How To Put New Life
In Jo Old Paper And
Metal ROOTS* There’s no
time like now for money-saving
action on your roofing-paper
and "tin” roofs. It’s so easy to
preserve your roof, keep it cool
er with Standard Aluminum
Asbestos Coating.
Here’s the routine we recom
mend for brush application:
1. Clean roof thoroughly.
2. Inspect for defects; if badly
worn, re-roof.
3. If roof is secure, patch major
holes and tears.
4. Stir Standard Aluminum
Asbestos Coating thorough
ly and apply with rootinj
brush.
5. Use long, easy strokes. One
or two strokes over a given
spot cause the material to
flow out to a natural thick
ness. Further brushing re
sults only in ”balling"of the
coating.
Standard Aluminum Asbestos
Coating actually adds years of
sendee to roofs. Call us about
it today. We’d like to show
you the service that has helped
us grow in this locality.

ESKIMOS MAKE PLEA FOR
CHILDREN'S EDUCATION
From Jessen’s Weekly:
"We people at Kobuk, Alaska,
would like to have a school for
our school-age children which
we do not have, and we do not
want our children to grow with
out being abl to read and write,
as they are American citizens
and am sure they want to be
and live the American way of
life.
We are Eskimo people and we
pay taxes, such as school tax,
property tax, income tax, to
bacco tax, which is only for
schools (an earmarked fund) and
the few who mine gold pay the
federal gold tax.
“We feel justified in asking
for this school and would cher
ish it, for it is the heritage of
every American citizen to be
able to read and write or have
the opportunity to learn. We
have a future as this locality is
highly mineralized, and we have
jade which is mined with success
every year on a small scale with
the possibility of expanding.
“We have river transportation
which scows come right from
the coast by literage company.
We have an airport which can
handle DC-3 planes, which is
only five miles away, built by
the CAA. and would meet all
needs for radio and weather
forecasts.
“We get mail by air three
times a week. We have a post
office here and also a trading
post with reasonable prices.
“If only we had a school for
our children then it would make
it so we could keep on living
here and not force us to leave
to wherever there i- a school.
“We would be willing to do
our share in gi fting this school.
If there is anything that you can
do for us. I am sure it will be
appreciated.
“T h a n k i n g you for your
trouble,
“Sincerely,
Charles A. Sheldon
“P.S. We want Territorial
school.
"Here are the names of our
school-age children: Nina Har
vey, Ida Ward, Elmer Ward,
Larena Sheldon, Ah x Sheldon,
Donald Sheldon, Bernice Har
ner, Lydia Mark, Violet Wood.
Larry Custer. John Custer. And
other younger children are
catching up.
“Copies of this letter have
been sent to Oscar L. Chapman,
Secretary of the Interior; Gov
ernor Ernest Gruening, Senator
Tom Connally of Texas, and
Commissioner of Education at
Juneau.
SEWARD, NEBRASKA ALSO
WORRIED OVER SCHOOLS
The Seward, Nebraska weekly
newspaper, the Blue Valley
Blade, is now on the exchange
list with the Seaport Record, and
the first copy of the sister city
paper (May 1) is in this office
for any who care to read it.
A few comparisons might be
interesting to local readers. For
instance, the name C o r d o v n
catches the eye, and remember
ing our neighbor, Cordova, Al
aska, one immediately stops to
read the news of that city, which
is a neighbor to Seward, Ne
braska.
Prices always make us wince
by comparison. The Blue Valley
Blade is advertising fresh dress
ed local chickens at 55 cents
per pound, just half of what we
are glad to pay to get local
chicken. Their prices on canned
goods and dry packaged food
are not much different, but fresh
vegetables and fruits!!! Meats
seem to be about half of what
we pay: chuck roast, 65 cents
and bacon 55 cents.
The large farming community
in Seward County, Nebraska,
brings in much news and adver
tising of kind entirely foreign
to Seward, Alaska. We stopped
to read an advertisement for
"Pig Mama” that was most in
trigueing. There being no farms
at all near us, we learned a
great deal about pigs thru Pig
Mama which comes in paper
sacks like dog feed.
Bowling league scores com
pare favorably with ours, only
a little lower. An interchange
of bowling games by mail has
been suggested for next season.
Cheer up. Longshoremen, you
have a good chance!
Legion and VFW Auxiliary
news sounds familiar, as does
WSCS, 111. and church items.
The "Blade” is urging people
to go to ihe polls and vote for
a school bond. How familiar that
is, with our second school bond
in three years facing us in Sew
ard, Alaska.
One thing we Alaskan S.w
ardites have that our friends
do not, however, is Marathon
Mountain. In a coming issue of
the Record we will have a pic
ture of the mountain race course
which we hope will interest
some Nebraskan enough to have
them pay us a visit on July 4th
and maybe get in on some of the
big prize money.
A man from Kansas (a sand
runner) made third place last
year, why not a Nebraskan?
The $100 doll given away by
the American Legion Auxiliary
Wednesday evening at the Le
gion Club, went to Bernice Law
ton and J. L. Ford.
