The Bible — Symbol of Unity
rpHE HOLY BIBLE continues to be, as it has been for many gen
erations, the best seller of all books published in the world!
In helping to further an interest in a reading and study of
the Great Book, the Laymen’s National Committee, Inc., asks that
we set aside the week of October 21st through 27th and recognize
it as National Bible Week. This year marks the 23rd in a long
and auspicious line of Bible Week observances. A timely theme has
been chosen: ' The Bible — Symbol of Unity.”
When we speak of unity in conjunction with the Bible it can
mean but one thing — the joining together of all faiths in a drive
to bring peace and understanding to all men in today’s troubled
world.
Let the Bible be a symbol of unity, both in family and nation.
— Grassroots Opinion —
Laeger, W. V., Industrial News: "In Russia, we learn from
a bulletin of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, neglect of farm
machinery has been made a criminal offense. It is not difficult
to understand the need for drastic steps. When the machinery be
longs to the State, and the land belongs to the State, and the crops
belong to the State, who cares what happens to any of them? . . .
American farmers, however, discovered for themselves long ago,
that neglecting their machinery is a crime — not against the State,
but against Nature and their own welfare — despite the quick
availability of parts at modest cost. ... In the sweat of thy brow,’
says the Good Book, 'shalt thou eat bread.’ But the Russians
wouldn’t know about that.”
CELINA, TEX., RECORD: "The federal government wants
to give Tyler, Texas, money on the grounds that the city is a
'depressed area.’
"Just how silly can politicians get? Tyler is one of the best
cities in Texas, and many Tyler people don’t like the implication
that their progressive, lovely city is seeking alms from the rest
of the country.”

Egan Says Japan Is
Ripe for Large
Seale Trading
JUNEAU 14* — There must be
an increasing flow of detailed in
formation to Japan if the pros
pect of more Alaska-Japan trade
is to be improved. Gov. William
A. Egan said Saturday.
Speaking before the 1963 meet
ing of the State Chamber of Com
merce, Egan said the importance
of good, factual information reach
ing the people in Japan able to
properly evaluate and act on it
cannot be overemphasized.
During a visit to Japan this
year, Egan said, he was constant
ly asked detailed questions about
Alaska's resources by Japanese
industrial executives.
Typical of this interest in Alas
ka. Egan said, was the recent for
mation in Japan of an Alaska Club,
composed of top executives of
many of the largest Japanese cor
porations and financial organiza
tions.
“Its objective is the promotion
of trade, economic and technical
cooperation with Alaska and the
adjacent areas of British Colum
biat and the Yukon,” Egan said.
Many of the raw materials now
shipped to Japan from far-off
places could be supplied by Alaska
at a lower cost, the Governor said.
For instance, he said, Japanese
importers last year were paying
an average price of $17.44 a ton
for Indian iron ore, while a recent
report indicated comparable Alas
kan iron ore could be made avail- ]
able in Japan for $15.40 a ton.
The Alaska side of the Alaska
Japan trade picture is equally pro
mising, Egan said, with a steady
growth in the population of the
49th State.
He said the Southeast Marine
Highway System would permit a
Japanese ship coming to Sitka for
pulp to unload consumer products
which could be distributed over
the ferry system to all cities in
Southeast.
“In effect,” Egan said, “a single
market of 35,000 people has been
created by the Marine Highway
System.”

Cheerleaders Cheer Bookworms
Alice Arnold of the Nome High
School Cheerleaders reports that
their recent pocket book sale was
quite successful. The cheer leaders
are $98 richer, and that much clos
er to their goal. Their plan is to
raise enough money to enable them
to accompany the Nome High bas
ketball team to Fairbanks when
the state tournament commences.
Miss Arnold stated that the
group is very appreciative for the
books donated to the sale and to
those who made purchases.
Plump widows have the best
chance of landing another hus
band — because their suitors, who
usually are middle-aged, figure
they are good cooks.
