Of This and That
By BETH A DIGREE
Alf and Maxine Madsen had a
lot of fun and enjoyed the past five
weeks in the other 48, but they are
happy to be at home. . ."I was tired
when we left home, and I’m even
more tired now,” said Maxine.
“The pace down there is just too
fast for me” . . . Maxine visited
her family in Lawrence, Kansas
and Kansas City, then joined Alf
in Las Vegas. There they met
Vince Daly and accompanied him
to the Daly’s ranches at Cody, Wy
oming. They also visited Oscar
and Lois Hansen at Salt Lake City.
We understand that both Oscar
and Lois still get homesick for
Kodiak at times .... The Madsens
spent time in Billings, Montana,
and Seattle, too . . .
Mrs. Verna Stedman and five chil
dren arrived here this week to
join Mr. Stedman, who has been
here the past two weeks. Mrs.
Stedman, who was born in Kodiak,
last visited here ten years ago.
She is the sister of Mrs. Bryan
Thorsheim. The Stedmans plan
to make their home here ....
While glancing through a list of
hills introduced at Juneau this
session, we noticed SB 137, intro
duced by Bronson and McNealy,
to regulate obscene literature and
other materials. We are curious
to know who will do the regulating,
in case the bill passes, and who
will decide just what is considered
obscene . . . What may appear
vulgar or obscene to one person
may not affect others that way. So,
how can anyone judge? It seems
to us that it is a matter of read
ing tastes, and one’s mental out
look, in most cases, and especially
in the case of adults. Some books
that have been considered literary
gems for many years might well
be misjudged by certain types of
'people ... We would like to know
much more about SB 137. Fur
ther, just what they mean when
they say “Regulate”? Do they in
tend to tell the people of this
state what books they may own?
Perhaps we may expect a Secret
Police, such as Hitler had, who
will examine our bookshelves. . .
It could happen, of course. Sure
ly the lawmakers must have more
pressing matters to attend to at
this time_such as getting the
state in running older. We had
always heard that Alaska is a
state of individualists. That may
have been true in past years but
evidently won’t be so much longer.
