Alaska School
Aid Increased
By $1,135,530
As schools reopened all over
the country this month, members
of Congress were also concerned
with their A, B, C’s.
The House voted to extend for
another two years two special
school laws enacted in 1950 for
school construction and operation
and maintenance assistance for
federally-impacted areas, which,
if sustained, could mean an esti
mated additional $2,271,060 for
Alaska.
Some of the provisions of the
1950 legislation were written
into permanent law and cover
so-called “A” category children
whose parents both reside and
work on federal property. Under
this category, Alaska, according
to estimates given Senator Bob
Bartlett by the Office of Educa
tion, is entitled to $7,129,970 for
the 1962 fiscal year for the oper
ation and maintenance and $2,
272,100 for construction.
The 1950 laws also included
assistance for so-called “B” cate
gory children whose parents eith
er reside on federal property or
wrork on federal property, but
not both, and “C” category chil
dren whose parents are employed
in activities of the federal gov
ernment carried on directly or
through a contractor and whose
enrollment in the public schools
of the applicant local education
agencies has resulted in a sub
stantial increase in the aggregate
enrollment of such schools. These
provisions of the original law
expired on June 30 of this year
and the assistance approved by
the House for another two years
covers these “B" and “C” cate
gory children.
This new legislation would en
title Alaska to an estimated ad
ditional annual $960,330 for
school operation and maintenance
and $175,200 for construction,
which adds up to $1,135,530 for
one year, or $2,271,060 for two
years.

Alaska Native
Hospital Opens
At Kotzebue
The new 50-bed, three million
dollar PHS Alaska Native Health
Hospital at Kotebue is in its first
week of operation. Formal dedi
cation of the hospital is expected
in the near future.
The transfer of all patients
from the old hospital to the new
was accomplished Sept. 19. The
people residing in the community
were invited to an informal open
house at the new hospital on the
same day with approximately 220
adults and 350 children visiting
the hospital.
According to Dr. K. Kasuga,
area medical officer in charge at
Anchorage, the new hospital will
make it possible for many native
pediatric patients in the Kotzebue
area to be treated closer to their
homes rather than be sent to
Anchorage for care.
When in full operation, it is
expected that the new hospital
will furnish services to 50 pa
tients and will have a staff of
76 including physicians, nurses,
dietitians and other professional
staff.
