A long tenure of office usually speaks for itself Frank A. Degnan mayor of Unalakleet for Is years is an example. During this time, he has been the kind of man who wanted to do things for his people and his village. He has been a driv- ing, persistent man in going after things his village needed. Being the kind of a man he is, he usually got what he was after.
 In writing about his friend, Dale B. Friemering of Unalakleet wrote:
 T have become well acquainted with Frank Degnan, whom you know, in fact he is my best friend. Disregarding the friendship I feel, if one looks objectively at Franks life and the things he has accom- plished for both the village of Una lakleet and for natives in general should qualify him for the North Star Award.
 Largely through Degnan'e ener- getic efforts and persistence, the following services and facilities have become realities at Unalak- leet. During the last five years a Bureau of Indian Affairs Junior High School was established a new Native Store built, a new communi- ty building, and power was in- stalled by the Matanuska Electric Association.
 Again largely through Degnan's efforts, a modern dial telephone system was installed. When this facility was put into service, the Tundra Times was honored by be- ing the first to be called by Mayor Frank Degnan.
 Perhaps the most important facili. ties slated for construction in spring are the sewer and water systems. A floating fish cannery now comes annually.
 Degnan is a past member of the Territorial House of Representative G95D, a member of the State Boarc of Fish and Game, chairman O. the Northwestern Subcommittee of the Governors Economic Advis. ory Committee, president of the Unalakleet Valley Electric Coop Inc, and member of the Inupiat Paitot.
 And so to Frank A. Degnan whose energetic leadership betterec the lives of his people at Unalak. feet, and often under difficult con ditions, goes the tWenty-nintf North Star Award along with oul congratulations and sincere wishe: for serene holidays.

A Working Farm

For 100 years, the place has con-
tinued to be a working farm, Mrs.
Kelley points out, and until a few
years ago was q dairy farm. Now
grazing cattle occupy some Of the
acreage.
Although the name of the orig
inal owner or builder has never been
known TO the Kelleys, the first re-
corded ownership is dated 1923. At
that time, Charles Gassaway re-
ceived the house from hir brother,
Thomas. Owners following the Gas
saways we're the Hawkins family who
occupied the home for another few
decades before Mr.. Kelley bought 1t.

Carefully Matched Bricks

The central section Of the house
is the original, while two wings, add
ed much later, east and west, utilized
such carefully matching brick that
1t is difficult TO detect the old from
the new.
Entering the house from the
north, one finds an entry leading to
beautiful rooms with original wide
hard pine floors, original MANTLE
pieces, chair rails and molding.
Oriental rugs and unusual antiques,
many of them family heirlooms,
decorate the entrance hall, the sit
ting room, parlor, dining room and
another informal living room in the
west wing.
A sitting room TO the left Of the
entrance was the original dining

Visitors on the tour will come up
a long, tree-bordered drive to the
residence fronting north. The back,
Mrs. Kelley says, was once the front
of the old manor house, with many
terraced gardens leading down to
the south. From that side, it is To-
Gated about four miles from the old
Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal and the
Potomac River. On clear days, the
Kelleys can see the distant Virginia

"In 1862, Montana had yearly
average employment of 155,30O. In
1861 this figure was 10000 or an
increase of 10000 jobs. Yet the re-
port of the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission shows that from
1862 to 1862 government employees
in Montana increased from an aver
age of 27,9OO to $4,000 or total of
1890 employees. Therefore, the
only place in 10 years Montana gain
ed in employment for these 10000
jobs was in government employees
and even they could not stem the
tide. In transportation and utilities
during these 10 years of Republican
fiction we lost 1900 jobs, in mining
$500 jobs.

Fund are startling he emphasized.
