her time at home, which is
what she will do after Sept. 1.
In the meantime, Jack was
called to work last Monday as
a plumber at Point Barrow.

Basil Bryant visited at his
home for the weekend and
from his job on construction
at Tonsina. Young Basil was at
home, too, from a road job at
Mendeltna. He found that his
dog, a Boxer, had strayed away
or. more likely, been stolen
the week before. Usually peo
ple drop off dogs in this area,
but good-looking dogs are apt
to be picked up and carried off.

Mr. and Mrs. Karel Sisk, par
ents of Rose Moss, made an
other of their frequent visits
to the area. The Sisks operated
a western clothing store in
California before they came to
visit Alaska. As happened with
others, once here, they decided
to stay and found work in An
chorage.

Mrs. James Hurley, 1963 j
the Matanuska Valley unit of:
Cancer Crusade chairman for
the Matanuska Valley unit of
the American Cancer Society, j
said this week that although
the Crusade is nearing its goal j
of $1,000, time is growing short
to get contributions in.
Total contributions must be
forwarded to the Juneau office i
by Aug. 31, the chairman stat- i
ed.
Mrs. Hurley cited a number!
of recent cancer patients in the
valley who have received assis- ■
tance, both to defray treatment j
expense and the cost of trans- :
portation to treatment centers.
She also noted the tremendous
strides which research has j
taken in recent months toward
controlling the disease, point
ing out that a part of every
dollar contributed to the Cru- ;
sade goes into the research i
program.
Misfits who embark on the
sea of matrimony would be
better off if they had missed
the boat.

ATTORNEY SAYS WORLD PROBLEMS
BEST SETTLED THROUGH LAW
Conflict between nations
should be settled by legal pro
cesses, not by war, John Con
nolly, Anchorage attorney, said
yesterday at the Matanuska
Valley Chamber of Commerce
luncheon meeting in the Fron
tier Cafe.
This was the basic concept
of the “World Peace Through
Law'” conference held in Ath
ens last month, Connolly said.
“Our program has been crit
icised as being too idealistic,”
he stated. “However, no great
idea ever reached its objective
without overcoming great ob
stacles.”
He noted that Russia justi
fied its action in Hungary on
legal grounds, and saw this as
a step forward. Before that
time, Russia had never felt
called upon to justify any of
to actions
The world peace program
through law has to be sold
at the grass roots, he said
Heads of government must be
come convinced that the people
are willing to accept some rea
sonable restrictions of their ab
solute sovereignty.
"But this cannot be a unilat
eral action,” he said. "AIL gov
ernments would have to take
part.”
"I believe the world has no
choice but to find a peaceful
solution for its problems," he
concluded.
Can't Take It
Income tax time proves to
most people that they can’t
take their money with them—
1 it goes before they do.
