Nearly 100 Kids
Attend Swimmng
Class This Week
Approximately 100 youngsters
participated in the first swimming
class held at the Pete Deveau pool,
Wednesday, according to R. E.
Vickery, chief of police, who is di
recting the swimming classes.
The chief commented that it was
too bad that all the adults of Ko
diak couldn’t have been on hand
to watch the expression of the
youngsters, and if they had been,
it wouldn’t be too long until Ko
diak could start building a pool.
The classes will run until Aug.
3 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on every
good day. Chief Vickery urges
adults to come and observe the
program.
Tuesday afternoon the Kodiak
Little Leaguers fell prey to the Mt.
View team in the consolation round
by being edged in a 12-10 slugfest
to eliminate the local nine.

According to Bob Bardsley who
was fishing with Gilstrap, the lat
ter was reeling in his catch when
he noticed a slack in his line. When
Gilstrap pulled out the slack the
lion was seen for the first time
with a good hold on the halibut.
Bardsley reached for his pistol and
poured a dozen rounds of ammuni
tion into the lion which meanwhile
had charged in the direction of the
boat.
The lion was bleeding and in bad
shape as he rolled over in the sur
face and was last seen by the fish
erman about three-quarter miles
beyond Buoy Four.

Open Letter From Ralph J. Rivers
Dear Fellow Alaskans:
^ No doubt you will agree with me that my first duty as your
| Representative in Congress is to stay on the job in Washington,
| D.C., until Congress adjourns in September. As the session
I draws to a close and the legislative pressures increase, pending
' matters of importance to Alaska will require my constant at
tention.
| With this as my reason for being away from the home front
during most of the Primary Election campaign, I will warmly
| appreciate your vote when you visit the polls on Primary Elec
| tion Day, August 14th.
| With kindest regards and best wishes, I am
| Sincerely yours
| RALPH J. RIVERS
