Survey Recommends Shifting
Alaska Native Service Schools
To Territorial Government

Tudor today announced approval
of survey teams report on de-
partment activities in Alaska -
including its proposal to shift all
Indian Bureau schools to the ter
ritorial government.
The team was appointed to de-
termine how the department
could improve administration of
its operations in Alaska. Tudor

The reorganization survey
group was headed by Roy B. Ear
ling of Seattle, a mining consult
ant.
The team considered but re-
jected the idea of recommending
appointment of an assistant secre-
tary for Alaska.
Instead, in a move to achieve
closer coordination of activities,
it recommended that the Alaska
Field Committee be reactivated
under the direction of a full-time
head. And it suggested considera-
ton of a central administration
service organization and a con-
solidated legal staff in the terri
tory under the supervision of the
departments solicitor.
The Alaska Field Committee
consists of the heads of the sew
eral departmental agencies in AL
aska and the governor in the past
served as chairman. The survey
team recommended that the head
of the new group not be a men,
Der of the governors staff.

ing to the Indian Bureau, general
ly known in Alaska as the Alaska
Native Service, included:

school buildings and equipment of
the ANS, including Mt. Edge
cumbe Institute and Wrangell
Boarding School, be turned over
to the Territorial Department of
Education as soon as plans can
be made and financial arrange
ments settled.
2. That the hospitals and re-
naming health services of the
ANS be turned over to the Pub
lie Health Service under legisla-
ton now pending in Congress or
under other applicable laws.
3. That direct welfare pay
ments of the ANS be discontinued
and its other welfare work turned
over to the Territorial Depart
ment of Welfare.
a. That thorough study be
made of the credit Qoan pro-
gram and detailed plan be pre-
pared for its reorganization and
future operation.
Recommend ARC Survey
1t also said a management and
cost survey of the Alaska Road
Commissions activities and op-
erations should be made by some
outside authority.
The team proposed that walrus
hunting be permitted by both
whites and natives subject to pro-
posed new regulations including
a $50 nonresident license fee and
an annual bag limit of two bull
walrus for non-residents and five
walruses for residents.

.TV ARTISTS IN
'54 VARIETIES
Smyrna Lions Club Variety
Show Again to Feature
Television Performers
THURSDAY, MARCH A

Since the time that television
was made available to the public it
has gained ever increasing, and al
most fanatical, acceptance. Nu-
merous groups and agencies have
had to combat its appeal by i'm
proving their own offering. The
public, or some portion thereof, in
variably benefits from this. Movies
meet the challange with BID; the
feminine members of our society
are learning to make more inteli-
gent use of their natural attributes,
and if that fails they study the in
tricacies of a ''fielders choice, a
right across" or "step over toe
hold; the church keeps itself be-
fore the public by putting its
teachers on T-V; and the Smyrna
Lions Club keeps up with the times
by bringing televisions performers
to you. 1t became obvious two
years ago that no matter how good
our local talent is it cannot success
fully compete with the magic
screen" at home, so for the varie-
ties of 1858 an all professional show
was arranged. The response was
tremendous. For the Varieties of
1854 the same type entertainment
will be given and knowing they
were assured of success the Lions
were able to go all out in getting
top notch talent. The singing NC.
and the comedy juggler of last
years show have achieved wide
spread public acclaim through T-V
since they were here last and the
Lions were lucky to be able to get
them again this year. In addition
there will be xylophone playing
lpuppeteer, a ventriloquist of re-
markable ability, a rustic type
comedianne and lady acrobat
who is not only shapely but talent
ed as well. Any one who makes it
a point to watch the Variety Shows
on T-V, such as TOAST OF THE
TOWN, have probably seen them
all at one time or another. How
ever, nothing beats seeing them in
Iperson and on March 4 they will
be here at the Smyrna High School
! Auditorium. The Varieties of 1854
promises to provide the finest ar
ray of entertainers ever brought
to Smyrna.
