 In addition to serving the people of the northern part of this district adequately it will strengthen the bond between the peoples of this district who are scattered widely helping to unfy them in plans for future developments along the coastal areas to work together for better roads, stronger deenses, well as educational and health improvements for the coast people.
 The Miners and Merchants Bank is to be con- graduated for its vision and esteemed for its faith in the future growth of Northwestern Alaska.

U. s. Stands Up to Soviet Threats

WASHINGTON, R The United States told the Soviet Union Tuesday tha this country and it's allies will not be deflected by Soviet threats, from arming with ballisic missiles or taking any other joint defense measures.
 In note to Moscow, the United States also accused the Soviet Union of making wholly un- founded charges" that West Ger many has aggressive military aims.
 The note released by the State Department rejected Soviet pro- test of three weeks ago against any U. s. action to supply this countrys European allies, partic- ularly West Germany. with me dium-range ballistic missiles such as the Polaris.
 World tensions, the United States declared, are the result of threats uttered and steps taken by the Soviet government.
 "The repeated threats of the Soviet government to take uni lateral action with respect to Germany and to deprive the people of Berlin of their freedom stand in contrast to the construc- tive policies pursued by the freely elected government of the Federal Republic CWest Germany)," the U. $. note said.
