ANSWER: Alaska’s schools are high in educational standards—their graduates are accepted without examination by leading American universities. To maintain these high standards the Territorial Treasury spends more than a half million dollars a year. Alaska’s Canned Salmon Industry pays more than 70% of the taxes collected by the Territorial Treasury. In addition, the Industry pays taxes to the Federal government, a large portion of which are returned to incorporated towns of the Territory and used for school purposes. A stable market for Alaska’s Canned Salmon will enable the Industry to continue its annual tax payments of more than $1,000,000—a large part of which goes to the support of Alaska’s educational system, SALMON TOMATOES IN CHEESE NOODLES 1 pkg. noodles Add milk, stir until thick and smooth.
