Sure, such drastic action
would take real red -blooded
courage, but isn't that exactly
what we are supposed" to have
in Washington?
Aren't our leaders supposed to
be upright, honorable, God-fear-
ing, fearless men who think only
of the welfare of the American
people and our Republic?
Aren't the American people
entitled to this kind of leader
ship at all times, especially dur
ing a period of national emer-
gency"? If they are and if they
don't have it, they'd better get
busy and get it right now.
The chips are down this time
for sure. We've taken all the
bungling this country can stand.
We have reached the point where
we can no longer permit our
public officials to indulge in
face-SaVlng operations no matter
whose face is involved. We'd
probably all be better off if
several of these prominent faces
had been kicked in a long time
ago, but that now is beside the
point.
The point now is that we've
got to save our freedom, our
way of life and our form of
government. If our present lead
ers aren't big enough to admit
their mistakes and start at once
on the right track, then we'd
better get rid of them pronto
and get a whole new crew.
We know now that the only
thing the United Nations has
ever been united on is getting
the most out of the United
States. We know further that
our so-called allies have no will
to protect or defend themselves
and that if General Eisenhower

The stampede is on! Congress

the Administration everything
it wants for no better reason

"The King (Presiden) can do

utterly absurd and very costly
mistakes which were made twice

brand-new variations added.

There are many, many men
that labored diligently, of whom
we have heard very little, one
particular, John Jorden Critten-

until 1863, a strong sentiment
for the Union. In order to unite

How different our lives could
be if we learned to be contented
with what we have, and when
we have to be. Anyone who has
been sick knows how it is to be
discontented. 1t is really worse
than the sickness. 1t is most
necessary in life to face things
as they are and make up our
minds to make the best of things.
1t is easier to adjust ourselves
to situations than it is to change
the situations.
We can enjoy our life more
abundantly if we live it object
lively. One of the greatest
missionaries in the Bible (St.
PauD wrote in his letter to the
Phillipions, Il have learned in
what severe state l am, there
with to be content" We can
remember those words, and put
them to practice every day.
During the next few years,
we are going to under go some
changes. Many of us aren't going
to like, but if we bear the
above in mind we can live and
be happy. Time and sacrifices
with our faith in God and coun-
try will determine our future.
There will be a lot of history
made this year, and we are a
part of it, if we like it or not
So we must make up our minds
to be content and never ceasing
to pray. This country was found
ed an Christianity, by the faith
of our fore fathers, and we
must carry on the same way if
we expect to keep our freedoms.
No one likes wars but if we must
have them, it's better to keep
them away from our own back
yard. It's impossible, as | see it,
for us to be isolated from the
rest of the world so we have to
help others to defend ourselves.
This year as we are called upon
to sacrifice some of our luXurieS.
Lets not complain and grumble
but rather remember and say,
II will be content"

NY. Dock Scuffle Breaks Picketers

NEW YORK, (P)-A brief but spirited Scuffle erupted on New York's strike : becalmed water front yesterday when some 100 longShoremen drove through the strikers picket lines.
 The sortie, led by a supporter of President Joe Ryan of the AFL International Longshoremen's As Sociation, broke through an d around a picket line of 250 men at a Hudson River pier where the liner Coronia had just docked.
 FiStfights broke out. There was a furry of showing, yelling and gouging.
 The invaders reached the dock, but then turned around and left without unloading the 300 tons of general cargo from the British liner. The picketS, who are rebel ling against a recently negotiated contract, watched sullenly as the group retreated.
 The furry came as rebel lead CTS of the anti Ryan strikers threatened to spread the para lyzing stoppage to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chester, Pa.
 Virtually all piers in the big port of New York, including New Jersey docks, and in Boston al ready have been shut down by the strike.
 A total of 122 ships have been immobilized, some of them with periShable cargoes rotting in the holds. Tons of other freight was piling up on docks at the rate of S25,000,000 worth a day.

Government Office, Postal Employees Get Pay Raise

WASHINGTON, (P)-Some 1,- 100000 federal 'white collar" workers and 5OO,OOO postal en- ployes will receive pay raises ret roactive to last July 1.
 Legislation signed Wednesday by President Truman increases the annual pay of most white collar workers by $500 to $500, that of postal workers by $4O0 to $500.
 This will add an estimated 100000 a year to the costs of the federal payroll.
 The pay boost for classified fed eral workers under Civil Service is 10 percent. But those who make less than $3,0O0 a year will get $500 and those paid more than $8,000 will get a flat $500.

THE EISENHOWER QUESTION

The Eisenhower question is still standing the poll hcians their heads in Washington There many predictions these days about what the South will do if Ike the Republican ticket If the General does wind up the COP ticket he has real chance of winning several Southern states, but-no can be what Southern states will do until after the Democratic nominee has been decided upon.
 If that nominee is Vnson, Douglas or Kefauver, Eisenhower will carry few if any, Southern states. The Souths politicians will be plugging the Democratic line But if MT. Truman is renomnated the situation might be different, despite the efforts of most of the political offce-holders.
 If Ike runs, he won't need the Souths support to win in all probability Everyone admits he will be the favorite-f nominated Whether he will be nominated seems about fifty-ffty at present.

SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON

Our skating party was held last Friday evening on the high tun- dra lake overlooking the city of Nome with Alpine scenery of the mountains trimming the northern horizon.
 Tn single file, we trudged across the frozen tundra. Looking back, we could see the followers like a meandering caravan owing northward to their destination. An occasional laughter or shout ing revealed that some unexpec- ted obstacle had interfered with someone's progress.
 Upon nearing the lake, eager eyes were searching for the first glimpse of the lake. There it was, like a gem in the tundra.
 We found a large bench wait ing for us on the east side of the lake. Each student brought a. stick Of driftWood from the stock pile which had been deposited earlier in the evening. It took but one match to ignite some dry shavings and soon the driftWood threw out heat and light.
 The moon On the northeast hor- izon gave assistance to the ska ter's keen delight. The Northern Lights, like a magic glow, lent it's charm in a low arch across the northern sky. The evening was most pleasantly spent in ska- ting, roasting marshmallows, and games on ice.
 The following students were neither absent nor tardy during the past six weeks:
 Katherine Bjornstad, Starlette Hunt, Joan Longley, Lola Ost, Robert Summers, Diane Swan berg, Gordon Swanberg, and Mil ton Willoya.
 Extending out to the left of the constellation called the Square of Pegasus" is the con- stellation "Andromeda" which marks the head of the maiden, resting upon the shoulders of Pegasus, the Winged Horse. The two constellationS can now be easily located just above the bright planet Jupiter, seen in the eastern evening sky.

United Nations Delegates At Nome Rotary Meeting

There was a meeting of the little United Nations Assembly Thursday as part of the Nome Rotary luncheon.
 Yugoslavia, represented by Am bassador Carl Glavinovich, re- ported a growing interest and in creasing participation in the na- tions' joint interests in world peace. Former Judge Theodore Duffield read the preamble to the U. N. Charter, which pledges member nations to work for peaceful joint action as opposed to the devastating wars that have twice brought havoc in our gen. eration.
 Honorable William Cameron, just up from Argentina, said that citizens of that South American dictatorship were contributing beef to the JUN. police action in Korea, but were not allowed to discuss things political, even at Rotary functions, even though the people seemed very friendly.
 Representing His Majesty's Gov ernment, Honorable Vim. Brown, said that the election being held in Britain Thursday would strengthen, if anything, Scotch determination to Wholeheartedly work together with other nations.
 When asked what the Glasgow ties thought of the U.N.'s hand ling of Korea, he reported that the same energy and money spent otherwise might have won a friend of China, according to the Scotch people he talked wi h there last winter.
 Antonio Polet, sometime from Italy, said that that nation was not yet a member of the U.N., but hoped tn at it might be, even though up to now Russia had vetoed it's request.
 Canada was we'll represented, with the Honorable James Me Lean, Lawrence Calvin and liar old Harper in attendance from Canada. MT. Harper said Canada was very actively taking part in the JUN. Displaced Persons pro- gram, with many of his friends introducing new arrivals from overseas to him when he was last there.
 Dr. Langsam carried out his assignment on. diagnosing. tn e JUN. situation by quoting from a clergyman who said it was get ting so tense now that people found it difficult to sleep in church through his sermons.
 It. Don Hendershot, program chairman, Dean Achisoned the delegates through their paces as master of ceremonies. The Nome Public School students had made JUN. flags for decorations, and Rotary members all had chance to ask questions.
 New member to Nome Rotary Club was John Cooley, Nome head of the Alaska Road Commis- soin.

excuse to vote against incorpora- ton. Many of those whose voice in being thus raised live here, work here, earn their money here, expect the public to support them through patronage of their busi- neSses, but do not want to pay taxes to create and support a city which, in turn, would lead to greater earnings and profits.
 A review of the budget used by any city in Alaska will reveal that the total sum raised from taxation is, in nearly every case, less than 50 per cent of the total budget. Revenues accruing to a city come from many sources.
 In the case of Palmer the 1i- censes and fees NOW being paid by every business and profession al man in Palmer will, for the most part, revert to the city treas ury. The city may derive reve- nues from other licenses and per mits not now being assessed. In some instances assessment of a reasonable license fee, together with an appropriate ordinance, will result in greater safety to the public, for example,: public carriers of persons and property for hire may be required as re- quisite to license, to carry ade- quate insurance on their vehicles for public protection.
 It should be borne in mind that taxation of city properties varies in amount in direct proportion to demands of the people for inn provements and the quality of the persons elected to council posts.
 If demands are moderate, then moderate taxation shall result.
 A studied analysis of the situ- ation shows no serious burden should be placed upon property owners and business houses as a result of incorporation. The few who decry taxes would also op- pose any other move organized to have them help support the fire and police protection, and road improvements they demand, and, loudly denounce failure to give them this protection when needed.
 In the changing economy of the Valley area, the town of Palmer cannot stand still, it must go backward or forward in growth and wealth. Which of these the reader of this article may want, let him or her vote accordingly on April 10, but be sure to vote.
