Gated as the Y.W.C.A.
For a number of 1712 years
our city has had a Y.W.C.A.
serving the community. Many
of us take it for granted. We
think of it as a place where
women and girls can find de-
cent housing, perhaps a good
cafeteria, friends, clubs, clas-
Ses.
1t is more than these that
make the Y.W.C.A. a place
where one can belong -
more than a sewing class,
ceramic, music or hat class
or bridge games. 1t is it's
faith in and concern for people
which make the Y.W.C.A.
what it is.

Baptistry Completed at Bible Baptist Church

After nearly two weeks of build ing and assembly, the Bible Baptist Church has the first permanent immersion baptistry in Nome. The baptistry is unique in more than one way. First, in the method of baptism to be used, which is im- mersion. This is, of course, the individual to be baptized being completely immersed in water.
 This practice is observed today in baptism, by many Bible teach ing churches of various other de- nominations, besides the Baptist Churches, states, Rev. Bob Leight.
 The baptistry is unusual for Nome, because of its size and the volume of water it will hold. The baptistry is seven feet long, by four feet long and four feet deep. It will hold about 500 gallons of water. Two other Baptist Churches had a part in the building of the baptistry. The Excelsior Drive Baptist Church of Norwalk, Calif., had the huge rubberized canvas liner specially made and mailed it over a year ago to Nome, for the project. The Bible Baptist Church of Anchorage, where Rev. Don White is pastor, (Who conducted the city-Wide revival meeting here at the school last December, had the three-quarter-inch ply wood casing built with 2x4 bracing and connected with four-inch gal vanized bolts. This casing came collapsed via Alaska Airlines, weighing over 300 pounds. Mrs Paul Clark, the former Miss Bar bara Stark, first grade Nome School teacher, three years ago spoke to Rev. Doyle Morris, pastor of the Excelsior Drive Church in California, upon her return there concerning the need of the bap- tistry in the church at Nome.
 Rev. Leight is very grateful for the help and assistance of the two other churches who have made the project of the immersion baptistry a reality, for the Bible Baptist Church of Nome. Rev. Leight states that scriptural baptism is a most important step for every believer in Christ, and is thankful for the completion of the baptistry.
 The baptistry will be used for the first time during the evening service this coming Sunday night. Several are to be baptized at that time. The service begins at ? and interested people are most welcome to attend and witness the immer- son batizing.

Magazine Article On Alaska Draws Fire From Egan

Gov. William A. Egan has re- leased the following copy of tele- gram sent to the Saturday Evening Post in comment on an article ap- bearing in its Oct. 12, 1863, issue:
 Since the achievement of state. hood, the gross volume of business in Alaska has increased by 65 per cent, employment has risen con- siderably, exports have grown from $5,OO0,OOO to $25, 100000 annually and the population growth contin- ues to be one of the nations high est.
 In addition, for the first time Alaska's road, airport, school, boat harbor and other needs are being met. Teachers salaries have been increased twice; the University of Alaska has been given a tremen- dous facelifting. We have a men, tenn, a massive program to reha. bilitate and expand our fisheries.
 That certain important growth features relative to our expanding oil and gas production and explor- ati0n activities result from state hood will be attested by industry tai health program, a court sys-

 These advances have occurred despite sharply reduced military construction program now only one-third its pre-statehood level. Impartial federal studies show steadily shrinking margin of diff ference in the cost-of-living be- tween Alaska and its sister states.
 And during this entire period of transition, consolidation and un- precedented expansion - during the past five years - there has been but one round of tax increas- es. Revenue from those increases reflect an amount equal to ap- proximately 4 per cent of the state budget. The combined rate of state and local taxation for each $1,000 of individual income is lower in Alaska than in any other state.
 Increased state government em- ployment reflects the takeover by the state of many responsibilities which were previously functions of the federal government.
