Gruening Proposal
Provides J5-Year
Road Program
WASHINGTON, UPl — Grants
up to 300 million dollars over a
15-year period to provide Alaska
road construction funds compar
able to those received by other
states were proposed Wednesday
by Sen. Ernest Gruening.
The proposal represents “a mat
ter of simple equity and justice
for one of the nation’s newest
states,” Gruening said in a
speech in connection with intro
duction of this bill to authorize
the grants.
“The bill gives to the State of
Alaska nothing the other states
have not already received,”
Gruening said in proposing the
grants which ,would start July
1, 1961.
Gruening said there was prece
dent for the action in similar
grants made to the Territory of
Hawaii in 1931 when it was given
full participation in the federal
aid road program.
Gruening said his proposal
would amount to some 191 mil- j
lion dollars less than the federal
government would have paid the i
Territory of Alaska had it been !
treated on the same basis as the
other states and territories.
Referring to the 15-year pro
gram he proposes, Gruening said
that “Under the International Co
operation Administration program
we have done much more in a
shorter period of time for foreign
nations.”
During the fiscal years 1955
1959, Gruening said, “ICA has
spent $217,542,773 aiding the high
ways systems of foreign nations.”

Tiny Writing Discovered
The Archeological team of the
University of Pennsylvania has
just made a very interesting dis
covery. It is a small Sumerian
tablet, 3,500 years old. Even
though it is only the size of a
quarter, yet there are 145 cunie
form signs on its, made in 33 lines.
In order to read it, an expert of
the University was able to magni
fy it 56 times. He stated that for
a person of the present day to
match this feat of writing, he
would have to be able to inscribe
the complete Lord’s Prayer on the
head of a common pin.
Just a few chapters beyond the
Lord’s Prayer, we read the Sa
vior’s words . . . “But the very
hairs of your head are all num
bered.” (Matt. 10:30'. Yes, we have
a wonderful God “Whose eye
seeth every precious thing.” (Job
28:10). How wonderful it is to
see beyond the microscope to the
very One who sees everything:
Our Creator and Saviour.

Falcon ‘Lowest
Priced In U.S.’
WASHINGTON — Suggested
retail label prices of $2,225 and
$2,287 for the new Falcon station
wagon were announced last week
by James O. Wright, Ford Motor
Company vice president and Ford
Division general manager.
These prices, Mr. Wright said,
make the Falcon:
The lowest priced six-passenger
compact station wagon offered in
the U. S.;
The lowest priced four-door
station wagon produced in the
U. S.
The Ford executive said that
when the new station wagons go
on sale in March, Ford dealers
will be offering customers the
widest selection of station wagons
in the industry. Ford, which tra
ditionally led the station wagon
field, has built a million of the
models in the last four years —
and nearly two million since it
started mass-producing station
wagons in 1929.
In addition to offering the low
est price, Mr. Wright said the
Falcon station wagon:
Has the longest cargo space in
thfe field — three inches longer
than the current top selling com
pact station wagon;
Provides 10 to 50 per cent bet
ter fuel economy than any other
domestically built station wagon,
including its price class compe
titors;
Has the greatest floor load area
in its class.
