Stand Up And Be Counted
Every citizen of Kodiak will have
the opportunity to strike a blow
in the cause of liberty on Flag Day,
Wednesday, June 14, 1961, and
such a blow can be struck from no
further than each front door or
lawn here.
Our nation is in the midst of
■troubled times. Because America’s
enemies believe that the Nation
is suffering from disunity, we are
■the target of the threat of World
Communism. Encouraged by any
sign which might indicate internal
weakness here, the forces seeking
world domination have promoted a
growing disrespect of other nations
toward American motives, and
have initiated open attacks on the
American way of life.
These challenges must be an
swered with a display of national
unity unequaled in our country’s
history—if our Nation is to sur
vive the present peril it faces.
There can be no stronger evidence
of this country’s unity than the dis
play of the flag of the United
States by each and every house
hold. This can be America’s answer
to those who believe we have weak
ened from our dedication to the
cause of freedom and dignity of
the individual. We here in Kodiak
can declare our part in this expres
sion of national unity. Let’s all dis
play this symbol of America’s unity
and love of freedom on Flag Day.

For you treble hook users among

no restriction on the use of treble

It may come as a surprise but
women really are the weaker sex—
at least as far as acute health con
ditions are concerned.
Although the life expectancy of
females is six years more than for
males, along the way the average
woman can expect to suffer acute
health conditions more frequently,
resulting in a greater number of
days of restricted activity and bed
confinement.

The U. S. is becoming accident
prone. Because of a high rate of
acidents in the last two quarters of
1960, there was a total of 46.4
million persons injured, exceeding
by 3.4 million the 43 millions per
sons injured in 1959 . . . There
were 5 million injured in accidents
involving motor vehicles in 1960,
up from 3.9 million in 1959 . . .
Home continued to be the most
rangerous spot. A total of 19 mil
lion persons were injured in the
home in 1960, an increase over the
1959 total of 18.6 million persons.

A spokesman for the Aerospace
industry stated this week that one
third of all U. S. plants and equip
ment are obsolete. He predicted
that more than half of the nation’s
industrial plants will become ob
solete in ten years unless the gov
ernment revises its depreciation
policies. It was quite a jolt to read
that “this nation can no longer be
called the most advanced industrial
country of the world. “Compared to
European equipment, the U. S.
equipment is “clumsy and inef
ficent>” Wow! Have we been bask
ing in the sunshine of false pride?
The spokesman said the obsoles
cence is a creeping paralysis
caused by 25 year-old depreciation
policies which prohibit industry
from fully recovering its invest
ment in new plant and equipment.
As an example, he noted, a blast
furnace which cost $8 million in
1950 costs $26 million today.
He said that unless a realistic
depreciation policy is put into ef
fect, this nation must reconcile it
self to a “gradual slide down to the
status of a second-rate industrial
power.”
On The Screen
Edna Ferber’s “The Giant” is
showing tonight and tomorrow.
Rock Hudson stars.
The French star Christine Carere
stars in “A Private’s Affair,” which
comes to the local movie house
Sunday and Monday. Hilarious
comedy in Cinemascope, De Luxe
Color, also stars Sal Mineo. About
the misadventures of three young
draftees and their chaotic effects
upon the whole U. S. Army com
mand.
“The Wasp Woman” and the
“Beast From Haunted Cave”—two
shockers that ought to offer tense
and exciting moments to horror
fans.
The two pictures are concerned
with the age-old questions: Is there
a possibility of finding The Foun
tain of Youth, and can there be
any truth in the legends of ghosts,
hauted caves and caverns?
“The Sundowners” winds up the
weeks entertainment. Filmed in
Australia, it is said by one reviewer
to be highly interesting. An earthy
story of Australia and a family of
itinerant, hard-living sheep dovers,
it stars Deborah Kerr, Robert
Mitchum, Peter Ustinov.
The scenic Australian country
side, the people, the language, and
the different dress and customs all
add interest.
