STILL A FEW FRONTIERS LEFT
To the Class of 1957
We congratulate these students who have prepared
for twelve years to be graduates of Nome High School.
During these years they have grown and developed
through childhood, adolescence to mature young men
and women.
The great principles upon which American was
founded are just as important today as they were when
the first Americans went to school in the little red
schoolhouse. Personal honesty, a deep religious faith,
and a desire to respect the rights of others create the
happiness and security for which everyone strives.
Nome is fortunate in having a fine high school
with a staff of teachers who are sincere in their efforts
to give the students these necessary tools with which
to meet the world which is now theirs. Most of them
have been inspired to go ahead for higher learning.
Some of them will become outstanding people in their
trades or professions.
We depend upon the students of today to raise the
standards for the people of Alaska and become the
leaders in the great state soon to be a reality. This is
a great responsibility.

Have Your Check
Ready For The
Cancer Society
Have that check ready for the
American Cancer Society this
week as volunteer workers make
their drive through the commun
ity for this worthy cause.
The American Cancer Society
reported that a few years ago
they were saving one out of four
patients. Now they report that
one out of three ere saved. The
odds could get better if people
would call their doctors in time.
Part of the money collected
goes into educating the public to
the fact that cancer found in its
early stages can be cured. Most
people wait too long.
Instead of worrying and won
dering if you might have cancer,
see your doctor today. You’ll
probably walk out from your
check-up feeling that it is a won
derful day and you have nothing
to worry about, but your worries
are over.
Volunteers this year, headed by
Verna vcn der Heydt, are Audry
Eayer, Dorothy Young Peggy
Kelliher, Ella Tanner, Jessie Bar
! ber, Eleanor Osborn, Doris Wilke,
| Adeline Ullrich, Ruth McLean,
s and Opal Baldwin.
I If you prefer, your check may
' oe mailed to the American Can
j cer Society, Box .156, Nome.

Alaska Governor
I WASHINGTON, UP—1The Sen
ate Insular Affairs Committee
| Tuesday unanimously approved
j President Eisenhower’s appoint
i ment of Michael A. (Mike) Stepo
i'vich of Fairbanks to be governor
I of Alaska.
The appointment now goes to
the Senate for expected confirm
ation.
Stepovich was introduced to
J the committee by Sen. Kuchel
j (R-Calif) and questioned only by
j Sens. Jackson (D-Wash) and Neu
i berger <D-Ore>.
Kuchel said he was “quite im
pressed with his (Stepovich’s)
youthful zeal to do something for
j the territory.”
In response to questions, Stepo
vich said he favored statehood
for Alaska and believed Alaska
was qualified to administer its
fisheries under statehood.
He told the ^committee he was
“not an expert” on the adminis-1
tration’s statehood proposal re
serving to the President the au
thority to create military reser
vations north and west of the
Yukon, Porcupine and Kusko
kwim rivers. He agreed, however,
to submit a statement of his
views of the proposal before re
turning home later this week.

Canadian Educator Voices Need
For Cooperation With U. S. In
Solving of Mutual Problems
FAIRBANKS, iff)—A Canadian
educator expressed “concern”
Monday for the future of Canada
if that nation and the United
States do not continue to strive
for more cooperation and under
standing of mutual problems.
Dr. Norman A. MacKenzie,
president of the University of
British Columbia, gave the main
address at the 35th annual com
mencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Alaska at College.
He received an honorary doc
torate of laws degree from the in
stitution.
Speaking as a “Canadian” he
said there are many problems the
two nations must work out to
gether.
He cited the boundary settle
ment giving Alaska its “pan
handle” bordering on British
Columbia.
"Quite frankly, as a Can
adian, I regret the existence of
the panhandle. It is a serious
obstacle to the efficient devel
opment of northern British
Columbia and the Yukon," he
said.
He said that British Columbia
is denied access to the sea thru
the panhandle. Similar mutual
problems exist, MacKenzie said,
in the fields of international fish
eries, water power and mineral
development.
MacKenzie voiced the hope in
telligent men and women in both
countries can, as they have in
the past, work out arrangements
“making possible the sensible and

profitable use of all the resources
available to us.”
But a larger problem has arisen
out of the peaceful and profitable
relationship between Canada and
the U. S., he continued. “As a
Caradian, because of the bigness,
the wealth and power of the
United States, I do have some
concern for our future. Not thru
:tiy explicit policy directed at
taking us over, but because of
the very intimacy of our relations
and the rather casual acceptance
of us and of our feelings and de
sires.”
“I feel,” he said, “it is most
fortunate that we have the United
States as our neighbor. But Can
ada should remain a separate and
completely independent nation
and people.”
He criticized congressional
committees when they “exceed
what we believe to be their legiti
mate areas of jurisdiction and at
tempt to sit in judgement upon
the character and behavior of
Canadians, and more particularly
of Canadians in official posi
tions.
He said Canadians are worried
by the gradual “Americanization”
of Canada by American influ
ences in culture and by growing
American dominance in industry.
Furthermore, he added, Can
adians must work to solve these
difficulties, both cultural and na
tional by themselves. Americans
can relieve some of these prob
lems by realizing what they are,
he said.
