Hard-Hit Bristol
Bay Area Residents
Will Receive Help
JUNEAU OP — George Sund
borg, administrative agent to Sen.
Ernest Gruening, conferred with
state and federal officials here
Thursday on means of helping the
hard-hit Bristol Bay area.
A disastrous red salmon season
on the bay has left many resi
dents of the area with the bleak
prospect of facing the long winter
months with little or no funds.
Sundborg wired State Sen. David
Harrison of Dillingham and Roger
Maves of the Dillingham Chamber
of Commerce suggesting a meet
ing there Saturday to find out
what can be done “to alleviate
the situation brought about by
failure of the salmon season.”
Sundborg said he plans to re
turn to Anchorage Sunday night.
He declined to speculate on the
type of help which might be ren
dered to residents of the Bristol
Bay area until after the meeting
in Dillingham.
In a wire to State Rep. Jay S.
Hammond of Naknek, Sundborg
said the state’s congressional dele
gation was “deeply” concerned
over the plight of Bristol Bay as
a tragic consequence of the last
days of federal fisheries control
under a Republican administration
when, as all Alaskans of the area
know, there was serious over
escapement of salmon.”
sunuoorg said Hammona, cnair
man of the Resources Committee of
the State House of Representatives,
had wired the state’s congression
al delegation and had blamed the
delegation, the Kennedy adminis
tration and the state administration
for the disastrous 1963 red season
on the bay.
“We do not underestimate effect
of Japanese deep sea fishing this
year under terms of the Interna
tional North Pacific Fisheries
treaty which was negotiated by
John Foster Dulles,” Sundborg
said.
“We have no desire to be par
tisan or political in approaching
problems of what can be done to
meet the serious challenge which
confronts western Alaska and I
mention involvement of your party
only to set the record straight in
view of the statement. . .
“You may rest assured the con
gressional delegation, whose emis
sary I am, will do everything pos
sible, in cooperation with federal
and state agencies, to rectify the
unfortunate legacy of federal
fisheries control in Alaska.”
Gov. Wm. Egan said, meanwhile,
that he is asking the Department
of Interior to send Burke Riley,
chairman of the Alaska Field Com
mittee, and a representative of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to
make a personal inspection in the
Bristol Bay area.
Egan said he would have Gary
Thurlow, his executive assistant,
accompany the federal party.
“I want them to come back
with a complete, joint report on
the situation on the bay,” Egan
said, “so we can have strength in
going to the President and asking
that Bristol Bay be declared a
disaster area.”
Egan said he hoped Thurlow
and the federal party could leave
Juneau for Bristol Bay within three
or four days.

Musical Instruction In
Schools Now Moves Up
And Out of “Frill” Range
School administrators’ views on
the teaching of instrumental music
has elevated the subject from what
once used to be considered a “frill”
to a study with far more than re
creational values, says the Ameri
can Music Conference.
Cited in support of this point is
the declaration by Dr. Ralph Lanz,
assistant superintendent of Los
Angeles public schools, that “the
disciplines children learn in music
are transferable to other studies,
often making better all-around
students.”
Similarly, Rev. Joseph Mytych,
director of music instruction for
the Catholic Archdiocese of Chi
cago, says: “We have found in
schools having an applied music
program that achievement ratings
and IQ ratings are decidedly ele
vated.”
Number of school age musicians
has increased by 300 percent in
the past 15 years, the conference
reports, and may reach the 11
million mark this year.
Leonard White, superintendent
of schools in Blackwell, Okla., re
ports that half of their high
school's 500 students participate in
musical programs.
Musical instruction in schools
now starts with simple rhythm
bands at the beginning level and
continues in many schools to the
point where there are now 15,000
school orchestras.
U.S. Savings Bonds
Chalk Up Record Sales
“U.S. Savings Bonds are enjoying
a banner year,” state director
Helen Fischer announced, when
reporting June sales of U.S. Sav
ings Bonds in the state reached
a record total of S372.220.
Mrs. Fischer attributed climb
ing sales to the recent national
freedom bond drive which asked
every Amrican family to buy one
or more extra bonds during the
drive as a personal action program
for keeping freedom in their fu
ture.
“State sales for the six-month
period of January-June, 1963,
amounted to $2,368,220.” Mrs.
Fischer continued, comparing this
with sales of $2,051,000 for the
same period a year ago.
“National holdings of U.S. Sav
ings Bonds are at an all-time high
of approximately $46 billion,” she
said, “making the bond program
of major importance in maintain
ing our nation’s economic sta
bility.”
