Delinquent Youth
In Alaska To Be
Subject of Inquiry

WASHINGTON, "a Senate
subcommittee inquiry into juven-
lie delinquency in Alaska prob
ably will include hearings at An
chorage and Fairbanks as well as
Juneau.
Sen. Kefauver D-Tenm, sub
committee chairman, announced
last week hearings would be held
in the Alaska capital and at least
two other cities between Sept. Is
and Sept. %.
A subcommittee aide said today
no definite decision has been
reached as to what cities will be
visited. 1t was reliably reported,
however, the subcommittee now
expects to concentrate on the
three largest Alaska communities.
Sen. LANCER R-Ind, who will
preside at all sessions, probably
will be the only member in at
tendance. With the exception of
Sen. Wiley, aides said other mem
bers either are travelling abroad
or will have other hearing COM
mitments.
Kefauver said it is hoped the
hearings twill enable us to estab-
lish Alaska's most pressing needs
in the youth field, and to propose
proper remedial measures on a
federal level"

Possibility Grows for Year Round
Water and Sewerage Service Here
As Specialists Study Problems

The possibility of having year
round water and sewerage service
for the community has been given
serious consideration during the
past month as the Council and the
School Board have met with
members of the Department Of
Health and also with the engineer
of APW.
The informal meetings revealed
several interesting facts-mainly
that Nome can have running wat
er and sewerage.
Amos Alter, territorial santa
ton officer, stated clearly that it
is feasible both economically and
physically for the community to
provide water supply under pres
sure and sewerage service here,
for the school and most populated
areas Of Nome, with the cost for
the services being borne entirely
by revenues for service rendered
Alter stated that the amount
being paid by residents for their
monthly water and scavenger
would provide sufficient funds to
provide water and sewerage for
Nome, to be paid over a 2O-year
period.
The system recommended would
be that of constant circulating
water such as Fairbanks has used
successfully for the past two
years.
He recommended an engineer
ing consultant experienced in sub
arctic and arctic water supply to
make thorough survey on water
supply and place for sewerage
disposal and stated that sewer
and water lines may be kept sta
BILE even under the most difficult
soil conditions with special per-
mafrost anchorage technique"
and flexible long-joint type pipes
Costs Of the project will be
roughly estimated by the APW
engineer Monday evening.

Bert & Bill Beltz, Geo. Lilly, Maurice
Steffe Pool Efforts In Uranium Find

FAIRBANKS, R-Four men
pooled their resources and efforts
to come up with what they say
appears to be promising urani-
UNI prospect on the Seward Pen
Ursula.
II don't know what we've got
but we're hoping" George Lilly
said yesterday upon his return
from Denver, Colo, where he had
been in conference with officials
of a uranium corporation.
Lilly and Maurice Steffe, both
of Fairbanks, and Bert and Bill
Beltz of Nome are working on a
share and share alike basis.
Lilly is a former contractor;
Steffe, a warehouseman and for
mer Alaska Railroad worker; Bert
Beltz is a Nome pilot and wolf
hunter; and Bill Beltz is Second
Division senator and former bust
ness agent for the local carpen-
ter's union.
Lilly has had the uranium pros
pecting "bug" for some time.
'The other fellows had the bug
too so we put our 'shoestringS' to-
gether and went prospecting" he
said. eve made our first drill
holes with a portable diamond
drill rented from the Territorial
Department Of Mines and now
we're getting a bigger one that
will 60 1900 feet. It's due about
Sept. Is and we'll continue ex-
ploration as long as the weather
permits"
He said that since news of the
possible discovery had leaked out,
the men had been approached by
four corporations.
'We're going to turn it over to
reliable company for explora-
tion," Lilly told the News-Miner
eve haven't the money to do the
proper Investigations"
The four men covered many
square miles Of the Seward Pen
insula by air using Lilly's counter.
Bert Beltz did the flying. A
promising area would be marked,
a camp set up and ground pros
pecting along with drilling done.
This involved much walking and
back-packing.
They walked in 18 miles to the
discovery area where the first
samples were taken. Claims were
staked upon the better showings.
Originally from Michigan, Lilly
got into oil drilling and construc-
ton work. He came to Alaska
from Venezuela more than eight
years ago to work on the Navy oil
exploration project at Barrow. He
later went into mechanical con-
tracing in Alaska.

Commemorative What?

Many Of our holidays lose their significance,
and one of the better examples is Memorial Day.
It was first observed May 80, 1869 to honor
the dead of Union forces in the Civil War AS re-
sult May 80 is not holiday in Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi South Carolina and West Virginia. In
Florida the day honors veterans of all wars, as 1t
is likely supposed to in Montana. In Virginia May
30 is Confederate Memorial Day.
There are few people who visit cemeteries
and place flowers and wreaths, but otherwise Col
umbia Falls along with most Montana communities
seems to look at this day as the time for spring
picnic weather permitting.
In Columbia Falls, George Harker counted six
American flags on display for the holiday. Two
were on one grocery store. The city halls flag
made one of its rare appearances, but then stayed
at half staff all day instead of being raised at noon.
This matter of attention to the national
colors and observance of Memorial Day is logical
project for the local veterans organization. Mr.

The MSu DRY Up

1t will be interesting to watch attempts of DR..
Carl Mcfarland, Montana State university presi-
dent to dry up the MSU campus.
Our thought is that MSU is actually somewhat
less of country club university than most coll
leges of it's size the land. This premise is
based on the idea that most MSU students come
from farms, ranches and small towns and the OBJ
jectve of higher education for them is more pro-
fession and less a pleasant social time.
In any event DR.. Mcfarland May "a announced
'sbeer and liquor drinking the campus must be
cleaned up Anti-drnking rules are to be imposed.
No liquor will be allowed consumed for any oc-
casion university premises or in privately owned
buildings approved residences for university
students.
Obviously the story made banner headlines in
many daily newspapers.
We are not familiar enough with the particular
situation at MSU to judge DR.. McFarland's ap-
preach, which incidentally has been criticized by
Gary Jystad of the Flathead student council presi-
dent, dictatorial.
Looking at the whole situation we wonder if
DR.. McFarlands vigorous attack will not tighten
up a situation that apparently has gone somewhat
out Of bounds.
There are number of conflicts in our society
involving youth and liquor.
High school picnics, often not, see the ap-
pearance of beer Why this attraction for beer
by the 16 to 18 year-olds don't know.
In college, the whirl of social life sees healthy
and attractive Is to % year-olds especially in fra
ternities and sororities enjoying well appointed
mansion-like atmosphere that virtually all Of then
never knew at home, and after they receive the1
degrees, will seldom again.
Into this pattern apparently there has thu
cocktail hour before dinner dances, something tina
DR.. Mcfarland would prohibit
We agree with DR.. Mcfarland that state uni
versty should become more selective, and discour-
age attendance by young people who do not come
primarily for education.
He states his case WE'LL "We will no longer neet
to plead with students to study their lessons, be
have after hours, and attend classes. Unless we d
some such thing-restrict attendance to those VIII
want an education-we will have to erect NOR
buildings cram more students into each class, Civ
lectures over loudspeakers, employ students t
teach students, and that sort of thing"
Exactly how the liquor problem at MSU wi
be handled, we don't know. The problem exists i
more or less degree at nearly every other school,
Many adults have given liquor place in tn
home and social life. That being the case what dit
ferent pattern do we expect of university student

Fund Drives

Boy Scouts of America, TB Christmas seals. There
also Easter seals for crippled children forget

creasngly that cancer is causing one in four
deaths
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
raises funds for research and for care OF those at

In contrast the American Cancer Society dona-
tions provide for research education but seldom
financial assistance to those afflicted and then
only in the event of INDECENT families.
We know of two instances in Columbia Falls
where families have asked the American Cancer
Society for financial help, and were turned down
AS a result we heard comment: "We aren't giving to
the cancer drive. Polio that's OK"
What these good people are not keeping in mind
is that the Flathead with its 900 people this year
can expect perhaps three four cases OF polio In
contrast the valley has death week from cancer

Stevensville, former Columbia
Falls resident, Monday about 10
am. put plastic flower wreath
on the grave of her husband, the
late Ellis Potter, who passed away
May 10, 1858.
About $50 pm. Monday, the
wreath was gone. It had been NOV
ed to another grave across the
cemetery.
The most embarrassed folks we
know of in Columbia Falls were
relatives of the deceased's grave
where the plastic wreath was
found.
This is q good example Of hear
