Jack Hinckei Leaves
 To Attend Convention

Jack Hinckel, Constitutional Del egate form this district, plans to leave this weekend for Fairbanks, and will arrive in time for the opening of the Convention Novem- Der 8.
 ''None of the electors in this district have expressed any opin- ions to me of what they think should be incorporated in a State Constitution" Hinckel stated. T accept this as a vote of confidence in my judgement of the district and it's people"
 Hinckel further stated that he did not think it wise that he commit or align himself and the district with any faction at this time. There are several controversial aspects in the framing of a constitution, that have come to light since the cleo ton of delegates, and it was these that Hinckel had reference to. He also remarked: q beleive that l can serve the district best by keep ing an open mind and by accept ing the wealth of information that the advisory staff of consultants is making available before decis- ions, on controversial subjects
 Jack expects the convention will go the full time allotted to it, pri- mariIy because of the fact that there are so many delegates and each will have an opinion as to what should be incorporated into a constitution.
 Jack Hinckel is we'll known in this area as a fuel dealer and Un- ion Oil Company consignee. He has lived here in Kodiak for ten and half years continuously. He came to Alaska in 1922, as an en- gineer for a mining company He spent two years in the Copper Ri- yer valley for the company.
 Hinckel has been prominent in civic affairs for many years in this city. He served as Kodiak's mayor for one term in 1953-54. Previous to that he served on the City Coun- cil for seven years. He has been ac- tive in the Chamber of Commerce, past president of Rotary, and has been continuously active in the Elks and other civic functions and organizations.
 He concluded his remarks by saying. T will do the best that I can to represent you as truly as l can.'

 Opportunities for Alaska wihi be offered at the ConstitutiOnaaA Convention tO recognize the choiee of units of local self government, the League was told by John sDs Corcoran, field supervisor, Public. Administrative Service, Seattle "The question facing Alaska" " he: pointed out, lis not how the forma- ton of local units should take place in a procedural sense, but 1t is rather one of what kind or kinds of local units should be recOgniE- ed"
 Corcoran concluded his remarks by saying, By recognizing that all local legislative authority and all local executive and administrative functions can and should be vested in one unified local government, Alaskans will be reaching at one stride goal that local government reformers and specialists have been striving to attain in many states over period of several generations ''
