Birth Certificates
For Alaska-Born
Students Available
School bells are due to ring
again in just a few weeks and
Alaska-born pupils who need to
present a birth registration rec
ord upon enrolling for the first
time may obtain a birth card
from the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics. Students and pupils going
outside to college or school also
may have need for the small,
plastic covered birth card which
may be presented in lieu of the
more cumbersome birth certifi
cate, according to F. E. Kester
director of the Vital Statistics
bureau. In accordance with the
McCarron immigration act of
1952, he pointed out, Alaskans
entering the states must now
present some proof of citizen
ship.
Requests for birth cards should
be made well in advance of the
date they will be needed, Kester
advised. Applications for the
cards must state name of the ap
plicant, date and place of birth,
and names of the parents, and
must be accompanied by a money
order for one dollar.
Applications should be address
ed to the Bureau of Vital Statis
tics, Alaska Department of Heal
th, 4th and Main Streets, Juneau.
Progress on the new high school
is progressing, William T. Zah
radnicek, superintendent of sch
ools said this week, but the ex
pected completion date in late
November is not expected to be
met, he added. We do not expect !
the school .will be done before
sometime around the first of the
year, he said.

Butte Girls
At our last meeting Mrs. Sher
man took us into Anchorage
where we appeared on Ruth
Briggs’ KENI radio program. We
then went to the KFQD station
and were shown around the
studio. They also let us record
our voices and then played the
recordings back for us.
We had planned a picnic lunch
at the park but because of rain
we had to eat in the car. We
then went window shopping.
Only three of us, Audrey Parks,
Merle Newton, Leona Rippy were
to appear on Audrey Davies’ TV
program but due to difficulties at
the station it was cancelled until
the next day.
We wish to thank Mrs. Wilbert
Trudell for helping furnish part
of the transportation to Anchor
age.
