Howard K. Kershner, L.H.D.
\TTOKNEYS from Harrisburg,
Pa., and lialtimore, Md.
recently appeared before the
United States
Supreme Court
to argue that
'eachers should
bo allowed to
read the Holy
1; ibie in the
nation's public
schools.
The court’s
decision, expect
ed soon, could be
one of the most
celebrated in tne
history ot Ameri- Dr. Ker*lmer
can jurispru
dence. It could also set off as
explosive a reaction as anything
seen m this nation in recent
years.
The question before the court
Is a deep one: Is it constitutional
to read the Holy Bible in a public
classroom? Pennsylvania and
Maryland officials say it is. The
parents of the children who
brought the cases into court say
it is not.
Bast summer, the Supreme
Court ruled that it was unconsti
tutional for New York State to
require its students to recite a
prayer that had :>een written uy 4
I he state regents. Bat this week's I
case involves the Bible itself.
A Harrisburg, Pa., area mini
ster commented at the time of
the regents' prayer ruling:
"It is one thing for the United
States Supreme Court to ban the
use of a prayer composed by state
officials. But if they declare the
reading of the Holy Bible in the
schools unconstitutional, the
court will be striking at the
spiritual heritage of our nation.”
I wish more Americans reali
zed the urgent necessity of
s'l ong, immediate action to save
our freedom and our civilization.
Maury Hubbard of the Virginia
Farm Bureau -Federation has just
reminded us that for every child
in the world today who is being
taught something about Chris
tianity, four or live others are
being indoctrinated with the
Communist philosophy. It does
not take a clairvoyant to tell
what the outcome will be unless
we can reverse that situation
(jet in touch with some local
church or patriotic group in your
community and put your weight
to the side of our Judeo-Christian
civilization, freedom and self
government and against athei
stic communism and slavery.

blood from each caribou they
kill. Information leaflets, blood
vials, and plastic bags can be
obtained at the game check
station upon departure from
the hunting area.
Last year hunters were most
cooperative in collecting speci
mens, consequently the depart
ment was able to obtain bio
logical information on one out
of every five caribou killed,
game officials said. These
specimens are utilized in vari
ous studies on the Nelchina
herd and will enable the de
partment to determine which
age classes are capable of
breeding. Sexual cycles, length,
beginning and completion of
the breeding season are other
areas of inquiry. Any abnor
malities or disease of the re
productive organs are noted
and recorded. Information re
lating to the antaomy and phy
siology of the caribou repro
ductive system are also obtain
ed. The blood samples are pre
served and later tested for the
presence of certain diseases.
These data are also associated
with the age information to
check the status of different
age groups.
Only by continually check
ing and examining caribou can
the department maintain a cur
rent picture of the health and
status of the herd. This in turn
enables the department to in
telligently manage such an im
portant resource.
Tooth wear is checked on the
lower jaws and the informa
tion obtained is used to com
pute the age structure of the
hunter harvest i.e., which age
classes hunters are taking. This
information when compared
with data from past years pro
vides an insight to the hunting
pressure exerted on various
caribou age classes. The jaw is
also examined for any eviden
ces of disease or malformation.
Reproductive organs are ex
amined for information on pro
ductivity.

i local Farm Labor
Needs Surveyed
George Eldridge of the Alas
i ka State Employment Service
i conducted the yearly survey of
| the Matanuska Valley last
i week to determine employ
| ment needs of local farmers.
Following the survey, the Al
aska State Employment Ser
vice will again operate its
Farm Placement Office in Car
penters hall. The office will be
open mornings through Aug.
30, and beginning Sept. 3, will
be open from 7 a.m. until 1:30
p.m., Monday through Satur
day.
The survey has indicated
that the potato crop will be a
little earlier than last year,
with most growers expecting to
begin digging around Sept. 10.
It is anticipated that this will
result in a heavy demand at
one time for farm workers. Mr.
Eldridge stated that the Alas
ka State Employment Service
will make every effort to sup
ply workers needed.
Those farmers in the area
who may be in need of work
ers now may contact Eldridge
at the Alaska State Employ
ment Office in Palmer at the
Carpenters’ Hall, PI 5-3120, or
may call him at his home, FR
6-3065, after hours.
Eldridge asked that anyone
seeking employment as a farm
hand contact him at the Pal
mer office. There is no charge ■
connected with this service.

THE ALASKA FLAG UNE,
Which came
out the
opened door,
the Lady or
the Tiger!
In a far away country in a barbaric time there
lived a king whose justice was dispensed with bar
baric enjoyment. His system of justice depended on
the philosophy that a citizen suspected of crime
should be allowed to determine his own guilt or in
nocence in the public arena. If worked this way: the
’ prisoner would enter the arena, walk to the oppo
site end and open one or the other of two heavy
\ doors. Behind one would be pacing a ferocious tiger
instantly ready to tear him to bits. Behind the other
I would be standing a lovely maiden who would be
[ come his bride, should he choose to open her door.
|
One day the king discovered that a bold young
man of low birth had dared to love his daughter,
and that his daughter returned the young man's love.
\ This angered the king greatly, and so the young man
* was brought to trial for his offense- It happened that
the princess had just found out before the trial be
hind’which of the doors the lady and the tiger were
j stationed. So at his entrance into the arena she mov
! ed her hand quickly to signal him which door he
should open. What was her decision, do you sup
pose? Would she endure the agony of seeing him
married to another, or of watching his brutal death?
Which came out the opened door, the lady or the
tiger?
Conjecture on this subject is apt to be lengthy
and futile; and it would merely show, of course,
that emotion is not as reliable as fact. For an unemo
tional presentation of fact on the borough election,
you are invited to the Information Center arenas at
120 East 5th in Anchorage and at the borough in
formation booth at the Alaska State Fair, where jus
tice is attempted impartially and without any bar
barism at all.
One thing is certain: if you do accept our in
vitation, the door you open on September 17 will
release a political verdict that you have not left to
emotion or chance.
