State Legislator
 Was Pioneer of .AutOmOtive Alaska

DETROIT m The pioneering spirit that helped add the 49th star to the American flag played an important role in furthering a u [ o m o tive transportation in Alaska.
 Now in his seventies, the real pioneer of automotive Alaska is a member of the states first Legis- lature - Robert E. Sheldon.
 As a youth of q, he, had never seen an automobile, yet Sheldon built Alaska's first gasoline en- zine automobile in 1905 from pie lures he had seen in newspapers and magazines. The inspiration to build the car was part of a con- centrated effort to divert the at tention of a Skagway lass from another suitor who owned a fancy horse drawn rig.
 Not stopping his automotive ca reer with the first Alaskan car. Sheldon felt the motor vehicle had a definite place in the territory's S transportation system.
 To prove it, he quit his job with a Fairbanks electrical com pany and blazed trail over a wagon path to Valdez, 37O miles away, in a new mass-produced American car So much enthusiasm was created over Sheldon's feat that two years later he formed a profitable automotive stage com pany between Fairbanks and Val dez which cut the horse and wa gon travel time by more than a third.
 The motorized stage route to Valdez has become Alaska's Route l, main part of Alaska's 2,000- mile primary road system. In ad- dition, the 49th State has a 3,200- mile secondary system that con- meets farms, mines and industrial areas with the primary network.
 Still in running condition, Shel- don's 1905 automobile has been retired to the University of Alas ka Museum. The state representa- tive recalls that he salvaged a De- troit-made engine from a sunken boat which eliminated one trans mission problem - since the en- zine would run in either direction he just reversed the engine to back-up.

GRASSROOTS OPINION From The Hartford, Wisconsin, Times-Press

Communism, in one century, has gained sway over more people than Christianity in twenty centuries! With Socialism, its younger brother in short pants, Communism is hopping up the world! Can stop it? Nobody else can and WE can only if we get own snowball rolling, pushed by dedicated men who believe in freedom have the integrity to stand up for it, the intelligence to recognize the enemy in it's dis guised forms and the moral faith by which alone freedom can survive.
 TN A FREE SOCIETY," the state does not admin ster the affairs of men It administers justice among men, who conduct their own affairs" - Walter Lippman.

Beebe Hospital Bldg.
Fund At $500. 900
Campaign Is Only 1870 Short OF
ss50,OOO Goal

Beebe Hospitals building fund
campaign has passed the 100000
mark but is about Is per cent
short of the s850.000 goal
This was announced today by
Benjamin F. Shaw, II, general
chairman of the campaign, who
stated that $709,O00 has been re-
ceived in contributions and pledges.
simultaneously, announcement
was made by DR.. James Beebe,
president of the hospital board of
directors, that special meeting of
the directors has been called for
Friday, October 16, to review final
architectural plans, prepared by
the firm of Whiteside, Moeckel ano
Carbonell, for the new nurses
residence and school
1.-The fact that the 1859 entering
class of student nurses was double
the size of the preceding class and
existing facilities are so inadequate
as to cause some students to be
boarded in private homes, makes
it imperative that construction of
the proposed nurses building be
undertaken as quickly as poss-
ible", DR.. Beebe declared.
Estimated cost for this build.
ing is $250.O00', he said, "and
with $709,000 contributed or pledg
ed to our building fund we are able
to invite construction bids and
award a contract for the new
nurses unit.
Although we now are some
$4,000 short of our total cam
paign goal of $850,000, / remain
confident that we will ultimately
achieve that mark. We must-and
we will-build new hospital wing
to provide our patients with i'm
proved facilities" DR.. Beebe stat
ed, "but approval of final 'archi-
tects' plans for that phase of the
hospitals development must await
the outcome of our continuing ef-
forts to obtain the funds requir-
ed"

Milford High Wins Second
Straight
The Milford High Bucs scored
their second straight shutout VIC
tory when they downed previously
unbeaten Aberdeen High School by
a 1910 score A good sized crowd
of Milford fans accompanied the
team and gave their support.
Neither team could mount a seri-
GUS offensive threat the first
quarter. Milford took possession
of the ball in the second quarter
on the Aberdeen 45-yard line fol-
lowing a poor kick and drove to
the 2G yard line on running plays
by Williams, Sullivan, Clayville
and Sharp. The drive was culmin-
ated by sensational catch by
Stan Huey of a Wayne Morris
aerial. An Aberdeen defender de-
flected the ball, but Huey playing
heads up football picked the pass
out of the air for touchdown. A
bad pass from center resulted in
keeping the score 60 which re-
manned unchanged for the remain
der of the first half
Milford took the second half
kickoff and put the ball in play
on the 20. On the first play from
scrimmage a Milford tumble was
recovered by Aberdeen. Aberdeen
drove to the 10 yard line for a
first down. Larry Sharp, by some
brilliant defensive play. threw an
Aberdeen ball carrier for a ten
yard loss.
On the next play, the Aberdeen
quarterback fumbled the ball.
Larry Sharp picked the elusive
pigskin out of the air and behind
eight blockers crossed the Milford
goal line 80 yards away untouched.
Late in the fourth quarter, a
Kitchens to Huey aerial put the
Bucs in position for Wayne Ham
mond to skirt his own right end
to complete the scoring for the
day.
The defensive play thus far has
been the key to. the two shut out
victories to date. The win over
Aberdeen is the first victory that
Milford has scored over their
Maryland rival in four games.
Outstanding on defense were
Larry Sharp, John Thorougood,
Wayne Hammond, John Benson,
Glenn Kitchens, Glen Kenton and
two promising sophomores, ]. c..
