Miles Brandon, Formerly of Nome, Off to Washington, D.C., on $L,ooo
 Scholarship for More Voice Study

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Brandon left for Washington, D.C., recently to continue voice studies under a $1,000 scholarship awarded him by the National Congress of Am erican Indians.
 An active member of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, Brandon will also work part-time for the con- gress in it's efforts to promote the welfare and protect the rights Of American Indians.
 And" he said, q will also take every opportunity to work for statehood for Alaska"
 Brandon first came to the atten- ton of Indian Congress officials last May when he visited the na tion's capital with 50 other Alas kans urging statehood for the ter ritory. An accomplished tenor, he sang at numerous gatherings held the week the AlaskanS were in Washington.
 In Anchorage he is well known as soloist with the Community Chorus. He also won the Matan- uska Valley talent contest in 1949 and in 1851, and 1852 was soloist with the Boeing male chorus while working Outside in the Se- attle aircraft factory.
 "I've been singing just about as long as I can remember" said Brandon, who was born 30 years
The Nome nugget., 1954-10-11

ago at Council 90 miles northeast of Nome.
 He is the oldest of six sons and one daughter of MT. and Mrs. James Brandon. The family now lives in Anchorage.
 After attending the territorial school at Golovin and the Nome public school, Brandon attended the Snag Point territorial school at Dillingham; when his family moved there in 1887.
 His musical education began in Seattle in 1947 when, after 46 months of military service in An chorage and on Attu, he became entitled to funds under the GI Bill of Rights.
 Since then he has fished almost every summer in the Bristol Bay area while continuing voice train ing in the hope that one day he would become professional singer.
 With the scholarship awarded him by the Indian Congress that opportunity appears just around the corner.

Election Trend Is Democratic

WASHINGTON-The widely conceded election trend is Demo- cratic. That is no longer being dis puted, even by some Republicans. The Republicans are set to touch off a last round rally of enthusi- asm for party candidates, and hope to retain control of both houses, but many observers be- lieve the House is already lost to the COP.
 Of course, the trend can be re- versed. The Cleveland Indians lost the World Series, when the major ity felt certain the Indians had the stuff. And President Truman surprised all the pulse-feelers also, in 1948. The Republicans, though, will have to come up with a surprise vote to keep the Demo- crats from gaining.
 Business is not deteriorating and, in fact, is on the way back up in some instances, but the change is not apparent enough to help the COP. Unemployment and low farm incomes, plus the normal off-year election tendency, is go- ing to hurt the majority party. And where business is still slack, the Republicans will be blamed by many businessmen.
 It may be that Sen. Joe McCar- thy's decision to stay out of the campaign, to a large extent, will prove smart. While it was prob ably dictated by several factors, if the Republicans lose ground November End, he will have es- capped some of the blame sure to have been heaped upon him.

Conservation for the future, "
was the theme of Mrs. Van Atlas
warning plea for the realization
by all Americans, that an accurate
measure of Americas prosperity
and downright survival is Wild
life, soil fertility, water supply
our natural heritage. Many in
stances of wilful, destruction and
misuses through greed and ignor-
anCe were noted.
America is still young" stated
Mrs. Van Alta, but Americans,
during the last 40 years, have been
the greatest spendthrifts of all
times. If Americans will only
empires that have all passed in
to decline when their soil fails,
and when their natural heritage
has been exploited and exhausted,
then perhaps the Science of Con-

For, it is not trees, soil, water
and wildlife only that are in dang

When two TWA Constellation.
loosed their moorings in New
York City and lifted their great
hulks to soar off into the Wide
Blue Yonder over the Atlantic,
destination Europe, in the passen-
ger list of lao were five jubilant
Madison County gals.
The trip is one of a series be-
ing organized by the Telephone
Pioneers of America of Councils
in several cities. Four in the Mad

of the Ohio Bell. Miss Ruth Lam
bert, 59l5 North Main Street, who
is chief at the London office, Miss
Catherine Benjamin, is a business

school teacher.
The Benjamin sisters, Miss
Young and Miss Whitmore, reside
together in West Jefferson anC
stated they would more or less
operate as a foursome, just as
they do at home.
Months ago when the opportun-
ity to make the trip first came tc
their attention, and after the five
had decided to allow themselves
the luxury of such a vacation, {
campaign for financing was. the
first consideration. In the family
budgets, pennies were saved, pen
nies were pinched; lunches were
packed; corners were cut in oh 81
many ways, over the period, thu

at least the 1895 required.
