carrying 6,SO3 persons passed through Tok Junction.
 This month traffic is showing the usual August decline, but an average of 200 travellers a day are still entering Alaska via the high way through Canada. The figures this year are the highest since the Tok Junction customs and immi- grafton station was established with the opening of the highway.
 Silas M. Packard, immigration service officer who has been sta tioned at Tok Junction since l947, said that this year most of the tra- velers are tourists in contrast to past years when construction work CTS predominated.
 Packard said that this year each tourist entering Alaska is being given letter of greeting from the Governor, a lapel pin and Alaska visitor bumper stickers for the au- tomobile. The welcoming kit was provided by the Alaska Visitors As sociation.
 Virtually all tourists demand two stickers, one to display in Al aska and a fresh one to put on the car when they return back home in the states. They want everybody to know they've been to Alaska, '" he said.
 Packard said the most common remark he has heard from tourists who arrive over the highway goes something like this: Live been wanting to make this trip for years"
 He said Alaska suffers in com parison with Canada because of the absence of highway camping areas.
 Most of the tourists have camp ing gear. They cant afford to spend every night in a lodge. They remark on the absence of free composites which are spaced all a long the highway in Canada"

WHY GROW OLD?
New Angles to Ideas
Can Prove INTERESTING

someone throws q bombshell
at you in conversation and
don't be too concerned about
the New Look" Chances are
the bonn bshell has been
dropped before and no doubt
"the New Look" Is not In the
strictest sense new.
On the other hand it seems
a mistake to ride this idea too
far because new angles and
names can be quite exciting
and a change In style can add
interest to life.
I suppose that it is true that
there is nothing new under the
sun because human nature al
ways has been pretty much
the same. It always has had
the same basic problems and
desires. despairs and aspira-
tons.
1t does not matter whether
or not things have been said
before or thought before or
worn before so long as they
are new to US. The main thing
is not to get set In the vice of
thinking. feeling. doing and
wearing the same things year
after year.
I think variety is a key word
In a happy life. Variety and
a change give the mind and
heart q workout. The closed
mind and the dusty heart are
the things to dread.

of duty beyond the present
two-year period. she said.
I'VE haven't assured people
even a bed when they get
there" she said. They spend
the first six months literally
looking for a place to live,
then the last six months of
the second year packing UP
to go home"
I'm every country / went to

eminent asked me, Why
don't your people stay longer?"
she said.
Private United States firms
handle their personnel much
more intelligently, the Con-
gresswoman believes. "They
send them out for 10 months.
give them three months home
leave, then send them back
for a second 10 months"
Understanding
Every Westerner who goes to
Africa, including the tourists,
should have a more UNDER
standing knowledge of the
tribal life Of the people," Mrs.
Bolton declared.
Mrs. Bolton said she thinks
it important that the United
States go ahead with its plan
to provide funds toward
Egypt's Aswan dam, without
strings attached" even though
she personally would have
liked to see a different kind
Of engineering done"
II think the Nasser govern
ment Is the best they have had
in Egypt. ] think he knows he
stands or falls on the Aswan
dam. II we want Russia in
Egypt we will give Egypt terms
on the dam that they cannot
accept. If we don't want them
there, we will give the Egyp-
lions terms they can accept.
That is my very considered
opinion.
Reminded by a reporter
that some Southern Congress-
men oppose using United
States funds for the Aswan
dam because the dam may in
crease Egyptian cotton pro-
duction in competition with
United States cotton, the
Ohioan observed:
IF we are going to take the
course Of not doing those
things which mean life to
other countries, with the full
knowledge that what we don't
do others will. we will have to
face the results, It is not just
q question Of pampering our
selves for today, but Of our
grandchildren tomorrow"

Birthday Party
The protocol chief says he's
past the age of being specific
about birthdays and he simply
referred to this as his "xth"
birthday.
Actually. his birthday was
January 3. but the Simmonses
attended the Women's Ma
tionaI Press Club dinner for
Congress that night, and so
delayed the celebration q day.
But it was complete with cake
and candles. a gift from the
Blake CiarkeS.
Mr.. Simmons no sooner said
goodby to the last guest than
he had to depart last night for
Florida where he greeted
Brazil's President-elect Kubit-
schek who called on President
Eisenhower at Key West be-
fore coming on to Washington.
But before leaving, he took

vast continent, Representative
Frances Bolton said yesterday.
Conversely, said the Ohio

mile tour Of "a African coun-
tries as a representative of the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. Africa offers the

wisely.
The United States must
lower the price Of the goods it
offers for sale If 1t hopes to
compete successfully with
communism in Africa, the
Congressional asserted.
1.-THE West makes better

the plain truth is our prices
are too high"

But she intends to investigate

Since 1884 the island has been used by
the public for sporting events. That year
a balloon ascension took place there, and

Some time later, groups Of young men,
