Loans Favored
By Senators

Probability of passage this year
of Congressman S a n b orn S bill
which would provide for loans to
persons in Alaska and the CONT
mental United States who acquire
farms by means of homestead en-
try on pu b ic lands became
strengthened last week when the
Senate Agriculture and Forestry
Committee reported the measure
favorably to the Senate The lower
house passed the bill in May.
At the present time funds or
credit are availa bic under the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act
to farmers but the law does not
consider homesteaders as farmers
for loan purposes, situation that
the Idaho Congre ssm n S bill
would remedy. Loans to home
steaders in the States and Alaska
would be made under the terms
of the bill on the security of mort
gage contract S creating liens
against land prior to the time the
settlers obtain title to the land.
Delegate Bartlett sponsored bill
early this session providing these
benefits for Alaska homesteaders
but its enactment will not be nee
essary if the Sanborn bill becomes
law.

Seward Filters Aid
Hunters Stranded
By Plane Crock-Up

A smashed up plane on the shore
of Tustumena Lake caught the
eyes of Jack Dodge and Dick
Thomas while they were flying to
Homer from Seward last Sunday.
Landing their float plane nearby,
they learned that the plane, be-
longing to H. c. (Red Harrington
of Homer, had cracked up in a
take-off after he had dropped two
hunters at the scene, smashing a
wing tip, propeller, motor mounts,
and landing gear No one was hurt.
Dodge and Thomas flew to
Homer, where they notified Har-
rington's wife, and then returned to
lake with sleeping bags, food and
parts for the plane. The party of
three had been there three days,
but had managed to shoot a bear
for food
On the way to Homer Dodge and
Thomas saw a plane on a mountain
top. Closer examination showed it
to be the plane of Gene Lawrence
of Homer, who had found the
mountain top the only suitable
spot to land in that inaccessible
country Lawrence was also hunt
ing.

President Signs Bill
To Aid Schools

Schools in Alaska, as well as in
the States, where activities of the
federal government have caused
serious financial burdens on the
school districts concerned, viii ,e-
ceive financial aid through a bill
signed by President Truman last
week.
The law continues for an addi-
tional year program which has
been in effect for several years
whereby federal monetary aid for
the maintenance and operation of
school facilities has been given to
schools overburdened with war
incurred enrollments. The law,
however, just enacted is broader
than previous laws inasmuch as it
extends aid to schools burdened
by federal activities. Federal assist
ance is limited to the amount of
the actual deficit in the schools
maintenance and operation budget
during the year. The program will
be put into effect just as soon as
Congress appropriates the author
lied S7,5OOO0O.
During the 1949 fiscal year the
Anchorage and Fairbanks school
districts received financial assist
ance under the program with $42,-
819 allote d to Anchorage and
S8,797 to Fairbanks.

After a Ui8it to the Sentinel office

ing note.)
Dear Miss Elsie:
Since l could not seem to be in
tcrviewed without suffering,
will interview myself
Lillian Brinton trucked into
town today, to report that last
Monday was as good day as any
she hoped to. see, for being an
abandoned woman at the foot of
country, lane. She said that the
gasoline truck conveniently broke
out her road, and the driver kindly
mailed her letter, so it would not
have been so bad, if DR.. Brinton
had not written The weather could
not have been so bad, since your
letter arrived promptly He had
departed the night before the late
unpleasantness, for his second two
week field trip since the first of
December, to Donora, Pennsylva-
MIA, where the Public Health Serv-
ice is conducting an extensive in
vestigation of life in the smog,
where 20 people recently died.
DR.. Brinton is an old hand at
planning community surveys, as
he is a sociologist, editor: So is
Mrs. b. and incidentally Stats
tician, and house-to-house inter-
views are right down his alley
but his farm road, now, is some
thing else again. Almost anyone,
looking at it at any time of year,
is apt to remark-''it's no road"
Mrs. Brinton said that they could
have come out under their own
steam,, even Monday, as the tractor
was running and the wheels turned
in, two causes why he had had to
begin trip to Cleveland last year
via hand sled and hip boots (the
return, 10 days later was made in
the same style).

Delegates Hit
"RailrOading"
OF Local Bill

Montgomery County Legislators
are accusing the States Demo-
cratic administration of ''bad
faith" in trying to railroad" To-
cal bill through the State Legisla
ture.
The bill would exempt the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
missions sinking fund and water
bonds from it's Ia per cent bonded
debt limit, which would enable the
commission to issue an additional
five million dollars in bonds.
Instead of referring the bill to
the county delegation, Speaker of
the House Sybert referred it to
another delegation. Lofstrand, Jr.,
of the Montgomery County delega-
ton said, "Never before in the
history of the General Assembly
has a local bill been referred to a
committee other than the delega-
ton from the county affected. This
is just an attempt to railroad the
bill through the Legislature"
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, State Su-
perintendent of Schools, expressed
vigorous opposition to the bill in
troduced by the Montgomery Coun-
ty delegation, providing for an
elected school board. ~ think this
bill ought not to be passed. I don't
think we will get the best people
on the school board under this pro-
posal,' he said.

The Council delayed action on a

Agent Albert E. Canradis that he
be permitted to attend hearing

Fixing of rates for the county
