Bronson, Hopson Ask
 AEC Report Blast Plans To Northwestern Residents

JUNEAU, LR - An Alaska Sen ator from Barrow and another from Nome have joined in spon- sorship of a resolution asking the Atomic Energy Commission to make full disclosure of it's plans for a nuclear blast at Cape Thompson.
 Senators Eben Hopson of Bar row and Lester Bronson of Nome said the citizens of the area on Alaska's far northwestern coast have expressed a wish to be in- formed more thoroughly and added:
 "It would be a grievous breach of public faith and trust not to comply with the wishes of the people so deeply concerned"
 Specifically, the two legislators asked for information on "all the potential and possible effects of the proposed nuclear explosion at the Cape"
 The Village Council of Point Hope, the nearest community to the site of the proposed 1861 blast, last month opposed the plan and said it was opposed to any explosion at any time.

Parents Can Help Boost Child's Grades

Even if Pops science education did end when he learned how to wire a doorbell, educators agree that he still exerts a lot of in fluence on how his youngsters fare in school. And Mom may not be able to help in diagramming ionic and covalent compounds, but she still has big hand in her children's progress in school.
 The National Education Asso- citation has put in good word for Nom and Pop - and what they can do to help their offspring make the most of their school experience.
 Among the obvious ways, of course, are provision of quiet, secluded place for study, aiding with homework assignments, and offering encouragement by prais- ing the child's accomplishments
 But probably more important are the subtler, yet more pervas- i've influences of the home, which condition the atmosphere in which the child grows up. Dinner table conversation, for instance is not usually thought of as having any direct bearing on formal educa- tion, but it can be directed so as to stimulate the interest of the child, enriching the discoveries he is makino in school, or laying the ground work for school experi- ences yet to be encountered.
 Parents Can Help Boost
 With teenagers particularly, the educators urge that table talk should be guided into the realm of substantial ideas. Teenagers, they say, love "bull sessions" and learn much from them. Often, they point out, developments in current events have their roots in history and simply putting the days news into perspective as it is discussed around the dinner table can add measurably' to the child's knowledge of such subjects as history and geography.
 An atlas, globe, an almanac and a dictionary might be kept conveniently close to the televi- sion set so that they can be con- suited during news and documen- tary programs. And, of course there are many times when par ents can help the child most sim ply by turning of the television set. But when the reference ma terials are at hand they often in- vite checking on some controver- sial or doubtful point. This may not only clarify the matter imme- diately at issue, but may lead to further exploration of the sub ject, expanding the child's know ledge beyond what appeared in the program itself.
 This procedure also helps the
The Nome nugget., 1960-01-29

child to practice the scientific method in acquiring knowledge - the tracking down of observed and provable facts, leading per haps, to conclusions about other facts, which were not immediate ly apparent.
 The innate tendency of every child from six to sixteen to be a collector of something can be en- couraged. An orange crate or soap box in the young child's room can become treasure chest for stor- ing collections of rock specimens, shells, postage stamp, insects and the like. The collector naturally wants to become an 'expert" in the field of his collection, and is drawn irresistibly to acquire knowledge about it.
 The Younger Child
 For the younger children, games like Scrabble" Third of a Ghost" and even Dominoes and Bingo have their educational uses, although these are sometimes ex- aggerated. But the word games tend to increase vocabularies and improve spelling, and games like Dominoes and Bing are likely to improve facility with numbers.
 When a birthday or Christmas comes along, it might be well to consult the librarian, or teacher, about books which would make suitable presents. Or the choice might be a science kit, an ant farm, an easy-to-assemble radio set = something, in any event, from the almost infinite variety of truly educational toys, games and such that are available in the shops these days.
 The educators have a word of caution for those parents anxious to have their children get head start in school, who are tempted to teach them such things as read ing, writing and arithmetic before they actually start school. In most cases it is not good idea It can lead to Illustration of both parent and child, and seriously handicap the child in his school work

State Budget Most Adequate,' Ever
 Offered, Say Solons

JUNEAU, R - A proposed fiscal 1861 budget the Senate Fi- nance Committee chairman termed the most adequate ever sub mitted," received close scrutiny from the Legislature yesterday.
 The 3612 million dollar spend ing program proposed by Cover nor Egan for the fiscal year start ing July 1 would leave, according to the Chief Executives figures, a 312 -million-dollar surplus in the states general fund at the end of fiscal 1861.
 Added to general fund expen- ditures will be some 51a million dollars in federal transitional funds, which, along with the anti cipated surplus, brings the actual state budget to some 46 million dollars.
 On top of this, the state will handle more than 50 million dol lars additional in federal funds, for federally financed programs in the state.
 More than II million of Egan's 3612-million-dollar general fund budget is earmarked for educa- tion. Health and welfare costs will take some 5 million more and throughout the state will take more than 212 million more.
 Along with a budget described by some lawmakers as much lower than expected, Egan pro- posed two motor fuel tax increase bills, the only tax bills he said would be submitted by the Ad- ministration this session.
 One of the bills would boost the motor vehicle gas tax from five to seven cents a gallon. The other measure would raise the marine fuel tax from two to three cents gallon. The two bills, which would become effective April if approved by the Legislature, are designed to raise one million dollars year, Egan said.
 House Speaker Warren Taylor echoed the thoughts of most of the legislators when, after hear ing Egan's budget message, he said he was "agreeably surpriSed."
 Rep. Peter Kalamarides, House Majority Leader, offered con- gratulations on the proposed bud get, but was quick to say he felt the proposed budget could be trimmed.
 Sen. Robert Giersdorf of Fair banks, said he felt the Governor was conservative in estimating the return from existing revenue sources.

AS we get this picture Larry
was presSured, rather than
persuaded, by his fathers
fault. Some individuals want
to be pushed around rather
than to make their own de-
cisions and accept respon-
sibility for them.
Instead of concentrating
on his errors and accepting
his tendency to goof, Larry
could be far happier by COM
ing to terms with himself.
We must all sacrifice some
thing to get something else
we want more.
1t would help Larry to
make a list of all the argu-
ments for and against being
in his fathers business and
another of all the arguments
for and against his leaving
it and doing the other thing
he wants. He should weigh
one list against the other and

him, he says he can't imagine

thing like that.
He says he wants to help
me build up the business and
eventually I want to turn it

when he acts like that? I
wonder if he is trying to spite
me.
Larry FL don't know
why my father should think
I'm trying to be spiteful
when he knows as well as I
do that I gave up something
/ wanted to do very much in
order to go into business with
him.
I don't care very much for
business, but Dad persuaded
me. Besides, I felt sorry for
him because he is getting on
in years and can't keep
shouldering so much respon-
Sibility all by himself
I do my best and I think
Dad ought to be satisfied
with it. I'm just the type who
has to goof occasionally.
He'll just have to accept it.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
do you think of sleeping
pills? My doctor has pre-
scribed some for me to take
once in a while. I hesitate
because I think they are
dope" Sincerely, Mr.. T.,
Florida.
IF YOU HAVE confidence
in your doctor, better take
them as directed. They are
not dope" any more than
aspirin is dope.
It is true that many people
take too many on their own.
That's when they may get
into trouble. But I have
never seen a sleeping pill ad-
dict who didn't decide to be
his own doctor.
Most pharmacists will re-
fuse to sell you such pills
without a prescription. Any
good medicine can be poten-
TALLY harmful. That even
holds true for some vita
Minis.
I recall many patients like
yourself who hesitated to
take sleeping pills. But I
convinced them, like I am
trying to convince you, that
there's no harm in using
them as a temporary crutch.
Quite often the difference
between early recovery from
an illness may depend upon
whether the patient is get
ting a good nights sleep.
Fatigue born of sleeplesS
nights will wear anybody
down.
Therefore, don't hesitate
to take them as prescribed
by your doctor. He knows
they may be harmful if
taken too long and in in
creasing doses. Perhaps all he
is trying to do is get you
over a temporary rough
spot.

Of arthritiS you have, any

You'd have to be a saint to be

take it with a smile-and

gouty arthritis continues to
suffer for month after month,
year after year, unnecessar-

tor. He thinks it's the ordi-
nary run of joint trouble.
Aspirin or other -'arthritis

yet colchicine and other spe-
cif1c medicines for gout hit
the bulls eye. The pain dis
