Dear Editor:
As President of Dillingham1 s newest and
most hopeful oommunit, -jrturo, The Youth {
Council, I have beer v J t. reply to a
recent publicized Bte.veme.v.t made by Mr*
Roman Malaoh, local school cup?rintendent*
This statement v/ns in essence congratu—
latcry and v/as seemingly offeri ng the com
plete cooperation of the school feculty.
It 1:: with regret that T seemed to hare not
re°d netween■the lines, and thereby mis
construed ^he meaning of the statement.
Proceeding on the strength of this pub
lic statement by our esteemed superinten
dent, at the suggestion of Mr. John Vining
who teaches the 7th grade in the Dilling
ham Territorial School, and I quote him:
,!Io avoid confusion at the general meet
ing (of the Youth Oouncil) 1 suggest these
nominations be handlea in the inuiviuual
class rooms* In this way all age b^oups
will have a panel of condidates to offer
and it will give the students further ex
perience in the Democratic Process*”
Thus balloting was carried on in thp
sohool building and during school time*
Th9 day of th^ Youth Council meeting
Mr* Vining was forced to come to me and
withdraw his plan of good assistance at
IIr» MalaoY^s insistanoe since Hr. Malech
considered this action an ”infringement”
