Their Views

MIR. Lawrenson believes he has
capably handled the assignment
in the past four years and can
continue to do so. He has def
mite ideas about the county Jail
and believes supervision over 1t
should be returned to the sheriff.
It was this contention that led
Evening star., 1954-10-19

to a row with members of the
County Council during Mr.. Law
renson's administration. Until
the 1850 General Assembly
changed it, the Jail had been
supervised by the sheriff. Mr..
Lawrenson believes that is
more efficient operation"
MIR. Bennett likewise believes
he has the qualifications to per-
form the work. If elected, he
asserts, "the voters will reap the
benefit of having q more efficient
and economic operation of the
sheriff's Office" He says he will
benefit by his previous business
experience and by the fact that
he was a county justice of the
peace for seven years. He plans
no major personnel changes
within the sheriff's Office if he
should take over and says pres
ent deputies would be retained
"as long as they do the job"

Need for Basic Changes Seen in Employment Security Commission

The Legislative Examination and Investigating Committee met in Anchorage on May 28 29, 1854.
 Chairman Herald E. Stringer announced that the committee heard reports from it's investiga- tive staff on the organization and operations of the Employment Security Commission and the AL aska Department of Health.
 MT. Stringer stated that the information which has been de veloped recently by the commit tee indicates clearly the need for substantial changes in the laws and regulations governing the op- erations of the Employment Se- curity Commission. In comment ing on public hearings held re- gently in Anchorage by the com mission, Stringer said:
 "The lack of accomplishment resulting from the public hearings held by the Employment Security Commission during the past year points up clearly one aspect of this need for certain basic revi- sions of laws and regulations. The findings of this committee will form the basis of corrective rec concentrations to executive off cials, where appropriate, and to the next legislature"
 MT. Stringer announced that the committees examination of the Alaska Department of Health is continuing.
 Attending the meeting were:
 Senators Howard Lyng, Nome, and Mike Stepovich, Fairbanks; Representatives Stringer, Anchor age; William K. Boardman, of Ketchikan, and Alden L. Wilbur, Fairbanks.

Airmen Take Furlough to East Coast
 From Anchorage in Small Plane

WESTFIELD, N. J., R-Two young Air Force enlisted men ar rived at Westfield Airport Sunday after 12-day flight in small two-seater plane from Anchorage, Alaska, for a furlough at home.
 Michael Amato, 23, of Hillside, a radar mechanic and airman first class, stationed in Alaska, bought the plane there for SLIGO and talked a friend, Airman First Class Gerald Wood, 21, of Mon son, Mass, into accompanying him on the furlough flight.
 Amato soon found that flying in Alaska, where pilots follow natural landmarks, was lots easier than flying over the United States.
 He followed the Alcan Highway into this country, he said, then began charting with air maps. At one small airfield, where they stopped in Missouri, the last air map had been sold and they had to use regular automobile road maps
 Amato said the trip was rugged, flying through mountains and driving rainstorms, where only light rain had been predicted. Ac- tual flying took about a week and
The Nome nugget., 1954-06-02

the rest of the time was spent waiting for clear weather.
 The young air enthusiast did not tell his parents, MT. and Mrs. Anthony Amato, about his plans to fly home on his first furlough since he came to Alaska with the Air Force about two years ago.
 At a stopover in Canada, he wrote a letter home, saying he was on his way.
 His mother said she has hardly forgiven him for the worry he caused. But Amato's father said it was the same kind of crazy thing he might have done as a youngster.
 Amato won't be flying back, however. His father said he al ready had buyer for the sons plane and the intrepid airman agreed he would take cOmmer- cial airline back to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska.
 Wood, who went along on the ride, admitted he was a little frightened some of the time, But Amato said he was confident he would make it and besides he was too busy flying to worry.

 The Alaskans' visit returns one made by a bus load of Seward, Neb., people, including town basketball team, last year.
 The Seward Seward get-togeth- CTS were conceived as a sort of inter-city goodwill and promo tional gesture with basketball rivalry for spice.
 The Alaskans used benefits, dances, amateur shows and rallies to foot the $11,721 bill for the chartered flight, said banker Jacque Roth of the Alaska city.
