pay salaries and carry on its
functions without money, and
that taxes are its only means
OF raising money. Through
such hearings, the Council
may well take occasion to
point out the tremendous pro-
blems it faces, and thus get
across to the citizenry the idea
that the fullest cooperation is
needed.
IN going into such hearings,
the Council must be prepared
with facts and figures, careful
ly tabulated and arranged for
ready reference. Nothing
should be withheld, and a free
and frank discussion should
be engaged in between the
members of the public and
the legislature. If this is the
purpose of the hearings, and
if the legislature expects to
CLEAN from the testimonies and
opinions ideas which may be
used for constructive Iegisla-
ton, then we say go right
ahead. The venture is worth
the try.

THE COUNCIL AND PUBLIC HEARINGS

IL NV AND fODLIC HEAHINC1S
1T IS H PLAN of the Council, we learn, to conduct
a series of public hearings during which citizens NAV air
their grievances, which will be carefully noted, and when
complies form the basis for study of appropriate legislation
The thought is a rather ambitious one, and equally fascina-
ting. That is the way that true democracy works, and that
is the method followed by the early Greeks in their town
meetings, history teachers tell us. But in modern society, in
large towns and cities, and in the face of complex problems,
such methods have not proved effective. Yet, here in ST.
Croix it has its merits. The island is small enough, and with
but two towns, and everybody knowing everybody else meet
ings properly conducted, with testimonies and discussions
limited, much could be accomplished.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR us, we have no political par
ties, fully organized, with a continuous platform, or with poll
teal philosophy to follow. This therefore means that each
and every legislator is a party unto himself. He is not com
mitted to any way Of thinking, nor does he have to report to,
or follow any party line. And this further means that he can
skip and jump on whatever side of the fence he wants as Of
ten as he sees fit, much depending upon whether he wants
to use his vote in the Council as a talking point during the
next campaign. With these meetings conducted over a period
of weeks, for example, the material carefully noted & check
ed, the Council will then have before it, the major grievan-
ces of the people, and that body could then tell which Of
these are important enough, and which can be corrected by
legislation.
OF COURSE, MUCH care has to be used, for there is
bound to creep into such public hearings the individual
grievances of those who testify, and the personal matters
which have little or no connection with community pro-
blemS. Here is where the chairman must be skilled and alert
to cut off sharply, but courteously, any deviation from the
line laid down. 1t must be understood, and explained from
the outset that these hearings are for the sole purpose of
helping the legislature to know the major problems of the
, 1949-08-24

wWw
people SO that proper and eff
fective legislation may be pre-
pared and passed.
THE next important step
after collecting the informa-
ton IS the correct study and
tabulation of such informa-
ton, There is bound to be a
mass Of material collected, &
unless care is used the Coun-
Gil will find itself in mid
ocean. 1t will be found, we be-
lieve, that if a good job is done
in preparing the information,
no more than five or six
main problems are posed,
There will be the problems Of
the small grower or farmer,
that of labor, the high cost of
living, balancing imports and
exports, and ways of raising
revenues SO that the budget
may be balanced. These, of
course, are the principal ones,
but in such public hearings,
many a citizen testifying, will
have an opportunity to throw
in his suggestion, and out of
those submitted, many worth
while thought will come.
SUCH hearings will offer
also another advantage. There
is quite a stable majority of
our people who have no idea
whatever of how the govern
ment is run, and believe that
through some distant, far
away godfather, money is Sc
cured for the maintaining of
the several branches. Fewer
than is known may exist. who
never think that a government
has to be run much like a bust
ness, and that it cannot spend,

 PROTECTING FOR
 RARE ALASKA STONES

Prospecting the beaches of Port age Cove, Chilkat River, and Kle heni River is apparently bringing better returns to a Haines' couple than to the sourdoughs at Fish wheel on the Yukon River.
 Finding good agates, bloodstones olivine, rose quartz and other semi precious stones suitable for lapid ary work is the hobby of Forest J. Novel; and his wife, who spend their spare time making ear ringsy tie clasps, bracelets, and scatter pins. Tourists who visited Smiths Chilkoot Fur Farm last summer were delighted with the Alaska sou venirs, and orders for the Christ mas season to send to friends and relatives Outside" are keeping the rock hounds" busy.
 MT. Ncwell's interest dates back some 15 years when he was photo grapher for an archeologist exped- ition in Arizona. Mrs. Howell be- came enthused after taking the mineralogy extension course offered by the University of Alaska two years ago in Haines.
 The Haines' couple hope winter weather will hold off long enough for them to gather material to sup ply their needs for the next few months.
 We recommend this hobby to anyone who has time on his hands It costs little to start, and the sterl- ing and gold-plated findings are ln-. expensive and now readily obtain-- eG," says Mrs. Howell. And It promotes interest, too, in Alaska's natural resources. Who knows, in our prospecting we might even find uranium!"

FORMER JUNEAU COUPLE SAY ALEUTS WENT THE "0IHER WAY; SCIENCE
 JAUNT FiNDS MIGRATION EVIDENCE


 SEATTLE, Nov. 1G-- tR Two young scientists-a man and his wife-do not believe the Aleutian Islands were stepping stones for civilization to proceed from Asia to North America.
 If anything, they say that man. kind first went from east to west along the chain.
 The young couple are Mir and Mrs. Ted Bank, Jr. He is the son of the former University of Idaho football coach who is now President of the Athletic Institute of America at Evanston, III.
 His wife is the former Janet FoW- Ter, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. w.. Fowler, of St. Joseph, Mich. Both attended the University of Michi- gan.
 They spent the last 20 months hopping from Aleutian island to island. Bank is a botanical anthro- pologist from the University of Michigan, and was field director of Navy y-sponsored scientific team which explored most ot the major islands of the chain the past sum- mer.
 Not Stepping Stones
 "Greyer heads than mine will add up the evidence" the 26-year-old scientist said cautiously on arrival, but I think our material, when coupled with all that collected earl fer, will show pretty conclusively that the Aleutians never were mans stepping stones from Asia to North America.
 Instead, it seems more likely that the Asian migration came across Boring Strait drifted down the coast, and part of it moved back westward along the Aleutians."
 He reported discovery of an an- cient wooden mask typical of south east Alaska Indians, but never re- ported before in the Aleutians. He unearthed it while exploring cave on Kagamil in the Island of the Hour Mountains group.
 Tt at least indicates some coll nection between the Aleutians and mainland people, but we'll have to wait until we find more of them to be positive of it's place in history" |" he said.
 He said there were indications that early man moved from the Alaska mainland out along the Aleutians. Ancient village sites now Icing unearthed are buried much deeper on the eastern end of the chain than on the western islands. This would indicate they were cov- cred by succeeding villages before the western groups.
 Married Here
 Bank, his wife and a Navy re- search team, flew over the entire chain, discovering at least 15 an- cient village sites from the air. They were marked by different vegeta- tion patterns and colors.
 The Banks were married in Ju- neau in September, l948. They taught school in the tiny Aleut village of Atka during the winter, then spent the summer. on their scientific work. Mrs. Bank is 21.
 The Banks, who plan to return to the islands next spring to con- tinue their research, said major direct result of their work will be "a collection of detailed military in- formation about the still little-ex- .plored chain.
