Alaskan ports and also to carry
American freight into Alaska
fiom foreign ports was introduc
ed into the Senate in Washing
ton last week by Senator Bute,
ch i man of the Public Lands
Committee, the Associated Press
reported
In introducing the legislation,
Se'aii r Butler said that his re
cent visit to Alaska revealed
that one of the great obstacles
to the development of the Ter
ritory was ‘inadequate trans
portation Unfortunately Alaska
doesn't hav • adequate steam
ship service The principal rea
son is the effect of our various
acts which restrict all steam' r
traffic to ships under American
r gistry ”
Butler said h;s proposal would
authorize transportation of pas
sengers between Alaskan ports
on Canadian vessels.

tinger and Councilman Tuck

ice committee, met with the

In making the leoommend
ation the Board urged that par
ents of the community be made
aware of the necessity of proper
rest and home-study time foi
their children. If the patents will
co operate, it was pointed out
there will be no need for a new
curfew with its resultant enfor
cement compl cations.
No change was made in the
Center’s \ resent policy of send
ing all grade school children
uome at 9 p.m on school nights
Director Ken Wade offered to
co operate with the school de
partment in the handling of in
dividual cases where high school
students are having scholastic
difficulties.

1948 financial campaign, report
ed tli t the drive had reached
$8962, 105 per cent of the goal,
tie express* d appreciation for
the work of his committee and
at did tl a the goal could net
j have been reached if the center
| did not have the support of a
laige part of the population He|
also voiced the hope that some
sort of community chest organ-j
ization to handle all financial
campaigns in a co ordinated
drive be set up in Kodiak
Use of the center was granted
to the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment for their New Year’s Eve
dnnen
Plans for the development of

ation made ecently by the not
ary Club Playground Committee

ilities, can be completed in the

$250 Award
For Student
Details of its award of $250
to a high school graduating
student in the spring were an
nounced by the VFW Katmai
Post 7056 following its member
ship rally on Tuesday evening
The award, with no strings
attached as to its expenditure,
will go to a student selected for
all-round qualifications of schol
arship, character, sportsmanship
and integrity. A committee from
the VFW will meet with a school
board committee to select the
winner
At Tuesday’s meeting, R D.
Russell was named chairman of
the membership committee for
the coming drive. Elv>n Foster,
who resigned as quartermaster,
was replaced by Pat Abston
School Committee
(continued from page 1)
which had hoped to be ab!e to
report earlier. Since all of its
membei8 also serve on other
committees, they have found it
impossible to hold a meeting to
da'e.
Meanwhile, Le n Johnson of
the School Board, in iesponse to
a wiie sent to Commissioner of
Education, James Ryan, was in
formed that school distrctscan
ssue bonds for capital outlays,
‘ provided the amount does not i
exceed ten per cent of the assess- j
ed valuation of the district ”'
The letter added that any school
district, whether ci*y or in- ,
dependent, has the right to bor-1
iow money tor current operating
expenses, provided the amouutj
borrowed does not exceed the
anticipated revenue for that
year.
A letter to Principal Tom (Jt
terback from Mr. Ryan stated
that “I was glad to know that
the money which you received
helped you out of your present
difficulties, but 1 fear that the
months of March and April may
find us in greater financial diffi
culties than ever.”
