Something is radically wrong
in City Hall!
And something is wrong with
the people of our city if they sit
<back and let it continue!
Our city fathers have one man
doing the job of two. One job is
paid the other is volunteer work.
Both jobs are for the protection
nf our city and its people.
While he is trying to save some
tines burning building, who is
protecting our city from lawless
ness? Not that only this man is
giving First Aid courses to differ
ent organizations and companies
free gratis!
And now the city is planning
ix wage cut for him, so others may
have a wage when they are all
earning wages from other jetes.
-Are we being fair and just?
Sincerely,
MRS. JACK LEEK

resent the school by members of
the faculty. Students will be sel

faculty to best represent their
own peers. Homes where the stu
dents will stay while in Fairbanks
