WHAT IS AN "EXPERT"?
This question has occurred to us
many times lately since so many
“experts” have been telling Al
askans the right way to do
things.
What brought this on is the
news that Anchorage has hired
another “expert” to study the
port question in that cit$. Just
what qualification this one has to
entitle him to the name of expert
seems to be a moot question.
One wonders why the big city,
and other bodies, so often bypass
experienced men in a given line
of endeavor who have lived and
worked for years on the kind of
job in question.
One concludes that an “ex

pert" from Outside may be more
inclined to come up with an an
swer that pleases his employers,
where a local expert who has
gained his knowledge from prac
tical experience in the field may
too often bluntly disagree with
his employers—hence the expert
"from the south to tell Anchor
age that “of course you can build
a profitable port in an icebound
country. Sure you can, 1 say so,
and I'm an expert, aren’t I?"
We probably have more im
ported “experts” to the square
inch in Alaska than any other
part of the U.S. Experts to tell
us what’s wrong with statehood,
what's wrong with health, edu
cation, juveniles, crime, fishing,
every problem we have, and all
of which we have been fully
aware of from the beginning.
They make surveys, render opin
ions, collect their fees—then dig
out, back to the south where
we should have let them stay in
the first place. What good do
they do!1 Not one expert has of
fered the solution to all our
troubles — where to get the
money to correct the situation.
Away with the “Experts.”
They weary us!

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard
With Thanksgiving behind us,
we begin making preparations
for the Christmas season which
is fast drawing near. Much evi
dence of early Christinas shop
pers is to be found around Jesse
Lee as we have been receiving
presents for weeks and each
boat brings in a larger load. Ole
"Spirit" has been working over
time in the hearts of folks this
year.
Our "First Aiders” had ^uite
a little work-out this past week,
with one broken toe and three
cracked ribs oocuring on the
premises. Too bad they didn't
wait til next week as we hadn't
covered the chapter on broken
bones yet! With all the enthusi
asm administered, however, the
patients couldn't help but mend
rapidly.
A bearded gentleman mys
teriously appeared in the dining
hall Wednesday night, much to
the curiosity of the children. He
turned out to be Mr. Cecil Wyatt
from Homer, and was later intro
duced as our Chapel speaker.
Several references were made
both by Mr. Lee and Mr. Wyatt
to the beard, but no explana
tions were given, so the mystery
remains unsolved.
Mr. and Mrs. Skip Brown
were weekend guests of the
Home. Mrs. Brown, the former
Phyllis Dowling, was a house
mother here for two years prior
to her marriage. She proved she
still had the old "touch” by lead
*ftng a candy-making expedition
with the older girls.
Two nurses from the Seward
Sanatorium have joined the staff
of the new ANS hospital in An
chorage. They are Mrs. Ines
Erickson, R.N., and Mrs. Irene
Hyke, nurses aide.
