PRIM \RY I.LECTION
Continued From Pa c One
lion, this gives Stepovieh an im
mediate advantage.
However, there are many young
and new voters in Alaska who do
not know Stepovieh. Fritz is well
known thou'thout the state, but he
is known as a medical doctor. If
the public image can be switched
from medical doctor to governor,
he - as a chance of winning the
election. He has been conducting a
door-to-door campaign unmatched
by any other Republican candidate.
Pollock is fairly well known in
Anchorage and southeastern, less
known in other sections of the
state. He has been campaigning
vigorously throughout the state.
Though. Stepovieh started out a
length ahead, it is entirely possible
that either Fritz or Pollock could
overtake him.
Secretary of State
Hugh Wade is unopposed in the
Democratic primary for Secretary
of State. Of the two Republican
candidates, Ross and Gilliland,
Ross is better known in Republi
can circles and is more likely to
win the primary.
U.S. Senator
In the Democratic primary be
tween Veach and Gruening there
is little question of the outcome.
Gruening is too well known in
Alaska to be defeated in a primary.
The Republican primary is between
Stevens and Cook, both running
for a major office for the first
time. Both men are conducting
active campaigns, but it is my opin
ion that Stevens, with a back
ground on the Washington scene,
will win the primary handsomely.
U.S. Representative
Ralph Rivers is not opposed in
the Democratic primary. The two
Republican candidates, Thomas and
Pratt, are both campaigning ac
tively and both expect to win.
Pratt has been elected to office
in Alaska previously, but Lowell
Thomas Jr., is better known by
the average voter. The edge now
goes to Thomas.

LEONARD SEPPALA
WINS ARGOSY'S GIANT
ADVENT! RE AWARD
Ary >sv’s Giant Adventure Award
for 1962 has been won by Leonard
Seppala, formerly of Nome. Alaska.
In the magazine’s August issue,
Lowell Thomas Jr., first winner
■ -!' the award, recounts Seppala’s
adventure during gold rush days
when he drove his dog-team to
Nome in a frantic dash to bring
much needed serum to that city,
beset by a diptheria epidemic.
Ironically, that heroic happen
ing was credited to the wrong
driver. When Lowell Thomas
brought this error to the attention
of the magazine it was decided to
pay due homage to the true hero
of the dash.
Born in Norway, the 85-vear-old
Seppala currently resides in Seat
tle. He is the fifth winner of the
Giant of Adventure Award. Lowell
Thomas (cited twice*, Cmdr. Ed
ward Beach, Sir Edmund Hillary
and Jacques Piccard are previous
Giants of Adventure.
Canadian Immigration Down
OTTAWA l.T*—Canada’s popula

570.000, reflecting the smallest an
nual increase since 1959, the gov

The gain over last year was
| 832,000.
Canada apparently lost more
people through emigration than il
gained by immigration during the
12 months up to June 1. The dom
inion Bureau of Statistics esti
mated emigration at 72,000 or
73,000 and immigration at around
70.000.

BY V! RY! O. MARTIN
Republican for Governor
Primary elect ion is only a few
clays away. We all know the
chaotic conditions brought about
by Gov. Egan, and we know
too that none of my Republican
opponents for the post of gover
nor have had the courage and
foresight to offer constructive
programs or to face the basic
issues of this campaign. I might
1 use Sen, Pollock as an example,
as the other candidates work
much as he does. He has failed
to offer a single constructive
suggestion for the betterment of
our state. He has failed to dis
cuss such major issues as right
to work, operation of the ferry
system, rights of natives, sales
tax, highways, airports, ESC,
use of oil lease bonus money.
Mr. Pollock, and none of the
other Republican candidates have
made suggestions for rehabili
tation of our fisheries (and as
you know, I have outlined a
complete program which has re
ceived the approval of both the
fishermen and industry). He has
i outlined nothing to aid our tim
j her industry or to provide in
j dustrial expansion and new job
I opportunities. All Pollock and
j the other Republican governor
; candidates have said, is that
I Egan spends too much money.
' This we know Ask yourself this
j question. If Pollock and the
; other Republican governor can
! didates do not have the courage
j to face the issues in the cam
! paign, will they have the courage
1 to face the same problems as
j governor?
j In print and in speeches, I
have met every issue and out
lined my program on the issues.
I did this after making personal
investigation of the problems in
all corners of the state. Combine
my governmental and adminis
trative background with this
knowledge of local conditions on
a state-wide level, as governor
I will have this state operating
smoothly, efficiently and at the
lowest possible cost.

NO JUSTIFICATION

can radio said today that fear of
giving birth to a deformed child
is no justification for abortion.
The broadcast did not mention
American television actress Sherri
Finkbine by name. But it was clear
the Roman Catholic station was
referring to Mrs. Finkbine, who is
seeking an abortion because she
fears her unborn child will be de
formed as a result of taking the
drug thalidomide.

Cancer Education
Aimed at Doctors
An unprepared medical student is
scud to have answered all examina
tion questions with "in the treatment
and diagnosis of this disease, there is
a great gap between theory and prac
tice." Out of
ignorance comes
a sad truth.
Unfortun ately
a I I physicians
cannot automat
ically and in
stantane ously
know the lat
est information
about cancer.
Lives may be
lost because of this gap.
Helping the general practitioner
keep abreast of new developments is
part of the task of the American Ccn
cer Society. More than a third of the
budget of its national office Is spent
in this fashion. Medical brochures on
cancer in important sites have been
sent at regular intervals to 125,000
physicians. Dramatic color teaching
films on early diagnosis are being pro
duced in cooperation with the Nation
al Cancer Institute.
To meet the need of the specialist,
a scholarly magazine CANCER is being
published. Planned for the near future
is a digest-type magazine that will
serve the physician who must read as
he rushes from call to call. Every year
some 70 promising medical students
receive American Cancer Society fel
lowships so they may continue their
work with special emphasis on cancer.
The American medical profession in
the first 50 years of this century has
made our people among the healthi
est in the world. You can help them
fight cancer by supporting the 1950
Cancer Crusade of the American Can
cer Society. Strike Back: Give to Con
