WELCOMED, PTA
Dr. James C. Ryan, retiring
Commissioner ot Education whose
resignation is effective July 1, was
paid high tribute last night at the
final meeting of the school year
of the Parent-Teacher Association.
In the grade school auditorium,
where the assembly took ^lace,
Henry Harmon. former teacher
and now head of the Territorial
Welfare Department, spoke on be
half of the Association in praise
of Dr. Ryan’s past administration,
pointing out that through his ef
forts school districts had been es
tablished; his activity and interest
in teen-age work and the loss the
community will feel when he and
Mrs. Ryan move to Fairbanks
where Dr. Ryan will become super
intendent of schools.
Erick1 an Welcomed
"However," Harmon said, “if we
have to lose Dr. Ryan, the Parent
Teachers’ Association is thankful
that a man of the calibre and es
teem, as is enjoyed by Everett
Erickson, will take his place. We
welcome him most heartily as Com
missioner of Education."
Opening the Parent-Teachers'
program, the Junior Band, conduc
ted by Lyle Manson, played a group
of four lively numbers, followed by
numbers from the fifth grade and
eighth grade choruses. The choruses
were directed by Miss Marjorie
Iverson. All were splendid and en
thusiastically received by the au
dience. Their performances reflec
ted the ability of their instructors,
both of whom it is regretted, are
leaving the staff of the schools)
this year.

president of the P.-T.A., presided
over the business meeting. She in

its gift of a picture to the class at
the last P.-T.A. meeting.

Juneau Ski Club asking aid of the
P.-T.A. in promoting planned im
provements to the winter recrea
tion area on Douglas Island. On
the project is a new and enclosed
cabin at the first meadow where

it would afford Juneau's younger
group.

ing her term as president the past
year. Mrs. Jack Popcjoy then rose

CRIME CASE
FROM ALASKA
IS TAKEN UP
WASHINGTON, May 22 — UPl —
The Supreme Court agreed yesterday
to rule on the legal technicality that
overturned the rape killing convic
tion of an Alaskan still in prison
for the attempted rape of a second
woman.
Harvey L. Carignan, of Anchorage,
was convicted in the U. S. District
Court in Alaska and was sentenced
to death. He was accused of killing
Mrs. Laura A. Showalter on the
night of July 31, 1949.
The government said that while
Carignan was being held on another
charge of assault with attempt to
rape another woman, he voluntar
ily made admissions that he had at
tacked Mrs. Showalter. He was first
convicted on the rape attempt and
then of murder in Mrs. Showalter’s
death.
Carignan appealed the murder
conviction to the Circuit Court in
San Francisco. That court ruled the
alleged admissions were not admis
sable as evidence at the murder
trial because at the time they were
made Carignan had not been ar
raigned on the murder charge. On
that ground it set aside Carignan’s
conviction. The Justice Department
then appealed to the Supreme Court
to review the case and overturn the
Circuit Court ruling.
Meantime, the trial judge who
had stayed sentence on the rape at
tempt conviction, sentenced Carig
nan to 15 years in prison on that
charge. He is in jail at Seward,
Alaska.
The early Greeks believed cab
bage could keep a person sober. |
YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
Every day the Home Office
of the New York Life Insurance
Company receives a great
many applications for insur
ance from mothers. This indi
cates a very real need for life
insurance which I believe more
people ought to know about.
Many married women take
life insurance because they
realize that, in event of their
death, it will protect the hus
band from depleting his sav
ings or going into debt to pay
the costs of medical care and
final expenses. In addition, it
will help the husband to keep
the family together during the
difficult readjustment period
following her death. If the
mother outlives the father, the
same policy could increase her
funds for her own old age.

BUTLER'S ALASKA
RESOLUTION GOES
DIRECT TO COM.
WASHINGTON, May 22 — UFl —
A resolution demanding an investi
gation of a Republican senator's
charges that Federal agencies have
held up Alaskan development has
been sent to the Senate’s Interior
Insular Affairs committee.
The resolution, introduced yester- 1
day by Senator Butler of Nebraska,
asked the Senate to inquire into
what Butler called the government
policy of "withholding and reserv
ing from use the land, forest, min
eral and other resources” of Alaska.
Butler, who has opposed statehood
for Alaska, said "any discussion of
statehood is beside the point” until
Alaska’s resources are developed and
the Territory is opened to more in
dustries.
