A young North Carolina man
has been appointed manager in
the Anchorage office of the Alaska
Methodist College.
William S. Reasonover, 28, of
Lumberton, N. C., has been named
to the combination financial and
promotional position by the Divi
sion of National Missions of the
Methodist Church. The Division is
the sponsoring agency for the
Alaska College, which is tentative
ly scheduled to open in the fall of
1957.
Mr. Reasonover will manage the
financial opertions in Anchorage
and will be in charge of further
financial promotion and cultiva
tion throughout Alaska.
As the first of March, the Divi
sion of National Missions reported
that $2,574,352.21 for the college
either is on hand, pledged, or in
the form of estimated goals. That
includes $715,000 pledged in the
19 5 5 campaign in Anchorage,
$239,152.72 in cash in Philadelphia
and $1,620,199.49 in pledges and
accepted goals throughout the

NO EXTENSION IN TRAINING
SEEN FOR WORLD WAX II VETS
1 July 25, 1950, marts the end of
the 12-year-old education and train
ing program for all but a handful
of Warld War II veterans under
the GI Bill. Veterans Administra
tion has answered questions by
large numbers regarding further
training.
The question most frequently
asked is: “If I have unused GI
training entitlement, can I use it
after July 25, 1956?”
VA’s answer is "no”. Under the
law, no GI training may be provid
ed after July 25, even though a
veteran might have remaining en
titlement.
Another question is: “If a vet
eran is in the middle of a summer
term at school, can he complete it
even though it would carry him
past July 25? VA does not make
provisions for veterans who may
be in mid-course.
During the life of the World
War II GI Bill, more than 7,800,000
veterans—or one out of every two
who served in World War II—re
ceived GI training benefits. There
are 70,000 currently in training.

Men Hie Rescued
Three men are alive today des
pite the tact that their boat sank
from under them as they were re
turning to Kodiak with a load of
crab. They are Barney Corgatelli,
Victor Norton and George (Lucky)
Eckenberg, who were aboard the
JH, when the craft began taking
on water some distance off Long
Island, about 6 a. m. Monday.
Norton was seated in the galley,
when he noticed a slight list to
stern. He investigated and sum
moned the other men. The pump
was started, but was unable to cope
with the incoming water, believed
to be entering when the caulking
broke away. The afterwell was
taking in water, due to the list and
the heavy sea prevalent at the
time.
Norton then steered a course to
wards Long Island, which was a
half mile away. In the meantime,
an attempt was being made to get
the skiff ready for launching, by
one of the men. As the boat was
going full steam ahead towards the
island Norton spotted the Le Roy,
which was heading out to sea. Nor
ton then turned the JH towards
the Le Roy, but as the boat was
sinking fast, it was decided to ab
andon her. The skiff was launched,
but in doing so the stern was dam
aged. Corgatelli decided to use
the skiff regardless, the other two
remaining aboard the bigger boat.
But the small boat was unsea
worthy, and Corgatelli was plung
ed into the water, A little while
later Norton also jumped into the
icy water. He had on hip boots,
which he managed to kick off. Af
ter about fifteen minutes thrash
ing around in the water, the Le
Roy picked up the two men and
pulled along side the JH, which
was then about level with the
water, and Ekenberg managed to
jump aboard.
A Naval Station based Helicop
ter had appeared upon the scene
in answer to a radio call sent out
from the distressed ship earlier.
The Le Roy then sped to Kodiak
with the survivors, all none the
worse except for shock.
The JH, a 45 foot boat owned by
Cliff Hollifer, was skippered by
Barney Corgatelli. The latter has
fished these waters for many
years. This is his third water fa
tality. They had just returned
from a five weeks trip spent most
ly at the south end of the Island.
They had a load of crab estimated
to be about 12,000 to 15,000 pounds.
None of the men carried insurance
on their personal gear, and all
sustained heavy losses. The boat
was insured.
The rescuing ship, the Le Roy,
was skippered by Arne Sevold. It
is a Port Wakefield boat and the
skipper was heading out to the
crab fishing grounds when he
spotted the boat in trouble.
