THE 6 BONDING PROPOSITIONS

I'm ADDITION TO VOTING for the President of the
Il United States for the first time Alaskans, the
voters Of this area have big responsibility in deciding
whether they want to bond the state and if So on
what measures.
If the voters vote favorably on all bonding pro-
positions they will be bonding the State of Alaska
for 80 and half million dollars plus several million
in interest for the next 20 to 80 years.
Propositions T. 5, and are definite needs and
clearly Defined namely, a gymnasium for the Unver-
sy of Alaska matching funds for hospital construc-
ton and funds for improving bush airfelds in the
state. There can be misunderstanding about these
issues involving education and health and transporta-
ton help to remote
Proposition 3 is also an educational need more
vital than realized by people of other parts of the
state This calls for vocational school north of the
Yukon that the young peope of the far north may
have the educational opportunities offered in
other parts of the state. At present the alert young
people who want education in skis mechanically and
otherwise must be transplanted by relocation to
other parts of the United States If the youth drained
out of Northwestern Aaska being done at present
the economic result will continue to be disastrous to
development here. Proposition would mean
tiona school in Nome which is the center of the area
so that all the people of the might have educa
tiona privileges now possible only to few and with
out broken home ties at an age when young people
need their family life too.
Proposition 2 is the most controversial bonding
issue the ballot not only involves the most
money namely SZ5,OOO,UUO, but Is not very clearly
defined
According to our legislators of the last session,
SIS million is slated for the Southeastern Alaska
ferry So million for the Homer : Kodiak part time
ferry and SIS million for road work eastwest"
road meant told, for a connecting road from
Nome to Fairbanks Anchorage. This part of the
issue is the stumbling block at present the legisa-

Candidates throughout the state have obligation
ito the voters to express their opinions how this
road money is to be spent and where before election
otherwise the people may not accept it. Some of the

Bias in Election

George Washington Univer-
sity students have launched an
attack on religious prejudice
in the current political cam
paign.
A student council resolution,
to be sent to student organiza-
tions throughout the Nation,
declares that voting for a
presidential candidate because
he is a member of any partic-
ular religious faith, or voting
against him because he belongs
to any particular religious faith,
is a sinister betrayal of the
fundamental precept of Amer
ican democracy and constitutes
a Grass reputation of the
American ideal"
The council will urge other

The Secret Service, a di-

for its exploits in warning on

knows little, however, about
its colorful and often dan

when the service ranged far

ton. D. C. His novel lacks the
professional skill of Miss Nc
Gers, but it is a serious and.
convincing story of a young
priest with intellectual pre-
tensions who finds his true
ministry in the slums.
Father Rohrbach shows
how, between revulsion and
outrage, the priest hammers
out a protest against the dope
peddlers who prey on the boys
in the neighborhood. He also
learns something about the
code of the slums and the
dificulty Of loving your neigh
bors. The slum scenes are
written without sentimental
ity. All the characters are
well drawn except for the
priests doll-like sister and.
poorish brother-in-law.

OURSELVES ALONE! B

OURSELVES ALONE! BY
Padraic Colum. Grown
Publishers; So
During the dark days of
the strife between England
and Ireland, q critic bitterly
denounced Arthur Grifiith,
the founder of the Sim Fein
Party as q moderate" In
Q climate Of rebellion, this
was a damning epithet.
But his biographer, Padraic
Colum, in ourselves Alone"
traces Mr.. Grifhth's struggle
against crushing obstacles to
establish o stable constitu-
tional government for Ire
land. Before his death, he
had seen many Of his objec-
tives fulfilled.
Greater Nationalism
In his 20s, Mr.. Grifith
was publisher Of an almost
insolvent weekly paper which
called for greater Irish ma
tionalism. He urged wider
use of Gaelic. more famili-
arity with Irish history, and
support of Irish literature,
plays and music. He became
the publicist for the intel
lectuals.
But as the father of the
Sim Fein movement, the
printer defined q policy on
which the independence cam
paign could be based. AS his
reputation grew, the British
suppressed his paper.
But the Easter Rebellion in
1915, of which Mr.. Griffith
had not even been advised,
plunged the country into
warfare. Many Irish leaders
were executed, and Grfffith
was resigned to this fate
when arrested. But after a
term in notorious Reading
Goal, he was freed.
Explosive Rebellion
The Black and Tans and
the Auxiliaries were COM
mitted to action. and the
countryside was rocked with
explosions and SCARED with
burned buildings. Griffith
was arrested again and held
in Mountjoy Prison for six
months.
Such is the capricious tide
Of rebellion. the frugal print
er suddenly found himself
in 10 Downing street, bar
gaining across the table with
David Lloyd George, Winston
Churchill and other British
ministers. The Sim Fein had

In Nonfiction

There was more general ap-
proval Of the nonfiction
award. DR.. Gilman, who is
professor Of English at
Northwestern University,
worked seven years on his
portrait in depth of James
Joyce. It probably will stand,
at least for many years, as
the deflnitive biography Of
the controversial Irish author.
Mr.. Gilman not only wove to-
gether in fascinating prose
all the known details-and
many hitherto unknown-of
the man who wrote Ulysses"
and "Finnegans Wake" but
accounted for his peculiari-
ties and appraised his
writing. The nonflction jury
called the book "a vital and
monumentally complete BIZ
ography Of one Of the most
significant writers Of the
goth century"

and Michael Collins took
home a treaty giving a status
similar to Canada's, they
were shocked at the reaction.

severe test for the new gov

The strain was too much

days later, Collins, minister
for finance and an able
leader, was slain in ambush.
But on the foundation they
had laid, William Thomas
Cosgrave successfully COM
pleted the setting up Of the
new government.
Although Mr.. Colum was
well acquainted with Mr..
Grifnth, and the circum-

has refrained from over
dramatizing the story. Rather
he has helped to clarity q

In an age when vaccination
Is taken for granted. it's
hard to recall that in the
Napoleonic period, England
sneered at the concept Of q
country doctor. Edward Jen-
ner, that q disease Of cows
could make humans safe
from smallpox. In those days,
the English who could af-
ford it chose to be inocu-
lated. Unfortunately. while
the inoculated suffered only
a mild form Of the disease in
gaining immunity they be-
came carriers Of smallpox in
its virulent and oft-fatal
form.
It is against this back
ground that DR.. Jenner's
struggle for recognition Of
his life-saving vaccine is
dramatized. Pitted against
him is the head Of London's
smallpox hospital. DR.. VIII
liam Woodville, who had de-
voted his life to the inocu-
lation theory Of combating

ures dominating this novel
are neither of the two doc

Poetry Prize

AS IOr Mr. LOWe1S poetry
prize, there is always, un-
fortunately, less interest in
who receives this award than
in the other two. The lam
entable lack of interest in
modern poetry is reflected
in the few volumes of poetry
which publishers risk each
year. But Mr.. Lowell, q mem
Der Of the famous Boston
family, has published three
previous books Of poetry. He
is highly regarded by those
who follow contemporary
verse and received the Pull
itzer Prize in 1947 for Lord
Weary's Castle"
His LIFE STUDIES, which
won the current book award,
contains a number of new
poems, preceded by an auto
biographical fragment in
prose. Mr.. Lowell feels that
the prose excerpt helps to ex-
plain the poems.
He has held various fell
lowshipS in poetry and In
1947-48 was consultant in
poetry at the Library Of
Congress.

q serious consideration Of the
difficult doctrine Of the
prodigal son versus the son
who never strayed, Of the
faithful worker and the l1th-
hour arrival, and the JOY that
is in heaven over the re-
pentance Of one sinner. It
Is also a low-voiced homily on
the need for extravagance In
love for God and man.
Visited Holy Land
Miss McGerr has done her
research carefully and visited
the Holy Land for atmos-
phere. But her scholarliness
is never weighty and the pic
ture Of tight-lipped bustling
Martha and pretty, exuberant
Mary is very contemporary.
Martha is an example of the
evil a good" woman can do.
Fussy, industrious, self-right-
eous, she pushes her sister
into marriage with the jew
ish scholar who was her own
betrothed. The marriage is
a disaster, but Martha, one Of
those who can never leave
well enough alone, hinders
the divorce, reveals the
scholars impotence and gen.
orally in the name Of doing
good precipitates new emo
tional wreckage.
The turn comes with the
arrival Of Jesus, whom Mary
worships and whom Martha
serves. All leads to the mo-
ment Of the famous reproach.
Martha, Martha, thou art
anxious and troubled about
many things; and yet only
one thing is needful. Mary
has chosen the best part. and
it will not be taken away
from her."
A Brilliant Study
Miss McGerr's style is per-
haps not equal to such an
overwhelming event as the
resurrection of Lazarus, but
in all other particulars her
novel must be counted a sue
cess. Her portrait Of Mary,
who reproaches herself al
most unduly considering her
marriage with a Roman SOL
dier, does not match that OF
