What Is The School Band Festival...
OVER A THOUSAND CHILDREN from the schools
of the northern half of Alaska will meet on April
24th and 25th at Anchorage for an intensive musical
get-together, which has been such an inspiring event
in past years that it continues to grow not only in
Alaska but in the other States as well. In some States
more than 10,OOCf music students are gathered for these
festivals.
In Southeastern Alaska, the School Band Festival
has been held for over 15 years, with increasing parti
cipation and interest. Part of the money to finance
the band’s transportation is carried by the school, and
the balance is raised by the people of the community
interested in giving their youth this opportunity for
musical growth and development.
Nome has never had the opportunity to send its
band to such a meet. This year we are fortunate in
having a band leader who has had experience in Fes
tival work, and who, in a few short months, has de-.
veloped a band well qualified to enter into competition
with bands from Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the small
er schools of the northern part of the State.
The Nome School Band has been registered with
the Anchorage School System so that housing may be
arranged for our students. The students are housed
in homes of other band students and follow a set pat
tern of house rules for conduct. The two chaperones,
Mr. Bixby for the boys, and a woman chosen to chaper
one the girls, are available for the students or the
housemothers, if needed.
The trip is not a lark, but an intensive pferiod of
music, which starts with rehearsals scheduled from
7:30 each morning and continuing through the day,
with performances by groups on Friday evening, and
massed bands on Saturday evening. A parade of bands
is scheduled for Saturday morning.
The Nome School Band Festival Committee has
several projects scheduled to raise money for the fares,
which money will be turned over to the school.
The response from the public has been over
whelmingly in favor of financing the Band project.
It is hoped that all parents will give permission for
their band students to participate.
The band, which is already working on Festival
music scores, will help the fund substantially with a
concert early in April.
Iowa Democrat
Remove Son
From Payroll
WASHINGTON, UFi — Repre
sentative Steven Carter (D-Iowa)
said yesterday he is considering
reducing the $11,873 annual sal
ary of his student-son and might
even remove the 19-year-old from
his office payroll.
The son, Steven Carter, a fresh
man pre-law student at George
Washington University here, went
on his father’s Congressional pay
roll last Januray 3. His father de
fended the employment on the
ground he needed his son’s
services.
From the Bethesda Naval Hos
pital, where he is undergoing
! treatment for a recurrence of
cancer, the 43-year-old Congress
man said his son “has worked and
has earned every cent he has been
getting. He conceded that “while
sitting next to the spectre of
death, he might have erred in
giving the son the top-paying job
in the office for part-time work.
He said he would like to keep
his son on his staff because of a ]
need for his services.
Carter said physicians believe
they can control the spread of the
cancer which first struck him in
1957. He said he is optimistic
about his chances for a normal
life span.
The D e s Moines Register
quoted Carter as saying he had
made a mistake in judgment .in
the matter of the youth.

i Wade Promises Speedup In
i Fisheries Control Plans
JUNEAU, — A speed-up of
I legislation to give Alaska control
I of its fishery resources has been
] promised by acting Governor
| Hugh Wade.
1 In letters to both the Senate
j and House, Wade said yesterday
j much valuable time has already
! been lost because the Interior De
partment has delayed making
known its policy on the trans
fer of control of Alaska’s fish and
wildlife resources to the new
state.
In an effort to prevent any fur
ther delays, Wade added, his ad
ministration will soon introduce
bills to set up an acceptable de
partment of fish and game, and to
define its functions and authority
as to commercial fisheries and
sports fish and game.
