Dear Constituents:
As I mentioned previously
we’ve been having morning ses
sions from 10 a.m. until noon
and committee meetings have
been held in the afternoons
and sometimes before 10 in the
mornings. The Health, Welfare
and Education Committee has
been interviewing personnel
from the Division of Health
and Welfare, i. e. Mr. Kraft.
Director of Vocational Reha
bilitation and Mr. Harmon,
Commissioner of Health and
Welfare. Jim Parsons is chair
man of the committee and in
my opinion is doing an excel
ing on the borough extension
any action on the bills before
us as we feel the people should
have sufficient time to voice
their opinions on the proposed ]
legislation.
I attended two Resource
meetings last week at which
time several minor bills affect
ing northwestern Alaska pass
ed through committee. A hear
or not the deadline is extended,
deadline bill, conducted by the
Senate Local Government
Committee, was an interesting
meeting. There were definitely
two points of view expressed,
pro and con. I strongly main
tain that something must be
done in this session, whether
down with the flu. I missed a
to solve the problems arising
as a result of the inequities of
our tax system. i
Quite a few legislators, in
cluding myself, have been
down with the flu. I missed a
couple sessions last week but
hope to be on duty this week.
My wife, Emma Dell, has come
to Juneau for a brief visit. Her
flight from Anchorage had to

turn back Saturday because of
overcast at Juneau, but they
made it in on Sunday. This is
her first trip to Southeastern
Alaska. Our daughter Emagene
has been working part time at
the Capital, as my secretarial
demands upon her have not as
vet been enough to keep her
busy.
My thanks for the communi
cations from District 7 expres
sing your opinions and needs.
Please keep them coming—I
need to keep close contact with
you whom I represent. Later on
a week-end in March—I plan a
trip home, at which time I’ll
confer with many of you per
sonally.
Your public servant,

Dear Editor:
We are grateful to Bernie
Bouwens and the ?4oose Lodge
for the use of their tables and
chairs at Park Prance on Feb.
16. We would like to thank
Harold Dunn and the Elks

and chairs.
We are most appreciative of
the help that was given by Bill
Hayes in hauling hay for this
Prance and the use of Ben Wat
turn’s truck to return the hay
to Noel Woods who was kind
enough to let us use this hay
to give the armory a barn-like
appearance.
We also owe thanks to John

their help in returning the tab

Thanks are also due to the
