Remember The Veterans Today
VETERANS DAY — To remember the men and
women who died to keep America free.
It is our duty to make it clear to all men of all
nations that no possible gain can come from aggressive
action.
We are maintaining a superior strength regard
less of what those who envy our freedoms say. Amer
ica is ready to use its strength whenever the rights
of freedom are imperiled and equally ready to turn
that strength to useful peacetime productivity when
the time comes that men will fight no more.
We fly our flags today to honor those who died
as well as all those who serve in the military forces
around the world today.
Japanese Fabrics From Alaska Pulp
AN UNUSUAL, COLORFUL EXHIBIT on making
Japanese fabrics from Alaska pulp is now on dis
play at the University of Alaska. Several Japanese
firms which have contributed to the exhibit, such as
the Teikeku Rayon Co.; Daiwa Sping Co.; Toho Rayon
Co., etc.
This exhibit is one that Alaskans should consider
not only for its beauty but as the type of enterprise
that should be studied for development in Alaska.
If dt is worthwhile for Japan to ship our raw ma
terial across the ocean to produce fabrics, surely the
manufacture of such material could be developed in
Alaska.

Republicans Break
Demo Majority In
Slate Legislature
By WARD SIMS
JUNEAU, UP>—“Alaska is defin
itely back in the two-party sys
tem.”
It was an elated Robert Grose
close, state Republican chairman,
speaking Thursday as returns
from Tuesday’s general election
trickled in.
Republicans weren’t expected
to make more than a token show
ing, but apparently they neglected
to read the predictions.
They cut deeply in the Demo
crats’ majority in the legislature,
gave Rep. Ralph Rivers a scare in
his bid for re-election and shoved
Vice President Richard Nixon
into a neck and neck battle with
Sen. John Kennedy for Alaska's
three electoral votes.
Why the strong showing for the
GOP?
“We conducted a much stronger
campaign this year. We never con
ceded Alaska. We always had con
fidence the Nixon - Lodge team
would carry Alaska,” Grosclose
said.
Groseclose said he felt Nixon’s
late-hour visit to Anchorage last
Sunday paid dividends for the
GOP. He placed a high price tag
on an intensive GOP campaign to
win the independent vote.
“The Vice President’s visit to
Alaska is reflected in the vote,”
Groseclose said.
“Also reflected is the import
ance of Alaska in the country’s
defense outlook. It is shown by
the strong Republican vote along
the northwest coast, next to Rus
sia."
Democrats were generally in
agreement that Nixon’s Anchor
age visit undoubtedly swung a
number of independent voters
into the Republican column.
Several top state officials de
scribed Nixon’s speech as one of
the best the Vice President made
during the arduous campaign for
the presidency.
Several reasons for the Repub
lican surge were offered by Dem
ocrats:
1. Nixon s Ancnorage visit ana
the statewide radio and television
coverage his speech received.
2. The pre - election fight over
the ballot, particulary the admin
istration's use of a circle to desig
nate party voting when the new
Election Code called for the use
of a square, and Republican Lee
McKinley’s fight to upset the state
decision.
3. The apparent refusal of
Democrats engaged in legislative
battles to refute “questionable
charges” made by Republican
candidates about Democratic ac
tions during the first state legis
lature.
4. The intense campaign the
Republicans waged to get the in
dependent vote to go for Nixon
and the other GOP candidates.
5. The large majority the Dem
ocrats had in the last legislature
itself, 18-2 in the Senate and 34-6
in the House.
“When you have that kind of
majority I think it would be folly
to assume you can hang onto it,”
one top state official, a Demo
crat, said.
Gov. Egan added:
“Nixon's zero-hour appearance
and the great enthusiasm the Re
publicans showed in Anchorage
on the eve of the election pro
bably had some effect. Unques
tionably, he reached a large audi
ence.”
But the GOP’s strength caught
most Democrats unawares, like
the one who was telling a com
panion in a capitol corridor this
morning that the results were
sure a surprise. Retorted the lis
tener:
“Shock would be a much better
description.”

A new policy in the High School
and Junior High will start in the
5th week of this 6-week period
when grade warnings will be sent
home to parents of children with
failing grades—or children mak
ing grade which they are capable
of improving. It is hoped by this
method that some of the students
will pitch in and improve their
status before the end of the per
iod.
A questionaire is being given to
High and Junior High students
concerning the time schedules for
next year. The early morning
classes have met with much suc
cess and may be continued if the
students desire next year.

It was announced yesterday
that the School Band would not
be training for the High School
Festival this year. There are only
about 25 in the senior band and
the administration feels that they
are not up to the standard re
quired for this expensive parti
cipation. By next year many of
the group will be sufficiently ad
vanced to warrant making the
trip, it is hoped.

WASHINGTON, D.C., — Tho
armless and legless, a courageous
Peruvian soldier left Walter Reed
Hospital “with a wave and a tear
and a heart-felt word of thanks.”
Private Cesaro Acosta Alvarez
had lost all his limbs in a grenade
accident four years ago, but Am
erican doctors have supplied him
with the newest in artificial limbs.
This 24-year-old lad, who was a
carpenter before his accident, has
found that already he can nail
boards again. He declared this is
nothing short of a miracle.
Yes, it is a mircle that God
has given men the knowledge to
accomplish such things. “God
hath concluded them all in unbe
lief, that He might have mercy
upon all. O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and the
knowledge of God! How un
searchable are His judgements,
and His ways past finding out.
—Romans 11:32, 33.

Are there weak links in your child’s high
school program? Does it offer courses in biol
ogy, physics, algebra, trigonometry, foreign
languages, chemistry, music, art, language
arts, home arts, social studies, and vocational
subjects? Does it have well-equipped labora
tories and shops? Does it use the newest audio

serve the many talents and abilities of all the
children in your community. Make a tour of at
