Unity

Boosting in the early days the
third Oldest post office in the
country, Unity was created by act
of the Assembly before 1906 but
the first house, built by Elisha R.
Gather, was not erected until
1911. The village was part of
200 acre tract surveyed as early
as 1924 by John Philburn.
Early in 1913 Garrett Gather
opened the first business estab-
lishment. Hugh Anderson kept
the first hotel. A DR.. Anderson
was the towns first resident
physician. Known to friends as
a learned man" Edward Bell
took up duties as the pioneer
teacher for Unity. The first
shoemaker of the district was
Danile Grant. Sunshine subse-
quently became the post office
for the village of Unity.

The territory now embraced in
Montgomery County certainly
was coded from pillar to post in
the early days! Until 1748 a
part of Prince Georges County,
the land was then segregated as
a portion of Frederick County.
1t was not until September 6,
1776, that Montgomery County
came into existence.
Naturally the FIRST settlers
were Indians! Piscataways and
some Tuscaroras. Meanwhile,
white pioneer who had come to
the New World aboard the
ARK" and Dove" for some
reason tired of peninsula life and
pushed inland. They were sub
sequently joined by settlers of
Scotch stock. And as the popula-
ton increased, the first towns
sprung up.

Military Men Train in
WildBife Conservation

Approximately 80 conservation
officers and agents from the vari-
GUS military installations in the
territory began attending tn e
fourth annual military conservat-
ton officers course at the Univer-
sity of Alaska.
The Cooperative Wildlife Re
search Unit on campus is offering
the week-long course under direc-
ton of DIR. John L. Buckley. AS
sisting are the university's Wild
life and biological sciences depart
ments the U. S, Fish and Wildlife
Service and the Alaska Depart
ment of Fisheries.
DR.. Buckley said the detectives
of the course are to demonstrate
the Importance of wildlife conser-
walton in Alaska and to prevent
all violations of game laws which
occur due to ignorance but to in
crease the use of wildlife for rec
reational purposes by the military.
'The military is the largest
group of licensed hunters and fish
ermen with which we can work in
the territory" DR.. Buckley explain
ed. 1--WE would like to extend this
training to any other organizations
that use these resources.
DR.. Buckley said military per-
sonnet purchase a quarter of all
hunting and fishing licenses sold
in Alaska.
"The military commanders are
aware of the great importance of
wildlife to the territory" DR.. Buck
ley said. "The leaders are making
every effort to see that each of
their men stationed in the terri
tory is informed of his response
bilties in wildlife conservations.
Subjects which are being cover
ed at the conference include the
biological basis of wildlife manage
ment, factors involved in the sta
tuS of wildlife in Alaska, wiIdlife
as natural resource of land,
nd handling of game and proven
ton of waste.

$50O,00O Pledge
Alaska College

Methodist churches across the
United States have pledged $522,-
$40 to the proposed Alaska Metho-
dist College and the total for the
college in cash and pledges on
hand is $1,476,5
Those figures were compiled at
the first report meeting of the
district superintendent and other
episcopal area representatives in
the Alaska college campaign, held
December in Chicago. Repre-
Sentatives of 33 OF Methodism's 81
episcopal areas attended, meeting
jointly with the Alaska Methodist
College committee of the Division
of National Missions, the Board of
the Methodist Church.
The $522, 549included pledges ac-
copied by churches as special gifts
and by individuals who have pledg-
ed $500 as honorary alumni"
The $1,476, $40 also included $715,-
600 pledged by Anchorage resi-.
dents last March and $239,000 Civ
en- by Methodists since 1948 but
not as part of the current drive.
In addition, reports from area
representatives indicated that sew
eral areas have set long-range
goals totalling an additional $685.
GOO, for which pledges are yet to
be sought. That brings the amount
for the college in cash and pledges
on hand and in long-range goals
to $780, $40.
DR.. H. L. Johns of Philadelphia,
director of the college campaign
in the states, said the 1922, $40
was preliminary and incomplete
figure" since there were no re-
ports from five episcopal areas
and since representatives of others
said solicitation was not yet under
way.
