THERE’S NOTHING LIKE AN AMBITIOUS ROOKIE
The New Look
THE ANNUAL CLEAN-UP WEEK is usually ob
served in May at Nome, but Nome High School
got an early start Friday when the Junior Class con
tributed their own funds for paint and varnish, and
more than a hundred students spent the afternoon
giving the library and assembly rooms a new look with
freshly painted walls and newly varnished desks.
Before varnishing, the desks all were carefully sanded
and offending “carvings” were obliterated.
With the school budget taking so much of the
tax earnings in the community, and causing great
concern, it is gratifying to find the students assisting
by making their classrooms more attractive without
cost to the school.
GRASS ROOTS OPINION
From the Nanty-Glo, Pa., Journal... A surprising
note, perhaps, is Mikoyan’s request for more trade with
America. An announcement last month showed one
large sheet steel order will be filled by American
manufacturers for Russia. Other goods may also show
that Russia-is not as self-sufficing as she boasted to her
allies just a few months ago.
All these signs point to a world power that tried
to bluff Uncle Sam with hard talk, only to find that
America refuses to move when Russia snaps her
fingers.
From the Georgetown, Ky., Times — In New
York City recently, a short, shabby 75-year-old man
who had been on relief for 20 years, was accused of
using city welfare funds to play the market. Made a
good thing of it, too, building up a $21,000 portfolio of
stocks. The welfare department paid out an estimated
► $17,000 in relief to this particular client. He lived
twenty years on that sum and managed to build it up
to $21,000. Sounds like potential material for helping
to balance our $77-billion national budget!
ASIDE FROM THEIR NAMES, “Beano” and
“Bingo” are exactly alike, yet it is lawful, in the State
of Maine, to play “Beano” — unlawful to play “Bingo”!
IN WASHINGTON STATE, a new taxpayers’
association is memorializing its Legislature with
letters saying: “We don’t want more services — We
don’t want more taxes !”
Wade Returns 3
Bills To House As
‘Unconstitutional’
JUNEAU, UR — The House and
Senate, meeting in joint session
Friday, upheld acting Governor
Wade’s position regarding a bill
that would have permitted public
utility districts to make building
and zoning codes.
The Governor returned the bill
unsigned — an action tantamount
to a veto Since the measure would;
i have become law without his sig
] nautre Saturday.
Two other measures were also
returned to them unsigned by the
Governor.
One would amend the village
incorporation act; the other would
J regulate and license dogs in poli
| tical subdivisions of the state.
All three measures were ob
jected to on the basis that they
would add to the powers of poli
tical subdivisions in violation of
the State Constitution.
Wade said he did not object to
the subject matter of any dtf the
bills but that Attorney General
Gerald Williams had advised him
the measures were unconstitu
tional.
Earlier in the day, the House
argued the question of state versus
private interests. At issue -was a
bill, a provision of which involved
state purchase of an unused apart
ment facility at Valdez for a men
tal health unit.
Rep. John Hellenthal, objecting
to what he said would be excessive
profit for the present owners of
the former government housing
unit, introduced an amendment I
limiting the promoters of the Val
dez buildings to a “fair and reas
onable profit.”
How much profit the promoters
might expect from the sale brought
on more controversy.
Earl Hillstrand, chairman of the
House Finance Committee which
submitted the bill, argued his com
mittee had thoroughly discussed
the project with the Valdez people
last weekend.
Hellenthal’s amendment was
passed.
In addition to the Valdez acqui
sition, the bill would provide for
work on a proposed mental health
treatment hospital at Anchorage
and appropriate money for im
provements and equipment at the
Valdez facility.

G.O.P. Congressman Says
To Change Party’s Name
Unless Principles are Kept
WASHINGTON, (tf) — The Re
publican Committee on Program
and Progress was advised last
week to change the name of the
Republican Party if it discards
GOP dogmas.
The advice was given to the
committee by an old-guard con
gressman, Rep. Ben F. Jensen of
Iowa, in response to a request for
his observations on how to perk
up the party.
. “If the basic dogmas on which
the Republican Party was built
are discarded,” Jensen said, “it
would no longer be the Republican
Party, and it ought to get a new
name.”
