YES - YES - YES
It takes “yes” on three separate ballots to make
Alaska a State.
If the voter puts “no” on any of the three ballots
he is actually voting against Statehood, for if any of
the three propositions fails to pass, statehood will not
be for Alaskans.
Some propaganda is being given to the public tc
temper their .vote by voting yes on two of the propo
sitions but voting no for immediate statehood. If you
are fooled by this and hesitate while Alaska is on the
threshold of full citizenship you will be throwing away
that which the Congress of the United States has al
ready voted upon favorably.
The world has acclaimed the Congress of the United
States for giving the people of Alaska full citizenship
and should the voters fail, through fear and misunder
standing, to vote favoring Statehood, it might be a long
time before they have the opportunity again.
So, we urge the voters of northwestern Alaska tc*
face the future with the same courage as the pioneers
had, the same courage as the primative Eskimo people
had, and accept full citizenship in the land of the free
by marking your ballots - yes - yes - yes !

Coal Fever
At Cordova
CORDOVA, UP)—This town of

ilar to the gold fever and copper
fever of early - day Alaska —

delegation of Japanese and Am

the area’s coal reserves.
At a public reception for the
group, K. Ohta of the Fuji Iron

requirements for coal in Japan

River coal have been very en
couraging.
No definite statements as to
plans were made by any mem

visited the Bering River area,
shuttling the 50 miles by plane

scale mining operation could be
underway by 1960.
Former Gov. Frank Heintzle
ma and Territorial Mine Inspec
tor Wiley Robertson were with
the group.

pigeons flying away with them.
