We have been listening to records
that tell stories. Our class is en
joying them. They take 30 minutes
each. How exciting to listen to
the Swiss Family Robinson when they
are shipwrecked or hear Long John
Silver in Treasure Island. We are
glad Jim and Donald Morgan are
sharing their records with us.

I have seen four moose this month.
All the four were big, noble ani
mals! Try as I might, I could not
get close to them. The moose are
sort of scared. I would try to get
close to them to have a good look
but they always ran.

KENNY LAKE NOTES - HOWARD KIBBLE.
Sometimes I eat my lunch with my
wife and her students in the school room
at Kenny Lake.
There are eighteen desks filled with
eighteen minds, and exactly as many vari
ations in personality,, ability, and the
energies that go to determine their indi
vidual destinies.
I sit and muse, while my too-hot-tea
cools, on the tremendous potential of even
such a small segment of this new state !s
iunion citizens.
Among these eighteen pairs of hands
somewhere dwells the power to create tan
gible things of the future that will
stand long after those hands have return
ed to dust,
VJithin the minds behind those eight
een pairs of eyes there rests worlds with
out end; things of tremendous import in
the future, discoveries that confound the
present-day imagination; research, devel
opment, and completion of projects, both
large and small, of which we only dream
nowadays•
Not for all will these things happen,
humans aren!t found in such numbers so apt
or able, but the possibility that such a
future could unfold for any of these
youngsters is a resounding vote for our
way of political and economic life, and
also for this raw giant of a new state
of ours where these young people will be
present, and maybe working for, the incep
tion of countless things new and growing;
instead of being faced with the grey med
iocrity of things long tried, and long
found wanting.
It’s rather difficult, sometimes, to
infect the grown mind with enthusiasm
because cynics are not hard to find, but
each new crop of empire-builders holds a
fresh hope. As Sugar Ray Robinson said
“You win some, You lose someeIT Only in
Alaska you win more •
Adam Bell and Henry Ford 11 got to
gether and decided to select Kenny Lake
49 mile area as an exercise pen for one
of the latters new pickups* .So Adam,
being agreeable just so it was green and
not too expensive 9 is now making nice,
*bitey! sharp tire tracks in the new snow
on his journeys home each week*
The Roy Hooper Family, from Valdes
temporarily, stayed the night in Kenny
Lake before going on to Anchorage*
He is chairman of the Advancement
League and came up to our bi-monthly
meeting. Beth is homestead-homesick,
which is quite understandable. Best
place to be,
