Clean-Up Campaign
tpHE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN is half over and Nome is half
**• cleaned.'
Spring Clean-Up. has been observed in Nome for over 60
years and every citizen has been asked to clean-up his property
with the assistance of the city which takes care of the pick-up.
Some have cleaned-up and sonic nave hot. when YOUR
yard is clean the job is only half done. Your property still
doesn’t look good if your neighbor has failed to catch the clean
up bug, so its your job to encourage him.
It’s Very easy to do the job, it’s just getting started. Throw out
those old paint cans, old paint brushes, oil rags, and whatever
it is, but do throw it out and reduce the fire hazard.
Let’s beautify oUr community by not only cleaning the bade
yard, but the empty lots, community and church buildings.
Many strangers will pass through Nome this year. Let their
report to the nation be that the best town in Alaska is an
id cleanliness.

TEDDY ON AUTOMATION
FOUND this one in a Canadian paper —- The Thame
(Ontario) Herald. We hadn’t seen it before, and if
have, please don’t stop us.
It seems Teddy Roosevelt, who probably never heard of
"automation,” had an answer for critics who said it Would reduce
the number of jobs.
While he was watching steam shovels scoop up the earth at
a dam site, someone remarked: "Think of Che jobs .we would
create if we put men in there with shovels, feh Teddy F’
"Yes,” replied Teddy scathingly, "and We could multiply
that number by thousands if we equipped them with teaspoons.”

CONGRESSIONAL GOPS
ATTACK JFK's DOMESTIC
AND FOREIGN POLICIES
WASHINGTON W* — Congres
sional Republicans approved yes
terday a declaration of party prin
ciples for this year’s election cam
paigns and coupled it with a broad
side attack on the Kennedy ad
ministration domestic and foreign
policies.
The 2,500-word statement called
for a thorough overhaul of the tax
system, without specifically men
tioning tax reduction, and for “a
new direction for public policy
in order to advance the cause of
freedom at home and throughout
the world.”
Firing directly at President Ken
nedy, the Republicans said:
“The oft-heard campaign cry,”
‘Get America moving again’, has
become a hollow echo.”
The statement entitled “a decla
ration of Republican principle and
policy,” also said:
“The current administration has
shown little understanding of, or
concern for, institutions that but
tress freedom —- separation of
the powers, checks and balances,
state and local responsibility, and
a free competitive economy.
“It has demonstrated neither the
wit nor the will to meet effectively
the assault of International Com
munism on freedom.”
The document in intended as a
handbook for the 1962 Congression
al election campaigns.
It was drafted by a 12-member
Senate-House committee after con
sultation with party leaders which
included former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower.

Letter
To The Editor
Dear Sir:
In regard to the second para
graph of the Nugget editorial for
June 4, I quote: “He probably has
never visited a community which
has the litter and filth piled up
for eight months of the year, before
anything could be done about it.”
Why can’t something be done
about it? There are sanitary serv
ices available plus dozens of sleds
that could be used to haul away
this filth and litter all winter long
and then we would not need to
be ashamed of Nome in the spring.
What is needed is a little pride in
the appearance of our homes plus
some old fashioned elbow grease.
Not this waiting for someone else
to do it. Let’s all help ourselves
and so help Nome, so it’s appear- j
ance at anytime of the year, needs j
no apology. Let’s have clean-up
time all year long and not only
two weeks every spring.
Nome would be healthier too
if there weren’t so much debris
scattered all over.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Allan G. Doyle

Rep. Mark Jensen
Says Alaska Needs
More Pay Checks
JUNEAU (M — “What Alaska
needs is more employment checks,”1
said State Representative Mark
Jensen yesterday, taking excep
tion to the stand of Henry Hcd
berg, AF of L labor leader. Hed
berg has said in the last few days
that Alaska is falling behind in its
standards of unemployment bene
fits.
“Hedberg wants to increase the
cost of the unemployment security
program,” Jensen said. “Rut the
legislation in Congress supported
by Sens. Gruening and Bartlett
and Rep. Rivers is against the
whole idea of increased costs at
this time. Even though Alaskan
consumers and employers are pay
ing into the fund at three times
the national average rate, the fund
still does not have enough surplus
to begin to pay back borrowed
money.”
In response to Hedberg’s accu
sation that both parties had failed
in producing legislation with suf
ficient benefits, Jensen pointed out
“the majority of the Democratic
legislators hesitated to increase
costs of the program when the
program was $9,000,000 in the
hole. If a man is about to lose his
home because he hasn’t met pay
ments on it, it isn’t common sense
to go out and buy a new car —
which is what Hedberg wants.”
Turning to the charge by Hed
berg that business should not ob
ject to paying increased rates be
cause it makes a profit from the
unemployment check, Jensen said,
“If this were true, then nobody
should work, everybody should re
ceive unemployment checks, and
we really want employment checks
instead of unemployment checks,
we can’t go in the opposite direc
tion and make Alaska a worse
place to work and have a business
by increasing costs and driving
business out of the state.”
