and school population to support and operate local schools, should be required to do so by means of borough school districts or city school districts.
 However, we believe that the local areas of the state should be given a reasonable chance to vol untarily incorporate as boroughs under the present permissive borough act Accordingly, we rec ornmend that legislative action to form borough school districts be deferred until 1868.
 If after Jan. 1, 1863, there are any areas which should assume local school responsibility and which nave not done so, we rec ommend that legislative action be taken to incorporate such areas into second class borougf1s by July l, 1863.
 These second class boroughs would have the power to educate.
 
 to plan and zone, and to raise the taxes necessary to perform these functions. The boroughs would ex- ercise no other functions unless they should be assumed by a vote of the people within the borough. Since education would be the primary reason for the ex- istence of these boroughs, they would be called borough school districts"
 The statement said city school districts would permit expansion of cities for school purposes, par tictllarly in those instances where non-city school children are at tending city schools and there are some taxable properties outside of the cities which should become available for the support Of the city schools.
 The draft legislation recom- mends the establishment of 10 borough school districts. They would be the:
 Greater Anchorage Borourh School District. Fairbanks North Pole Borough School District, Haines-Port Chilkoot Borough School District, Homer -Ninilchik Borough School District, Greater Juneau Douglas Borough School District, Kenai-Soldotna-K Kasilof Borough School District, Greater Ketchikan Borough School Dis- trict, Greater Ketchikan Borough School District. Greater Kodiak Borough School District, Matanus- ka-Susitna Valley Borough School District, Greater SitlKa Borough School District.
 Designated as city school dis tricts are Cordova, Nenana, Nome, Petersburg, Seldovia. Seward, Skagway, Valdez and Wrangell.
 The remaining city and incor- porated school districts will be referred to the school system operated directly by the state, effective Jan. l. l9eS.

 JUNEAU M - The State Board of Education, in recent meeting here, gave tacit approval to a pair of proposed bills, which would have a sharp impact on Alaska's school system, as 1t now exists.
 The first piece of draft legis- lation provides for a reorganiza- ton of local school systems. The second piece of draft Legislation would revise the method whereby state funds are distributed to local school districts. It would estab- fish a public seheol foundation program.
 While both pieces of draft leg islation deal with schools, they are not companion bills. Each can stand alone.
 Both pieces of draft legislation were sent to all members of the Legislature and to school officials around the state, for study and comment.
 In a statement regarding the school reorganization bill draft, the State board of Education said: Those areas within the state. which have sufficient tax base

Why Me?''

WASHINGTON M - The Army is distributing to all National Guardsmen and reservists who have been called up pamphlet entitled ssWhy Me?"
 Amounting to a "white paper" to meet criticism and complaints about the service summons when no hot war exists, the 11-page pamphlet sums up the reasons and policies.
 It quotes from speeches and statements by President Kennedy and Secretary of the Army Elvis Stahr IT,, and discusses the questions it says are most free quently asked by men called to active service last October
 As a preamble, the Why Me?" pamphlet outlines the doctrine behind the decision.
 Increasingly hostile behavior by the Sino-Soviet bloc made it necessary to build up US. military strength immediately to demon strate determination to resist ag- gression; Soviet threats to liquid ate Allied rights in Berlin called for urgent development of com bat-ready forces for dispatch to Europe, if required; increasing tension elsewhere required de- velopment of strategic reserve forces to meet possible trouble at widely separated points"
 Then the pamphlet gets down to questions and answers.
 Has the Army been expanded just to meet the Berlin crisis?
 ssNo. Although world attenti.ss has been centered on Berlin for months, there are other major trouble spots and many more potential trouble spots. 2
 What has the call-up accom- plished?
 sIt has stimulated action by many Of our Allies to strengthen their military forces; 1t has de- monstrated to Communist lead CTS the determination to fight, if necessary; it has helped Berlin to stand intact; it has increased markedly the ability of the Unit ed States tc deter the Sino- Soviet bloc from using force to expand its territory and influence" Instead of calling up Army Ma tional Guardsmen and reserves, why not expand the active Army by bigger draft calls?
 The Army is being expanded by larger draft calls but draftees are untrained men and t will be months before they are trained, and once they are trained as in- dividuals siiii more time will be needed to weld them into fighting units. Raw recruits are no aT- swer to Communist aggression today. Trained reservists and Ma tional Guardsmen are."

 4 nd it came to pass in those days, that there kA went out decree from Caesar AugutlE that all the world should be taxed.
 2 (And this taxing was first made when CyrenilIS governor of Syria.
 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city
 And Joseph also went up from Galieesout of the city of Nazareth into Judaea unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem (becaase he was of the house and lineage of David:)
 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
 6 And So it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
 And she brought forth her first-born son. and wrapped him in sWaddling clothes, and laid him in manager; because there was no room for them in the inn.

III Is Now Easier
TO Retire Under
Social Security

Zone question we hear lot," says
Stewart j. Thomas, district manager
of the Helena social security office,
sis how much social security credit
is needed for people to qualify for
old-age or survivors benefits?"
In answer to that question Mr..
Thomas points out: 1.-THE Social Sc
curity Act was changed in 1860 and
the amount of work covered by the
program needed by workers now
reaching or past retirement age, or
who have died. is less than it was.
Under the old law, the worker needed
social security credit equal to one
year of work for each two years after
1850 and before he died or reached
retirement age"
The new law, however, specifies
that this worker now needs social
security credit equal to only one year
for each three years after 1850 and
up to the year he reaches retirement
age or dies. Under both the old and
the new laws, the social security
credit needed can be earned anytime
after 1936-no one needs credit for
itOl6 " yOeilo WOih, anu a iiih-
imum of year and a half of work
under social security is always re-
quired.
Because of the new law, many peo-
pie who have had their claims for
old-age or survivors benefits rejected
because of lack of sufficient work
credit, may now be eligible. For in
stance, all workers who reached re-
tirement age (65 for men, 81 for
women) before 1857 need credit for
only 1 IL years of work under social
security to be eligible Under the old
law, only people who reached retire
ment age before July 1854 could quail
fly with credit for only " years
of work.
Mr.. Thomas urged people who have
had an application for benefits turned
down, or who have failed to apply
or report because of insufficient So
cial security credit, to get in touch
again with the social security office.
They may now be eligible for bene-
fits.

1860 Directory On
Montana Mining
Is Now Available

The 1860 directory of known Mon
tana mining enterprises, an annual
publication of the Montana Bureau
of Mines and Geology, is now avail
able.
Known as Bulletin 20, the new di-
rectory contains a listing compiled
by Frank A. Crowley of 283 mining
properties in the state, and list of
active coal mines prepared by Thomas
Morgan, State Coal Inspector.
A section of the Mineral Industry
of Montana in 1860 was authored by
F. B. Fulkerson, G. A. Kingston, and
N. S. Peterson of the United States
Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Mines. This section summarizes
activities in the mining and petrol
cum industries in Montana.
Value of Montana's mineral pro-
duction in 1860 increased $17.1 mil
lion according to the U. S. Bureau
of Mines. Total mineral production
in 1860 was valued at $185 million
which is the third highest on record
exceeded only in 1856 and 1857.
Increased production was noted for
chromium, copper, gold, iron ore,
manganese, silver, fluorspar, gypsum,
lime, mica, phosphate rock, and py-
rite, whereas production of barite,
cement, sand and gravel, stone, and
tale declined.
Bulletin 20 can be obtained free
of charge by writing to, or calling
