Signing Ceremony
(Continued from Page One)
rying an aura of quiet dignity, he
stepped down from his podium
and signed his name. He was visi
bly nervous.
Then alphabetically, the names
were affixed. Each delegate seat
ed himself in front of the docu
ment and, with his own pen,
signed his name in one of four
rows following this statement:
“Agreed upon by the delegates
in Constitution Convention as
sembled at the University of Al
aska, this Fifth day of February,
in the Year of our Lord One
Thousand Nine Hundred and Fif
ty-six, and of the independence of
the United States the one hun
drd and eightieth.”
The calling of the names and
music from the university chimes
were the only sounds audible
throughout the signing ceremony.
When the last delegate—Ada B.
Wien of Fairbanks—had signed,
Egan was asked by a delegate to
step down from his seat as presi
dent to address the convention.
Egan outlined the history' of
Alaska in its striving for self
government.
The words “We will never have
true peace of mind until we are a !
state” brought loud applause.
The ceremony lasted about one
and a half hours. It was noted j
that tears were on the faces of
more than half the delegates as1
the song “Alaska Flag” was ren- I
dered by the choral group.

I Awarded Alimony
From Writer Wife
SANTA MONICA, Calif., UPt—
The estranged husband of a movie
column writer got temporary ali
mony along with a prop for his
dignity in superior court here.
He is Wojciechowicz Stanley
Wojkiewicz, 39, whose wife, 51
year-old columnist Shcilah Gra
ham, sued him for divorce last
Jan. 23.
Miss Graham’s attorney, Rex
Eagan, told Judge Stanley Mosk
he' couldn’t pronounce her hus
band’s name and asked permis
sion to use a nickname. The court
held this wasn’t very dignified
and refused permission.
Wojkiewicz listed his expenses
as $450 a month and estimated the
columnist’s income at $10,000 a
month. He said she is worth $350,
000 and has two* homes, one in
Beverly Hills and one at Trancas
Beach, worth $100,000.
Byt Miss Graham, who de
scribed her husband as an athletic
talent scout for UNLA, insisted
her net income as only $650 a
month, whereas her expenses run
$11,000 a year. This, she said, left
nothing for the support of her
husband.
Wojkiewicz said he was penni
less. He wanted $450 a month
from Sheilah, pending trial of the
divorce action.
“After a three-year marriage
you don’t expect your wife to sup
port you indefinitely, do you?”
Judge Mosk asked him.
“No, your honor, I’m sure I can
find some employment within six
months,” said Wojkiewicz.
Judge Mosk awarded the hus
band $250 a month for three
months, $2,000 for attorney’s fees
and permission to reside in the
beach house for 90 days.

Park Service Asks
$786 Million for
10-Year Program
WASHINGTON UR—The Nation
al Park Service disclosed last
week it wants Congress to pro
vide $36 million for work in the
first year of “Mission 66”—a 10
year expansion program for Am
erica’s park system.
The aim of the program is a
system staffed and equipped to
handle 80 million visitors annual
ly by 1966, the golden anniversary
of the service. President Eisen
hower endorsed the program in a
message to Congress last week.
The service says the parks had
50 million visitors last year but,
as now developed, are designed
for a maximum of about 25 mil
lion tourists.
The 10-year program would
cost nearly $125 million, in addi
tion to the regular annual Park
Service budgets. This would mean
a total park expenditure of about
$786Vfe million over the 10 years.
The projects disclosed Friday
would be built in the 12 months
starting July 1. Included is a $12Vfe
million outlay for buildings and
utilities, $12Vfe million for roads
and trails, and $11 million for
parkways.

Sore Throat Salved
Scholarly A. E. Housman once wrote that his poetry "sprang chiefly
f oai physical causes, such as a relaxed sore throat.” Few of us could
1 .1 Housman s literary style, but a waning sore throat often evokes'
in us at least a poetic sierh of ♦-——-———
relief.
Your sore throat may show up
as one of the mo... annoying symp
toms of the common cold. It can
e so be a separate infection caused
by a variety of bacteria. A partic
ularly vicious type of infection-is
t’-.e commonly-termed “strep”
throat caused by streptococcus
germs.
Although the common cold so
far remains intractable, science
fortunately has developed some
effective remedies against throat
infections. Doctors use antibiotics
routinely in treating the “strep”
throat. Drug stores now sell anti
biotics in the form of candy-like
lozenges. These orange - flavored
Candettes attack invading mi
crobes and ease throat pain. Saline
gargles are helpful in washing out
by-products of throat infection.
Because respiratory infections
are spread by coughing and sneez
ing, many attempts have been
niade to keep germs from floating
in the air. Ultraviolet light and
medicated vapor sprays have been
used.
Still, respiratory diseases, in
cluding sore throat and the com
mon cold, cost the U.S. a stagger
ing two billion dollars annually.
Other estimates place the toll as
high as five billion. A recent study
of illness among employees of a
major petroleum company re
vealed that respiratory ailments
account for over half of the ab
sences.
Although sore throat may her
ald only a common cold, medical
specialists warn that it may also
tip off the onset of a more serious
disease. If symptoms hang on or
keep coming back, you should con
sult your doctor.
