Proposed Spending Called LoudobIe
1t Funds Are Spent in Right Way

There seems to be unani-
nous agreement in Govern
ment circles that the. only
way to solve the many and
varied troubles of both the
world and the Nation is by
use Of more and more money.
The way to settle the chaotic
political situations in Africa
Is to appropriate more funds
to teach the uncivilized to
be civilized. The way to
prevent Latin America from
falling completely into the
Communist orbit is to in
crease loans and grants to
those countries. II we are
to make the aged happy in
their retiring years, we must
give them tax-paid pensions.
And so 1t goes, ad infinitum.
But man does not live by
bread alone.
President-elect Kennedy
has given his wholehearted
and enthusiastic Endorsement
to the proposal Of a $780,
100000 appropriation fund
for our schools over the next
four years. This, it is con-
tended, will raise teachers
salaries, supply adequate
school buildings and first
class teaching equipment,
and provide every child with
a first class education. 1t
is a commendable thought
and purpose.
But will this proposed
large sum Of money guaran-
tee the proper education Of
Americas future citizens?
Will 1t produce patriotic,
God-fearing, dedicated men
and women to lead our Ma
tion some twenty years
hence?
There is prevalent in many
schools the theory that chill
dren should teach themselves
and in this manner learn to
think for themselves. Being
able to think for ones self
is highly desirable, provided
that first one is taught the
values which have been
proved over the centuries.
But in many schools
children actually are learn

that may seem. A physiology

as juvenile delinquents. But.
one must ask, how did this
happen? And the answer is
plain: They learned delin-
quency in school with no re-
striction or guidance from
their parents. The seeds Of
moral decadence thus are
planted in the fertile minds
Of youth.

troubled man. stepped into

operating chamber in a Mi

He stopped short. eyes riv-
eted on one of the scrub
nurses. busy preparing to as
sist in an operation. Grief
and an idea surged stimuli
taneously through his mind.
The scrub nurse was an old
friend, q distinguished spe-
cialist and surgeon from
Cuba. well known and highly
honored in American medi-
cal circles. The doctor had
fled Castro's communism as
patterned and sold by "Che"
Guevara, the evil spirit of
Guatemala and now of Cuba.
He was one Of the thousands
Of refugees in and about Mi
ami. Their daily companions
are hunger, despair and hope.
The idea which filled DR..
Jones' mind, as he watched
the famous surgeon patiently
scrubbing his hands, was one
which would enable educa-
ton to become an effective
instrument against the spread
Of communism. The old
friend. whose pride and cour-
age had made him avoid any
appeal to colleagues in Amer

DR.. Jones' idea soon was

had been able to escape from

All the talk about changing
the rules to stop filibusters in
the Senate, or to prevent
committees from bottling up
legislation in the House,
might appear on the surface
to be a part Of a very weighty
problem with deep-seated
= cleavages that reflect high
purposes in the public in
terest. But, actually, back OF
the whole thing is a good
deal of pressure-group poll
tics and the desire of MEM
bers of the Senate, for ex-
ample. to make it appear
back home. especially in the
more populous States in the
North. that they are battling
hard for civil rights.
The Senate has just voted
-as 1t has done again and
4, again in the past-to send
! the proposals for changing
the rules on filibustering back
to q committee for study.
This means that. when it
comes up at the end OF the
present session, the new idea
is to require only q go per
cent instead Of a 6625 per
cent vote to cut off debate.
Maybe there will be q COM
promise along these lines,
but it is doubtful.
The reason for all the furor
about changes in the filibus-
tering rules is that there Is an
artificial pressure to get more
civil rights legislation. The
theory is that only the South
erners are blocking it. But
there are Western Senators,
many of them Republicans.
who recognize the danger in
enacting legislation that takes
away from the States more
and more of their rights.
The Republican Party has
only IS members in the Sen
ate, and they were divided lS
to IS in the vote just taken
to send the new proposals
back to a committee for
study-just as were the DEM
ocrats. who voted 80 to 81 on
the same issue. So 1t isn't q
partisan matter.

rather hypocritical. tits made
to appear, for example, that
only the conservatives are in

rules that allow filibusters.
Actually, many Of the So

filibustering privilege far
more than their opponents.
They would probably be very
much distressed II unlimited

ample, can for all practical
purposes keep legislation from

License Required

A subsistence Fishing License or a Commercial License is re- quired to subsistence fish, accord ing to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
 This is stipulated in Chap. 94, of the ifs h in g regulations amended. Subsistence fishing in the same chapter is defined as fishing with gill nets, seine, fish who'll, or long line or other means defined by the Board. The Board has defined no other means. Therefore, it is only necessary to be licensed when using these four types of gear.
 It is not necessary to be licensed to use crab pots, shrimp pots, shovels or even gaff or spear. No vessel license is needed on any boat which only subsistence fishes, even if using the four types of gear mentioned.

The seasoned boat-owner will pay attention to the lights that give that warning, for they are on night and day on the shore of the small boat harbor. Custodian of the lights, Al Fenner, gives me this explanation of their meaning. No doubt you landlubbers have won dered what it meant when you would see a red and white light, which might change to two red lights or even two red and white.
 The explanation is simple and worthy to heed. They are simply storm warnings. A red on top and a white below means warning to small craft-winds up to B knots. A white on top, red below means a gale with winds from B to AT knots; two red lights mean gale with winds from AT to GA knots.
