Typically, an elementary-school teacher,
during a thirty-year career, will live with, work
with, and love more than 1,000 children. (How
many parents can claim that amount of expe
rience?) Teachers receive extensive training in
child psychology. They learn to recognize the
signals of potential delinquency . . . they learn
that reading difficulties often result from emo
tional problems . . . they learn the character
istics and needs of children at each age level.
If you are wondering about your child’s
school life, visit his school and talk to his
teacher during

The youngster in school is like the man in
business for himself. If the student is on the
job every day, works hard and makes every
minute count—he stands to realize sizeable
profits. Why? Because job opportunities are
better for persons with high school and college
educations. Do the children in your community
have rich and vital educational opportunities?
Are many leaving school before graduation?
Are a number of the gifted failing to go on to
college? To find out what is true in your town

are things to be done and we
need strong representation.”
Mrs. Bullock, who is a former
Nome resident, and now of Kot
zebue, pledges herself to work
for reduced salaries for legisla
tors to a more realistic figure.
She felt no legislator is worth a
monthly salary plus the fat per
diem which the First State Legis
lature voted themselves. Under
standing conditions of the villages,
she has worked for many years
to get local job hiring and more
high schools for northern Alaska.
“I want to see a blue sky act for
northern Alaska.”
How Shall Promises Be Paid?
She challenged the Democrats
with, “They are promising every
thing to everybody but not telling
how the promises shall be paid.”
Myrtle Johnson, local house
wife and candidate for the House
with Art Johnson, Wien pilot,
against Bob Blodgett and Charles
Fagerstrom, gave their platform
as one to help all the people of
the villages with roads, fields and
educational needs and to be their
voice in Juneau. She urged all to
vote carefully.
Too Many Democrats In Juneau
An overwhelming standing ova
tion was given Mrs. Art Johnson
when she spoke extemporaneously
for her husband who was storm
bound at Unalakleet. Having lived
several years in Unalakleet, she
felt her husband knew and un
derstood the needs of the people
of all small villages where he
flies. “The two-party system has
too many Democrats down in Ju
neau and we need more Repub
licans to keep the system in
check and your vote is your voice
in the election,” she said.
Guest speaker was Sen. John
Coghill of Nenana, an experienced
and down-to-earth speaker, whose
aggressive remarks stirred the
audience to hearty applause many
times during his talk.
Court System Dangerous
“If they didn’t pay me a penny,
I’d still be a legislator . . . Our
court system is dangerous — I
challenge it — everybody in it is
a Democrat.”
Coghill reminded the audience
that this is the 100th anniversary
of the first Replblican president
of the United States — Abraham
Lincoln—and reminded them that
the Republican philosophy was
and is decentralization of govern
ment.
Coghill challenged the need for
present government to make it
necessary for any native picking
up drift wood to have a 25 cent
permit and other annoying lic
enses in a similar small scale and
what it takes to administer such
a program.
Coghill, a native born Alaskan,
strongly criticized the BIA for
the way it breaks up homes and
ships children from the sixth
grade to Wrangell or Sitka.
He spoke eloquently on the ills
of setting up boroughs and what
the system would do taxwise for
the people of all Alaska.
He spoke with understanding
of the needs of northern Alaska
and how those representing the
scattered villages must work to
gether in Juneau.
A lively community sing fol
lowed the speeches and then a
film on Nixon who has visited
every state in the union as he
promised.
Dr. McKinley with his wife
and Rettig left on the McKinley
plane early Saturday morning to
be in Anchorage for the arrival
of Vice President Nixon.
