ESSAY CONTEST
_ i
Essays pepared by students of
Alaska High Schools on the sub
ject, “Price Controls: How long af
ter V-J Day Will They Still Be
Needed?” have been carefully con
sidered by the finalist judges and
their decisions reached, it was an
nounced today by Mrs. Minna Lee
Coughlin, Education Supervisor for
Alaska OPA.
Grand prize of a $50 war bond
and a special certificate of aw'ard
Went to Miss Patte Davis, Junior
High School Senior, w’hose 1500
word essay quoted opinions of a
local music dealer, a specialty store
proprietor, a hardware merchant,
a fisherman, a traveling salesman
and a returned service man, as
wrell as traditional published sour
ces such as the American Observer
and government bulletins.
Summarizing her stand in a
statement quoting the Boy Scout
Executive for Alaska, Mr. D. R.
Hanks, Miss Davis reported his
statement:
“The Office of Price Administra
tion served a purpose during the
World War II that has been unex
celled by any control agency in
this or any other country during a
national crisis. Now during the
reconversion period the OPA will
be the object of vicious attacks
both by labor and by industry,
but in the final analysis we must
weigh what it has done for Am
erica compared to what England,'
Australia, France, Spain and Italy
are suffering at the present time
due to uncontrolled economic bal
ances.”
“Price controls cannot be main
tained indefinitely, but through
this most critical period of all,”1
Miss Davis concludes. “I believe
that OPA should continue until
supply meets demand; until every
aim of the war has been consum
mated; and until world peace is
possible. I hope Congress will
agree with me.”
Miss Josephine Moberg, gradua-1
ting Senior of Seldovia and winner
of second place and a $25 war bond
relies on the experience of old-,
time merchants who suffered thru
the disasters of inflation during;
World War I as a warning to pro- j
vide for continuing “security here;
at home so there can be lasting
peace in the world" and recom-;
mends continuance of price con
trols "until we are on a sound se-!
curity basis.
Placing third and winning $10 in
war stamps was the entry of Miss
Frances Barlow of Juneau, while;
Honorable mention went to Donn
Black of Fairbanks High School.
Conducted for high schools all
over the Territory, the contest pas
sed through preliminary competi
tion which reduced the number of
essays to be considered in the fin
als to 14. Widely known over
the Territory and chosen for their
interest in Alaska’s welfare, judges
who served on the finalist team
were Dr. James C. Ryan, Territor
ial Commissioner of Education;
Mrs. James Drake, Deputy Com
missioner of Education for many
years; and Mr. B. D. Stewart, Com
missioner for hte Territorial Bur
eau of Mines. All money for the
prizes was donated by OPA per-1
sonnel, Mrs. Coughlin explained.'
