IN FOR QUITE A HAZING
Our Greatest Need ...
JF YOU WERE ASKED “what is the greatest single
need in the world today”—what would you say?
Peace? Security? Happiness? These receive top pri
ority in the minds of many but are they our greatest
need?
There are people who do not think so. They be
lieve the greatest need is an understanding of indi
vidual freedom and what makes it possible. They be
lieve that the main purpose of any society or govern
ment is to guard the sacred rights of the individual.
Millions of people believe these rights are being lost
in the United States. The more articulate, through
speeches, advertising, radio and every other means of
communication are striving to impart their under
standing of the freedom that makes life worth living .
Typical of the efforts of these people is an ad
vertisement that appeared in a late issue of the maga
zine, U. S. & World Report, over the name of a lead
ing machinery' manufacturer, Warner & Swasey. It
addresses a message to everyone: “The all-powerful
Welfare State does your thinking and worrying for
you; there is no room in it for ambition—the ambition
to make a name for yourself, to do better than your
father and your neighbor, to build your family’s pros
perous future. Ambition and laws that encourage it
are what drive men ahead; they are what made this
country great, created millions of jobs, gave Ameri
ca the world's highest standard of living, built schools
and hospitals, created the wealth we have given in
billions to the free world.
“Restrict rewards, destroy ambition—and you des
troy those rich fruits; you destroy America.”
Ferry Bond Proposal
Not Ready for Issuance
JUNEAU UP) — The chairman
of the House Rules Committee
said yesterday that the contro
versial $23 million ferry bond
proposal will be kept in his com
mittee until the general appro
priation bill is ready for presenta
tion to the Legislature.
At that time, said Rep. William
M. Erwin, who makes up the
lower chamber’s daily working
calendar, all of the general obli
gation bonding proposals before
the Legislature will be brought

“All the bonding issues will be

Gold EnGmsiasn*
Hides High Amid
Prospectors Assn.
TORONTO (A" — Gold enthusi
asm, lamed somewhat by official
American determination to hold
the metal’s price at its present
level, continues to ride high at
the current convention of the
Prospectors and Developers Assn.
The traditionally gold-minded
prospectors still feel that last
fall's soaring gold price in Lon
don was more than a flash in the
pan. And they still apparently
believe that some day a price
increase will be agreed upon in
ternationally, to give gold stores
sufficient value to back world
currencies.
In the face of statements by
the American administration, and
the return to normal of London
prices, speakers so far haven’t
been able to offer much to fan the j
enthusiasm.
But, supporting the convention’s
theme, “100 years of gold mining
in Canada,” they applaud gold’s
contributions to the Canadian
economy and express faith in its
enduring value.
V. C. Wansbrough, vice-presi
dent and managing director of the
Canadian Metal Mining Assn., in
an address yesterday said that
over the 100 years, $5 billion
worth of gold has been produced
in Canada, and that the industry
has paid out nearly $900 million
in dividends.
After reviewing the pros and
cons of the gold-price argument,
Wansbrough concluded:
ORDINANCE NO. 407
AN ORDINANCE of the Ciiy of
Nome. Alaska, to amend Sec
tion 16-5, of the Code of Or
dinances of Nome, Alaska, re
garding snow removal and
assessments, and setting an ef
fective date.
Be it ordained and enacted by the
Common Council of the City of
Nome, Alaska, as follows:
Section 16-5. Snow removal and
assessments.
(a) No person having the care,
either as owner or occupant of
any premises bordered by a

tween "B" Street and Steadman
Avenue shall fail to remove any
snow which may have fallen
thereon, within a reasonable
time thereafter.
(b) In the event that a person
mentioned in the preceding
paragraph shall fail to keep the
sidewalks in front of his res
pective premises reasonably
clear of snow, the City may
cause the snow to be removed
from such sidewalk and assess
the cost thereof against such
premises at the rate of fifty
cents (50c) per front foot. Such
assessment shall be a para

against which it is assessed and
may be collected and enforced
and be subject to the same pen
alties and interest after delin
quency as in the case of gen
eral taxes.
(c) A person whose snow has
been so removed shall be mail
ed, by registered mail, a notice
in writing by the City Clerk,
stating the time of removal and
the cost of removal. Said notice
shall state that if the owner
does not appear and in writing
object to said charge, the same
shall be immediately assessed
against his property by motion
properly carried at the next en
suing Council meeting. The lien
shall attach from the date of
passage of said motion and the
same shall thereupon be en
tered on the assessment rolls of
the city. No such motion shall
be made within ten days of the
mailing of said notice.
This Section shall become ef
fective immediately upon its pas
sage by the Common Council and
the approval of the Mayor.
Passed by the Common Coun
cil of the City of Nome, Alaska,
at regular session assembled on
the 27th day of February, 1961.

i For Tonpass Forest
Timber Award
WASHINGTON UP> — The 1
Georgia Pacific Co. has until July
1 io qualify for a final award of
timber in the Tongass National
Forest of Alaska, the Forest
Service said.
Under terms of the preliminary
award of 7.5 billion board feet
of lumber, the company must sub
mit plans for the mill by July 1
or forfeit its Vight to the contract,
the service said.
The final award would obligate j
the firm to build a pulp mill in j
Alaska by July 1964.
In its annual report, the com
pany mentioned the matter and
said “market possibilities cast 1
doubt on the economic feasibility !
of our making this commitment.” I
The Forest Service spokesman |
said the next step is up to the |
company. The preliminary award
was made in August, 1955.
Dr. Lee McKinley, dentist,
serving this area will return
March 21. If
“Interest in gold is greater than
we have known it for years. The
core of the gold-mining industry
in Canada is still sound and solid.
Gold is excellent security and its
solid virtues shine more brightly !
in times of stress and strain.
“There is no substitute for gold
and we in Canada are fortunate
to be the second largest gold pro
ducer in the free world.”
George O. Argali, Jr., editor of
the Mining World, San Francisco, 1
urged that both Canada and the 1
United States mine ore gold and j
silver.
More gold production, he stated,
is needed to maintain the dollar |
as the paramount world currency, |
and to keep it from being sup- j
planted by the “new heavy Rus- i
sian ruble.”
JFK S l i i S Opposed
To Federal Aid for
Private Schools
WASHINGTON UP> — President
Kennedy still is opposed to grant
ing federal aid to parochial and
private schools. Sen. Mike Mans
field of Montana said yesterday.
Mansfield, the Senate Demo
cratic leader, reported Kennedy’s
position to newsmen after the
President’s regular weekly meet
ing with Democratic congression
al chiefs.
At a news conference last week
Kennedy said federal aid to paro
chial and private schools would
be clearly unconstitutional. He
added that on the basis of a
Supreme Court decision, the mat
ter is not even open for debate.
Some members of the Roman
Catholic Church hierarchy have
taken sharp issue with the Presi
dent. Calling for a new provision
in the Kennedy school aid plan
for a program of loans, they con
tend that such aid to private
schools can be granted within the
framework of the Constitution.
Over the weekend, Rep. John
W. McCormack of Massachusetts,
the House Democratic Floor Lead
er, asserted anew that he believes
it would be entirely constitution
al to grant long-term, low-interest
federal loans to parochial and pri
vate schools for construction, re
novation and repair of school fa
cilities.
Kennedy, McCormack and
Mansfield are all Catholics.
