-- Kodiak Kapsules —
(continued from wage 1)
programs with the rest of the
world. But it is up to congress to
be sure that the charges are rea
sonable.
Having to wait for the films has
its advantages, though. By the time
they are filmed and ready to be
shipped up here, many of them
are found not to be worth the post
age. Consequently we are spared
many of the stinkeroos foisted on
the unsuspected to the south of us.

Note in the Fairbanks News
Miner that a gentleman by the
name of Sexhauer was appointed
to the city council early this
this month.
A name which might bring
complications such as the inci
dent where a fellow of the same
name was working in a big manu
facturing plant. A friend at
tempting to contact him placed
a call to the operator and in
quired, “Do you have a Sexhauer
there?” “Gosh, no-” exclaimed
the operator, “We’re lucky to
have a coffee break.”

A release this week from the
Department of Highways informs
the uninformed that the Depart
ment had 1,189 employees in all
classifications as of Aug. 1.
The release goes on to say that
the department will continue ad
vertising projects throughout the
year . . . and that the Department
has location and survey crews
working in all areas of Alaska on
projects planned for construction
tn future years.
About six weeks ago we literal
ly bounced into Homer from An
chorage, and if half of all that per
sonnel would be assigned to that
road or a few to Kodiak island,
perhaps the Department could
point with pride to accomplish
ments rather than the number of
employees and its future plans.

makes you wonder
Yours truly came from an area
in the Lower 48 which prided it
self as the home of the pinto
bean—yet you could seldom
find them listed on the menu.
Now in Kodiak, the King Crab
capital, home of one of the most
active halibut freezing plants in
the area; and currently a hot
spot for pink salmon fishing, we
are just wondering how many
meat markets or how many res
taurants on the island list any or
all of the items of which we
boast so much in fresh form.
Bet you can find all three in Se
attle.

WARREN A. TAYLOR
Your Candidate For
Alaska’s Governor
on the Democratic ticket
August 14,1962 Primary Election
I have served our state in many capacities as shown in the above record of pubic service. Most of my life has beeH spent
in working for the benefit of Alaska and Alaskans.
If elected your Governor I shall continue to work with renewed zeal to improve the economic situation in our state by
creating a favorable atmosphere to encourage business and mone year-round employment for the workers of Alaska. While I
have always worked for a fair and equitable Employment Security Act and a liberal Workmen’s Compensation Act, I am firmly
convinced that true employment security can be achieved only by creating such a favorable climate for new business that thou
sands of new jobs can be made available to our people.
I believe that my record is one of dedication and accomplishment. I believe that the experience which I have acquired
over the past 25 or more years in Alaska’s service has fitted me for the high office of Governor of Alaska. If you agree *hat
experience, knowledge and desire to serve are important requirements of this office, may I ask you to vote for WARREN A.
TAYLOR for GOVERNOR.
ALASKA IS ON THE MARCH — MARCH WITH TAYLOR ! ! !
Sincerely,
Warren A. Taylor
