VANCOUVER, B.C., tR - Hard pressed fire fighters Saturday looked to the skies over BIC. with hope that extensive rain would come at last to assist them in their fight against nearly 400 fires burning in the province.

Letter To The Editor

I would like to take this op- tunity of congratulating the Nome Nugget on it's Statehood editorial appearing in the issue of Friday, August l. Now indeed is the time to stand up and be counted, and I am pleased to be counted among those who are heartily in favor of Statehood. Rather than handicap, believe Statehood will benefit all the residents of Alaska whether native or not. I believe all of us should take advantage of this period to go to all reliable sources available and obtain all the in formation possible on these mat ters. I will be happy to try to answer questions for any of you with whom I come in contact, with reference to my views on Statehood and any of the prob lems it may bring.

The Alaska State' Constitution provision that 19 and 20-year-old Alaskans may vote applies to the August 26 primary election at which the statehood referendum will be decided
 There have been reports cir culated that 19 and 20-year-old citizens may not vote until after the primary election. This is not true.

 Every citizen of the United States who is at least 19 years of age, who meets registration re- ur'rements which may be pre- scribed by law, and who is qualified to vote under this article, may vote in any state or local election :"
 The Executive Order issued by Gov. Mike S+epovich authorizing the August 26 primary election and the November 25 general election states:
 Every person who is entitled to vote at the general election shall be entitled to participate in the primary election"
 Gov. Stepovich's Executive Or der further sets out the qualifi- cations for voting in the first state election:
 "All citizens of the United States, nineteen years of age and over, who are actual and bona fide residents of Alaska, and who have been such residents con- tinuously during the entire year immediately preceding the cleo ton, and who have been resi- dents continuously for thirty days next preceding the election in the precinct and District in which they vote, and who are able to read and write the Eng fish language and who are not barred from voting by any other provisions of law, shall be qualified to vote.''
 General voting qualifications for all Alaska State elections, in cluding the August 26 primary and November 25 general cleo tions, are:

A lot could be
said today about the
weather, safe sub
ject at any time, but
after all is said, who could do
anything about it? The days
have been so hot and the nights
so rainy, everyone has been
busy keeping the windows up
in the day time and down at
night The good thing about
it all is that the farming has
never looked better-the fields
are lush with crops-and the
green corn almost crack as it
grows. Rejecting back to last
summer when everything was
so dry and burned, the wea-
there is not bad at all.
This is a Red Letter Day as
far as newspapers go. 1t was
good to find a Philadelphia
paper On the front lawn this
morning and to know that the
trials of the past thirty-nine
days are over for the publish
ers and normalcv is once more
established. How very de-
pendent the public is on the
daily paperl So many aspects
of every day life stem from
what the papers bring to the
