ARC Program 10 Assist Civil Engineer Students

A program to assist Alaska high school students to obtain a college education in civil engineering was announced last week by A. F. GhigIione, commissioner of roads for Alaska.
 The Student Engineer In Training Program, inaugurated this year by the Alaska Road Commission, is designed to pro- vide regular summer employment through the students college years. The program provides for periodic promotions and assures, because of the experience which supplements his academic train Ing, a position upon graduation, at a higher grade than usually offered graduate engineers.
 The plan is available to Alaska students who are high school seni- ors or college freshmen enrolled in Civil Engineering courses. Ap- plicants will be selected annual ly on the basis of scholastic standing, recommendations of school faculty, and local refer ences. No written examination will be required. Those students will receive permanent appoint ments as Engineering Aides, and will enter on duty with the Alas ka Road Commission immediately upon graduation from high school. They will be assigned to field survey party or field engineering office where they will enjoy prac- tical experience in their chosen profession. When the college term begins in the fall, the trainers will be placed on furlough for the school years and will retain their permanent appointments. At the close of the school year they again will enter on active duty with the Alaska Road Commis- sion.
 Under the Student Engineer In Training Program, the trainee will receive periodic promotions if his on-the-job performance is satisfactory. He will also bene- fit by the variety of experience,

including survey work in both location and construction pro- jects, inspection of construction materials and contractors work manship He will gain experience in office engineering, including computations and preparation of engineering reports and records. Thus, the plan offers an oppor- tunity for the engineering stu dert to earn during the summer months a substantial portion of his college expenses, and at the same time receive excellent ex- perience in highway engineer ing
 The Alaska Road Commission is adopting this program in order to establish a source of trained engineering personnel who are per- manent residents of Alaska with a sincere interest in the develop ment of the Territory. The Stu dent Engineer 1n-Traln1ng Prog ram is designed to encourage in- creased enrolment in engineer ing courses by Alaska high school graduates. Many young men who otherwise might find it impos- sible to attend college because of insufficient funds can obtaien an engineering education by partic- ipation in this plan," says Ghig- Hone.
 Students interested in obtain ing further information are advis- ed to contact w. C. Sharples, Per- sonnel Officer, Room BOA, Federal Building, Juneau, for details and application forms.

Dear Editor:
 Many of your subscribers might be interested in the following:
 Teachers Salary Increment What is it? Let's take a second look at Alaska Education Asso- citations House Bill No. 92 re- garding teachers salary incre- ment. You may have read or heard about this bill. It is a good one. The Palmer Education Asso- citation with it's 38 members has endorsed it. The 1,039 nmebers of the Alaska Education Association have given it their support. The Superintendents' Advisory Coun cil, Association of Alaska School Boards, and the Territorial Board Of Education are promoting this conservative increment bill.
 Why? It offers future to teach CTS in Alaska. The starting salary in Alaska compares favorabiy with that in the States but with "a Bachelors degree the peak is now reached with only an eight hundred dollar raise regardless of how long one might teach At present a teacher who would want to earn his Masters degree would take years leave with out income and if he were care ful could put himself through the year in college for about $2,OOO. For his effort and expense he would receive under the present scale $120 more the first year with an additional $100 year in crease for the next four years. Not much incentive is 1t,

POSTPONED DINNER TO BE HELD AFTER EASTER

Due to indictment weather the Lutheran Ladies Aid postponed their annual ham dinner which was to be held on Thursday, February IT. The dinner will now be held sometime after Easter, although no definite date has been set.
 Those who are holding tickets may get their money refunded from the person who sold the tick ct, it was announced this week.
 In making the announcement, members of the Lutheran Aid ex- tended their thanks to those who bought tickets and to those who had intended to attend the dinner, for their support.

teachers with a Bachelors degree and three years experience. Too often the peak of the territorial scale is quoted. Only a few teach CTS ever receive the peak so this is not true picture.
 Under the proposed law the great majority of teachers would receive about $4,890 or about $4O5 per month. If a teacher with a Bachelors degree in Third Divi- sion would continue to teach for eight years his salary would be $6,220 or $518.33 month. Not too much is it: From this he must save enough to advance his train ing (required in Palmer every five years).
 Members of Palmer Education Association sincerely believe in creased increment would lessen the number of tourist teachers and increase the number of years a teacher would spend Tn our classrooms. Our boys and girls deserve teachers interested in each individual child. Alaska's s youth must develop leadership and skills. Teachers remaining in your schools a greater number of years will help. Increment Bill No. g will give a future to your teachers.
 Write to your legislators. Let them know you approve the bill.
 Sincerely yoursy

Clobemaster With 2 Engines Dead
 Safely Completes Pacific Crossing

14<A4AAL1 O1N A4At OIeOG DT1Ao1<y Calif., R-For four tense, long hours last night Capt. Theodore Roosevelt held his mind and nerves ready to ditch a Globe master and 76 men in the fog-cov- cred Pacific.
 But the ordeal ended in a safe landing here with the big military transports two starboard engines dead. Two right hand tires blew out in the landing but Pilot Roose- welt, of Elyria, Ohio, held the plane straight on the runway.
 When it was all over, Roosevelt, a seventh cousin of both Teddy and Franklin D. Roosevelt, quiet ly told reporters: Everybody was extremely calm.
 T was pretty sure we'd have to ditch. Those paratroopers felt, I guess, they could cope with whatever came up."
 The Globemaster carried 79 men of the 187th Regimental Com bat Team (airborne) and it's crew of eight. It was on a Hickam Field, Hawaii, to California flight in the Operation Gyroscope trans fer of the 187th from Japan to Fort Bragg, NC.
 "We were about 10 minutes past the point of equal time (point of no return) when the first engine vent" said It. Richard E. David son, Alliance, Ohio, assistant nav igator.
 An hour later the second star board engine failed. Roosevelt and End It. Harry Simpson, Akron, Ohio, co-pilot, were able to feath- CT both propellors.
 The homebound paratroopers had to throw overheard all their gear and souvenirs collected over as many as five years in Japan. They landed with just the fatigue uniforms they wore and their rifles.
 The jettison operation ordered by Roosevelt took 1000 pounds of load out of the plane.
 Twelve planes, Grumman Alba tross amphibians, escorted the crippled Globemaster for the last 300 miles. Another plane was ready to drop rafts.
 Most of the 187th men aboard acknowledged they had been plenty scared"
 Charles Brockman, specialist 3/C, told a reported: That pilot, he was real cool, man He was the greatest"
