Alaska March of Dimes

B. Frank Heintzleman, former
governor of Alaska and a lead
ing figure in Alaska's progress
and development, will lead Alas
ka State volunteers in the New
March of Dimes next January.
The appointment to head the
March of Dimes campaign against

National Foundation. Governor
Heintzleman succeeds DR.. Ernest
N. Patty, former president of the
University of Alaska, to this i'm
portant volunteer post.
In accepting the appointment
Gov. Heintzleman said, 'sThe New
March of Dimes next January
will emphasize the need for great
er public understanding of the
problems of birth defects, arth-
ritis and residual polio. Few of us
realize how many Americans are
affected. One out of every 16
babies is born with significant
birth defect and at least II mil
lion Americans have arthritis or
rheumatism.
"The prevention of birth de-
fects and arthritis are the new
goals that have been added to the
March of Dimes continuing fight
against Gripping diseases and the
March of Dimes is on its way to
solving these problems with the
same skills that were brought to
bear against polio" he concluded.

In so doing, the judges leveled
the barrier of interposition = a

airy injunctions to keep Gov. Jim

state official from interfering.

Tour Industry
Leaders Present
Promotion Plan

JUNEAU, Up = A stormy con-
ference on Alaska'S tourist in
dustry broke up at noon today
after leaders in the field pre-
sented the state with a plan for
the tourist program for the bal
ance of fiscal 1861.
The program is multi-faceted
plan including recommendations
for industry promotion, general
advertising, consumer promotion,
small resorts and promotion.
The program was mapped out
by. some 1920 leaders of the tour
ist industry in Alaska before Lee
A. Johnson, state Director of
Tourism and Economic Develop
ment.
Among major recommendations
were the following:
That the state establish a pro-
gram of invitational tours for
travel writer's The tours would
be designed to fit the needs of
the individual writer taking part.
That delegates to the Western
Regional Meeting of the American
Society of Travel Agents at Har-
rison Hot Springs, BIC, April 30
May 2 be invited to tour Alaska
following the convention.
That the state Division of Tour
ism promote an Alaska Week
throughout the country in early
May, and that the tourist in
dustry have its own Alaska Week
in February or March for adver-
Using purposes.
That Alaska adopt a tourist
program similar to that of the
Hawaii Visitors Assn, based on
IL months of operation each year,
not just aimed at the summer
tourist season.
That semi-disposable displays
be prepared by the Division with
the aid of the tourist industry for
use by airline offices and travel
agents around the country.
That complete guide of re-
sorts in Alaska be prepared, list
ing what facilities each has and
what activities are available to
the visitor at each resort.
That the efforts of the Divi-
sion's news bureau be directed to
placing items of interest about
Alaska in news media outside of
Alaska, rather than aiming at the
Alaskan reader.
That schools of hospitality be
conducted for persons whose
work takes them in direct con-
tact with tourists.
One tourist executive, Charles
B. West of Seattle, said the legis-
lature should be asked to approve
a minimum appropriation of
$250,000 for tourism in fiscal 1862
The meeting ended on a peace
full note. Angry statements made
yesterday were forgotten, at least
on the surface, as the tourist eX-
ecutives worked on their recon-
mendatiOnS.

ed at all schools, the schedules will

pated that classes will be offered
in English, social studies, mathe-

Broke All Records,
State Development
Discusses In Report.

Delaware's 1859 per capita in
come of $2,946 was the highest in
the nation reports the Delaware
State Development Department.
Residents of the First State
also had, during 1859, the largest
"disposable monochrome after
taxes-of residents of any of the
so states. According to the state
information agency, this amount
to $2,516 per person last year as
compared to a rational average OF
$1,907.
Basing its findings on the results
of a survey made by the u. S. De-
partment of Commerce. the Devel-
opment Department advises that
personal income in Delaware last
year reached $1,314, ,000, ,000-or al
most one and one-third billion dol
lars.
Delaware's 1859 per capita in.
come was approximately twenty.
five per cent greater than the nat
ional average of $2,146.
Last year, Delaware regained the
top spot, income-wise, from Con
necticut, which led the Nation IL
1858. The revised standings show
Connecticut second with $2,817 pei
capita; Nevada third with $2,745;
New York fourth with, $2,736; ant
California fifth with $2,661.
Despite high wage rates, Alaska
