SCHOOLS WORTH THEIR COST
The opening of Nome school on September 4, im
portant as it is to the pupils, teachers and citizens of
this area, constitutes but a small part of the tremen
dous procession of children making another advance
in their progress toward education.
In the United States there is a general recognition
of the right of every child to an education. The gov
ernments of the commonwealths of the land have
accepted the responsibility and public schools, sup
ported by public funds, offer educational ooportunities
to their sons and daughters as a matter of right.
No person can safely assume that our educational
processes, our buildings and equipment or our curricula
and personnel constitute a perfect setup, but when
we dwell on minor faults, let us not overlook the tre
mendous values that accrue to society through our
educational program.
The prospect is that the cost of education, along
with other services and commodities, will increase in
the years ahead. This is inevitable but, in considera
tion of taxation and costs, let us not forget the abundant
return that accrues from an intelligently-developed
population. It is worth much more than it costs.

Attack Alaska
Panel of Indian
Claims Commission
By FRANK W. VAILLE
iAP Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Indian
representatives have bitterly at
tacked a proposed bill to set up a
special Alaska panel within the
Indian Claims Commission.
Sponsors contend the bill would
provide an orderly procedure for
settling the disputed title to Al
aska land.
But two witnesses, James E. Cur
ry, attorney for the Alaska Native
Brotherhood and National Con
gress of American Indians, and
Mrs. Ruth Bronson, executive di
rector of the Indian Congress, dif
fered with that interpretation.
Appearing before the House In
dian Affairs subcommittee, they
centered their attack on a single
clause which would prohibit any
claimant from being awarded “ex
clusive rights in coastal waters
beyond the low water mark.”
Mrs. Bronson asserted the
phrase amounted to “confiscation
without compensation” of Indian
claims to water and fishing rights.
Curry agreed, declaring it was
“perfectly clear that the main pur
pose of the bill is not to settle—
but to settle adversely the Indian
claims.
C. M. Granger, assistant chief
of the Forest Service, along with
Dillon S. Meyers, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, and Delegate
Bartlett, sponsor of the bill, urged
its approval with amendements.
Such a law is necessary, they con
tend, to permit the continued dev
elopment of the territory.

Cemetery because “only members
of the Caucasian race” could be
buried in the cemetery.

John R, Rice, 37, killed in action,
Sept. 6, 1950, while serving with
the First Cavalry Division. He

There are many advantages, in
cluding economy, to cooking meat
at low temperatures, regardless of
the cooking method used. To the
Marie Kiefer
homemaker, the
important figure
isn’t the cost
per pound but
the cost per
serving. Low 1
t e m p e rature
cooking means
less shrinkage
and assures
more servings
per pound of
meat. Tests show that shrinkage is
reduced from 20 to 2o per cent.
Meat is more tender when cooked
at a low temperature. High temp
erature reduces tenderness by
causing muscle fibers to shrink. At
low temperatures, juices remain in
the meat and fat melting slowly
through the meat enhances its
flavor.
The man of the house will enjoy
carving roasts that have been
! cooked at low temperatures be
cause they carve easily and fall
into full slices. Roasts cooked at
high temperatures are dry and will
crumble wiien carved.
Meat cooked at low' temperatures
is uniformly done th rough out —
completely rare, medium or well
done. It doesn’t burn on the out
side before cooking in the center.
Drippings are clearer and of
higher quality at low' temperatures.
| There also is less splattering of fat
; in pan and oven and this makes
less work in cleaning.
