OR, THAT OVER $2,000,000 Has been granted to citizens of Alaska with certain qualifications? HERE ARE THE FACTS: No, there is no catch to this story. The money was pro- vided in a bill sponsored in the Special Session of the Alaska Legislature in 1946 by SEN. NORMAN R. WALKER for the benefit of ALASKA WORLD WAR II VETERANS. This money was cheerfully paid by grateful and patriotic citizens of Alaska. A small minority who begrudged the trouble and inconvenience complained. A very small group who did not want the FREE governments of the world to WIN the war OPPOSED this legislation. Remember these facts when you see the name of NOR- MAN R. WALKER on the ballot during the October 12 General Elections. Senator Walker is seeking re-election in the First Division. Yes, on October 12, patriotic:Alaskans will have an op- poriunity to approve or disapprove of SENATOR WALKER'’S efforts to aid the people who helped save our country from dictatorship. ' RE-ELECT Sen. Norman R. Walker (This advertisement was paid for by beneficiaries of the legislation sponsored by Senator Walker, the women whose fatheis, sons and brothers who did not return from the great war for world freedom.) ’ .‘Al;_.;'g‘_ka li‘lr%gd I:o All Alaskans! ement) 000 O 1
