AVA To Make Drive For New Members To Raise Money For Activities

Edward Coffey, president of the Alaska Visitors Association, made the official announcement Mon day that James Beard had been employed as membership director by the Finance Committee of the association.
 Coffey said that Beard, former ly managing editor of the Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau, had been selected from a list of sev- eral candidates applying for the job and added that his first as- signment will be to conduct the annual membership drive thru out the territory.
 Beard pointed out that all ac- tivities of the association must be financed out of membership fees with the exception of paid adVer- Using in national publications, which can be paid with territorial funds allotted to the association, and predicted that with a little extra investment the tourist in dustry would soon represent AL aska's number one dollar income.
 He called attention to the fact that the American Automobile Assn. is predicting Alaska's tour ist business will double this year and added that it can double again next season if the territory ex- bands it's stateside advertising and publicity campaign.
 "The amount of publicity and promotion we can plan is directly dependent on the size of our mem bership and we're calling on all Alaskans to invest that extra dol lar now to build a lasting indus try for the territory" Beard con cluded.

Hawaii Needs Federal Aid
 To Ease Housing Shortage

WASHINGTON, R-The House Banking Committee was told to- day that Hawaii needs more lib eral government financial help to ease it's housing shortage.
 Delegate Harrington R-HawaiD asked approval of a bill to per init the Federal National Mort gage Association to make home buying easier for Hawaiians.
 The association makes it pos sible for home buyers to buy houses with a down payment of only five per cent of the price.
 The committee also considered extending these benefits to Guam and Alaska. The Senate already has passed a bill to do this, but refused to extend coverage to Hawaii.
 Housing Administrator Albert Cole commented that home fin ancing is ''just not available" on Guam and that Alaskans have the same problem.

Third Division Halts Reds Striking for More Ground
 To Gain Truce Advantage
THURSDAY

SEOUL, R-Troops of the US. Third Division Thursday smashed back six Communist attacks as an estimated 1000 Reds hit Ameri- can and South Korean outposts in central Korea.
 The Eighth Army identified the Third Division as fighting on the sector northeast of Chorwon to give it credit for hurling back the Communists in a savage outpost battle.
 Some observers said the Chin csc appeared to be trying to grab all possible territory before an armistice since ground won now may be a gain in the truce settle ment.
 Third Division infantrymen hurled back six attacks against Outpost Harry, 10 miles northeast of Chorwon, after hours of close quarter fighting, at times hand-to- hand.
 The Reds poured 10000 artil- lery shells into the US. lines be- fore and during the assaults. And two Communist tanks pumped high-velocity shells into American positions.

Too many people conduct their
lives on the cafeteria plan self

For every man who climbs to
the top Of the ladder of success,
there is some woman who stays
on the ground and steadies it for
him.
A PERSONS temper improves
the more he doesn't use it.
We shouldn't kill time just be-
cause we know time is going to
kill US.
Never miss an opportunity to
make others happy even if you
have to leave them alone to do
it.
Love your neighbor as your
self and your country more than
yourself Thomas jefferson.
The reason many Of us can't
save money is that our neighbors
are always doing something we
can't afford.
He who will economize, will
never have to agoniZe-confucius.
When a man finds no peace
within himself it is useless to
seek it elsewhere.
OF all the things you wear,

KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Christmas is primarily a fam
lily festival--a birthday anniver-
sary when all of the folks are
home" if possible. People cross
the continent in order to spend
the day at home; it is the most
lonely day of the year for the
wanderer
This year, more than q million
old couples will be able to enjoy
the day together as well as all of
their remaining days, thanks to
their social security benefits. Half
Of the 2.5 million retired workers
receiving old-age and survivors
insurance payments are married.
About three-quarters of q million
Of the wives, having reached
their sixty-fifth birthday, are re-
celving additional benefits. In
thousands of cases, these retired
workers have a minor child who
also receives monthly benefits.
Instead of being parted for lack
of income, these families will
divide about "a million in insur-
ance benefits for December and
keep up their homes.
Another million orphaned chill
dren Of insured workers who
have died and about One-third
million widowed mothers will
celebrate the holiday together--
at home. That group will receive
an estimated $54 million for Dec
ember and for many months to
come. Their Christmas may be
saddened by the absence of the
father who made this income pos
sible, but they will have the com
fort and happiness OF remaining
a family and having a home.
A survey of beneficiaries' as
sets and income was conducted
last year by the Bureau which
indicated that the average bene-
ficiary has little or no income
except the social security insur-
ance benefit. The conclusion is
clear that without this insurance
income, the death or old age of
the breadWinner would result in
broken homes. If the system
brings comfort and companion
ship TO the helpless and provides
young Americans with some
guarantee of a mothers loving
care, society will benefit. This
is the Christmas message of your
social security office.
Mr.. Herman r. Frame, Social
Security Field Representative for
Noble county will visit Caldwell
the 2nd and 4th Wednesday.

references were stricken from re-

The California Supreme Court
ruled as violatiVe of the Four
teenth Amendment q 1920 law
which barred aliens ineligible for
citizenship principally Japan
ese) from owning land. The court
termed the law an outright dis
crlminatory one.
Through action by the Phila-
delphia Civil Liberties Union, a
local swimming pool that refused
entry to Negroes was taken over
by the city which proceeded to
operate it on a non-segregated
basis.
The New York State legisla-
ture passed a law extending the
power of the States Commission
against discrimination to cover
public places, such as restaurants
and hotels, etc. A similar bill was
introduced in Rhode Island.
The Delaware Court of Chan
Gerry ruled that a local white
school must admit Negro chill
dren on the basis that segrega-
ton per Sc is not equal" The
court called on the US. Supreme
Court, however, to issue a defini-
tive ruling on the constitution
ality of segregation - an issue
which, it appeared, might be set
tied when the Supreme Court
accepted for review four cases of
school segregation in which the
practice itself is being challenged.
In Baltimore, Md, the Board of
School Commissioners admitted
the first Negro to a special acce-
lerated course for gifted students
in the local Polytechnic Institute.
The Board turned down the op-
portunity to open an equal"
course in an all-Negro school.

Celebrating New Years
Is ''Ceniuries Old"

Man has welcomed the New
Year in a giddy fashion for CEN
turieS.
1t has been observed on vari-
Gus dates in different times and
places but the manner of celebra-
ton has been virtually the same
from the times Of the Romans
And in America, the merry-mak-
ing spirit has been strong one
since the colonial days.
"Lewd Orgies" is the way
writer's have described the early
festivals of the Romans. The cele-
brations were noted for the
amount of food and drink con
Sumed
In colonial days in America ii
was the custom Of younger people
to visit taverns and friends to
drink their health and toast the
coming Of the New Year. Some of
the parties became small riots.
The custom of celebrating has
grown SO much that today the
average Americans feels lost un-
less he has plans to go some
where" and do something" on
New Years eve.
In France and Germany, the
holiday is marked by festivities
resembling those of this country.
Before World War II, Paris and
Berlin assumed a carnical atmoS-
phere. Much of that spirit is re-
turning as these countries recoV-
er from the economic and physi-
cal damage caused by the war
Mexico and the South Ameri-
can countries mark the new year
with extensive religious service
and by lay celebrations in every
city, town and hamlet. All join
in the merry-making which be-
gins early and continues late.
For centuries the New Years
season has been a mixture of
gaiety and solemnity; an occasion
of glowing prophecy and grave
stocktaking; time for resolu-
tions. And for people in all parts
of the free world it is a time for
merry-making.
