Teacher· Sees Frontier 1n Alaskan Territory • BY HERB WILLIAMS After living up in Nome, A.iaska for the past year and teachir:g in the elementary school, I find i'. has been a ,real adventurt> br me and a very successful o.r~e.

It was his first teaching assignment and he has a.llready signed his 1952-53 contract. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Belvin Williams, /2~03 N. E. 7th avenue. 1 eached by air the year around, but from October to May the water is frozen and the boat::; are only able to come to Nome from June to September.

Armond Walker ot the Fifth Episcopal district has returned Reverend Jesse L. Boyd to Bethel AME church for at least another year. This action took place at the recent AME conference in Spokane, Washington. The Churches reported $5,- 402.24 for general church use and local expansion. rirlines and the Alaskan Steamship Company .for their neerls. The population of Nome at the present is 1700, living on the site of the once famous boom mining town at the turn of the century which at the highlights HERB WILLIAMS Prices high in Alaska were 45 pupils in the high school. I was assigned the 7th and 8th grades which had a combined attendance of 37 student of ·which 24 were girls. We covered the same assignments and subjects as the pupils here in the states, but you have to go into more detail explaining many things that the children ·up there know little about. Spelling is the subject the students like the best and you find some very good spell~rs ;n 'he school. There were thirteen teachers in the school, nine in the elementary and four in the high school. No Greenery You mention living in Alaska ' when talking to people here anti the first thing they wonder :tbout is the cold weather. In Nome you won't see any trees or green grass the year around. The ciay I left there early in Augus!; it was 47 degrees and arriving here m Portland it was 101 degrees, t,uite a difference when you are used to the cool weather. If the mercury reaches up into the high uf the gold rush numbered 30,- ::.ixties during the summer the citizens think it is a heat wave. elementary school I Last winter the 'coldest day I students and then~ J kept record of was 37 degrees be000 people. The Nome had only 250 low zero. The climate is a dry cold and it doesn't take long to get used to the change of weathE:r or climate. The averag'= tem · perature during the wiJlter was 10-15 degrees below. One thing unusual a persrm finds in living in the far north is the beautiful Northern Lights that flash across the sky at night, they are really a sight to see. On the shortest day of the year, the sun shines from 10:15 it• the morning and sets at 2:15 in the afternoon. In the summer there is quite a change b~cause of the 24 hours of daylight. The sun rises on the longest day of the year about 1:45 in the morning and sets at 10:15 that evening. With 24 hours of continuou~ daylight for a few weeks, it was a little hard to adjust to going to bed at the right time and when to get up. Prices High A few household items for the women might be the food problem, you would have to ±igure that everything you bought here will cost twice as much LIP in Nome. For a few exampues: tt"ead 55c a loaf, fresh milk flown in 75c a quart, T-bone steak $1.47 a pound, weiners $1.10 a pound, a ran of tomatoes 49c or canned corn 35c, ice cream 90c a quart. As for businesses then~ was one local theater, a barber shop that charges $2.00 for haircuts, a beauty parlor, eight churchei", two grocery stores, a few bars, thr~e hotels, small ones of COJH'se, drug store, federal building tha~ is used for the post office and mail, fire station and we have a paper which is published three ~imes weekly, 15c a copy. As for civic organizations, there are the Chamber of CQmmerce, Rotary and Toastmasters. There are a number of women's :::ncial clubs. I became a member of Toastmasters when they organized a chapter early in February. Negro Population Small Last count, there were :;even Negroes in town this summer and there were several more stationed at the army air base. There is also one other colored teacher who taught last year at Kotzebue about 150 miles north of Nome. There is lots of skiing in the winter and a little ice skating, the natives work on fur pieces and ivory carvings during the winter. After the ice is gone, there is plenty of fishing and the natives hunt walrus and sr::al. Incidentally there are no igloos in or around Nome. There are hardly any outdoor games for the children to play like they have down here. Basketball is the main sport in school, the girls like to play indoor softbail 1 and kickball. Choosing to return to Norne for a second year of teaching is based upon liking the far northland. The people have made me feel right at home and have he:ped me in every way they could. I find Alaska the new fronti<c'r fer B thPl will host next year';.. conference here in Portland. The confe!'ence also held a special Douglas hospital rally which netted $600.00. Douglas hospital is the only Negro hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, and is supported enhrely by this district. Volume 1, Number 9 PORTLAND, OREGON, AUGUST 22, 1952 PRICE 10 CENTS I me.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Looking back upon all the unavailing heat and furor of the recent political conventions, one sees very little salvablt< evidence to either assuage the conscience of or satisfy the deep-founded desires of Americans disposed to or longing for civil rights legislation. The Republican party practically ignored considering universal FEP as a plank. On this account the Democratic convention became beholden to civil rights legislation but by some very adroit politics, it would seem, became, instead, bitterly embroiled otherwise. We can take heart, however, in the fact that there was demonstrated a good deal of political consciousness of civil rights; moreso than in any other convention year. It is a definite-though small sign of progress-in the great fight and considering the intricacies of political functioning-in this case party unity, states rights and the filibuster-it becomes difficult to imagine universal civil rights legislation becoming a reality overnight. The 87-year-old record of the American Negro reveals amazing progress, but it is also compiled of many small gains, which, when considered separately, show little significance. And so let it be with the 1952 civil rights planks. In terms, however, of a more enlghtened and greater public consciousness minority Americans do stand closer to the realization of their great project.

PORTLAND CHALLENGER Bogle Says: Friday, August 22, 1952 STEVENSON BEST CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT Delegales Relurn From Conference -------BY RICHARD BOGLE Home from attendance dt the My own personal choice in the 28th biennial convention of the coming election for president is National Association of Colorer:! Adlai Stevenson. There are many Ex-Porlla ders Schedule Visil Pleasurable anticipation of the expected visit to Portland by Mr. and Mrs. George L. Thomas is being shared locally by many persons of many different groups. Mr. Thomas was executive secretary of the Department of Interracial Relations of the Portland Council of church anJ has continued in that capacity for the Congregational churchf!s jn Los Angeles. Mr. Thomas comes to Portland at this time to take pari as a speaker at the second annu'll interdenominational institute on recial and cultural relations scheduled for August 25 to 29 at Reed college. Held at Menucha last year, the institute is under sponsorship of the National and Portland Councils of churches. Discussions will deal with housing, integrated churches and international aspects of race and cultural relations. Both Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were active in the civic life of this community. Mr. Thomas was president of the local branch of the NAACP and was one;)of the first Negro members of Portland's City Club. Mrs. Thomas .vas a board mem1er of the YWCA, a devoted worker in the Congregational church and gave much of her time as a speaker to various women's clubs and church groups. The annual Democratic picnic, to be held for the first time in a public park, has been tentatively scheduled for September 7, it was announced by Portland realtor Herman Plummer, executive board member of the Oregon Democratic central committee. Purpose of the site shifting is to make it possible for Negro Democrats to attend the picnic where there is no discriminatory policy. Last year the Democratic picnic was held at Jantzen Beach park where there is a discriminatory policy, and for this reason many Negroes refused to attend. No Definite Location Definite location for the picnic has not yet been announced, said Plummer, but it has been decided that the picnic will be held Carmen Walker Gets 'Y' Position Mrs. Carmen Walker has accepted the position of assistant program director in the Y-teen department of the Portland YWCA. Mrs. Walker's offices will be at the Central YWCA but she will work directly vrith Y groups in the schools of the city. Her marriage to Wilson Walker, a case worker at Fraser Home for Boys, and the rearing of their two small daughters has filled the interim for Mrs. Walker since her work as Community Services director at Vanport. Her four years at Vanport gave her opportunity to do recreational work also in the project. Prior to her experience at Vanport, Mrs. Walker was a nursery school teacher in Chicago, her first real position following her graduation from Alcorn A & M college in Alcorn, Miss. Mrs. Walker expects to assume her duties this week. Miss Casey Gets School Position Miss Marcelline Casey, recently arriving from St. Louis, Missouri, has been assigned position as dayto-day regular substitute elementary teacher and as day-to-day substitute secretary with the Portland school system, it was announced. Miss Casey, who resides with her aunt, Mrs. Aldridge Johnson, 623 N. Morris street, graduated from Stowe Teachers' college in St. Louis in June, 1951, where she received a B.A. degree in Education. Having been here since July 30, Miss Casey registers a quite favorable impression of Portland, commenting that she has been duly impressed with the beautiful scenery, fine homes, and particularly by the wealth of opportunity for young people. what leadSeptember 7 because of the probability that Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson will be present on that date. Heretofore the annual affair has always been staged at various privately owned parks of th1s area. It has been the custom of these owners, stated Plummer, to lift color bars for the specific date of the picnic. Oaks Park Bigoted This year members of the committee proposed that if Oaks amusement park would permanently lift its color bar they would hold the picnic there. They were refused. It was decided then that the picnic would be held at a public park. Herman Plummer is a Democratic candidate for the Oregon State Legislature's House of Representatives.

August 22. 1952 Kots Prove Too Much For Apes in 8 to I Win Prep Stars Hustle for Shrine Tilt Paint by Jennings With Bob Herndon's brilliant three-hit pitching leading the way, Kappa Alpha Psi romped over an athletic-shy Alpha Phi Alpha nine 8-1 Sunday at Columbia park. . The climax of the annual Alpha-Kappa picnic, the game held little consolation for the losing Alphas as they watched "Bullet Bob" set down 16 brothers via the strikeout route. It was the second successive win for the Kappas in the softball series. And they wasted little time in getting to Alpha's l moundsman lefty Wilson Walker. Alert base running by Art Shepherd and Herndon accounted for two runs in the second inning. Score Two Runs They tallied twice more in the fourth and once in the fifth. A spectacular running catch by A Phi A's Ted Burger of Shepherd's line drive to deep right center field choked off any more wouldbe Kappa runs in the fifth. Burger's fine stab came with the bases loaded. Although the Kaps scored two more runs in the sixth inning, : fine defensive work by Bennie Hamilton and Carl Deiz stopped another Kappa rally. Strikes out 16 Alphas It wasn't until the Kappas had scored their eighth and final run that the Alphas came to life. Hamilton's screeching drive to left field-by far the hardest hit ball of the game-was good for a double in the ninth.
