Some Sound Advice
¥\R. I'UhO NORBY, who recently resigned the office of first
-* State Commissioner ot 1 dotation, gave some sound advice
upon leaving his post, showing the need of a boarning school
here not only for the coming vocational school hut for students
who should he attending Nome High School.
He pointed out that more Alaskan children should go to
school longer and three-fourths of the native children never enter
high school if they wanted to which makes the drop out rate
much too high.
If there was a hoarding school here and in Kotzebue near
the homes of the children much of this could he avoided.
If less time and monev was spent on surveys and more em
phasis on getting the boarding schools bv the BIA whose respon
sibility is to assist these people get an education, the sorry educa
tional pattern of the average child could be improved. The
brightest, the cream is picked up and shipped awav for schooling,
but the average student doesn't get his share in the present
program.

CAB Refuses
To Postpone
Investigation of Air
|Serviee to Alaska
WASHINGTON UP — The Civil
i Aeronautics Board refused vester
| day to postpone its investigation
of air service between the Pacific
: Northwest and Alaska pending a
j court test by Pan American World
Airways.
Denying Pan American’s motion
to stay its order of last March If)
setting up the investigation, the
Board said matters of serious pub
lic interest are continuing and
“possibly worsening" as to the air
transportation pattern to and from
Alaska.
It said these public interest fac
tors heavily outweigh the mone
tary costs that Pan American
j might incur in connection with the
| investigation.
| Pan American has brought suit
| in the U S. District Court here
I seeking an injunction against that
i part of the CAB order that would
j investigate possible elimination of
j Pan American’s Alaskan route —
! a route between Seattle and Ket
chikan, and Fairbanks.
The CAB said Pan American
contends the Board lacks authority
to eliminate Pan American’s Alas
kan route.
me tsoara said it may or may
not roach a similar legal conclu
sion when the case is submitted to
it, but added “as of this time” it
! is asserting authority to take the
action of which the airline has
complained.
The CAB also decided to con
solidate in the investigation an
application of Pan American and
Wien Alaska Airlines for approval
of a transfer of Pan American’s
Juneau - Whitehorse - Fairbanks
route to Wien.
Another application consolidated
' into the investigation was one by
I Alaska Airlines for a route between
| Juneau, Whitehorse and Fairbanks.
The Board denied a petition of
Northern Consolidated Airlines for
enlargement of the scope of the
proceeding to include the issue of
possible suspension of service by
Alaska Airlines between Anchor
age and Nome by way of McGrath
and Unalakleet.

| $40,500 I OR STUDY OF
NATIVE ARTS AND CRAFTS
WASHINGTON </P> — The Area
Redevelopment Administration an
nounced yesterday its grant of
$40,500 to finance study of the ex
pansion of native crafts and arts
in Alaska.
The feasibility study, carried
out in cooperation with the Bu
reau of Indian Affairs, is to be
completed by the Institute of Busi
ness, Economics, and Government
al Research at the University of
Alaska. The Bureau of Indian Af
fairs will provide $10,000 worth
of services for the project to sup
plement the administration’s as
sistance grant.
The economy of many native
villages and Indian-occupied areas
j of Alaska should be benefited by
an expansion of arts and crafts
production which provides virtu
ally the whole income of many re
mote villages, the administration
j said.
I The C o m m e r c e Department
Agency estimated that 15,000 to
25,000 Eskimos and others will
benefit if the program proves suc
cessful. It is one of 15 projects
being assisted with Redevelopment
Administration funds to foster
economic enterprises on Indian re
servations and Alaskan villages.

PRIZI WINNING NOVI !.LSI
WILLIAM FAULKNLR, DUS
j OXFORD, Miss. IF — Author
William Faulkner, whose chronicle
of the fictional Mississippi coun'.y
of Toknapatawpha brought him
the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, died
of a heart attack today.
Faulkner, who was (14, had re
turned here some weeks ago from
the University of Virginia where
he had spent much of his recent
years as a lecturer in American
literature.
Faulkner became the fourth
American to win the Nobel Prize
for literature, when he received
the 1949 award in 1950. In 1955,
he won the Pulitzer Prize for his
religious allegory ‘‘A Fable.”
The superlative storyteller al
ways considered himself a profes
sional farmer rather than a write".
He operated a 366-acre farm near
the university town.
His latest novel, “The Reivers.”
was published only a short time
ago and appears to be headed f r
the best-seller lists.
The shy Faulkner seldom gave
interviews to newsmen, but he
used to buy space in the weekly
newspaper at Oxford to express
his views on current local issues
of the day to his neighbors.
Once he told a newsman in New
Orleans: “If I had my life to live
over again? Why, youngster, 1
reckon I'd be a woman or a tramp.
They don't have to work so hard.”
“Sanctuary,” published in 1931.
was his most popular—and most
shocking novel. Faulkner said he
deliberately set about producing a
pure horror story with the aim of
making money in writing it.
Faulkner’s stories dealt with the
Southern scene, but he frequently
explained that he was not con
cerned with regional problems but
with human problems.
Faulkner said he didn’t like
work, and then observed: “What
else are you going to do. You
can’t drink eight hours a day. Or
make love. Work’s about the only
thing a fellow has to do to keep
from being bored.”
