The panel chairman, L.

which harm property or create
intolerable nuisances.

Gen. Kuhfeld reported thou

But the Government has not

every effort to give advance

to see this island get further ahead,
Therefore, if you were controlled
by one island, st. Croix definitely
would not get an additional air
line here.
/ find that the present set-up
that we have now satisfactory;
where the voter can vote for two

two for the district of st. Thomas,
one from st. John and 4 at large,
if they want, if they are sufficient
" strong. But at least that would
give them seven and control; that
is under the present Organic Act.
How yer, it would leave the con-
troll part with the peoples of the
islands who believe in the phil
osophy and the thinking of that
party. Because you probably will
find four from here, four from st.
Thomas and one from st. John if

you were going to have seven,
you would find two from here, 2
from st. Thomas, I from st. John

would give st. Croix at least three

Seattle Has to Hustle To Remain Supply
 Center for Alaska

SEATTLE M = An Alaska newspaper publisher says if Seat tie wants to remain the supply center for Alaska the city has to hustle.
 c. w. Snedden, publisher of the Fairbanks Daily News Miner, spoke at a meeting of the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Monday.
 Unless Seattle gets under way with something constructive" he said, 'sshe's going to find herself out of the surface transportation business to Alaska"
 'Snedden, a former president Of the Alaska Chamber of Con- merce, said estimates indicate cargo rates in less than carload quantities to the Alaska Rail belt" can be reduced more than half by railcar-barge service through Prince Rupert, B.C.
 O-0. Idi1 llilGS dIG GOilSluGIlliE similar service through Seattle, but Alaskans are reported dis satisfied with the current status on this program, Snedden said.
 He said Seattle has advantages that Prince Rupert cannot match, such as the ability to provide fre- quent service. He said Alaskans also would rather see their cargo moving through Seattle.
 On another matter, he compli- mented the Alaska Steamship Go. He said:
 "The Alaska Steamship Co. has been doing wonderful job for years, It has been serving many Alaska ports at a loss on year round basis. Then, in the sum- Imertime, the small barge lines move in and skim the cream of l the business
 | He suggested Interstate Com
 merce Commission regulations t, protect the carriers who giv. l year-round service to Alaska.

The preliminary Little League game between the North Stars and the Nome Druggists last night proved to be an exciting one.
 The regular game ended as tie, and two subequent overtime periods did not determine win ner. It was then decided to go into a sudden deathn game. The first team to score a goal would be declared winner. After much spirited play Harvey Miller sank free throw to give the win to the Druggists.

School Board Hears Committee Report On Ungraded Primary

At it's regular meeting last night the Nome School Board heard the report of a Curriculum Study Committee which has been con- ducted over the last two years. Miss Barbara Cooper, third grade teacher and committee chairman, presented the board with a writ ten summary of the study, elabor- ated on it's several points and answered questions. Title of the report was 'sThe Ungraded Pri- mary"
 Miss Cooper pointed out that the ungraded primary plan is not a method of teaching or depart ure from established procedures, but rather an administrative or ganizational plan. It is different however insofar as the rate of learning and the length of time spent in the various content areas. Demands made on child because he is a certain age or grade level are eliminated and are replaced with an individual program of ob- jectives.
 For the child who makes slow CT or faster progress than the average, the ungraded primary plan is definitely advanta geous. When a child appears to be a slow learner, it indicates that he may need four years in the Pri- mary School before he is ready for the fourth grade and so his program is stretched out" Ern- phasis is put on what the child can do and although it may take an extra year to complete the program they do 1t without frus- tration, humiliation, discourage ment and the loss of continuity which inevitably accompanies the failure of grade" in graded lprograln.
 Just as the slow learner i.
 benefited by the plan, so too i.
 the exceptionally mature and fas 5 learning child.
 The board and administration thas been concerned for som time about the high rate of re tention and retardation in the pri
 mary levels, which has brough
 about the consideration of thi
 system as a possible means o
 helping to alleviate the problem. l Members of the committe,
 were Barbara Cooper, Mary Jeal 1 Potter, Patty Brooks and Shell;
 OBrien. Elementary principa
 Mare Beauchamp served as ex officio member.

SherardQ Questioned In Highway Investigation
By Ward Sims
Associated Press Staff Writer

JUNEAU, Feb. fl, R -- Per- sonnel and fiscal control have been the great problems of the Alaska highway program, Thur man D. Sherard, former State road chief, said last night.
 Sherard was the first witness to take the stand as the special Senate Highways Investigating Committee started the second week of it's probe into Alaska's road program.
 A crowd of some 250-300 per- sons damned their way into the Superior Court room on the fifth floor of the Capitol Bldg. to hear Sherard's testimony.
 Committee Chairman R. J. Me- Nealy started the meeting by reading a lengthy letter from key personnel in the Highways Di- vision praising Sherard's admins tration of the road program.
 Sherard said the question up- permost in his mind before he ac- cepted the position as Alaska State Highways Director on Oct. g, 1859, was the question of political interference.
 sCommissioner Richard Down ing, of Public Works, assured me that partisan politics would not be involved, that he would shield me if partisan politics did come up."
 Sherard said he was informed when he took over as state road chief he would have until Nov l5, less than month, to prepare budget for complete highwa, program.
 Sherard said he was able t assemble a staff of qualified higr way engineers by the time th state assumed control of it's ow road program on July 1, l96 because, frankly, they came
 Alaska because Larry Wilson, ] Gardner and I were here.''
 Lawrence Wilson is Deput Commissioner of Public Work Gardner is Assistant State High way Engineer for Operations.
 The Division of Highways de veloped its own personnel system Sherard said, only to have tn legislature provide for a stat personnel system.
 There was general confusion in the state personnel program and it created dissatisfactioI among highway personnel. I no tlfied the people above me abou this program 20 or 30 times with out result"
 Sherard said fiscal control ha always been a major headache iI the state highway program. HI D r------------------

cited three instances in which monies were transferred from the highway construction revolving fund to other funds without his consent.
 T complained often, loud and long, in writing, about such trans actions" Sherard said.
 The former highways director said Alaska's top highways staff has years of experience which the road staff of no other state can match. He said the top 20 men in the division have a total of 4444 years experience.
 Alaska is doing more work per man per mile of road and dollar spent than any other Western state," Sherard said.
 The committee hearings will continue Thursday night, with Sherard again on the witness stand.

Jed, how can you even ask? Look
around you! You're eight miles from
the nearest neighbor. You're overrun
with SkunkS, poSSums, coyotes and
bobcats. You got kerosene lamps for
light, a wood stove to cook on winter
and summer.
You're drinkin' homemade moon
shine, washin with homemade lye
soap, and your bathroom is so feet
from the house.
And you ask should you novel"
Through all of this, Jed is paying
close attention, weighing the evidence.
So he admits:

Il thought the show had good

said, but | never dreamed it would
shoot up the way it did.
II don't know what it is. My whole
theory when came up with this thing
was that the time was ripe for pure
escape, something you could laugh at
and not have to think about your
mothers operation or World War III.
who knows why show goes? You
can work just as hard and have a
flop"
Ebsen, turning to the character of
Jed Clampett, commented:
This show is like corn likker; you
don't analyze it, you just settle back
and enjoy it."
Potential imitators-and Hollywood

the right time to assure its success.
