CONTEST WINNER—Mynita Harris is shown proudly displaying a
$50 check she received as a first prize money in the Tundra Times
recent Native Talent Contest. When asked what she was going to do
with the money, she quickly answered that she would give it to her
ad"l,t«d Parents to help pay their bills. However, her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Thurston Jones, said they would use the money to help
buy a piano accordian Mynita has been wanting.
Mynita Harris Wanted to
Give Money to Parents
In the rerent Tundra Times Na
tive Talent Contest, little Mynita
Harris, pupil in the Kotzebue Day
School, won first prize money of
$50. The following is the informa
tion given us by V. Lamarr Jen
sen, Mynita's teacher:
“The class would like to thank
you for the consideration extended
to its clasmate, Mynita Harris in
your Tundra Times Native Art Con
test. We were all happy for her
and glad that our classmate might
be responsible for assisting in such
a worthy cause as raising money
for backing your fine newspaper,
the Tundra Times. We are looking
forward to a chance to buy some of
your Christmas cards.
“When the news first came about
Mynita's good fortune, I asked her
what she planned to do with the
prize money. Without even paus
ing, she replied that she would
help her adopted parents pay their
bills. Her adopted parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Thurston Jones, tell me that
they will use the money to help
buy Mynita a piano accordion which
she has wanted for sometime.
“Mynita is a very fine, quiet,
good natured and a conscientious
student. She is one of seven chil
dren in her family. After her father
passed away this last year, she
came to Kotzebue from Juneau to
live with the Joneses. She expects
to be legally adopted by them with
in the next year. Mynita doesn’t
know, other than being from South
eastern Alaska, what her family
genealogy is.”
Whatever her genealogy, we, of
the Tundra Times are very happy
for her. She has shown us to be a
thoughtful and generous little girl
which bring rewards. We also want
to thank her for her prize-winning
drawing.

President John F. Kennedy.
Senator Ernest Grucning reports
from Washington, D.C. that while
Brandon was lowering the flag to
half-mast, a passerby, weeping
openly, asked if he could help.

tion in abundant measure for various types of art. And the
arts are growing remarkably, contributing toward a way
of life that brings happiness to people—not one based
entirely on the dollar—though the arts can bring their dol
lars too. If we put our minds to the situation and the potent
ial, the arts can be woven even more deeply into the
Maskan way of life, making it both more satisfying and
nore productive.
