Off, L. B. Massom
Wins 50-Mile Run
First to finish the Kodiak-Chini
ak Marathon on Sunday was L. B.
Massom, whose 50-yard sprint
amazed the spectators who eagerly
awaited the event.
As he stumbled over the finish
tape, Massom mumbled “Just give
me the money.”
However, since nothing was ma
terial as money was mentioned in
the endurance contest, an effort is
being made to have JFK send a
congratulatory message “on Mas
som’s “vigah.”
The Rendezvous proved a stum
bling block for many of the con
testants including Lee Jones, A1
Hochberger and Ellery Quein.
Dark Star didn’t even make it
past the second gate post, and last
seen was sleeping on a hillside at
the base.
Faulty alarm clocks were' also
blamed as many of the entries
failed to be at the starting line at
6 a.m., Sunday.
Chairman of Kodiak’s first en
durance test, Ray Shannon, an
nounces that another one is sched
uled for April and at a later hour,
so that the alarm clock cannot bo
used as an excuse.
Next month the Belmont AC and
the B&B Body Builders are spon
soring a short jaunt from the
Beachcombers to the Montmartre.
District Governor
Speaks To Rotary
Dr. A. Holmes Johnson, district
Governor of Rotary, addressed the
Kodiak Rotarians, Tuesday at the
Mecca 49 Room in an address en
titled, “Our Nation and Its Dis
eases.”
Dr. Johnson brought out laxity
of "umph” on the part of people
engaged in politics, religion and
other phases of American life in
safeguarding our traditions. “If we
fall prey to Communism,” he con
cluded, “it will be because of our
indifference to our rights and priv
ileges."

We fail to understand how we
in Kodiak are cut off from fed
eral aid on our water and sanita
tion projects while the city of
Anchorage merrily goes ahead
and files for such aid and re
ceives same long after we have
made application. Somebody just
isn’t reaching the right sources.

From Mr. and Mrs. James R.
Burton of Port Arthur, Texas, we
received a letter which appropri
ately ends the Benny Benson Fund
Drive:
“Please accept our small check
to aid Benny in his recovery.”
‘-He spent a few days in our
home while on a trip with our sis
ter and brother-in-law and we
found a fine friend indeed.”
“We would like to make him an
adopted Texan but he thinks
Alaska is best so we won’t insist
but we feel maybe a little Texas
dust still lingers.”
Our best wishes to him and our
thanks to you for helpin him in
this way.”

And while we’re drifting away
from the Balmy Alaskan shores
for such cold weather spots as
Port Arthur, we will continue on
to New York and a yarn about a
publisher who decided as a gim
mick to include a half dozen ad
hesive bandages in each copy of
a new children’s book called,
“Dr. Dan the Bandage Man.”
Therefore, he wired a friend at
Johnson and Johnson saying
“Please send me two million
Band-Aids immediately.”
Back came a telegram reading,
“Band-Aids on the way. What the
hell happened to you?”

And we are told by one of the
k f. .a. ■ ■ _
high school teachers about the KHS
student who got up from the table
and answered the door bell.
“Look, Johnny,” she frowned at
the young fellow on the front steps,
“didn’t I tell you to come after
dinner?”
“Of course,” replied her puzzled
date. “And that’s just exactly what
I came after.”

March 8 on Kodiak Island will
perhaps not be a holiday in fu

served as “S” Day, and we don’t
mean “Sales” day.

The Kodiak Teen-Age Group has
two ambitious programs on tap, so
we’re told.
One is to rehabilitate some hous
ing units on Long Island which
have been donated by Tom Galla
gher, which would be used for a
summer camp, and the second is
an outdoor picnic area near the
Armory providing picnic tables
and outdoor cooking units.
Some adult advice and assistance
is needed, and if you are willing
and able, get in touch with Phil
Anderson.

Dd you happen to see last Sat
urday’s issue of the Anchorage
Daily Times?
It was an annual report of the
City of Anchorage for 1962,
showing what had been accom
plished, how the money was
spent, a report from the City
Manager, and plans for the fu
ture. An enlightening picture of
that type here would be most
welcome.
