Anchorage—
(Continued from page 1)
his statements that the entire ter
ritory must become alert to the
need to create interest in the
tourist industry in Alaska. “This
year we have a particular prob
lem”, he said. “Without the pas
senger ships coming to the terri
tory selling Alaska to the tour
ist will be a different story. We
no longer have the inside passage
to sell. Now they will see Alas
ka. Last year Palmer was out
standing in its efforts to solve the
tourist problem. “We told Palmer
we needed help ifm promoting the
Matanuska Valley to the tour
ists. We got immediate help and
now the Matanuska Valley tour
is a howling success”. Each com
munity must work in the same
direction. Tht tourist industry is
a basic industry, feeding off no
other industry. “The tourist sea
son is but 60 days away and we
can do something about it”, he
added. In pointing out the impor
tance of the tourist industry Phil
lips mentioned the successful pro
gram in progress in Hawaii,
Switzerland and other countries
where they have made concen
trated efforts to build up the
IU141 io l ti auv..
Forrest Roha n, convention
chairman, spoke on the impor
tance of cities opening their doors
to conventions. Last year Palmer
had three territorial conventions,
and I’m sure, he said, that every
one here recognizes the impor
tance of holding conventions in
Alaskan cities. Valdez promotes
itself to the tourist—other sec
tions of Alaska should do the
same. We Alaskans like to travel
ourselves. Let’s get the Alaskans
to see Alaska.
John Croul, manager of the
Anchorage chamber, offered his
congratulations to Palmer on its
good basketball team, referring to
the tournament games played in
Anchorage. He pointed out that
Palmer and the Matanuska Valley
are in position to reach all Alas
ka as a market for locally grown
and produced food items. He
spoke of the cooperation Anch
orage has shown to the valley in
promoting its produce, and spoke
specifically of the potato promo
tion the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce undertook last year.
Homer has its seafoods, he said.
We believe this feature can be
worked into a full time industry
for those people. The Anchorage
market has grown to where we
now count between 90 and 95
thousand people in a 50 mile ra
dius of Anchorage., mis is your
potential market, he pointed out.
Dr. Gordon Gould, of the Meth
odist College, spoke to the group
on what the building of the col-'
lege will mean, not only to the
people of Anchorage and Palmer,
but of the entire territory. Your
boys, and girls will be able to
get their higher learning right
here in the territory, he pointed
out. It is with great personal sat
isfaction that we see the college
program taking hold. It’s been
seven years in planning, lots of
the necessary work was not very
exciting, but row it is taking
hold. Parents will be able to think
in terms of an enduring home—
businesses can be formed with a
permanent business in mind—it
will create a heritage for Alaska’s
youth.
Dr. H. Z. Johns, also of the Col
lege, spoke to the group on the
immediate response the public
has given to the drive to collect
$500,000. “We have $40,000, with
the drive only a few days along”,
he pointed out. Dr. Alex Stewart
also of the Alaska Methodist Col
lege spoke of the importance of
keeping the young people of Al
aska in Alaska. “Unfortunately,
he said, statistics show that for
the past 25 years, 95 percent of
the youth going Stateside for their
! education never return to Alaska.
I We have lost these potential
leaders who are necessary to the
growth of Alaska.”'
The college representatives
stressed that the funds for the
college are being raised by pledge
and donations. “There will be
no house-to-house canvass for
cash donations”, Dr. Gould said.
We are doing this with cards and
are asking for pledges. Dr. Stew
art told of an unemployed car
penter in the Anchorage area who
this week signed a pledge card
for $500 a year for three years.
“This man, though unemployed
at the present, was showing his
faith in the college”, he said.
Pledge cards and other materi
al are available to any group or
individual who wishes to volun
teer time, Dr. Gold said. We will
1 come to Palmer to meet ar.d talk
with groups if we are wanted.
Anyone interested may contact

mittee, c/o Anchorage Hotel,
