“An Educated People
Moves Freedom Forward”
American Education Week
This> is American Education Week, a week set
aside for adults to have a special opportunity to see
how our modem education system works.
Our classrooms will welcome not only parents but
any adults in the community during their Thurday
classes. Teachers will demonstrate their methods of
passing on knowledge to their pupils. Building facilities
will also be shown to those interested.
This is the thirty-seventh annual observance of
American Education Week throughout the United
States. The general theme this year is “An Educated
People Moves Freedom Forward.”
This is a good time for those taxpayers who wonder
why so much money is going into the school system to
get an inside story on what goes on in school.
Adult classes usually held Tuesday and Thursday
evenings will have their open house this evening from
seven to nine o’clock.
Gov. Mike Stepovich urges all citizens to acquaint
themselves with school problems and encourage their
neighbors to do the same.
Navy Will Rescue
Antarctic Personnel
From Financial Squeeze
WASHINGTON, (jR—The Navy
said today it is drafting legisla
tion to rescue Navy men on ant
arctic duty from a financial
squeeze.
Rep. Saylor (R-Pa) disclosed
the fiscal tangle today when he
visited the McMurdo Sound base
in antarctica.
Navy personnel assigned to
duty at antarctic installations re
ceived travel orders entitling
■them to extra per diem payments
ranging in some cases to more
than $5 a day.
However, the comptroller gen
eral subsequently ruled such or
ders could not apply for as long a
period as the time the men were
to spend in the antarctic.
Men who had exercised their
privilege of drawing the pay in
advance—and had spent it—
would be squeezed by refund de
mands.
Indian Leader Descendent
Starts Basie Training
DALLAS, Ufi—The great-grand
son of Quanah Parker, who once
led the Comanehes across the
prairies, was in the U.S. Army to
day, assigned to a finance school.
Benny Tahamahkera, 22, says
he wants a settled life and is go
ing to let the Army teach him
business and finance.
Benny’s parents live in Fort
Worth. His father is a postal clerk.
Benny left for Ft. Carson, Colo.,
yesterday to start basic training.
Of TV westerns he says, “TV
should let the Indians win once
in a while.” : -
In Comnussioner’s Court
_ Albert Martin, charged with
assault with intent to commit
rape, waived preliminary hearing
and was bound over to the Grand
Jury. He was released on $2,000
bond.
Sale Delayed of
Territory General
Obligation Bonds
JUNEAU—The sale of the ter
ritory’s first general obligation
bonds, to finance construction at
the University of Alaska, has been
delayed, Treasurer Hugh J. Wade
said Friday.
Wade, who returned last week
from Seattle and a conference
with the firm (Grande & Co.) act
ing as the territory’s financial ad
visor, said he had asked Gov.
Stepovich to call a meeting of the
Finance Committee to discuss the
proposed bond issue.
The bonding program was ap
proved by the 1957 Legislature to
raise $1,827,000 for construction
of a dormitory and other buildings
at the university.
Wade said financial interests
which have been contacted for
sale of the issue raised questions
over the priority on payment on
the bonds.
“We are advised,” Wade said,
“that issues of this type generally
require authority stating they rep
resent a first lien on the general
funds of the government backing
the bonds.”
The territorial law authorizing
the bond issue says only that re
payment of the bonds shall come
from funds not otherwise appro
priated.
“The question may be academ
ic,” Wade said, “if negotiations
with the Federal Housing and
Home Finance Agency are succes
ful.”
‘Storm Over Nile’
Star Built His
Career Carefully
No rocketing comet to blaze a
brief moment in the movie firma
ment and vanish without a trace,
Anthony Steel achieved stardom
slowly, even laboriously. That he
built his stardom to last is evident
in his solid performing in Colum
bia Pictures’ “Storm Over the
Nile,” the spectacular adventure
drama showing tonight and to
morrow at the Nomeraraa in color
by Technicolor and CinemaScope.
Laurence Harvey and James
Robertson Justice also are starred
in the production in which lovely
Mary Ure makes her screen .bow.
Steel played small parts in a
number of films until his big
chance came. He was cast as one
of the three escapees in “The
Wooden Horse.” The public and
critics alike heaped praise on
him, and since then he has stead
ily risen to an established position
among top ranking British film
stars.
In “Storm Over the Nile” Steel
plays a young man who enters
the Army against his will, reluc
tantly upholding family tradition.
Fearing he will never make a
good officer and will endanger the
lives of his men, he resigns his
commission when his regiment is
ordered into overseas action.
How he returns the four white
feathers sent him by brother offi
cers and his own fiancee makes
“Storm Over the Nile” an unusual
and exciting adventure.
