Of This And That
By BETHA DIGREE
Comments made in this column
two weeks ago regarding the
straight party ticket in primary
elections evidently displeased our.
own representative, Mr. Deveau
and his fellow party member, Mr.
Taylor, down in (jur Jftat£,rf apitpl.
Because the comment appeared*
on a page which carries social,
notes, a page devoted to happen
ings about town, particularly
among women, they castigate me
for my ‘political ineptitude.”
This column has been appearing
on the same page for a much
longer period of time than the
present legislature has been in
session, and has included com
ments on varied subjects. But ap
parently, we are not supposed to
comment on such a saored subject
as politics.
Being just an average citizen of
this country, a taxpayer and voter,
I firmly believe that I have the
right to express my personal
opinion just as do the rest of the
people, including the two gentle
men in Juneau.
“Political immaturity” was also
mentioned in this letter. I do not
pretend to be a student of politics,
being much too busy attending
to business and living, just as
are most of us. But I will defend
my privilege to think for myself
when voting for a man who is to
represent me, whether in the pri
mary or the final election. If it
is “political immaturity” to put
the candidate ahead of the party,
then the charge is true. In my
opinion, the capability, integrity
and intelliegnce of the person
should be more important than
party affiliations. ' ~
« Therefore, I shall continue to
hold to my own beliefs, even with
out the sanction of the two gentle
men in Juneau. At least I can
still express my opinion in the
general election, anyway.

Edythe preceded Milton by a
week ... “I was ill and couldn’t
leave when Edythe did,” said Mil
ton, “But I finally caught up with
her.” . . .

Who can concentrate on work

Spring is approaching . . . and a

Speaker W^s
At the dinner meeting Mo-dav
night of the Kodiak Business and
Professional Women’s Club, Mrs.
Mable Fenner, speaking on Juven
ile Delinquency, stated “the nation
is becoming alarmed at the in
crease in juvenile delinquency.
Contrary to common belief we do
have a juvenile delinquency prob
lem right here in Kodiak, and it
is 4lso on the increase.” ..
Continuing, Mrs. Fenner told
members that juveniles do not al
ways come from broken homes
but thpyx .comp from some of our
better; homes' ^oo. The problem
boils right-down to the**individ
ual family relationship, and unless
mothers and fathers start to take
more interest in the rearing of
their children .and ;quitjrelying on
social organizations ^and schools
for their., child's guidance the
problem cannot be licked. Parents
should be more strict in knowing
where their child is, who he is
with, and what time he is to be
home. We must stop coddling our *
children and give them some re- *
sponsibilities to shoulder. Only in
this manner can we raise children
that wili be a credit to the com
munity.

John Jones & Son, Inc.
Has John Jones really slaved all of his life so his son could
take over? Perhaps Mrs. Jones could throw some light on
this question.
Since he was a small boy, John Jones, Jr. has wanted to
be a forest ranger. But his father has been so wrapped up
in his own success that he has never asked his son what he
wanted to do with his life.
The fact ttyit John should be free to make his own c’*oice of
a career has never entered his father s mind*
