tale; (d) not tell for fear of re

One girl did not check any of
these answers but simply wrote:
“Realizing I was in the wrong
bathroom, I would get out of there

WASTED EFFORT: Our idea
of the utmost in futilism: Pub
lisher of the Anchorage Times,
Robert Atwood, leading a circu
lation campaign in the Juneau
area.

Lew M. Williams, Sr., in the
Wrangell Sentinel Periscope says:
Most candidates running for of
fice contend it is a costly business
and getting up the cash to carry
on a campaign is one of the major
problems.
However, Alaska this year has
a candidate who has surmounted
the old barrier.
Lowell Thomas, Jr., Republican
candidate for the U.S. Representa
tive, has made up some films and
very interesting ones, too, which
he presents in the various com
munities in conjunction with his
campaign against Rep. Ralph Riv
ers for the House seat. One of
them, “Follow the North Star”
will be presented here next Tues
day. Mr. Thomas’ cut is 25 per cent
of the gate. This is what one could
call real sharp politicking. Why
lose money even if you lose out?

In the land of “Make Believe”
we wonder if the State Depart
ment might become concerned
if we could talk about half of the
115 Russian ships operating 10
to 12 miles from our coast to
trawl the Potomac or the same
distance off from Miami, Florida,
or Boston.
Maybe they would respond in
the same manner they did in
Kodiak, “Now, now, boys, they
really don’t mean any harm. If
you would only put neon lights
around your crab pots and buoys,
chances are that would cut your
losses as much as 25 per cent.”

Suppose you heard about the lo
cal busybody, unable to contain
her curiosity any longer and finally
asked an expectant mother point

is less than three months
away.
And in Kodiak you plan early
for the holidays, or your plans
are not fulfilled.
Have your ordered your
Christmas cards yet?
If not, we suggest that you
stop by at the Kodiak Mirror
office and place your order now,
in order to assure that they’ll
be here in time for mailing.

the young woman said pleasantly.
“I’m just carrying this for a

In addition to Russians, prog
ress is invading our shores. ‘Ere
long we will have a drive-in win
dow at the bank, and who knows
what could follow.
In the Lower 48, they now
have drive-in prescription stores,
drive-in liquor stores, and one
of these days maybe drive-in
doctors. Just put your arm out of
the car window and you can get
your third polio shot without
leaving your car.

To clarify a point of doubt in
many people’s minds, the fourth
bonding proposition on the Nov. G
ballot would authorize an issue of
- — - - - - - - - •
$2.2 million for the construction
of a vocational education school
to be located in the Kodiak-Aleu
tian senate district—not necessar
ily the town of Kodiak, even
though Kodiak would be the logi
cal site. That fact would have to
be determined later.

Then there’s the Kodiak wife
who picked up a movie magazine
this week with a picture of a
bosomy movie star on the cover,
“I suppose,” she snorted, “she
expects to set the world on fire!”
Her husband glanced at the
picture. “Well,” he said as he
turned back to his paper, “at
least she has the bellows for it.”

And as might be expected—it’s
just before election time and time
again for the report on the Kodiak
ferry.
Remember the last one we had,
it was just before the primary
with the assurance that readver
tising for the smaller ferry would
take place no later than Sept. 15.
Now comes the latest dispatch
saying that completion of the de
sign is set for Oct. 19, today, and
bids will be invited by the end of
October with target date for com
mencement of operations by spring
of 1964.
And how timely can you get?
Call for the grading, drainage and
paving of 0.871 miles of roadway
from Brooklyn Ave. to Seventh
Ave. is No. 1, exactly five days be
for the election.
