Anchor Point Discards
One Schoolhouse, Starts j
To Build Another
In just one short year the com- 1
munity of Anchor Point on the c
Kenai Peninsula has outgrown [
its home-made schoolhouse and 5
must have another. Told last "
year that the Territory had no J
funds to build a school at Anchor c
Point, residents rolled up -their '
sleeves and built their own.
Now the men of the community 1
are making bigger work-ready ;
motions, and they’ll build a 40x24 c
frame structure this summer. >
They hope it will last for two ;
seasons, but if it doesn’t, the An- ,
chor Point citizens will be school- -
house-constructing again, at this ;
time next summer.
Korean War Began
In Seventeenth Century,
Historian Declares
The present “Korean incident”
is but another step in the Russian
expansion program which began
in the seventeenth century, Dr.
Kenneth Bjork, professor of his
tory at a Minnesota college, told
members of Juneau’s Lions Club
recently. Dr. Bjork says that Rus
sian objectives haven’t changed
much in all of that time, either—
Persian oil is just as desirable to
day as it has always been, even
if the name has changed to Iran.
The historian advanced the the
ory that the attack on Korea was
a “feint” planned to draw atten
tion there while Russia reached

MUSIC
ut somewhere else, possibly in
Jermany, Turkey, the Balkans,
ndia or the Straits countries.
The historian warned that there
3 need to realize the seriousness
if the situation and to prepare for
t. He commented that a very
imilar warning, given to another
jions Club in 1934 against the
[angers of Hitlerism, received
'ery little attention. Dr. Bjork
inds, however, that there is great
nterest in the present-day move
ind a general “awareness of con
litions” throughout the world.
