WILL RUSSIA TAKE BACK WHAT WE BOUGHT?
Alaska Day, 1950, was a memorable day in Nome
when three Congressmen from three widely scattered
States came to Nome to learn first hand why the people
of this area are concerned about insufficient military
protection.
Senator Hunt of Wyoming closed the public hearing
here with words, which if backed up with the needed
military protection in this area, may result in averting
a disaster that could go down in history as a shameful
neglect and disregard of human lives. He said it was
a memorable day when Alaska was purchased from
Russia 83 years ago, and that it never should be allowed
to fall in enemy hands again.
He is reported to have said in Anchorage that “de
spite the high costs the U. S. military establishments
must be maintained for at least ten years.”
ATOMIC DIRECT POWER
A practical method for the conversion of atomic en
ergy into electricity, without the use of boilers, steam
driven dynomas, or other intermediate steps, is re
ported by the Atomic Energy Commission, which says
that the discovery is the work of a research project by
a number of scientists, headed by John L. Yuranz and
Prof. Robert J. Moon.
So far, of course, only a feeble current of approxi
mately one-quarter of a watt has resulted from the neu
tron thermometer. It is believed, however, that the de
velopment will permit reduction in atomic furnaces to
one-fifth of their present size. It is presumed to be a
key factor in the search of scientists for an atomic fur
nace small enough to power a submarine.
FORD FORTUNE TO WORK FOR MAN
The Ford Foundation, with more than $2,000,000 at
its disposal, plans to center its work on five fields of in
quiry: (a) the quest for world peace; (b) the strength
ening of democracy; (c) world-wide economic improve
ment; (d) the expansion of education, and (e) a study
of human conduct.
The work of the Foundation can benefit the entire
human race if those in charge of its studies will relent
lessly pursue the truth, regardless of previously form
ed opinions and the vested interests of anybody or any
thing. The truth is an elusive goal. Its discovery is often
thwarted by adherence to custom, yielding to prejudice

Lillian Porter has been writing
letters to her friends and from
all accounts she is enjoying Mt.
Edgecumbe and environs. Danc
ing in consuming a good share of
her time and she is pursuing her!
favorite subject, art. All the stu

Statue at Sitka. Lillian’s win
some manner is greatly missed in
Haycock, but her many friends
are happy to learn about her new |
found home and associates at Sit- j
ka.
Although Sunday was an ex- J
tremely windy day, Haycock’s!
air strip was quite busy. Reggie
Joule brought in Miss Cornue’si
supplies from Golovin. In late af- j
ternoon the welcome sight of the
mail plane hurried us all off to
the field. Then Bert Beltz of Kot- |
zebue, pleasantly surprised his j
brother, Johnny, and friends, by j
dropping in for a couple of days.
Bert’s Piper Cub was minus a
window when he arrived at Hay
cock. It seems that the wind over j
Bear Creek was the cause of the!
missing part.
The children of Haycock are I
spending all out-of-school hours
at the lake where they are learn
ing new skating techniques. As
yet Dime Creek hasn’t frozen suf
ficiently for skating.
Bear Creek operations ceased
October 10. Wallace and Billy
Porter, Bill Carlson and Charlie
Atmik came into town on the
tractor. Bill and Charlie stayed
over night at Porters and were
flown to their respective homes,
Nome and Koyuk, on Wednesday.
Henry Adams and Helga A. Pe
derson, also employed by Porter,
returned to Koyuk with Art John
son.
Wally Johnson came from Nome
October 2 and has been with the
Billy Porters. Wally and Johnny
Beltz are now in the Sweepstakes
area hunting. We all hope that
they return with some birds.
Art Johnson, Haycock’s staunch
pilot, orrives at all hours of the
day and night. Election day he
was extremely busy transporting
people from the creeks to their
respective homes.
Art brought Mrs. Sophia Rvlan
cler and children in from Sweep
stakes. Allen and Daphne have
begun their formal education and
out enrollment is nine.
Emily Pederson, who has been
attending school at Haycock, flew
to Koyuk to be with her mother,
Helga.
Mrs. Oscar Swanson enjoyed a
brief visit with her sister, Mrs4
Annie Kimaktook of Koyuk. Mrs.
Kimaktook was enroute to Kotze
bue hospital.
John Winder relied on an an
cient and dependable means of
transportation to return to Hay
cock. He walked from Sweep
stakes to his cabin. John’s unique
cabin is the voting polls. John,
George, Leonard and Lizzie Swan
son acted as judges. They report
ed 12 registered voters.
A Hallowe’en party is being
planned for the evening at Oct.
28, at the school house. Costumes
will be encouraged. We hape that

French Reds Ask
End Of War In
Indochina
PARIS, (/P) — Premier Rene
Pleven’s government came under
heavy political fire yesterday be
cause of French military defeats
in Indo-China.
Communist deputy Pierre Juge
opened the debate in the national
assembly by demanding an “im
medate end” to the war. Edmond
Michelet, a right-wing follower of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, called
for a more energetic fight against
the communist-led forces of Ho
Chi Minh.
Michelet branded the evacua
tion of Caobang “the greatest
disaster in our colonial history.”
He attacked Pleven’s middle-of
the road coalition as a regime of
“white sepulchres.”

The Foundation owes its life to the fortune amassed
by Henry Ford, who. be it clearly understood, made his
wealth in a competitive field and without special favors.
That a considerable portion of his fortune now goes into
the unselfish service of mankind in general is extreme
ly fortunate and demonstrates, once more, the tendency
of men of wealth to do something for the world with
their resources.
