Alaska's strategic military importance was known to
military leaders long before Pearl Harbor. As the threat of war increased
during the late 1930’s, tanks, guns, planes and other military equipment
moved into Alaska.
With them came long lines of trucks, tractors and earth-moving machines
to help build bases and roads.
As the one well-established Alaskan source of petroleum products, we
were called upon to help solve the tremendous problems of building up
and maintaining adequate supplies.
At the same time Standard research scientists were developing special
products to start machines instantly and keep them going in sub-zero
temperatures over all kinds of terrain.
Today, the Armed Forces in Alaska can rely on the same tradition of
service from Standard to help them carry on the vital work they have been
performing day in and day out over the years.

ALASKA TEACHERS
RECOMMEND STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Among recommendations made
at the Third Ataska Education
Association Delegate Assembly
held last month was that a State
Board of Education be created by
the first state legislature with
board members appointed by the
governor with approval of the
legislature and have overlapping
terms, with no member serving
more than two terms. The board
would be responsible for appoint
ment of a fully-qualified com
missioner of education on a
coritractal basis, with the appro
val of the governor.
Other recommendations in
cluded that the State Department
of Education be a separate prin
cipal department of the new
state government as provided in
the constitution; that a thorough
suoy oe made or ine relationship
between boroughs and cities and
the school system before legis
lation concerning these units be
enacted; and that full support be
given the Department of Educa
tion budget for the fiscal year
and for a deficiency appropria
tion for school transportation
and for schools within incorporat
ed districts for the 1957-59 bien
nium. Additional steps and in
crement increases will be pro
moted for teachers.
A request was made that a
tudy be made of present juven
ile laws for recommendation to
the legislature and that the ju
venile code for the new state in
corporate into its laws sufficient
authority for a professionally
trained competent representative
to have greater powers of law
enforcement in dealing with ap
oarcnts of delinquent children.
Also urged was further study for
-pedal education and the train
mg of subnormal children lead
ing to the establishment of fac
ilities to aid them. Local associa
toons were encouraged to set up
scholarships for students inter
ested in the teaching field.
Approximately 60 delegates
from around the territory attend^
ed. Delegates from the 16th Dis
trict were John Aper, Howard
McCal lister* and W. L. Emmert.
