Navy May Use
Kodiak Beef
The main obstacle in the path
of the placement of Kodiak Island
beef on military dinner tables has
been removed, according to word
from Senator Ernest Gruening to
day.
The senator advised that he had
been working on the problem for
some time of allowing local mili
tary purchases of beef and to
give a boost to marketing proced
ures for Kodiak Island beef.
He cited the lack, up till now,
of satisfactory inspection proced
ures to comply with federal regu
lations, “by which this excellent
beef could be sold to the Navy,
which, in its station on Kodiak—
the headquarters of the Alaska
Sea Frontier and the 17th Naval
District, is a substantial consumer
of beef.”
One more gratifying step in
the onward march of Alaska to
ward economic self-sufficiency,”
is how Senator Gruening charac
terized a new arrrangement con
cerning the Kodiak Island beef
industry. Under the new arrange
ment, military veterinarians now
will have authority to go to Ko
diak to provide the proper meat
inspection “and permit the ranch
ers to dispose of their desirable
product locally,” he stated.
Fair Donations
Are Deductible
Philanthropic-minded Kodiak
residents will undoubtedly be hap
py to learn that contributions to
ward Alaska’s participation in the
Seattle World’s Fair have been de
clared deductible for Federal in
come tax purposes.
Governor William A. Egan this
week made public a letter from
the Anchorage internal revenue
office advising him that contribu
tions from Alaska business, in
dustry and individuals would be
deductible, with the provision
that “contributions in excess of
$20,000 would be deducted from
the State’s participation unless
earmarked for a specific portion
of the exhibit.”

IS Days Till Ice
Ticket Deadline
Only 15 days remain in which
you can make your guess on when
the ice will “go out” on the Ne
nana River.
Don Clark, manager of the an
nual Nenana Ice Classic, today
pointed out that tickets will not
be sold after the deadline, mid
night April 7th.
“There is now 46 inches of ice
under the tripod,” he advises, add
ing, “Last year at this time the
ice was only 33 inches thick, so
we have much more ice and snow
than we have had in several
years.”
“According to most of the old
timers I have talked to in Nena
na, these conditions mean a late
breakup. As manager of the clas
sic I am going to stick my neck
out and predict a late breakup
also. I have been misquoted a
time or two by the press, so I’ll
repeat, it’s going to be a late one
this year. But don’t forget I
have been in Nenana since 1922
and have yet to win anything,”
he concluded.
In Yugoslavia, the Jazz Associ
ation of Belgrade is planning to
open the first school for jazz in
any Communist country. The as
sociation says the school is needed
to improve the tastes in jazz in
Yugoslavia. Western music has
been allowed for years in the in
dependent Communist country and
now is flourishing.

If you were a professional used truck
buyer, why would you pay more for
one make than another?
There may be several reasons, but
among them would be:
**a 1. A greater demand for the
product
2. A more^esirable product for
resale
So if used Chevrolet trucks con
sistently bring higher prices at auctions
all over the country, it means that
their quality features pay off for you
not only as long as you own them
but also when you are ready to trade
them—double-wall cabs, doors and
side panels, roof insulation, select
wood J3bors> reliable and economical
engines, real rugged tailgates, a sus
pension system that helps prolong
truck life.
See your Chevrolet dealer for a
quality ’62 Chevrolet Jobmaster truck.
