Council Adopts Ordinance
Prohibiting Tractors
On Paved Streets
The City Council lacked a quor
um for its regular meeting Mon
day evening, but a special meet
ing was held Tuesday noon and
some of the more important busi
ness was transacted.
The resignation of Councilman
Roscoe Wilke was accepted, due
to the fact that since councilman
ai-r» now salaried, he could not
’.'.old the position while employed
by FA A.
An ordinance was adopted pro
hibiting the use of paved roads
to tractors. The ordinance ap
p 'rs in full text elsewhere in
this issue.
A contract with the Bureau of
F blic Roads was approved,
which provides for snow removal
on the paved areas of the street
system. •
The city will provide a crossing
for tractors and heavy equipment
over the paved street at Second
Avenue and Bering Street.
Just Watch the Fish!
The fishing in Solomon River is
excellent and Carl Mickelson can
vouch for that. Last Sunday he
caught white fish, trout, char and
—a wrist watch.
Carl says he found the watch
hanging on a willow on the river
bank and that the owner is wel
come to claim it. It is at the Nug
get.
Sen. Ernest Gruening has gone
to bat for the residents of Nome
and Kotzebue and their need for
dental care within their own
areas.
He states in a letter to Gov.
Wm. Egan that he has obtained
permission from the U. S. Public
Health Service for doctors and
dentists to give medical care to
all concerned contingent upon the
“State moving to correct its medi
cal and dental licensing laws to
permit these procedures and upon
the approval of the state health
authority, the Medical Associa
tion and the Dental Association.”
His letter'to the governor con
tinues: “To sum up the situation
as it now exists, everything that
was needed to be done in Wash
ington has been done. The matter
is now entirely up to the state
officials and Alaska’s doctors and
dentists.
“I have battled for many years
to secure fair treatment for our
native people. I sponsored the
anti-discrimination act which was
finally passed in 1945. Subse
quently the legislature passed the
F.E.P. Act but we are in danger
of getting and indeed already
have, a reverse discrimination
against the whites.
“We should have absolute
equality regardless of race. There
are historical reasons for what
has happened. But now that Alas
ka is a state we should insist on
equality and fair -play for all. It
is highly inconsistent to have the
political equality which is mani
fested by the presence of natives
in the legislature, which is most
desirable as an evidence of - our
democracy, but at the same time
have the persistence of the above
mentioned social and economic
inequalities sanctioned by law.”
Thursday Is
Citizenship Day
Gov. William Egan has desig
nated Sept. 17^ as Citizenship Day
and the week of Sept. 17-23 as
Constitution Week.
The proclamation, in line with
action by the Congress and Presi
dent Eisenhower, commemorates
the signing of the Constitution of
the United States on Sept. 17,
1787, and pays tribute to citizens
who have come of age or have
been naturalized during the past
year.
In calling upon all residents of
Alaska to display the Flag of the
United States on Citizenship Day,
Gov. Egan noted that! “the indi
vidual freedom which we in Al
aska enjoy as full-fledged citizens
of the Union, and the growth of
that Nation, as evidenced by the
proclaiming this year of Alaska
as the 49th State, have their be
gining and perpetuation in the
Constitution of the United States.”
