Power At Her Fingertip
With a push of a button, pretty Diane French starts the newest
development in boating—the electric-starting motor just introduced
by Evinrude. The new feature is expected to do for boating what
the self starter did for the automobile.
A sharp increase in the number of women boating fans is ex
pected to make this one of the biggest advances in boating since
Ole Evinrude invented the outboard motor in 1908. Diane wears a
bathing suit so she can take a swim, too. More women running boats
should be popular with the men, too’
Hearings To Discuss
Army Plans For 48,000
Acres On Turnagain Arm
ANCHORAGE, UP — A new
round of land withdrawal hear
ings will be held March 1 at the
Anchorage YMCA to discuss
Army plans to use 48,000 acres on
Turnagain Arm for an anti-air
craft firing range, it was announ
ced Saturday by Lowell Puckett,
regional administrator of the Bu
reau of Land Management.
The hearings were set after E.
A. Jarvi and others who claim to
represent more than 250 pro
perty owners filed protests to use
of the land south of Anchorage.
At the present time, 85,000 acres
in the Susitna Flat has been with
drawn for the Army’s big gun
anti-aircraft range. It was with
drawn 18 months ago following
hearings at which the Army’s
choice of Susitna Flats was pro
tested by the Chamber of Com
merce.
Maj. Gen. William M. Miley,
representing the Army, then pro
mised to look for an alternate lo
cation and the application for
Turnagain land followed.
Under the Army’s proposal, the
guns would be placed on the
north side of Turnagain Arm.
The impact area for the shell
fra ments would be either Kenai
Moose Reserve or Chugach Na
tional Forest to the south and
west.
Barbados in the West Indies is
about an eighth the size of Rhode
Island but has 210,000 inhabitants
making it one of the most densely
populated areas in the world.
Communication
January 20, 1954
Mr. John P. Boyd
; District Director, Immigration
and Naturalization Service
Seattle, Washington.
: Dear Mr. Boyd:
!
I was rather astounded to read
in the Alaska papers an Associa
ted Press dispatch sent out from
Seattle in the forepart of Novem
ber quoting you as saying that
Alaskans now believe the McCar
ran Act in its application to the
Territory is beneficial. You must j
have been talking to different
| Alaskans than I. Not yet have I !
found a single Alaskan who was I
other than indignant that a classi- |
fication of his American citizen- |
I ship is required before he can j
, enter the States from Alaska. j
It is noted you were quoted as ;
j having said the act kept out of
; Alaska a good many “agitators i
and trouble-makers.” By whose j
! definition are they to be desig- |
nated as such? I did not know
: that the standards set up under
1 The McCarran Act were such as
! to allow the Immigration Service
i or any other government agency
| to establish a special category of
! “agitators and trouble-makers.”
I rather believe, Mr. Boyd, that
: if a plebecite were held in Alaska
! on the question of the McCarran
Act about 99.9 percent of Alas
kans would desire to amend it to
exclude the Territory from its
provisions.
Sincerely yours,
E. L. Bartlett

Methodist Crusade
Of Evangelism’In
Alaska, Feb. 10-24
Twenty Methodist ministers and
laymen from all parts of the
United States under the leader
ship of the Rev. P. Gordon Gould,
superintendent of Methodist work
in Alaska, will be in the territory
Feb. 10-24 to conduct an evangel
istic crusade.
Aim of the crusade of visitation
evangelism is to double the mem
bership of the Methodist Church
in Alaska. The outstanding preach
ers and lay leaders gather in Seat
tle Feb. 10 for a day of orientation
and briefing. From there they pro
ceed to their assignments to com
munities in Alaska to meet with
the local pastor and his organiza
tion for the week of visitation
evangelism, calling on residents
of those communities and asking
them to join the church.
At the end of the week, local
pastors and their guests will go
to Anchorage, where they will
make reports on the progress of
the campaign. A similar program
was held in 1952 and greatly in
creased Methodist membership in
Alaska. The Board of Evangelism
i and the Board of Missions are
jointly sponsoring the project.
Methodism’s northernmost out
post, Nome, will have as guests
the Rev. Bradley Havens, Dun
more, Pa., and the Rev. Don A.
Morris, Saginaw, Mich.
