McKinley Drops
Ballot Suit
ANCHORAGE, (iPI — A spokes
man for Dr. Lee McKinley, Re
publican U. S. Senate candidate,
yesterday said McKinley’s suit
seeking changes in the General
Election ballot has been drop
ped.
Tex Ziegler, the McKinley
aide, said the court action was
abandoned both because there is
insufficient time before the elec
tion to gain relief and also be
cause Secretary of State Hugh J.
Wade has instructed election of
ficials to instruct each voter on
the matter of straight ticket vot
ing.
McKinley had challenged the
ballot, claiming Wade had not
put instructions on it explaining
that a mark in the straight party
circle overrides votes for indiv
iduals of the other party.
He also complained there were
no instructions telling voters that
they could vote for candidates of
both parties. In the primary elec
tion, voters could cast ballots in
only one party column.
McKinley also criticized Wade
for putting circles on the ballot
instead of squares, as specified in
the State Election Code.
Ziegler said Wade promised to
have election officials instruct
voters on the ballot and also to
have a warning posted explain
ing the circle and straight voting.
He said Wade promised this in an
exhibit added to his affidavit sub
mited in the earlier court action.

Ruby Incorporates As
Fourth Class City
(From League of Alaskan
Cities News-Letter)
The recent fourth class city in
corporation of Ruby has sparked
interest in the neighboring vil
lages of McGrath and Aniak, al
though Holy Cross turned down
the proposal in a September elec
tion. Likewise, the recent appli
cation of the community of Don
nelly for fourth class city status—
believed necessary because of a
new housing development for a
new military installation — has
brought new flame to the smoul
dering ambitions of Delta Junc
tion for similar status.
Rumored magistrate leanings
toward a joint venture at the
third class level stumbled over Ft.
Greeley which effectively sepa
rates the two hopefuls by seven
miles. On the other hand, the vil
lage law says that no fourth class
city can be located within 10
miles of an existing city or school
district.

School Open
House Part of
Education Week
On the evening of Nov. 9, dur
ing American Education Week,
at 7:30, the second annual Open
House of the Nome Public Schools
will be observed. The public, and
the parents of children in school,
are cordially invited to visit, and
every effort is being made at
school to insure an interesting
and enjoyable occasion.
As most residents of Nome
realize, local educational facili
ties are undergoing a great deal
of change: the student body is en
larging at an incredible pace,
many classes are operating on a
shift basis, a new Junior High di
vision has been created, and the
staff has been increased by sev
eral members, including a read
ing coordinator. The Open House
will be an opportunity for inter
ested persons to observe and eval
uate this changing picture.
From 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., class
rooms and library will be open
and exhibits will be on display.
Teachers and administrators will
welcome any questions or discus
sion visitors may have in mind.
At 8:30 coffee will be served by
the Home Economics department
in the multipurpose room, where
a short program and a social time
will be in order.
Actual classroom situations
with students present, are sched
uled by the following teachers:
Miss Stark, 1st grade, art.
Mrs. Croell, 1st grade, manu
script writing and language.
Mrs. Kokes, 3rd grade, science.
Miss Cooper, 3rd grade, reading.
Mr. Zentner, 4th grade, arith
metic.
Mr. Dinkel, 5th grade, social
studies.
Miss Bierwagon, Junior High,
English.
Mr. Kokes, Junior High, social
studies.
Mr. Hahn, Junior High, physi
cal education.
Miss Small, Senior High, typing.
Mr. Mohr, Senior High, science.
Mrs. Emmons, Senior High, bi
ology.
Mr. Gavin, Senior High, French.
Guests will be assisted by Stu
dent Council members in obtain
ing programs, signing the guest
register, and finding directions.
The staff requests that children
who are not participating in the
evening’s demonstrations remain
at home, since an in-school atmo
sphere will be desired for all
visitors’ benefit.
There are over 700 children in
the Nome School System. It would
be an encouraging sign indeed,
for the future of the community
if attendance at the Open House
should average one person present
for each child enrolled. Do see
that your child is represented by
both parents, if possible, and en
courage a friend to visit also.
NOTE OF THANKS
We wish to thank the friends
who helped us in our lime of sor
row for their Ihoughfulness and
kindnesses.
