NEWCASTLE - UPON - TYNE,
England, (£> — The Newcastle
Methodist Conference Saturday
approved a recommendation that
homosexuality between consent
ing adults should no longer be a
criminal offense in Britain.
The recommendation came from
the Department of Christian Cit
izenship. The Rev. E. Rogers
said in moving the resolution:
“It is not the proper function
of law to interfere with private
conduct unless that conduct is
clearly detrimental to the public
good in an extraordinary degree.”
Both prostitution and homosex
I uality are symptoms of a twisted
approach to sex and the remedy
is not in the hands of the law.”

Confidence In The Northwest Course of Empire
All over America there seems to be rejoicing that
Alaskans will soon have full fledged citizenship.
Alaskans who no longer live here have written or
wired or expressed themselves in their home town
papers.
* From a Birmingham, Alabama, publication comes a
clipping headed “Two Alaskabamians Hail the New
State” and features Julia Brown Ryan, formerly of
Nome, and little Guy Hubbs, who was born in Anchor
age.
From California comes a wire from a former ACS
boy bom in Nome with the one word, “Congratula
tions.”
Former Alaskan Yvonne Mozee sent a four-page
section of the New York Times—about statehood.
The July 14 issue of Time features Bill Snedden, a
fairly new Alaskan, who made statehood his cause
when he purchased the Fairbanks News-Miner in 1944.
Congratultions comes from the Call Bulletin of
San Francisco with a full page of what they think of
the future state.
Newsweek printed a big story this week bout the
future state.
We could write a book with hundreds of messages
received by local people from friends all over the
world as well as a flood of letters from people who
want to be part of the new state and are ready to pack
up and homestead in the new land.
Everyone has confidence in our future. Its up
to us to choose leaders who can look far enough ahead
as the northwest course of the North American em
pire finds its center in the hidden wealth of the State
of Alaska.
As one Alaskan wrote: “All is well. I feel as
good as a new U.S. citizen.”
