NEW COUNCIL GOES IN THURSDAY EVENING
Tomorrow evening the Nome City Council holds
its annual meeting for the change over in personnel,
at which time the retiring members complete their
service and new members are sworn in.
Some of these councilmen are new to the council,
some are starting on a new term of office succeeding
themselves and our mayor is starting his 8th term of
office.
All of these men are giving their time, their ef
forts without monetary compensation for the better
ment of our community.
They need the help and co-operation of residents
while they cogitate on the many problems confronting
this frontier community. Show your support by en
deavoring to attend some of the council meetings
during the next year.

[ Bartlett Calls on ...
(Continued fiom Page One)
mately 20 examples of discrim
inatory license fees.
He quoted from a Washington
law review and state bar journal
which it is “to be expected that
these provisions (imposing li
cense fees upon non-residents
approximately five times greater
than those imposed upon resi
dents) e'ver be contested before
the Supreme Court, they will be
held unconstitutional.”
Bartlett also denied that a tax
bill defeated by the Alaska Senate
in 195*7 would have been discrim
inatory. The bill would have
levied a tax on the value of
catches exceeding $20,000.
Bartlett said the bill did ’not
mention residents or non-resi
dents and would have applied
equally to all persons.
Bartlett also cited various Su
preme Court decisions restrict
ing activities of the states in their
treatment of non-residents. These
decisions, he said show that non
Alaskans would have more pro
tection with Alaska as a state
than they have now with it as
a territory inasmuch as Congress
has the power to remove these
restrictions from a territory but
cannot do so for a state.

a
len More Years
Since 1940, ten years have been
i added to life expectancy in the
United States, raising it to 70
years.
This spectacular increase —
within so short a span — results
I from the joint efforts of practicing
, physicians, public health officials,
| and pharmacists, supported by the
| work of research scientists in the
! pharmaceutical industry, govern
ment agencies,
universities, and
private laborato
ries.
Drug discoveries
of recent years
have lowered the
cost of illness,
brought the sick
•' • Uui back to health,
and kept millions out of hospitals
and early graves. Deadly menaces
such as polio, tuberculosis, pneu
monia, and many other infections
have beer, all but snuffed out as
major medical problems.
But these accomplishments are
only a forerunner of even greater
progress. When scientists conquer
the degenerative diseases, a life
span of over 100 years may be
possible in the United States, ac
cording to a spokesman of Chas.
Pfizer & Co., Inc., world’s leading •
producer of antibiotics and dis
coverer of such drugs as Terra
mycin.
In the forefront in this battle
against disease are the nation’s
physicians. They are backed by
more than 100,000 community and
hospital pharmacists.
But in the years to come, the
U.S. will need even more pharma
cists. Science and education leaders
are being urged to interest career
minded teenagers in the profes
sion of Pharmacy during National
Pharmacy Week, October 6 to 12.
The rewards are many, including
a secure financial future, commu
nity respect, and above all, the ac
complishment achieved in helping
others live longer, healthier lives.
In the years to come, that might
top 100 years.
