SUGGESTION FOR CIVIC
 ICE SKATING RINK.

At last evenings counci meeting a communication was read from Alfred J. To. men, manager of the Lomer Com1 Co.,, in which he sug. gested the construction of . municipal ice skating rink tc be located on the corner ot Lanes Way and Main Street
 MT. Lomen stated that the owners of the large lot on that corner had been appro- ached and that they were will ing to permit the flooding of that property to provide a skating rink. Thorulf Leh- mann and the Lomen Broth CTS, are the joint owners of that property.
 Decidedly favorable discus sion took place on this matter and a committee of the coun- cil was appointed with full power to act immediately up- on devising ways and means of providing the suggested skating rink.
 The suggestion in itself, is one of highly civic progress siveness. For numerous years attempts were made to pro

vide such a rink in order to afford a place in the city where ice skating could be indulged in. At the same time, the safety factor proved to be just as important, as there was, and still is, great danger in the children of Nome doing their ice skating on dredge ponds, rivers and creeks where they might fall through the ice and drown before help could be obtain ed.
 In the establishment of a skating rink in the heart of the city, the safety factor is taken care of and the provid- ing of a place for the enjoy ment of this popular sport has also been provided.
 The two business concerns are to be commended for their interest in the matter and in providing the location where the rink could be con- structed.
 More civic interest and pro gressive plans for Nome should be evidenced by not only the business people of the city but it's residents as we'll.

EDUCATION IN ALASKA

"The public education sys- tenn of Alaska compares fav- orably with the best in any of the forty-eight states. Of course, it is true that we had Ia slight advantage, in that our territory is newer than any of the states, and our fore runners were able to select from many patterns; but it has been our good fortune to have outstanding men shape our educational pol icieS.
 There is no place within the realm of the United Stat es that has a higher standard for teachers than the Terri tory of Alaska. Three years of professional training are required of elementary teach CTS, and high-school teachers must have spent five years in preparation. In spite of the fact that we are handicapped in the selection of teachers by remoteness, the territory has been able to obtain the best in teaching ability. This has been proved by the success of our high school graduates in higher institutions and by their success in all fields of economic and professional life. However, teachers should not take all the credit for the success of our young people, but the fact that they possess that true Alaskan mettle should not be overlooked.
 "The method of financing education in Alaska surpass- eS methods in any of the stat es. The bulk of the cost of operation of our schools is fairly distributed throughout the territory, and only a min- or part of this expense must be met by the incorporated towns. In practically all the states this condition is revers- ed, and the cost of maintain ing suitable schools often plac es a hardship upon small com munities. Eighty percent of the cost of operation of the Public School at Nome is met by the Territorial Depart ment of Education, while the remaining twenty percent is met by local taxation.
The Nome daily nugget., 1935-11-13

We are extremely fortun- ate in having a splendid instl- tuition of higher learning. The University of Alaska is a rap idly growing institution and is very satisfactorily meeting the needs for well trained citizens. The graduates of our little University are becom- ing ever more prominent in the affairs of our Territory"

Living costs in the larger cities
of the United States increased 1.8
per cent from November, 1884, to
March, 1885, Secretary of Labor
Perkins reported today. The in
crease was caused largely by So

Practically all living costs with the
exception of rent advanced.
The greatest rise in food costs
in the 80 cities under observation
was experienced in Cincinnati with
an increase of 1875 per cent. Port

group which did not show in
creased food costs. Food costs in
Chicago and Indianapolis in
creased II per cent.
Average rental costs for the 80
cities combined declined by 2 per

WRITTEN EXAM
FOR AUTO|STS
INSTITUTED
Saving of Time Alone Seen
important Enough to
Warrant Change

Examinations for automobile
drivers permits in Washington
will be considerably more difficult
after today.
No longer will a prospective
driver be able to skim through
the regulations and learn enough
about them to satisfy an
examiner. No longer will he be
able to answer three or four
questions and get his permit. To-
day the Traffic Bureau Institutes
a system of written examinations
for all who apply for driving per-
mits.
20 Questions on List
Following a practice now in
vogue in a number of States,
candidates for permits will be
required to pass a written exami-
nation on the traffic regulations
before they can receive their
licenses. This step is merely one
of a series which Traffic Direc-
tor william A. Van Duzer and
his staff are taking in an effort
to tighten up on the issuance of
driving permits and it went into
effect when the permit bureau
opened this morning.
The examination will consist Of
20 questions and can be given to
group as large as Is people at
a single time. This factor, in
itself, Mr.. Van Duzer believes, is
sufficiently important to warrant
the change inaSmuch as more ap-
plicants can be handled in given
time than under the old system.
The Traffic Bureau will use
three sets of 20 questions each
and no applicant will know what
particular examination he is going
to get until the time the papers
are given out, nor will all of the
candidates who take a single exam
be given the same questions. In all
probability, all three sets will be
used on each group.
Some of Queries
Some of the questions which
appear IN the papers are:
"What should a driver do
when intending to stop, turn,
change direction or pull from
the curb?"
what is the speed in school
zones during a recess periOd?"
"Why is it dangerous to drive
under the influence of liquOr?"
"HOw close to an intersection
may - vehicle park?"
(Which vehicle has the right
of way at an intersection not
controlled by a light or an Of
ficer?"

ARLINGTON PWA
LOANPROPOSAL
IS ST UD|ED
3 Officials Favor Plan to Aid
Building of a Courthouse
Annex; Opposition Stirs

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
June 20.-Three Arlington County
officials went to Richmond today
to consult with State PWA Off
Gals on the ACCESSIBILITY of seeking
a. PWA loan for Arlington County
to finance the proposed addition
to the county courthouse to be
built this year.
They were County Manager Roy
s. Braden, County Engineer c. L.
Kinner and County Board Chair
man Benjamin M. Smith.
A poll of the board members
showed four of the five in favor
of financing the courthouse extern
sion through a PWA loan if a As
per cent grant could be secured.
Has Her Approval
Mrs. Elizabeth Magruder, mem
Der of the board, said that if
the county was going to spend
approximately 100000 for the
courthouse extension. it would
be foolish to ignore any PWA
offer that made the county a
gift of As per cent of the loan.
She further declared that any
attempt to seek a PWA loan for
any project the country needs
would certainly get her vote"
She particularly made refer
ence to schools, pointing out that
the present building boom in
Arlington county might necessi-
tate additional school buildings.
:, .. Replying to reports that Airing.
ton officials were opposed to
additional PWA loans, she said:
"The officials that have ex.
pressed themselves against this
type of loan include only one
board member, the common
wealth'S attorney and the trea-
surer. The latter two do not
even have a vote in the affairs
of the county board, and it
certainly is not fair to put the
board on record from their
statements"
Have Same View
Three other members of the
board commented similarly on
reports from Richmond that they
had denounced the new works
program.
commemorative Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas at a previous
meeting of the board, termed the
PWA loans tricky" and said the
county should steer shy of them.
County Treasurer Charles Jesse
remarked that he didn't think it
advisable for the county to &C.
cept any more PWA loans even
If they were available.
1t was board member Christie
pher Garrett that suggested to
the board that it investigate the
PWA offer as a means to finance
the courthouse extension. Mem
Der William McShea opposes a
PWA loan.

What do you know about

are so tough over there girls
will jump at any opportunity.
We can't see just how para

From what we can understand,
Russia doesn't have many pent-

OF course, if they're being
trained to fight an enemy,
then it sounds like a smart
idea. ANY army can be

Learning to parachute is as

To Home Group; National

Possible action by the Ameri.
can Legion against Representa-
tive Thomas R. Amlie (PO of Wis.
consin, appeared today as an
aftermath of the production last
night of Waiting for Lefty" a
radical labor drama, in Pierce
Hall, an adjunct of All Souls Uni
tartan Church, Sixteenth and
Harvard Streets Northwest.
The investigation will be made
on the strength of remarks made
by Mr.. Amlie about the Forty-and-
Eight, an organization within the
Legion, made up of members who
have distinguished themselves in
Legion work.
Meanwhile local authorities,
who demanded that the play be
toned down, with profanity and
obscenities eliminate under
threat of hating the performance
and arresting the actors, an
nounced the ban still stood and
that police will be present again
tonight to see that the cast does
not forget" and insert the OBJ
jectionable passages.
Amlie Makes Talk
Mr.. Amlie, who was listed as
one of the sponsors of the produc.
ton, was called on to speak last
night before the play started. He
assaulted local authorities for plac-
ing the ban, and declared Wash
ington docs not need and will
not stand for an Anthony Com
stock" He added:
81 belong to the Forty and
Eight, and when we hold meet
ings we have officers present so
that what we may do may be
legally illegal. And we don't
get arrested, either"
This statement was attacked to-
day by James O'Connor Roberts,
department commander of the LIE
gion and former grand chef de
care of the Forty and Eight. He
said:
"Of course, Mr.. Amlie is not
a member of the organization in
the District. But / defy him to
prove that we have ever held
any show that is obscene, or
that we favor anything that con-
tains COmmunistic doctrine or
propaganda. Nothing of that
sort has been done in the Dis.
trict.

remarks to the FOrty.and- Eight

for Mr.. Amlie to refer to the
organization at a meeting of
that sort and in the manner he
did"
Close to 500 Communists, rad.

seekers and plain citizens packed
the hall to witness the first Wash

but found the promised thrill
lacking.
