Alaska Plans Exhibit
For Century 21 Exposition
Alaska will participate in next
year’s Century 21 Exposition at
Seattle.
Gov. William A, Egan said to
day he has advised officials of
the National Bank of Commerce
in Seattle who earlier had offered
to make space available to Alas
ka without charge in a building
which it is erecting on the expo
sition grounds.
Egan gave the go-ahead to Al
aska’s participation after receiv
ing favorable expressions from a
majority of each house of the Al
aska Legislature to his request
that members indicate their will
ingness to support appropriations
up to $175,000 to finance Alaska’s
part of the exhibit.
The Governor said he had re
ceived unqualified approval of the
proposal from 25 members of the
-10-member house and 12 of the
20-member senate. In addition,
four House members and three
Senators approved Alaska’s par
tcipation but expressed qualifica
tions as to the cost factor. One
other House member replied to
the poll but took no position.
Officials of the Century 21 Ex
position, which is to open next Ap
ril and run six months, have es
timated probable attendance as
high as ten million persons. It
has been supported heavily by the
federal government and a number
of foreign nations will also par
ticipate in the exhibits.
While costs of Alaska's partici
pation, exclusive of the display
space being provided by the Se
attle bank, have been estimated
at a maximum of $175,000, a por
tion of this is expected to be met
by contributions from individuals
and industry.
A number of firms have indi
cated thuir willingness to assist
financially and by donating cer
tain services, although no effort
to obtain commitments of this na
ture has been made pending de
cision on the question of partici
pation.
Present preliminary planning
calls for Alaska’s presentation to
include a portrayal of its past,
present and future through use
of dianamic displays and exhibits.
A central feature will be a large
map of Alaska so illuminated as
to provide ready reference during
a narration of Alaska’s history
and potential.
A reproduction of the Aurora
Borealis will be used to highlight
the presentation.

second time at 8 p.m. on Wednes
day. Dec. 6, at the officers’ club
at Wildwood Station. The pro
gram will include a film concern
ing emergency treatment in time
of disaster.
The initial session for the group
was on the evening of Nov. 8 at
an open meeting held in the
Ridgeway home of Shirley (Mrs.
George) Denison.
■Mrs. Bernadine Mutch, presi
dent of the Alaska Nurses Assn.,
came from Anchor Point at that
time to explain the advantages
of belonging to the state associ
ation and to assist the group in
organization. There were thirteen
nurses present.
Due to the fact that there are
not enough active nurses in the
Peninsula area as yet to formally
organize as part of the associa
tion the group decided to contin
ue meeting in an informal way.
Ruth Tewes, public health
nurse at Kenai, was elected as
chairman and Ruth Hursh as sec
retary. Purpose of the group is
to become better informed re
garding recent developments in
nursing. Meetings are to be held
on the first Wednesday evening
of each month.
It also was announced by Mrs.
Mutch that a workshop is being
planned for February at which
time nurses may take brushup
courses on new techniques. The
workshop is open to any nurse
wishing to attend whether or not
she attends local group sessions.
Those attending the first meet
ing were Elizabeth Meadows, B.
Weller, Dianne Thomas. Marge
Madden, Shirley Denison, Helen
Stetzer, Ruth Tewes, Bernadine
Mutch, Ruth Hursh; and Maj.
