caretaker for the Good Samaritan
Community Church. and living in
q back room Of the church. The

Kotzebue Holds Carnival Benefit Crippled Children

Balloons are floating over Kot- zebue and whistles are shrilling, hangovers of the carnival spon- sored by the local chapter of the ACCA. From the time the doors opened at 7:30 in the two build ings donated for the affair, until the bingo players reluctantly turned in their cards many hours later, an overflow crowd of ap- proximately 500 streamed back and forth in true carnival spirit.
 Under the able leadership of the Kotzebue ACCA president, Alice Connolly, members of the local chapter made hundreds of doughnuts, popcorn balls, pre- pared 20 gallons of ice cream, gal Ions of pink lemonade, and ar ragged booths for fish ponds, the wheel of fortune, darts where the bulls eye was a five-dollar bill, and bingo tables.
 Through the courtesy of the local Wien Alaska Airlines man. ager, George Conwell, the large Wien building was made avail able to the bingo players and the coffee and doughnut counter. Thomas Richards, Alaska Nation al Guard commander, offered the use of their building, where the gala crowd massed for the other booths, and still there was not enough room.
 Again through tangible results, Kotzebue showed the progress of this Arctic village in recent years. The response to this first com munity project group in Kotze- bue demonstrates the possibilities of local organization and tn pressing need for a community building.

RISKS OUR FREEDOM

Early in 1852, the United States will be called upon to approve the report of civilian commission, which recently recommended program for the de- velopment of universal military training at the earliest practicable moment
 The United States has gone into two in a state of ghasty unpreparedness and despite the losses that this condition entailed reduced it's armed strength to military impotence almost immediately upon the cessation of hostilities.
 Universal military training, according to General of the Army George c. Marshall, will be "a greater deterrent to possible aggresors muderers of world peace than even the atomic power now in rapid state of development" Because the threat of will prevail for many years, the former Secretary of State thinks that "to be unprepared these days would be tragic risk of our freedom" He wants program of military training that will be reasonably secure against sudden fluctuations of public opnion'

ATA To Appeal CAB Decision To Get Out of Business

SEATTE, tP) - Air Transport Associates, Inc, nonscheduled air carrier, flying between Seattle and Anchorage, Alaska, will ap- peal to the courts the Civil Aero nautics Boards refusal to recon slider its order that Air Transport Associates suspend operations.
 Duncan R. Miller, general man. ager of A.TA., said a brief will be prepared ard the case probab- ly will be filed by the middle of next week.
 Commenting on the CAB rrsing, Miller said This is in keeping with CAB policy over the years. We've been expecting it. In the past four years the CAB has put out of operation virtually every independent carrier serving Alas ka either through economic regu- latiOn or other strangulation rules"
 The CAB ruling, announced Wednesday in Washington, D.C., gives the air line 30 days in which to wind up it's. affairs, unless it should appeal to the courts. The board said ATA had violated the terms of it's permit by establish ing a regular schedule between Seattle and Anchorage.
 "Air Transports airplane ca pacity will not be lost to the de- fense effort" the CAB announced, because the planes will revert to the Air Force from which they were leased and doubtless will be released to other carriers"
 "We're too big to ignore but not big enough to afford our own lobby in Washington" Miller de- clared
