But the opportu nity is there only for those with enough money to exploit it or the ability to sustain themselves until they get a foothold in their new home. Alaska already has its share of people who are either on welfare or drawing unemploy ment compensation for part of the year because of seasonal jobs. Proof of this is the fact the new state legislature is faced with the problem of paying back some $8,000,000 to the near Stuttgart, Germany. He is the son of Central Point City Mayor and Mrs. Freeman Mason. His wife and daugh ter, Angelica, arrived in Cen tral Point recently and re mained ' to . visit here until Mason's discharge from the Army. -They will be making their home in Central Point where ,Mason has taken a po sition with Howard Cooper corporation. Visitors at the Dominic Tate home have been Mrs. Tate's brother and family, Com mander and Mrs. H. E. Brown and daughters, Lucille and Peggy, of Rio Vista, Calif. A camp-out trip near Meadows on Evans creek was enjoyed by the Browns, Mr. and Mrs. Tate and children, Florence and Johnny, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Marshall, Bob and Sheryl, and" Mr. and Mrs. Jess Reeves arid daughter, Hope. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lance of Central Point are parents of a baby boy' born July 14 in Rogue Valley hospital, Med ford. The baby weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces. He has been named M i c h a el W a y n e. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Abbott of the Old Stage rd. and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lance of Gold Hill. Mr. and Mrs Bert Cook have moved from Alder st. to their new home on Bush st.

After the business 'session, cake and punch were served. . lime Federal government for loans issued so that state jobless benefits could (fontinue for workers in occupations such as construction or mining. Since the passage of the statehood bill in June of 1958, thousands of words-have been written for worldwide con sumption about Alaska's fab ulous storehouse-of resources, its free land and its colorful population. The resources are here but they will remain locked in the earth's surface until large amounts of . money from in vestors not intereste'd in turn ing a quick buck arrive on the scene with sufficient capi tal to make, the mountains and glaciers yield a harvest. There is an abundance of free land available for home steading in isolated areas away from population centers but homesteading is only for those who are brave enough to try it. Any prospective home steader should be prepared to give years of his life and spend at least $150 an acre to clear his land for cultivation. Few Millionaires As for the colorful charac ters who came to Alaska in search of a new life and be came self-made millionaires, there are a few. But like many of their fellow Alaskans who arrived here poor and found a comfortable living, they came alone and either married later or sent for their wives when they had made a stake. They did not follow the devil-may-care practice of bun dling their families into a car or truck and loading their worldly possessions on the top for an adventure over the ho rizon. The price of such in dulgence can often be too high. ' - -- What should you do if you desire to settle in the new state? . First, come up for a vishv You will be welcomed with open arms by warm-hearted citizens who like nothing bet ter than to show off the won ders of Alaska's magnificent scenery and promise. Don't burn your bridges behind you until you are certain there is a place for your talents- in this great land. ; ' ' Have Enough Money ' Second, have either a defi nite commitment for a job be fore you make the long jour ney or at least enough money to keep your family for a month and the return trip home if things don't pan out. And last, don't expect mir acles. While Alaska offers much in opportunity, it also can extract a terrible toll in heartbreak or privation for those", who cannot stand the rigors of living in a frontier atmosphere. If you can honestly state you . can fill these required ments, come ahead. You will find the friendliest people in the world live in Alaska. By Jimmy Hatlo 1 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medrd, Or.

The reader ik cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. Law Sets Time Limit On Suing "It is my opinion that W. L. Lowe is a thief. He is stealing my sheep," declared W. W. Brown on several occasions, the last of which was June 11, 1958. This made Lowe angry. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, on, July 1, 1959, Lowe went to his attorney to start an action against Brown. Much to Lowe's surprise, the attorney told him it was too late more than one year had passed and the statute of limi tations requires that an action of slander be brought- within one year. ' ' Time Limits The statute of limitations limits the time in which dif ferent kinds of actions can be brought by individuals. In the chapter on limitation of . ac tions in the Oregon Statutes, the longest time given for the commencement of a civil ac tion is ten years for the recov ery of real property, actions onr foreign judgments, and on sealed instruments. Various other actions must be started within two, three, or six years. In a case such as this, how ever, the statute does not run that is, the tim is not counted while the wrongdoer is out of the state or is concealing himself. If Mr. Brown had gone to California immediate 'Mm of a Promise Sure, she's a grand old flag! That's why we salute her. That's why we pledge allegiance to her. That pledge, in its simplest terms, is another way of saying,'"Count me in. You're my country and I love you and need you. Your problems are my problems, and I'm with you all the way." Your country's biggest single problem is the perpetual responsibility for keeping the peace its . people, want. You can help with this problem by remembering this: Peace costs money. Money for military and industrial strength. Money for science and education. And money saved by. indiyiduals by you to help keep the economy strong. Bonds provide this money. Every Bond you buy is an important, "personal pledge of allegiance to your country. Think it over. Are you buying enough? . - Help Buy The US. Gooernmtnt doe not pay for this advertising. The Treasury Department thanks, for their patriotic donation. The Advertising Council and The ly after he spoke the slander ous words and lived there for three years before returning to Oregon, Lowe would have had four years in which he could have sued. General Expectation The statute of limitations is founded upon the general ex pectation that claims which are valid are not usually al lowed to remain neglected. It i designed to protect citizens from stale - and vexatious claims, and to prevent litiga tion after a reasonable lapse of time. Law best serves the vigilant and not those who sleep upon their rights. After all, witnesses eventually die or move to parts unknown, memories fade and evidence disappears. TRUSTING SOUL Hamburg, N..
