HIS HOUR OF DECISION
Let’s Not Lose Our Through
Air Service To The States
The announcement that Pan American World Air
ways is seeking to terminate their service to Nome is
an unexpected disaster and set-back to the entire
Northwestern Alaska.
We badly need the only one-carrier through ser
vice to the States which this community and the sur
rounding areas have depended on since 1932.
Being cut off completely from water transporta
tion and having no road connections with other parts
of Alaska or the states means the entire economic
development depends on air transportation.
It is important the year around for proper handl
ing of perishable merchandise; it is important during
the short mining season to get machinery parts when
emergency demands; and it is also important that we
have the fastest possible service at all times.
With the completion of the improved airport
runways next summer, Nome passengers and shippers
have been looking forward to the resumption of the
faster DC-6 service.
CAA reported recently that during the summer of
1957 Nome Field recorded more traffic in take-offs and
landings than any other field of its size in Alaska,
so the business is available for the asking.
Until such time as another carrier can give com
plete one-carrier service between the states and Nome,
we urge that Pan American continue serving Nome
and we urge individuals and businessmen who want
this service to petition the CAB calling attention to
our needs.
Because of their dependable service, their safety
record, courtesy and efficiency through the years they
have operated in Nome, and their record of hiring
Alaskans wherever possible, Pan American will always
have a special loyalty from the people of Nome.
Success Usually Begins With Saving.
And Saving Begins With a Plan at the

Letter
To The Editor
Thank you for the editorial, “A
Practical Cum Laude.” If ever
there was a time when we need
clear thinking, it is now as we
debate the status of education.
No doubt some changes are called
for, but let us keep faith with our
posterity, and not give way to
hysterical bleating over our lack
i of scientists.
It is certain that scientists are
needed, but other types of edu
cation are also vital even for the
training of a good scientist. All
kinds of academic careers are
. needed. Therefore, let us also
I mention our lack of agricultural
ists, home economists, social ser
vice workers, teachers, clergy
men, physicians, and others.
Every one of these fields must
have new trainees, for the good
of our society.
Nor should we overlook the
contribution of vocational educa
tion. For many students the “pra
tical courses” are truly the most
realistic.
Let us keep our heads and re
member that scientific knowledge
is problem - solving equipment,
but is not necessarily iriformed
! regarding the broad issues of poli
tics, public life, and human re
lationships. The humanities have
a place beside the sciences, and
lend insight to those entrusted
! with our public affairs, which we
j neglect only at great peril.

Washington’s Gov. Rosellini
Calls For Statehood and Better
Trade Relations With Alaska
SEATTLE, UP) — Statehood for
Alaska was supported by Wash
ington’s Gov. Rosellini yesterday
as he called for better trade re
lations between the two com
monwealths.
“We in Washington State are
keenly aware of the economic
stature that Alaska can reach
when it shakes off the fetters of
territorial status that have denied
it a mature growth, and have
prevented the full development of
its untapped metals, oils and tim
ber,” Gov. Rosellini said in a
speech prepared for delivery at a
breakfast honoring himself and
Alaska’s Gov. Stepovich.
“The time is overdue for us in
Washington State to renew the
bonds of friendship and to estab
lish trade relationships on a new
footing of economic equality.”
Rosellini said it was perhaps
premature to welcome Alaska
into statehood today, but said if
Congress feels as he does, the
territory should achieve state
hood within a few months.
“It would be entirely appro
priate for Alaska to celebrate
one of its first birthdays here
in 1961,” Rosellini said as he in
vited Alaska to participate in the
i Washington State World Pair
! planned for Seattle in 1961 and
I 1962.
He offered the facilities of
Washington state agencies to help
make Alaska’s exhibit in the
world fair a “permanent monu
ment to the friendship between
our areas.”
