A Creed for Alaskan Homemakers
Homemakers are largely responsible for the future
of Alaska, Mrs. Chester Sandvik of Palmer said in her
prize-winning creed. Mrs. Sandvik is the aunt of Pete
Sandvik, our Territorial Department of Mines engineer.
Mrs. Sandvik received an original Rusty Dow
painting for her Alaska Homemakers’ Creed:
ALASKA HOMEMAKER S CREED
(By MRS. CHESTER SANDVIK)
I believe that as homemakers we are largely re
sponsible for the future of Alaska;
that we can serve our country better by maintain
ing good homes and good health for our families;
that through the Extension Service, its leaders,
and our homemakers’ clubs, we learn ways to utilize
our time and materials, to economize on our money, to
take advantage of our time, and to minimize our labor;
that the ultimate success of our worthy ambitions
depends upon how much we strive to increase in our
knowledge and persist in our efforts toward a better
way of life;
that to do our best, we must constantly improve
our religious worship; because it is through the power
of God by faith through prayer that we can be filled
with that kind of love which enables us to live and
work together, peaceably, no matter what color or
creed; that kind of love which unites us and strength
ens us as one body, under one God, for the good of
all who live in this beautiful country of ours.
SO THE WORLD IS GOING TO THE DOGS . . .
Things aren’t as good as they used to be, and,
what’s more, they never were. Flagship News, of Am
erican Airlines, prints three reminiscent proofs of this.
“I dare not marry, the future is so uncertain,” said
Samuel Wilberforce in 1801. “There is scarcely any
thing around us but ruin and despair,” ran William
Pitts’ verdict on the world of 1806. In 1849, Benjamin
Disraeli found comfort in reflecting, “I thank God I
shall be spared from seeing the consummation of the
ruin that is gathering around us.” The world’s journey
completely to the dogs is snail-paced.
Modesty is not generally associated with adver
tising, regardless of what is being given publicity.
GOP Spot Radio
Announcement
L/^fdled ‘Fake’
WASHINGTON, —Democrat
ic National Chairman Stephen A.
Mitchell Monday night denounced
as a “fake dramatization” a radio
campaign announcement he said
portrayed Moscow as ordering de
feat of GOP candidates.
“Malicious fakery,” Mitchell
said of the spot announcement,
saying he would demand an in
vestigation by Congress and by
the Federal Communications
Commission <FCC». He said the
recorded announcement had been
produced by the Republican Con
gressional Campaign Committee.
A spokesman said the record
ings had been sent to individual
GOP House and Senate candidates
for use in their districts if they
saw fit. There were no figures to
indicate how widely it had been
used.
Mitchell said also he was study
ing the possibility of legal action
against radio stations which car
ried the announcements, which
he called a “100 percent falsehood
passed off as an actual recording
of events.”
Mitchell's statement said the
spot opened with the simulated
sound of printing presses, and that
against that background an an
nouncer said the time was last
April and “those printing presses
are turning out the official Com
munist Party line.”
“The next voice the listening
audience hears,” the Democratic
chairman continued, “is that o'f a
man, (presumably a Soviet official
or agent i with a Russian accent.
This official says in a conspirator
ial voice: 'Defeat the Republican
candidates! That is the order from
Moscow. Return America to a
New Deal type administration.
Moscow orders that!’ ”
Then, Mitchell said, the original
announcer returns to enjoin his
listeners: “Don't take orders from
Moscow. . . . Vote Republican in
November.”
One thing the new flat-chested !
look has in common with the full-1
busted—it will probably will
leave us flat broke.
Truman Pleased With
Democratic Trend
KANSAS CITY, W) — Former
President Harry S. Truman said
today he was “very much pleased
with the Democratic trend” in
Tuesday’s general elections.
Truman viewed the results as
establishing a pattern for the
1956 presidential election.
Asked to comment on a state
ment by Rep. Walters of Pennsyl
vania that he would abolish the
House Un-American Committee,
Truman said:
“I agree. I’ve always thought
that committee was the most un
American thing in Congress.”

SAFETY BULLETIN
DEPARTMENT OF
TERRITORIAL POLICE
Territorial Police Superintend
dent A. P. “Bob” Brandt said to
day the “motorists’ misplaced
pride in his heavy foot is a con
tributor to the greatest majority
of Alaska’s fatal traffic accidents.”
The tendency of Alaska drivers
to appraise their own driving skill
solely in terms of speed plays no
small part in the annual toll,”
Brandt said.
Brandt says “enforcement or
traffic engineering cannot begin
to solve the problem of excessive
speed until the driving public is
educated to the difference in safe
and unsafe speeds.” He said any
speed can be an unsafe speed
“under certain circumstances.”
From 1839 until 1855 when the
Soo Canals were built, ships often
were moved overland around the
rapids on the St. Mary’s River
between Lake Superior and Lake
Huron.
