TERRITORY'S SCHOOLS MUST DROP BUDGETS BECAUSE PALMER INCORPORATED LATE

Because Palmer waited until the legislature adjourned, two years ago, before deciding to be- come an incorporated school dis trict, the territory's schools are going to be short about five per cent of their refundable expenses this year, James Ryan, commits Sioner of education, said in Ju- neau last week. Dr. Ryan stated that Palmer's unexpected switch from rural to incorporated status. which cannot be balanced by a similar switch in school funds, is the greatest single factor in the expected shortage.
 Other factors in bringing about the short school funds are the sharply rising costs and the al- most universal increases in en- rollment in schools throughout the territory.
 Dr. Ryan will ask the legisla- ture for a deficiency appropria ton of a plus $1O4,O00 to make up the school funds shortage. If that appropriation is not granted, he said schools either would have to pare down their budgets by five percent, or make up the diff ference in funds themselves.
 The school transportation fund also is expected to be short about $58,000 this year. Dr. Ryan ex- plained that by pointing to the large numbers of families who have settled on the outskirts of towns. If the deficiency appro- priation for transportation is not granted, districts must shorten routes or cancel certain ones in order to make costs fall within the budget. This probably would mean that many children would not get to school this year.
 The anticipated five percent shortage in school budgets will mean that Palmer School will lose about $3,000 of refundable funds this year. If the deficiency ap- propriation is not granted, the Palmer budget will be trimmed to meet the cut, superintendent William T. Zahradnicek said.

The visitors had received endorse ments of the plan in nine cities before they reached Palmer. Ketchikan was first to head the subscription list, with an offer of $5,OOO annually as its share of support to an Alaskan tourist as- sociation. t
 MT. Armitage said the first problem of any tourist-seeking locality is to get satisfied visitors to come back. "The word of mouth advertising you get from a satisfied tourist, is the best ad- vertising you can get," he stated. Therefore it's your job to keep them happy and to see to it that they get what they want in a visit to your community"
 The visitor particularly praised Palmer's tourist attractions. He also commented on the visible inn provements in the town, since his last visit here two years ago.
 MT. Armitage also suggested the need for a closer union between the territories of Alaska and Ha- waii. He suggested that Alaskans organize an air tour to Hawaii, in

Superintendent William T. Zah- radnicek of Palmer School again reminded elementary school stu dents of next weeks pre-registra- ton sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The school of flee will be open from nine am. until noon, and from one until four pm. to register grade school pupils.
 All beginning first graders must be six years of age on or before Nov. l, 1850, to be ad- mitted to school. Parents are asked to bring certificates as proof of age.

Rural Schools Benefit By Palmer Status Chonqe

James Hurley, member of the Palmer school board, conceded this week that the territory's in- corporated school funds might have been caught short because of Palmer's switch from rural to territorial school. He re- minded, however, that the Alaska rural schools fund benefited by some $98,0O0 as a result of the

 He also pointed out that a CO., operative effort, such as an Alas kan tourists organization would be, would have far greater au- thority and would carry farther than the efforts of any individual community.

All of us have suffered frustra-
ton from the way Russia has
baked repeatedly in the UN and
lately has been boycotting various
Of its agencies because she wants
Communist China to replace Ma

too, that the UN has been handi-

But it is unlike Herbert Hoover to

Five Years Is Short Trial.
Five years is a short trial. The
UN was not created only for the
uneasy year 1850, but was set up
for all time as an instrumentality
that would slowly develop into a
real world federation. with i'm
provements from time to time as
experience shows the way.
To crack it asunder now would
destroy its whole purpose of
eventual union among nations and
hostile, armed camps when ten
sion is highest. It is at such a
time, at this very time indeed. that
we need a conference room and a
table such as the UN provides
more than at any time since its
creation. This is no time to lock
the door on one party, and a big
party which controls a sizable
chunk of the earth's surface and
the destiny of hundreds of mil

artificial barriers. people like our
selves whom we must consider

a forum in which to speak for

mistakes that both we and the
Russians have made is to think
too much in terms of ourselves
and Russia only.

adequate so far on major interna-

sake, close that door, either.
We cannot affort to be self
righteous. We must not forget
that we, as well as the Russians,
