During the same period $813,
589 was reserved for construc
tion in federally impacted aTeas,
including $79,952 for an addi
tion to the elementary school at
Nome, $25,642 for an elementary
school addition at North Pole,
$36,951 for a high school addi
tion at Nenana, $286,000 for a
high school addition at Tok Junc
tion, $22,044 for an addition to
the elementary school at Ninil
chik, and $363,000 for a new ele
mentary school at Kenai.
Since the two laws were passed
in 1950 and through June 30 of
this year, $33,453,290 has been
made available for operation and
maintenance of federally impact
ed schools in Alaska and $27,
114,564 for construction of on
base military schools and local
schools.
With the expected two-year ex
tension, Alaska’s estimated en
titlement will be $8,090,300 for
operation and maintenance for
each of the 1962 and 1963 fiscal
years or $16,180,600 for two
years, according to infoimation
given Sen. Bob Bartlett by Of
fice of Education officials, and
the yearly construction entitle
ment will be $2,447,300, or $4,
894,600 for the two years.
The addition of such funds to
those already made available un
dec the two programs would mean
that Alaska’s entitlement from
1950 through 1963 fiscal year will
lie in the neighborhood of $81,
643,054.

cent share in oil, gas and coal

The large share by the State

possible through a Bartlett bill
enacted in 1957, a provision
which was later written into
statehood law. Between July 10,
1957, and June 30, 1961, Alaska
realized $14,622,183 in oil and
gas revenues and $313,789 in
coal revenues for a grand total
of $14,935,972.

company must put in three ex

for the Alaska Railroad. The firm
hid $258,500.

Mile Post 74 when he had to

a .22 rifle with him he took it
ar.d climbed out. However, not
far from the car he changed his
mind upon seeing the two bears
had stopped and were eyeing him
eui iously. As he hastened back
towards the car, he glanced back
and one of the furry fellows had
decided to take a closer look—

flight stumbled and let out a
v/arwhoop! As he clambered in:
the car, he saw the bears taking
off over the rise. Mr. Sparks
