Public School Foundation Act Would Increase
 State Aid to Nome
By Ward Sims Associated Press Staff Writer

~0-''
 JUNEAU R - A comprehensive study of the Public School Founda- tion Act of 1862, coupled with a four-mill required local tax effort proposed this year, was handed to the legislature today
 The study, made by the Depart ment of Education, showed that under the most reasonable projec- ton, 12 of the 31 school districts would be required to pick up more of their own school costs than they do now.
 Included in this classification are the Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau Douglas, Ketchikan, Hoonah, An goon, Craig, Hydaburg, Klawock, Pelican, Seldovia and Skagway Dis tricts.
 In addition, the Bristol Bay Bor- ough School District, which will be beginning operations next school year, will have to ante up more than presently anticipated under the old state formula.
 The School Foundation Act pro- vides for two essential points as means for providing an adequate level of education for all children, regardless of where they go to school.
 The first point is the basic need, what funds a district requires to furnish it's students an adequate education.
 The basic need consists of three things:
 | l. The amount of money derived by multiplying the average pay of teachers in the district by the allowable number of teachers in the district.
 2. The amount of money derived from an average daily student membership allotment of $40 in Southeast Alaska, $15O in South central Alaska and $16O in Central I and Northwestern Alaska 3. The amount of money derived from an attendance center allot- ment of $1,000. An attendance center is defined as distinct ad- ministrative unit allocated a prin- cipal by the school district.
 The second point is the required local tax effort, which under the provisions of bill, SB67, submit ted by Gov. Wm. Egan last Friday, would be four mills on the full and true value of all taxable property within the district and one-half of all Public Law 874 money re- ceived during the previous fiscal year.

CrinklaW to Act
 For City In Filing For $65O,OOO For Power Expansion

Howard CrinklaW, manager of the Nome Light and Power report ed, at the Council meeting on Mon- day on his trip to Anchorage where he conferred on the expansion problems of the Power and Light Utilities.
 The Council accepted his report and authorized him to act for the City of Nome in filing an applica- tion for government monies not to exceed $65O,OOO for the power expansion. They also approved an advance of $30,250 on planning money to get the project underway due to the time element involved.
 A letter was read from the Nome Bowlers concerning their lease and the Council approved a new lease at $50 per year with $1O down and the balance before December of 1863.
 Howard Crinklaw, chairman of the Nome Planning Commission, resigned due to his increased work with the power plant expansion and Ben Young was nominated and approved as a member of this group.
 A bill was received from the State of Alaska for the sum of $8,765 due on the paving of Front St. This is the first bill which had been received since 1859.
 The Council accepted the grant monies for sewage treatment plant from the Health Department providing balance will be forth coming.
 A vote of thanks was extended to Ed Benick, who deeded the city with lots 10 and II in block 8 which he no longer wished to keep
 Extensive repairs are needed on the city grader and cat, it was reported, and bids are to go out to establish firms for a complete overhaul of the grader shortly.
 The Mayor, Don Hoover, an nounced a meeting for Friday eve- ming at ? with Al Hulen of FAA to discuss the Airport problems. Another meeting is called for Thursday, Feb. 21, for the Council as the first in a series of special meetings to discuss improvements in city government. Such prob lems as Charter City, changing of election time to October to con- form with other Alaskan cities, ab- sentee voting, etc., will be studied at these meetings.

Thousands Of Husbands

Here is a very important
thought that occurred to me yes
terday; namely, that som e
thousands of husbands in this
country are today suffering the
same bereavement. They are
burying their dearest friend. We
are often too self conferred to
recognize this fact. We think too
much about ourselves alone, and
forget these nine hundred and

Editor of The Herald:

Editor of The Herald:
Having lived in Farmville for
forty years, and remembering,
as do the good Negro friends
| had there. I am moved to
write this letter.
Your August 2 issue OF The
Farmvilie Herald confirmed in
my mind the fact that outsiders
stir up the unfriendly feeling
that our country is experiencing
between our two races that have
been on good terms so many
years.
When l retired from teaching
at LongWood, very lovely. and
I thought well equipped school
had been built to take care of
the Negro population, which at
that time, if | remember cor
rectly, was paying Is per cent
OF the county taxes. l have been
wondering why they didn't take
advantage Of that opportunity.
Another thing is puzzling me.
Why in the name of common
sense, don't these rabble rousers
know that white people on this
continent here have not attained
the position they hold without
work and a disposition to bide
their time in attaining a goal?
!. personally, did not get the
education to teach at LongWood
by joining a mob to demon
strate."

the 54 ruling Of the Supreme
Court. Thes past nine years
have been most eventful. The
situation has now deteriorated to

It was with profound regret

The Allen-Scott Report
Kennedy Seeking Eisenhowers Help
In Support OF Test Ban Treaty

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 - For
mer President Eisenhower is be-
ing preached to support the nu-
clear test ban agreement with
Russia.
President Kennedy personally
asked him to do this.
Telephonihg his Republican
predecessor, Kennedy briefed
him on the treaty and expressed
the earnest hope he would be
able to see his way clear to &C
lively back it. Kennedy mention
ed particularly the great assist
ance Eisenhower could render
by appearing before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
and endorsing the pact.
That wo uld be an invaluable
service to world peace said
Kennedy fe rvently.
He also related he is making
similar appeals TO other Leading
Republicans. Among those men
toned were Henry Cabot Lodge
1860 vice presidential candidate
who is slated to become Am
bassador to South Vietnam; Gen
eral Lucius Clay, One-time com
mander OF U. S. forces in Eu-
rope and close friend Of Eisen-
hover and James Wadsworth,
t m r Ambassador to he
United Nations.
Eisenhower was cordial but
noncommittal.
He was intently interested in
Kennedy's account Of the agree
ment with Khrushchev. but ex-
plaiEed he wanted to study the
full text before taking stand
He assured Kennedy that would
be done as soon as he got a
copy.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT - Two
urgent factors are behind the
Presidents strenuous efforts to
win influen tial Republican back
ing for the test ban pact.
First and most pressing is the
reed for Republican votes to
gain Senate ratification of the
controversial treaty. A two :
thirds majority is required, and
that can be obtained only by
strong bipartisan support.
As OF now. fate Of the agree
ment in the Senate is a toss-up

from leaders Of both parties 49,
foremost among them Senator
Richard Russell, D-Ga., veteran
chairman of the Armed Services
Committee: Senator Henry Jack
son, D-Wash., member OF the
Joint Atomic Committee and
Democratic National Chairman
in the 1860 presidential cam
paign: Senator Barry Goldwa1er,

candidate
The second factor is the unani-

Early Diagnosis

THE 1862 annual report of the Ameri-
: can Cancer Society urges all Ameri-
cans to seek periodical examinations in
an effort to detect cancer while the dis
ease is still in its "sient" stage.
The term "silent' is used to describe
the malignant condition in unbelievable
form. That is, there are no symptoms
which patients recognize as danger sig
mails.
The American Cancer Cociety points
out that thousands of people who die
in the United States each year of six
types Of silent cancer, more than half
could have been saved if the cancer had
been detected early Whereas the per-
son affected may not recognize any
danger signals, such as pains, Jumps or
bleeding, doctor using special detec-
ton equipment can detect the growth
termed "silent" cancer
The A. c. S. says six common types
of cancer which kill more Americans
than they should are cancer growths
of the mouth, uterus, heart, skin, rec
tum, and lungs.
The most interesting part Of the
A. c. S. report is that which states that
cancer, in any Of these forms, if caught
before it begins to spread, can usually
be localized for treatment. Treatment
under such conditions is far more eff
fective than treatment after the disease
has spread.
Leaving everything to somebody else
is a good way to let somebody else run
everything.
Look into the mirror and you can
see what others see.
A successful politician rarely offends
an organized group during an election
year.
