NEXT YEAR will be the 50th Anniversary for the
Lavinia Wallace Young Community Center
in Nome.
Alii these years, this Methodist project has served
the community in many ways. It started as a place
where Eskimo people who could not speak English,
could learn through interpreters the solutions to their
problems, which were many. It became an orphan
age when many children were left without families,
following the influenza epidemic. It is the only insti
tution in the community that has separate classes for
the aged — both recreational and educational. It
encourages the development of old Eskimo arts and
crafts. It is the only place where preschool children
are given training and preparation for entering the
public school. The work here alone in helping remove
the language barrier shows up very plainly when
children from the Center’s classes enter school each
fall. It has classes in sewing, manual work for boys,
training in food preparation for adults. Its classes are
open to anyone and everyone.
The Community Center, directed by Esther
McCoy for years, with Eskimo and white men' and
women as her assistants, goes quietly about its work,
accomplishing a great deal more than the average
person realizes — giving to the community, without
asking more in> return than willing workers to assist
in its project.
Many burned-out families will attest that before
the smoke has rolled away and the embers cooled on
homes that have burned, the LWY is there with fresh
bedding and clothes for the family.
Many families each year are able to send their
children off to school properly dressed because LWY
has helped with used clothing. Hundreds of babies
have had complete layettes, which their families could
not have afforded, through the contributions of LWY
Community Center.
The sick and the dispirited are visited and en
couraged and uplifted by Esther McCoy, who covers
the town from the Sand Spit to the East End, during
even the coldest winter months.
The community is indeed fortunate in having the
Lavinia Wallace Young Community Center, and a
director who is so wholeheartedly interested in the
welfare of its people.
White House Says
Government Helps
Destitute Areas
WASHINGTON, UP)—The White
House said yesterday the federal
government has provided “very
material assistance” in helping to
feed destitute families throughout
the country.
The statement — and a detailed
report on one of the states — was
prompted by a question put to
President Eisenhower at his news
conference Wednesday.
May Craig, representing the
Portland, Maine, Press Herald,
told Eisenhower: “For more
years than you have been in the
White House, the pitiful children
of the West Virginia unemployed
coal miners have ben starving
for proper food. We do give them
whatever surpluses we have.
While you and Congress talk about
helping the needy in foreign coun
tries, isn’t there something you
could do for needy Americans in
this rich America of our ows?”
The President replied that he
thought the government had been
providing aid for such needy per
sons. He promised to check up
and report on the matter.
In a statement yesterday, the j
White House said “There has been '
a great lack of information and I
understanding” regarding federal
assistance to destitute families, not
only in West Virginia but through
out the nation.
Dealing specifically with West
Virginia, the White House state
ment said in part that:
School Hoi Lunches
1. The federal government in
the 12 months ending June 30
will have contributed $1,437,000
in cash for local food purchases in
Vest Virginia under he national
schcol lunch program. The state
ment said 176,000 West Virginia
children paricipate in this pro
gram. It added that under the spe
cial milk program for children the
state also is receiving $421,000 in
federal funds this fiscal year.
2. Children who are unable to
pay the full cost of a meal undei
the school lunch program receive
their lunch free or at reduced
cost. More than 25,000 West Vir
ginia children receive free meals.
NOME POLITICS —
1912 VARIETY . . .
Politics in Nome were a little
different in 1912, than they are
now, according to a copy of The
Nugget for October 12, 1912,
which was given to us recently.
There weren’t any Republicans
running on either the Senate or
House ticket.
Candidates were either Demo
crats, Socialist, Independents,
Progressives or Non-Partisan.

Egan Asks Herter Action
To Avoid Further Conflict
With Russian Crab Fishers
JUNEAU, MPi — An incident in
which a small American crab fish
ing fleet was outmaneuvered by
Russian crab fishing boats in the
Bering Sea has been brought to
the attention of the State Depart
ment by Governor Egan.
The Governor outlined the event
in a letter addressed to Christian
Herter, asking the Secretary of
State to initiate action “in an
effort to avoid future episodes of
this nature.”
In the letter, Egan told Secre
tary Herter the king crab fleets of
both Russia and Japan use the
tangle net gear “which, in the in
terests of conservation, has been
denied U. S. fishermen in coastal
waters for many years.”
The Governor said conflicts
over gear use between Americans
and the Japanese have not oc
curred, and said “It would seem
that the Russian government
would perhaps be amenable to dis
cussing this question, to obviate
future incidents and to reach an
accord as to fishing methods.”
Admiral Sends Sub-Killer
Down Ways With Warning
Against Soviet Tyranny
GROTON, Conn., (#1 — Tullibee,
Uncle Sam’s first nuclear-powered
hunter-killer submarine, was
launched yesterday moments after
the commander of the Atlantic
anti-submarine fleet accused the
Soviet Union of trying to “enslave
the world.”
Vice Admiral Edmund B. Tay
lor. who is responsible for keeping
track of enemy submarines, la
beled the Soviet Union a tyranny.
He declared, without disclosing
figures, that the Soviet submarine
fleet “is four times the size of
our own submarine force today.”
The 273-foot-long, 2,600-ton Tul
libee, packed with sonar tracking
ears, represents the latest devel
opment in the Navy’s antisub
marine warfare weapons program.
The skipper is Lt. Cmdr. Richard
E. Jortberg, who heads a crew of
six officers and 50 men.

Jay Rabinowitz
Named 4tli District
Court Judge
JUNEAU, i/P — Jay Andrew
i Rabinowitz, a 33-year-old State
j Assistant District Attorney, was
j appointed yesterday to the Alaska
Superior Court at Fairbanks.
Rabinowitz, a resident of Alaska
for just over three years, was
named to the eight-judge court by
Governor Egan. The new judge
succeeds Harry O. Arend, elevated
recently to the three-member
State Supreme Court.
The new judge, who will take
over his duties on the bench at a
date still to be determined, will
be the youngest member of the
state’s top judiciary.
The appointment of Rabinowitz,
a 1952 graduate of Harvard Law
School, was made from among two
nominations submitted to the
Governor by the Alaska Judicial
Council.
The Governor did not name the
other nominee handed him by the
council. Unofficial reports, how
ever, identified the second non>
inee as House Speaker Warren
Taylor of Fairbanks, who report
edly advised the Governor he
would decline appointment.
Rabinowitz has been with the
State Department of Law, as chief
of the Civil Division, since last
September. He joined the Attor
ney General’s staff after service
as Assistant U. S. Attorney at
Fairbanks and after private legal
work in Fairbanks.
Rabinowitz will serve an initial
term in the $19,000-a-year judicial
post extending to the 1964 general
election, when he will stand for
approval or rejection on a non
partisan ballot. If confirmed for
another term, Rabinowitz will
serve an additional six-year period
on the bench. ,
Rabinowitz is a Democrat. His
appointment, made under Consti
tutional provisions in which poli
tics is not a factor, left the Su
preme and Superior Court posts
completely filled by Democrats.
The only Republican appointed to
a state judicial post was Walter
Hodge, who served as a member of
the State Supreme Court before
his resignation to become U. S.
District Judge in Alaska with
headquarters at Anchorage.
Senate Investigators Hear
Drug Profits Testimony
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON, GB — The man
ufacturer of a new antidiabetic
drug taken by mouth testified
yesterday the profit on a month’s
supply of the medicine was 15
cents in 1959.
John McKeen, president of
Charles Pfizer & Co., of Brook
lyn, told Senate investigators this
figured out to about a half cent
of profit per tablet, and he con
sidered it modest. He said $5.50
was the average monthly cost to
a patient.
McKeen’s testimony was pre
sented at the second day of hear
ings by the Senate Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee on Pric
ing and other practices by manu
facturers of oral anti-diabetic
drugs. It is part of the subcom
mittee’s wide-scale investigation
to determine whether big pharma
ceutical houses engage in monopo
listic practices and over charge
the public for medicines
