Youthful Eskimo Craftsman Gets Interior Study Grant
(The Washington Post)

WASHINGTON, DC, - When the Rochester Institute of Tech nology gets new student named Ronald Senungetuk, son of MT. and Mrs. Willie Senungetuk of Nome, this month, the arts craft profs are likely to find they can learn lot from their pupil.
 Ronald, 20-year-old, smiling Eskimo, already has graceful can delabra, lamps, salad sets,l and other articles on display at gift and speciality shops. And he holds membership in the Museum of Modern Arts in New York City.
 Ronald will head for Rochester soon to get a head start on a four-year course at the School for American Craftsmen. He'll study there under a personal scholarship given by members of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board of the Interior Department.
 J. Edward Davis, general man. ager of the board, has a surprise for Senungetuk in his office. From an exhibit case of Eskimo arts and crafts, Davis took two of the youths creations-a cande- labra and lamp base in which a walrus tusk gives the sweeping, cleancut lines of modern design.
 The young artist craftsman made them from native materials such as chips of ivory, walrus tusks, cherry, and mahogany. He finished the work while studying at Mt. Edgecumbe, Alaska, more than 1000 miles from his home in Nome.
 After arts and crafts and bus1- ness management courses at the Rochester, Ronald wants to return to Alaska and help develop Eski- mo arts and crafts into an eco- homie asset for his people.

ALASKA'S POPULATION
ANCHORAGE DAILY TIMES)


 Alaska is no longer low on the totem pole so far population is concerned
 The Bureau of the Census has revealed that the territorys population greater than that of Nevada as of July l, 1852.
 The announcement was packed with fascinating facts for Alaskans.
 It disclosed that no state came anywhere near Alaska in rate of growth during the two years from 1850 to 1852. Alaska was credited with increase of 413 percent Arizona led all the states with per- centage gain of 14,6 percent.
 Even if the military population should be deleted from the Alaska calculations, this territory still held tight grip the record for rapid growth The Bureau said the increase in civilian population alone P percent which is substantially more than the Arizona gain of 14.6 percent.
 But the military population should not be deducted from the Alaska figures for true comparison with the states. Military personnel included in the Bureau figures for the states and always have been. fair comparison requires that the base be used for Alaska.
 The Bureau announced that at mid 1852 the popu- ation of Nevada 180, 900 compared with Aaskas 182,OOO
 The territory passed up Nevada while that state experiencing rapid growth second only to Ari- zona Alaska gained 413 percent. Nevada gained 124 percent. Florida ranked third in gain with 119 per- cent The gain for continental United States only 3.4 percent
 This disclosure knocked into a cooked hat another of the arguments of antistatehood forces Feeble the argument was there were those who contended that Alaskas population inadequate to carry the responsibilities that go with self-government
 Now that Alaska outranks Nevada in population and Nevada has been operating a state since 1864 without expressing desire to be de-stated stated whatever the process might be- 1t is to be hoped that the population question is answered forever
 The figures show that Alaska in midi 1852 had greater population than that of 28 states upon entry into the Union The 28 make formidable list of some of the largest most popuous and wealthes states in the Union.
 The list was compiled by the House committee in connection with it's recent study of statehood showed the population when admitted and the date of admission for the 28 states as follows:
 Pop. Date Pop. Wisconsin 180,000 Alabama North Dakota d52,199 Mississippi 'o'0lz l0l| Michigan 15O,0O0 1887 Washington 75,116 1889 73677 17e2 Colorado 135O00 1876 Florida Montana 132,l59 1889 Tennessee 67,000 1796 Minnesota 123,053 1858 Missouri Kansas 107,206 1861 Indiana Nebraska 100000 1867 Wyoming California 92,599 1850 Oregon 52,4OO Vermont 85,425 1791 Arkansas 1886 Idaho 84,3S5 1890 Ohio 45,365 78,819 1846 1864 1918

ing death" He said it was still
too early to present a true

creased the scope of surgery"

OF the newer drugs.
