Our reporter in the Indian Village,
Big Susie reports' that a few days
ago Earl Boll and' Henry Ring (who
boasts of being the most effective
moocher in these parts) shared a
bottle of fire water and enjoyed
each other wonderful,. Earl put
on a pot of-stew . to ...c-ook and went
away for the.-day to out; and haul
wood, ^hen he \r"eturned he found
that Henry had aten all'the stewV
Earl was big hungry and had to
start a new stew, But first he
took time to sit down and tell
Henry the story of the Little Red
Hen, or words to that effect and
to impress the idea on Henry a
bit he punched the hell out of
him, leaving him with two big low
er lips and minus a couple of teeth
Moral: Henry should have hid out
till Earl got his belly full of
stew, a hungry, tired man is apt
to be irritable;
It is also reported that Albert
Charley who is 20 and was raised
here but has lived in Anchorage
for the past few years, was
vacationing on the Glen Hi-way in
his beautiful .,>4,000 coral pink
mercury on which he had made a
few payments. He was enjoying
the scenery near Nelchina when
he decided to break the sound
barrier, ..The car was demolish ed
and Albert was unscratehed.
People^ will do -well to, heed that
past hbrse and buggy suggestion;.
If you drink, don',t drive, and
vice versa.
THE CHIEF GHOST’S COLUMN
BYi THE OLD CYNIC
The Democrats took over control
of Alaska in the last election
and there are now 31 good natured
' people left in this Ghost Town. ;

The present grocery store, some ti j
times known as the Chitina Cash ]
Store will be contracted into (
the Chitina Drug Store for the
winter. It is suggested that the
few people who cannot do any better
than to patronize this establish
ment try to anticipate their neeas
as much as possible. Service
and hours are apt to be a bit
sketchy. And if the lighting
service is not all that you
would like it is suggested that
you cheer yourself for the czz
present with the realization
that it will be a damn sito
worse' before summer,
(as Alaska goe3 so goes the Nation)
It appears that according to a lot
of democrats and a few republicans
Alaska is.suffering from the bale
ful insufficiency of -4 '’weak Gov
ernorn, -UG' has not changed the
climate here, we still have long c
cofd winters and sh&r.^.; summers, He
has not cheated toheeniimhod any of
Alaskaf3 meager mineral resources,
('Uhd we need them badly), He has
not seen to it that the present
unemployment program produce vast
sums of money.needed to keep the
seasonal workers happy during the
periods of unemployment, He has
not.caused the improvident and
thriftless, particularly the
Indians and Breeds to become
diligent, thrifty as d resourceful.'
He has not caused the salmot to
lrun less erratically and in great
er numbers. Pie has not persuaded
Alaskans to be less whining para

All he has been able to do is give
Alaska an honest businesslike
administration. He should be
fired and a magician with a fairy
wand appointed to the job,
