District 7 House of
Representatives
“Yes, Representative Stalker, I understand your need for
another patrolman in N. W. Alaska and I'll help. Why? — The
patrolman I visited in Nome told me about the tremendous area
and responsibility he has in covering an area from Point Barrow
to Unalakleet."
* * *
"Incidentally, the farmers and homesteaders need help
on a desperate problem in the Valley. I certainly could use your
support on this resolution. " "Thanks very much."
* * *
"President Preratrovich, I deeply appreciate your help in
the Senate on my program for increased farm loans. I'll visit
members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood in Glennallen and
WJ’saf r
tell them how much I appreciate the membership accorded me
and how much your help and the other members help has meant
to the farmers."
* * *
These conversations were possible and countless others
with other Legislators because I am Alaskan educated, have
traveled the state and know some of the peoples' problems and
aspirations.
Having mutual friends, similar educational backgrounds
(4 out of 7 in the finance committee were U. of A. alumni) and
being able to compare problems of other areas with those of this
district has enabled me to represent district 7 with effectiveness
