 The following men are in the pro- cess of completing their establish ments and there is growing in- terest as to what color they will decide to put on them.
 Allen Rock is to paint his new lodge and coffee shop soon. Mark Kinneaveak has a small new house and is, as yet unpainted. John ku- banyis new house by Dan Lis bourne's is also not painted.
 Joe Frankson and Raymond Frankson are thinking about start ing business and may move into a building that was once used as the Pt. Hope Lodge. The white paint on it is old and pealing. It is not known whether they plan to paint it if they move or what color 1t will be.
 The outlook at Point Hope is as bright as the rainbow.

Assn on American Indian Aus Starts Native Business Credit Fund
Fund to Help Natives Start Small Businesses

In an effort to stimulate village economic development, the Asso- citation on American Indian Affairs has established an Alaska Native Business Credit Fund to help na- lives finance small businesses.
 The fund will advance short-term credit or guarantee commercial loans not in excess of $2,000 for any one individual or enterprise It was started with an initial deposit of $3,000 of which $1 500 to $1,7OO was earmarked for Mrs. Katherine Pe- ter, of Ft. Yukon, to expand her bakery business.
 Howard Rock. editor of the Tun- dra Times, has been named admin istrator of the fund to be handled through the Alaska State Bank in Fairbanks. He will work with the informal assistance of the Bureau of Indian Affairs projects development officers.
 The fund has been designed so as to be simple to administer and especially adapted to the particular needs and aptitudes of the villagers
 It will be of necessity high-risk venture if, viewed strictly as a credit operation. The A.AI.A. hopes that what is learned from this exper- fence will be helpful in formulating recommendation to the BIA and to commercial sources of credit in Alaska.
 The fund was established with the realization that most native vil- 1ages are greatly dependent on a subsistence economy.
 Cash income from all sources is extremely limited. Primary sources are wage work, trapping, craftwork, and public assistance. In the village of Fort Yukon, with an Indian pop ulation of 700, only 12 persons have

 life agents stationed in Alaska - subordinate officials - who took 1t upon themselves to arrest EskimoS in 1861, when this had never been done during the 45 years that the Migratory Bird Treaty had been in l effect. But the correction for what I consider their mistaken zeal lies with the Secretary of the Interior. l You also say:
 And Senator Ernest Gruening of Alaska has pressed the U. S. Com. missioner of Fish and Wildlife to make the same assurance to Alaska Eskimos and Indians"
 It is not correct that I pressed the US Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife to take the same action that the Canadians had done, but I have repeatedly pressed the Secre. tary of the Interior to do so. The Secretary of the Interior has the ultimate and final authority on these matters, and he is the one for whatever action is taken or not taken by the depart. ment of the Interior and it's sub- ordinate agency, the Fish and Wild life Service. |.

Steady, yeaf-afOund employment.
 In the village of Minto, with an Indian population of 200, only one person, the manager of the Native Store has year-around employment; only five have summer work away from the village. Two disabled men received public assistance. A few of the women make birch-bark baskets in their spare time.
 The Indian trappers trade furs for credit at the Native Store. Since the Minto Native Store absorbs most of the cash in the village, it's gross annual sales of $1O-13 ,O00 offer a rough index of the total cash economy.
 While there is an increasing flow of cash in villages and villagers are eager to create businesses, native finds it almost impossible to accum- mulate enough capital to make the initial capital investment and lacks the collateral and credit rating to secure commercial loan.
 While the federal government has accepted as it's responsibility broad credit program designed to encour- age native economic development, this program does not operate ef- Actively in Alaska. The BIA Credit Officer in Juneau states that no loans are made to individuals in Alaska and in any case its formal requirements for eligibility.
 "If the native villagers of Alaska are to continue making a relatively smooth transition to a substantially cash economy, they must be able to engage in appropriate business said William Byler, executive di- rector of the A.AIA.
 "Unless a workable credit pro- gram is established to meet their needs, these business opportunities will go unrealized or pass by de- fault to non natives and lead to in- creasing economic dependency. The flight of cash from the villages will go unchecked"
 Although the Alaska Native Busi- ness Credit Fund has been started with 5000 from the Laverne Madi- gan Memorial Fund, it is planned that additional moneys will be so- licited from private donors and foundations to raise the fund to $10,000 by the end of the first year of operation, or enough to finance eight to twelve projects annually.

Ft. Yukon Woman To Expand Her Bakery Business


 Where there's will, there's way"
 This quotation is particularly ap- plicable to an enterprising 45-year- old AthabaScan woman, Mrs. Kath- erine Peter of Ft Yukon. For soon Mrs. Peter will get the chance to expand small bakery business she started year ago in her home.
 Her opportunity will come about as a result of loan of approxi- mately $1,700 from the Alaska State Bank in Fairbanks, guaranteed by funds in the recently established Alaska Native Business Credit Fund of the Association of American h. dian Affairs.
 Each day for the past year Mrs. Peter has been baking two patches or 24 loaves of bread, 100 cupcakes. 50 cinnamon rolls, and about pies. Although she lacks adequate equip ment and she buys her supplies in small quantities, she has been able to sell her products in competition with bread air-freighted from Fair banks.
 With her forthcoming loan, Mrs. Peter will be able to buy supplies in bulk and equipment making it easier and cheaper to turn out bak- cry products She wants to expand production by making at least 30 loaves of bread per day. 200 cup cakes, 100 cinnamon rolls, and 20 pies.
 Mrs. Peter has since childhood been interested in cooking and bak- ing. Her parents died when she was small and she was reared by Ezias Loola. chief of Ft. Yukon, and his wife. She has been employed, as hospital waitress, as cook at a church rectory and restaurant, and has been employed in private homes.
 "One day a little over a year ago I thought to myself, why shouldn't stay home and start a business rather than leave the children un- attended" Mrs. Peter told Tundra Times.
 "The word went around fast and people started coming to my home to buy bread These people told others. Soon there were lot of peo- pie coming regularly
 Mrs. Peters operates on strictly cash basis. Each loaf of bread costs 56 cents, 55 cents for the bread and penny tax. In addition to making her products by hand, she does her own bookkeeping and is praised by officials by always turning her tax reports in promptly.
 With her loan, Mrs. Peter will be able to buy years supply of sta- pies at greatly reduced prices, small hotel model stove with 36- inch oven, propane, plastic bags, etc Later, she hopes to purchase 25- ID. electric mixer.
 Assisting Mrs. Peter in her busi- ness are a daughter and a sister Mrs. Louise Peter. Mrs. Peters 13- year-old son, Walter, is her delivery boy.
 The Tundra Times will avidly fol- low the progress of Mrs. Peters Ft. Yukon bakery.

A band Of cancer victims
is in Washington today to
plead with the Government
not to shut off the supply of
q drug which they believe is
keeping them alive.
The drug is Krebiozen,
whose use in treating cancer
has been the center of heated
medical controversy for
years.
The Food and Drug Admin
istration may ban production
Of Krebiozen after June Z,
under tightened regulations
which grew out Of last years
discovery Of Gripping side

mide.
Mrs. Laine Friedman Of

lied the trip to Washington
Of so or so cancer victims,
said group members ARE
convinced they would not
have been alive to make the
trip If it were not tor Kre-
biozen."
Mrs. Friedman said her hus-
band George, whom doctors
gave one month to live in
June, 1861. is back working
six hours a day. thanks to
Krebiozen.
His cancer Of the liver and
abdomen sis certainly not
cured, but it's controlled to
the extent that he can live a
fairly normal life as q civil
engineer" she said.
Other victims have similar
stories. she added, which
they want to tell their Con-
gressmen and Government
officials.

Misinfolnation

COMETIME ago the Wall Street
Journal ran long editorial on
economics teaching in our schools in
which it made this telling observation
Something is terribly amiss when the
words for free enterprise are nearly
always apologize :. it's nice system
when we can afford its inefficiencies
-. and the words for all sorts of state
planning are praiseworthy. For the sum
of such teaching is that the best inter-
ests of the students, and of the nation,
are best served when the decisions can
be made by wise planners on high
This caused the Virginia, Minnesota,
Mesabi Daily News to say: polls and
surveys Of the views of students have
shown d staggering degree of misin-
formation and misconception about the
economic facts of life. Our Washing
ton politicians, who pay lip service to
the private enterprise system which has
built the nation and diffused well-be-
ing to the many, but in practice and in
legislation harass and hamstring legiti-
mate business, had better change their
tactics.'
Few things could do more to serve
the Communist cause than this apollo
getlc, deneanlng attitude toward the
American system. 1t is no secret that
communist leaders hopefully expect
that this system will collapse from
within, thus obvlatlng the necessity Of
attempting to destroy it through war.
IL the new generations are taught, and
believe, that state planning and deci-
SION are the proper cures to all pro-
b)ems, and nothing is done to show that
this IS a sure road to the destruction
of individual freedom, we must agree
with khrushchev. For then, as he said
Communism ultimately will bury US :.
and, probably, with the utmost ease.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1963-02-15

Gus Hall, avowed Communist, was in
vited to speak at the University of Vir-
ginia, and did speak to faculty and
students without mishap. Yet Cam
bridge, Mass, the home of liberal
teaching Harvard University, embar-
raises the governor of Mississippi
Where is the tolerance for which the
Yankees are self-noted?
Even Chief Justice Earl Warren
spoke at Georgia Techs stadium on
Abraham Lincoln's birthday without
mishap. What if signs "Impeach
Warren, did pop out in Atlanta in
profusion? That was an expression Of
the individuals or the ,public's right
Of free expression. The proposal to i'm
peach a public officer, (appointed for
life not elected) is perfectly legal
procedure under the Constitution
There is no threat of violence or bodily
harm toward the individual but an
orderly, method of removing one from
office, provided his unfitness can be
proven and sustained.
The series of far-removed Incidents
give evidence of growing disaffection
and much misunderstanding of people
in geographic regions of the United
States. Prejudiced as we may be, we
would observe that the South is as toler-
ant, If not more so, than those who
point their fingers of scorn and organ
lze provocative 'invasionS' from the
North.
Tolerance is needed. A better under
standing is impera tive. Both challenge
the nations mass media.

South Holds Balance

tons. four are equally divided
between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. These represent Colorado,
Illinois, Minnesota and Montana
and there is no way to de
termine, at this time, VIII ch
way these four would vote.
In any event, at present there
are % delegations nonlinally
Democratic. But II of these rep
resent Southern states. A N d
while all II of these states may
not renomce kennedy at the
November election, give their
delegations the chance to elect
a person sympathetic to tn e
problems of the South, and most
of them will. They wouldn't dare
to otherwise-and go home.
In short, then, there are only
II states, today, which can be
counted as certain to vote for
Kennedy if the election reaches
The House in 1854. These are,
Alaska, Arizona, California, Con-
necticut. Delaware, wall
Idaho. Maryland, Massachusetts
Missouri, Nevada. New Mexico.
Oklahoma. Oregon. Rhode IS
land, Texas and West Virginia.
And that is giving Kennedy the
best of it, ceding Oklahoma,
Texas and Barry GoldWaters
state, Arizona.
| So, as things stand, the Re-
publcans are eight votes short
of election by the House of Rep
resentatives, and the Kennedy"
4 forces are in the range of nine
votes short. Split the four states
whose delegations are on bal
I ance-g1Ve two to each-a II d
each still would be far short of
the needed without The
South.
For whom would the SCOUT h
vote to resolve the dilemma?
Well since it would have a
candidate of its own, it would
vote for its own man, and being
wise in the ways of politics, The
South would have brought in
candidate attractive to the Re-
publicans.
Who would he be?
1t isn't necessary to answer
| that question at this point. The
important thing to understand.
now, is that if the Souh threw
the election into the House it
would be in position to get the
kind of national policies it wants
from Congress and the admin
| stration.

when even members Of Congress cannot
be guaranteed safety of their persons,
we have a condition little short of SOC
ial chaos. When this happens at the
seat of the national government it is
all the more shocking. What pity, too.
that when our Government is so intent
upon presenting to the world good
image of America it cannot assure a
citizen Of protection from physical VIC
lence in its own capital city.
