
to modern society.
Specifically, they were inter
ested in the education of Alaskan
Eskimos. Of Greenland’s 33,000
residents, about 30,000 are Eski
mos.
Lidegaard said one thing that
impressed him was the way in
which the state of Alaska and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs encou
raged the Eskimos and Indians of
the state to participate in their
own betterment.
The two officials visited Nome
on their tour a week ago.

YOUR Civil
Air Patrol
At the time of the deactivation
of the 71st Rescue Squadron,
Elmendorf AFB, Anchorage, the
last Air Force rescue squadron in
Alaska, Col. James Carter, Al
aska Wing Commander, accepted
the transfer of 10 L-20 Beaver
airplanes from the Air Force, and
at the same time accepted respon
sibility for a greater portion of
rescue services formerly provided
by the 71st R.S.
In Alaska where so much de
pends upon air rescue, Civil Air
Patrol members are not special
ists in any one type of air res
cue operation, but are specialists
in just about any kind from lo
cating a missing boat to assisting
in the rescue of stranded moun
tain climbers and helping release
a plane stuck on a sand bar.
Alice Hudson, public relations
| officer for the Nome CAP Squad
ron, calls attention to some of the
rescues in which CAP has par
ticipated since the L-20s were
turned over to them. In April a
woman with a heart attack flown
to Anchorage hospital; saving a
new mother and infant by flying
them from a remote military site
to hospital in Anchorage. Again
in May, three more isolated em
ergency hospital trips in Anchor
j age and a search for seal hunters
by the Nome squadron; the Sew
ard Squadron searched for a
shrimp boat and also rescued a
72-year-old man with a back in
jury from Kenai to Seward.
At Kaltag the CAP helped a
man get his small plane off a
sand bar in early June and at
Nome and Unalakleet helped with
the search for the lost Weather
i Bureau plane.
| Miss Hudson stated that the
CAP has to be ready to help day
I or night and more people should
| realize the importance of the
I Nome Squadron and offer to
assist.
In a community where every
one flys one never knows who
will need to be rescued next.
Sixty-five years ago this Nov
ember, a young German peered
j at something no one had seen
! before — the bones of his own
hand. The man was Wilhelm
I Roentgen, the discoverer of x
rays.
