Praise For Benny
The following is a letter re
ceded from Alaska Friends, Ine.,
written by Miss Lulu M. Fairbanks,
secretary:
Dear Friends:
We enclose a small check for
the Benny Benson Fund and wish
to commend you all for being loyal
to our flag designer. It is really the
most expressive of all STATE
FLAGS : . . for no other state can
clai ma STAR all for its own, ex
cept ALASKA—the great NORTH
STAR with its shining light.
Benny “hit the nail right on the
head” when his nearness to Na
ture and appreciation of night’s
magic beauty stirred his boyish
heart. If EVERY BOY or GIRL
who becomes a TEENAGER would
do as much for his country as
Benny did, we’d have no juvenile
delinquency! At 13 he became a
national figure. He had good
thought and expressed it—thanks
to the opportunity given by the
American Legion. God bless them,
too!

Dog Poisoner Is
Loose Here Again
Kodiak’s vicious dog poisoner
is loose again, as at least five
pets have been poisoned within
the past two weeks.
There have been reports that
as many as 12 animals have been
killed but this has not been veri
fied.
Many of the poisoning inci
dents have occurred on the Mill
Bay Road with three taking
place near the Erdman Trailer
Court.
State Patrolman Jim Hussey
and Chief of Police R. E. Vickery
have been following clues and
attempting to locate where the
poison was purchased.
A rash of poisonings took
place last May but the culprit
was not caught.
All officers and neighbors of
dog owners have been alerted to
watch for any suspicious action
on the part of possible poisoners.
Most of the animals killed
were “friendly pets” — not vi
cious type dogs, the chief said.
Any person who suspects that
his dog has been poisoned living
in the city limits should contact
Chief R. E. Vickery immediately
or if living outside of the city,
State Patrolman Jim Hussey.
Also, if you believe your dog
was poisoned please take his
body IMMEDIATELY to the
Health office where a determina
tion as to the cause of death can
be made.

Letter to tne taixor
Dear Editor:
People who spread rumors which
are not based on facts are of the
same caliber as those who are au
thors of poison pen letters.
Mr. Irick’s statement, second
hand, not substantiated by facts,
accuses state officials of unlawful
acts, and in my opinion is libel
under Alaska law.
It is a matter of record in legis
lature that $3,000,000 was ear
marked for the construction of the
Kodiak Ferry. It would be unlaw
ful to use it for any other purpose.
Mr. Irick, from his glass house,
should not be the one to throw
stones.
Rep. Peter M. Deveau
