ALASKA STUDENTS
SPREAD FAME OF
NORTH at CHENEY

CHENEY, Wash.-Martha Louise
Yearout of Skagway is the newly
elected publications chairman Of
the Eastern Washington College
of Education branch of the Asso-
citation for Childhood Education, In
ternational. She is majoring in fine
arts. The college is located ir
Cheney, l6 miles from Spokane
and the Skagway student partici-
pated in the recent regional meet
ing of ACEI in Spokane at which
four international officers spoke
The beauty of Alaska was ex-
tolled in Spokane newspapers Oct
ober 7 and 8 by Mrs. Virginia Aim
strom Briner, Kodiak teacher who
is attending Eastern Washington
College of Education until she is
permitted to return home. She and
her husband, government engin-
eer, missed their mail while travel
ing in Yellowstone Park last sum-
mer. When it caught up with them
in July, they learned that June
80 was the last date for accepting
transportation to Kodiak. Mr.. Bri-
ner was allowed to return. Mrs.
Briner was offered teaching po-
sition but decided to satisfy de-
sire suppressed for 26 years, so re-
turned to this College, which she
had attended in 1924.
Spokane papers quoted Mrs. Bri-
ner as saying Alaska is the most
beautiful place in the world. The
mountains and waterfalls cannot
be adequately described. In Kodiak
we can drive up into the mountains
and see the worlds fiercest bear
and the most breathtaking scenery.
Even Kodiak beavers make the
hugest houses"
Mrs. Briner praised the intelli-
gence of her pupils. She said their
consuming interest is cowboys, with
trains a close second. 1 am taking
some toy trains back with me. /
do hope 1 can return by Christmas
She added Its really fun going to
college again. The young people are
so friendly, and its nice to know
that many Alaska students come
here. A few of my former teachers
are still here, and some OF the
buildings are unchanged. But what
amazes me is the preponderance
of men students. That was not the
case in the old days"
Mrs. Briner is scheduled to give
A talk about Alaska at the college
model laboratory elementary school
November /.

SMALL HOSPITALS ARE
AIDED BY FUNDS FROM
ALASKA HEALTH BOARD

Small hospitals and clinics in
IA Alaskan communities were al
lotted funds to help defray opera
tional deficits ranging from $500
to $4,000 by the Alaska Board OF
Health during its annual meeting
which terminated here recently.
The allotments were made from
a $4,000 fund made available by
the Territorial Legislature and set
forth in Chapter SO of the l949 Ses-
sion Laws of Alaska.
After a review of the applica-
tions and substantiating data from
many communities throughout the
Territory for assistance under this
act. the Board of Health members
voted unanimously for allotments
as follows: Valdez, Seldovia, Peters
burg, and Wrangell, $4,000 each; Sit
ka and Klawock, $4,000 each; Craig,
$685.; Haines, Naknek, and Yaku-
tat. $500 each; Tok Junction, $500;
Angoon, Hoonah and Kake, $500
each.
The action of the Board provided
that a system be established for
payment of these allotments to be
made to the respective communities
and records kept Of items for which
funds are expended.
The Health Board voted to re-
commend to the Territorial Legis-
lature the adoption of legislation
regulating the control and elimina-
ton of Bangs disease (brucellosis)
in animals and that this legisla-
ton be enforced by the appropriate
agency responsible for the health
of animals"

CUSTOMS WARNS
OWNERS ABOUT
Vessel MARKINGS

Violations of Customs Bureau re-
gulations governing the marking of
name and port on yachts and other
vessels have resulted in new in
structions to Collectors of Gus
toms. These contain a warning for
vessel owners.
In a recent bulletin, d. B. Strub-
niger, Acting Commissioner of Gus
toms, says, in part: IF the mark
ing of any vessel is found to be
improper under the present ruling,
the owner or person in charge of
the vessel shall be so advised and
thereafter afforded reasonable
time to comply with the pertinent
marking requirements.
IF there is no compliance within
a reasonable time "a penalty case
shall be opened in the usual man
ner."
Strubinger points out that the
Bureau recently held that the speci-
fled marking on a board attached
to the vessel does not meet re-
quirements, and that yachts are
subject to all provisions of the
law, except as such requirements
are altered with respect to the
placing of the name and port.
Accordingly" the bulletin says,
"the Bureau ruled that a proposed
marking with the name and home
port on a mahogany board perm
anently attached to the stern of
the yacht by means of 48 screws
is not in compliance with the re-
quirements."

KerenskyAdvisesU.S.
To Read Red Doctrine
On World Revolution

Alexander Kerensky gave a
Georgetown University audience
this advice last night on how tc
cope with Soviet foreign policy:
Read the writings of the Commu-
mist leaders.
He said Marx, Lenin, and Stain
have written in great detail their
plans to promote world revolu-
ton.
Mr.. Kerensky, who was prime
minister in the Provisional Gov
'ernment of revolutionary Russia
in 1917, told of his impressions
Of Lenin. the successful counter
revolutionist" who banished him
from Russia soon after the Bol-
sheviks gained power.
Like Marx before him, and Sta
lin after him, Mr.. Kerensky said,
Lenin cared only for the world
revolution and used Russia as a
stepping stone to his ends. Mr..
Kerensky read from a letter writ
ten by Lenin to fellow workers"in
Switzerland. in which the revolu-
zionist urged all to encourage civil
war and treason so as to pau
perize the masses" and make them
eager for change.
He said Americans should read
Marx Communist Manifesto" ="
Lenin's books and letters and the
pre- sent writings of Stain. Too
much time is spent here, he added,
in following Spy stories" and
thrilling tales Of peoples who
are pushed out of train windows. {"
Mr.. Kerensky spoke to more
than 700 in CASTOR Hall, George
town University. His was the
first in a series Of eight lectures
in the university's international
Relations Inquiry"
