Census 'sElectrOnic Brain OverlOoks
 Small Communities

An alert reader of the Nugget recently inquired why the popu- lation of Savoonga was not in- cluded in the census statistics made available last month. The Nugget in turn sent a query to Rep. Ralph Rivers who immedi- ately went to work on the omis- sion and reports that the inquiry started chain reaction and dis closed many interesting facts. We quote from his letter:
 "As we know, Alaska is unique in many ways, and even the Gen. sus Bureau finds it's usual methods not suitable to the 49th State. Normally each census taker enu- merates 800 to 1000 persons liv- ing in a comparatively small area. Approximately 400 enumerators took the census in Alaska, mostly recruited from among school teachers whose names were se- cured from the Office of Educa- ton of the United States Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. Each enumerator con- tacted between 500 and 600 people in Alaska, and was to indicate the limit of village so that the population of each community could be tabulated. Since many of these places are unincorporated and have no legal limit, the emu merator in many instances did not recognize the same limits for the community as do the local resi- dents.
 Most of the tabulation of the census is done by "electronic brains, however, the figures for Alaska were hand tabulated, and human error resulted. Also, Alas ka is the only state where the Census Bureau lists unincorporat- ed communities of less than 1000 inhabitants, and the Bureau has arbitrarily decided to list unin- corporated villages in Alaska of 25 or more persons.
 "Now to your specific question about Savoonga. AS result of your interest I asked the Census Bureau to recheck it's figures, and the books in the field office were examined. They disclosed the fol- lowing population figures for CavOOpCa

NOME SHRINE CLUB WILL HOLD DINNER DANCE

The recently activated Nome Shrine Club have announced dinner dance for April IS, for members and invited guests. The party is to be held at the Sea- view Room.
The Nome nugget., 1961-03-13

"I thought you might also like to know that the Census Bureau, which is justly proud of it's record of accuracy and thoroughness, ad- vised me that it will again check all the figures for Alaska and either issue an erata sheet to the report on Alaska's population, or, if there are too many errors, re- print the entire report. If there is additional information forth coming, I will be glad to forward it to you"
 Since sending the query to Rep. Rivers, Koyuk has called atten- to the fact that they were not listed and as there were over 30 voters there in the last election and the BIA school has 32 stu dents enrolled, this too will be called to the attention of the Census Bureau.

1T ISN'T difficult to drive through
Il King william, Va, without realiz-
ing it. The Court House, oldest in
continuous use in the Commonwealth,
sits just off the main road, and bit
farther along a group of sprawling
buildings on both sides of the high
way house the Taylor Motor Co.
If you should stop there, you
would find that the business is run
by an attractive young woman, Miss
Gloria Taylor, and that her assistant
is another attractive young woman
who can show you more about driving
an automobile than you can imagine.
She is Miss Patricia-"Pat" for
short-Jones. And if you should want
to learn how to turn your car over
and stay alive, just ask her.
Pat, who looks like girl scarcely
. out of her teens, was race driver
and daredevil Hell" driver in her
younger" days. Now she is economy
minded, and likes to show customers
how to get the most out of their cars.
This emphasis on economy comes
from Pats two years experience as
an economy-run driver. She drove
the trial runs for the Dodge Motor
Co., and both times she averaged
227 miles per gallon of gasoline
Pat says she doesn't find many
people these days who are too inter
ested in economy. They want power,
instead.
You can't have both power and .
economy" she points out, although
it is possible to have either with any
stock automobile. 1t is matter of
tuning"

IF you get your car tuned up to
give you the maximum number of
miles to the gallon of gasoline, then
you just can't have those cowboy
starts and power surges.
But you'll have power enough.
And who wants those wheelspin-
ming starts, anyway"
Pat just naturally likes to drive
automobiles. She became interested
in stock-car racing, she recalls,
before her mother knew about it.
That was in Kansas City, her home
town.
And from racing. the logical
step was to trick driving. She joined
the Jack Kochman Helldrivers thrill
and-safety show, where her job was
to roll cars over, bring them up
right again and continue around the
track
There's a trick to it," she ex-
plains. Il never got hurt, but the first
time rolled a car, I got headache.
You start the roll by running one side
Of the car onto small ramp, and
you've got to judge your speed to per
fection, else you make more rolls
than you intend"
Then Pat got the opportunity to
drive an 8-cylinder car in the annual
economy run.
I'VE practiced for two months
with the same model-but not the
same car-to be used in the run.
The practice car had a meter that
clicked every time one-tenth of a
gallon of gasoline went through the
carburetor, so you could tell how you
were doing

EDUCATION FORUM
By BENJAMIN FINE

QUESTION: I'm sick and
tired Of hearing you and other
writer's cry about our under
paid teachers. Will NOR e
money give us better teachers?
Or will it attract people who
want to make money? Besides,
why the constant pitch for
teachers salaries? A teacher
goes to college four years and
gets a teaching certificate. It
takes a four-year apprenticeship
to be a housepainter, six years
to be a master plumber and al
most eight to be an electrician.
Why should the teachers be
privileged characters? I think
they are getting enough now.
Many aren't worth what they
are getting, as far as I can see,
by the Job they do in teaching
our kids how to read and write
intelligently. Let's stop crying
about our poor teachers.
They're getting what they're
worth. Am I right?
ANSWER: My, what a batch
Of questions all rolled into one
paragraph! I must disagree
with you. I don't think our
teachers are overpaid. They
now get an everage of 100 a
year, which is far below the
salaries paid to any Of the
major professions. You ask,
will higher salaries give us bet
ter teachers? More money will
attract talented men and
women. in my opinion. Money
itself will not make an incom-
petent teacher any better. But
If we give teachers a decent
living wage, If we give them
the status that comes with &C.
onomic security in our coun-
try, we will make teaching a
more attractive profession.
You compare a teacher with
a housepainter. poumber and
electrician. These trades are
important in our society. But
so is teaching. A teacher deals
with young Children, with i'm
pressionable minds, with our
future voters. The teacher has
the opportunity to implant
values upon a child that will
last for a lifetime. I don't
think that teachers are priv

ileged, nor do they want any
special favors. The truth is,
we have underpaid them for
many years. Teaching should
be placed on a high livel, in
keeping with the tremendous
responsibility involved in this
profession.
I must repeat my previous
comments: Let's raise teach
ers' salaries, let's give our
teachers a better break. The
teacher shortage would soon
disappear If we did.

will not pay you until you have
had experience, and until you
are at least 18. You could get
a counselor-in-training Job,
but usually the camps ask that
you pay part of the camp fee.
Why don't you check in your
neighborhood to see If there
are any day camps nearby
where you might get a Job as
a waitress, or assistant to a
counselor. I have known 16-
year-old girls to do that, and
have an enjoyable summer in
the bargain. You could get
your working papers Of course,
and get a job as a summer re-
placement in a department
store or an office. But that
won't put you into a situation
where you'll be with young
children. Actually, a camp is
your best bet. Check with your
own high school guidance
counselor to see if he can ad-
wise you. He might have the
names of camps, both sleep
away and day camps, where
you could apply for an inter-
view. Good luck on your goal.
We need elementary teachers.
@. My junior high-school-
age boy likes animals so well
he would like to be a veteri-
marian. Some of my friends
tell me it is very difficult to
get into this field. Are there
any small colleges in this field
or is one compelled to go to
one of the large State uni
versities? Should we try to get
him to change his mind? What
books should he read to be a
veterinarian?
A. Don't discourage him.
BY the time he enters college
he may change his mind him
self. Or he may find that this
is the profession for him. Yes,
it is difficult to get into a
school of veterinary medicine.
You see, there are only 18 ac-
credited schools in the United
States, and they are located
on the campuSeS Of large
universities.
You can get the list of &C.
credited veterinary schools by
writing to the American Vet
erinary Medical Association,
900 South Michigan avenue,
Chicago S, Ill.
You ask about books to read.
At this stage in your boys de-
velopment, I wouldn't worry
too much about a diet Of books
on veterinary subjects. I imag-
inc your boy will gravitate to
the books he likes and they
may well be about animals,
doctors, science or farm lifeg
I would prefer that he develop
broad reading tastes, as pro-
fessional men today recognize
the importance of being we'll
rounded.
Remember. he has two more
years of high school ahead of
him, and four years of college
before he has to make his final
occupational decision. Person.
ally, I do not approve Of young
sters making too early deci-
sions. Their tastes may change
as they become more mature.
