I am not one of those who
believe that in order to remain j
great we must discard suddenly
the methods and principles by j
which we became great. Two
years after England started na-;
tionalizing her industries she was
forced to vote power to the gov
ernment to tell her citizens where
to work and what to do! We
want none of this. But, if we na
tionalize education through so- J
called federal aid, we will get
all these ills and more!

PASCO, Wash.,_(/P)—The Col
umbia basin is a vast drab carpet
but irrigation water soon will start
trimming the edges with green.
Pumps will start Saturday on
the Pasco unit of the million-acre
Columbia basin project. The wat
er they draw from the mighty
Columbia will be first delivered
by the bureau of reclamation in
the project.
Bureau spokesmen said the
water delivered to the 5,550-acre
Pasco project will be a tiny frac
tion of the flow which ultimately
will be diverted to the sage cov
ered basin.
Completion of the major irri
gation systems in the huge pro
ject still is years away.

“Other solutions may be con
sidered,” Allen continued, adding:
“One such that has found some
favorable response is a proposal
that the Maritime Commission,
through a general agency con
tract or a government-owned
corporation, operate a service
which will care for carrying pas
sengers and mail, with possible
freight service, to email ports
not otherwise regularly served,
throwing the field of carrying
freight to the principal ports wide
open to general competition.”
His committee, Allen said, will
attempt to stabilize the Alaskan
shipping situation.
Alaskans have said they do not
approve the proposed extension
of the present plan.

Apdil 28, 1948
Gambell, Alaska
Work has begun on a new
school building and Alaska Nat
ive Service teachers quarters at
Savoonga, replacing the former
structure which was destroyed
by fire in 1946. William Robert
son, A.N.S. engineer, has spent
the past month on St. Lawrence
aiding ANS teacher Williams, of
Savoonga, in beginning the pro
ject which will be completed late
this summer.
In an effort to advance the
production of food on the island
the St. Lawrence Island Reindeer
Co., directed by Williams of Sav
oonga, and advised by Elmo Mil
ler, ANS representative from
Nome, currently at Gambell in
vestigating the food shortage, is
planning to let out contracts to
a group of St. Lawrence men who
will serve as year around herders
on a share basis of the reindeer
herd.
The herd which lives primarily
on the southern section of the
island away from the villages has
become increasingly wild during
the past three years and under
the new plan it is hoped that
the deer will be tamed enough
for proper herding and slaughter.
Arrangements are being made
for a field party of U.S. Geolog
ical Survey personnel, who are
planning work on St. Lawrence
during the summer month.s Pur
pose of their project has not been
announced.
Partially alleviating the food
shortage which is becoming more
serious daily on St. Lawrence,
twenty-eight walrus were killed
at Savoonga on April 27. This
boom in hunting, the first this
season for the island, will still
leave the native of Gambell with
the smallest number of walrus
and seals killen in many years.
The sea ice has gone out and
small hope remains that the us
ual whale will be killed.
{Requests for emergency food
supplies to last over until arrival
of North Star this summer have
been made by Elmo Miller after
investigation of the situation dur
