“<»vc luuciy . . . we neeci tne
Elks lodge and local citizens
to show the way of opportuni
ties in America . . . these
youths today have seen the in
side workings of the city and
realize there are many citizens
uonaung nme ana ettort to
promote the American way,
that do not draw pay en
velopes.”
The main speaker for the
program. Dr. William H. Shear,
doctor of social science at the
Alaska Methodist University,
based his talk on citizenship.
"Many persons complain
about what the government
spends, how they spend it,
and the many give-away pro
grams the government has
. . . however, it is the indi
vidual voter who decides to
elect those who represent
them; it's the citizen's obli
gation to vote/' he slated,
and pointed out that in the
course of a lifetime an indi
vidual only has the oppor
tunity 40 to 50 times.
The speaker pointed out the

apathy of voters. He stated it
is impossible for a committee
to hand pick a candidate, as it
is up to the individual whether
he wants to run, or decides not
to. The final decision is up to
the voter, he emphasized.
Dr. Shear said it was time tc
take the word “dirty” out oi
politics. As politicians are noi
dishonest, and if they are, it i;
the obligation of the citizens tc
see that they are relieved o:
office.
Senator Brad Phillips of
Anchorage, also a guest at
the dinner, said he felt the
apathy of Alaskan people
was Alaska's biggest prob
lem. "They won't take any
interest in their government
until such time as it hits
their own backyard and then
they start complaining."
Phillips continued that the
job ahead for Alaskans will be
a tremendous one—especially
as our total population is onl\
250.000.
Stan Zaborac, leading knighi
of the Elks, gave a resume oi
Elks efforts and read a reporl
made by William Hawkins
Elks past grand exalted rulei
of Idaho, in which he pointed
out that Youth Day is observed
each year to give recognition
to boys and girls w h o are
training themselves for respon
sible citizenship in a few short
years hence. He pointed o u t
ihat Elks National Youth Day
focuses community attention
on the constructive activities
of the great majority of the
youth and helps dispel the no
tion that most youngsters are
bent for perdition.
While the Youth Day pro
gram was in progress, members
of the Future Farmers of
America contributed their part
to the observance by spading
the flower garden at the hos
pital and cleaning the road
along the railroad tracks, in
spite of high winds. Other stu
dents at the high school clean
ed the grounds around the
building.
RESIDENTS WARNED DUCKS AND

ALASKA EXHIBIT
PRAISED BY ROMICK
Commisioner of Commerce
A. H. Romick has described the
Alaska exhibit at the Seattle
World's Fair as one of the most
interesting on the entire
grounds—all the more interest
ing. he noted, because no other
state, province, or country has
anything similar. He urges all
Alaskans attending the fair to
take in the state's exhibit.
More than 7.000 visitors
toured the Alaska exhibit dur
ing the first two days. Romick
said, and comments were very
favorable.
The Alaska State exhibit, lo
cated closer to the famed Space
Needle than any other, is hous
ed in a building provided by
the National Bank of Com
merce.

wild animals or birds arc ;
abandoned by their mothers
Young birds found wandering
in the wild should be left un
molested. In most cases they
will rejoin their mothers with
out any difficulty. In addition,
the natural mother, under wild
conditions, can usually raise
her brood more successfully
than can man under caged con
ditions.
RUNWAYS NOT
PLAYGROUNDS
FFA OFFICIALS WARN
Bicycle riding, baseball
games, foot races, horseback
riding, and kite flying can be
very wholesome and healthy
outdoor pastimes—except when
they take place on a busy air
port runway. And that’s what’s
been happening recently at
Merrill Field as well as other
airports throughout Alaska
much to the concern of airport
and Federal Aviation Agency
officials.
Visitors are welcome at the
tower and other FAA facilities
around an airport, particularly
when personel have time to
show them around, but he
urges that children be accom
panied by adults and that all
persons exercise caution in
avoiding runways and other
hazardous areas.
Savings Bonds bought on the
Payroll Savings Plan account
for over 40 per cent of the
$4''a billion Series E and H
bonds sold annually.

MUSICAL PLANNED
HERE ON MAY 13
Mrs. Thelma Riley, soprano,

presented at 2 p.m. May 13 at
St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal
Church. The public is invited
to attend. A silver offering will
be accepted during the after
noon and tea and refreshments
will be served.
Although Savings Bond
drives have the basic purpose
of providing the government
with working capital, they
also achieve an even greater
purpose: they enable millions
of Americans to save system
atically for worthwhile goals.
