The Girl Scouts had a Hallow
een party. We bobbed for apples
and played lots of games. The
party was planned as a surprise
by Sharon McCartney, Rossann
Branton and Carla Driggers..
For the past few weeks we have
been painting with textiles. Mrs.
Audrey Linnebur came to one
of our meetings to help us and
show us how to use them. We all
think it is a lot of fun working
with textiles.
We had been looking for a new
leader for a long time and last!
week Mrs. Madaris, our leader,
found a new one to help her out.
he is Mrs. Hughes.

PIONEER HONORED FOR
OVER 50 YEARS OF SERVICE
Antonio Polet, grand old man of
Nome, was honored this week for
more than half a century of ser
vice to the development of North
eastern Alaska.
Because the 71-year-old pioneer
is still recovering from the effects
of a recent operation, “Tony” was
unable to be present in person at
Fairbanks where his many years
of endeavor for the Territory!
were saluted in ceremonies con-!
ducted in the Fourth Division
court chambers.
But the word of how an en- j
graved plaque of tribute was ac- j
cepted on his behalf by his son
Alvin, district traffic and salesj
manager for Pan American World
Airways at Fairbanks, reached j
Tony in Seattle, where he is rest
ing at the home of a sister.
The plaque, a gift of the mem
bers and staff of the Alaska De-1
velopment Board, was bestowed,
in the words of the engraving on
its face, “in recognition of half a j
century of service in advancing j
the development of Northwestern j
Alaska.”

building for a greater Alaska
Birth of a pulp industry in Alaska is a great
step toward a brighter future for the Territory.
Alaska has long needed new industries and more
population. The decision of the Ketchikan Pulp
Company to build a pulp mill near Ketchikan
is important news to every Alaskan. It is the
beginning of a greater diversification of industry
in the Territory and will mean steady employ
ment and an increase in Alaska’s permanent
population.
The Alaska Salmon Institute welcomes this
great new industry to the Territory. The Alaska
salmon industry—historically the Territory’s
heaviest taxpayer — has a personal stake in
Alaska’s future.
Because nature dictates when Alaska salmon
can be caught and processed, the salmon in
dustry is seasonal. But, with the advent of the
Ketchikan Pulp Company and the possibility
of an aluminum plant at Skagway, the Terri
tory is beginning to build a more stable econ
omy based on year around payrolls and an
increased permanent population.
i Write today for your copy of "Welcome to
Alaska,” a colorful 12-page booklet crammed 1
with information about Alaska. At the same
time, ask for a copy of "Alaska’s Salmon In- :
dustry.” We’ll send the booklets to you and to
friends and relatives outside. Address inquiries
to Box 893, Ketchikan.
