days in March who reside at the
Alaska Pioneers’ Home at Sitka, is
Arthur Marzan, formerly of Kodiak.
Arthur Marzan was born March
21, 1874, which makes him 87 years
old—not the oldest amongst these
oldtimers—but certainly in there
crowding 90.

age last Friday. He suffered a
sprained leg in a competition the
next day.

This is the
most important
I seat in the

•y?
I Tom here, is discovering the atom.
But the most exciting discovery in
the classroom could well be Tom
himself.
For he’s the owner of a bright,
inquiring mind—and possible seeds
of greatness.
His and other keen minds should
be given the chance to develop their
I capabilities to the fullest... for the
nation’s very existence depends on
their growth.
I Today, industry and education are
uniting to help provide this chance.
For its part, Standard is investing
| $1,300,000 this year in scholarships,
research grants, fellowships, direct aid
to colleges and universities, teaching
aids, educational broadcasts.
Industry’s investment, we believe,
will be returned many times over
in enriched minds and improved
technology.
