“Night On The Town” At Anchorage
Expensive Deal For Ouzinki Fishers
A "night on the town in Anchor
age” proved extremely expensive
for two Kodiak fishermen bound
for Seattle who reported Thursday
to Anchorage officers the loss of
about $4,000.
Andrew Squarstoff and Arthur
Kaakson, both of Ouzinkie, told
police officers that they decided to
do a little celebrating Tuesday
night.
The men had a few drinks at the
Alibi Club and then called a cab
and were taken to a private resi
dence. Squarstoff said he had a
drink with two women there, and
the next thing he remembered was
walking around Fourth Avenue
and I street about 4 a.m. Thursday
minus $1,000 in cash and about
$950 in travelers checks.
Haakanson told the police that
he stayed with the cab and was
taken to the cab driver’s residence
where he took off his coat and lay
down on the couch. Later he awoke

Building Program
Is Being Studied
Voters in the Kodiak Independ
ent School District will be asked
to pass on a half-million dollar
bond issue probably next spring, it
was indicated this week by Supt.
of Schools Ivor Schott.
The school administrator said
that the program for expansion has
been under study since 1956 and
calls for 10 additional rooms, with
four designated for special rooms
—one for graphic arts, two for shop
(metal, mechanical drawing and
wood working) and one for music,
and the remaining six rooms for
classrooms mostly for the junior
high level.
The additional facilities would
greatly enhance the vocational ed
ucational program for the high
school, Supt. Schott said, some
thing which has been held back for
lack of facilities.

CONGRESS CONTEST
Two Republicans, seeking the bid
for Secretary of State, Jack T. Gil
liland and Robert Ross, to oppose
incumbent Hugh J. Wade (D).
Little interest has been evi
denced in the U.S. Senate race. In
cumbent Ernest Gruening is con
sidered an easy victor of Robert L.
Veach of Anchorage, and the two
Republicans, Frank Cook and Ted
Stevens appear to be about evenly
matched.
Congressman Ralph J. Rivers,
incumbent, a Democrat, is unop
posed, but there is a stiff battle to
see who will oppose him in No
vember between Lowell Thomas,
Jr., and Henry S. Pratt, the former
is given a slight edge.
VOTING POLLS
Kodiak voters will cast their bal
lots at the National Guard Armory
building and the city hall. Voters
living Southeast of the Center line
of the Mill Bay Road from Marine
