sanitation improvements passed
by the voters in November, it
was reliably learned this week.
.. . And we congratulate the en
tire staff of city officials for
their stand on the parking ticket
attached. . . . Whatever hap
pened to the recommendation
that all taxicabs be parked off
the downtown area? . . . What
daya want to bet that the Rezan
off Drive road project won’t be
built during 1963? . . . The flu
bug has certainly been making
the rounds, hitting practically
everybody (beg your pardon it’s
a virus, not flu). . . . Harold
Naughton celebrated his_birth
day last Friday, so we’re told.
. . . And have you heard about
the bank which is starting a new
savings club plan for New
Years? (it’s for drunks who plan
ahead).

And our heart bleeds for the
ellow in a Volkswagen who put
out his hand to make a left turn
near the B&B and Postoffice,
Thursday and a Dachshund reached
out and nipped it.

And Loren, the nanana tender
at Kraft’s, was telling us about a
high school senior who informed
her mother, “I can’t marry him,
Mother. He’s an atheist—doesn’t
believe there is a hell.”
“Marry him, dear, and be
tween us, we’U convince him
that he’s wrong.”

And in the “Good Deeds” de
partment, let us add the name of
Mrs. John Fletcher and her son,
Skip, of Seward, who arranged the
benefit movie for Benny Benson.
Not one cent of the proceeds was
taken for overhead or to pay the
help on that night.

to introduce at this session of
the Legislature is a bill making
it mandatory for all cities to pub
lish their budgets as well as a
list of their monthly expendi
tures. Its a common practice in
most states in the Lower 48.

Maybe the Kodiak Chamber of
Commerce should invite Dave
Brinkley up here. At any rate,
nothing unfavorable was said or
shown about Kodiak.
But then, like most authors of
books on Alaska, few of them ever
get off the mainland and see the
historic island of Kodiak, even
though the governor didn’t figure
we were important enough to have
anyone serve on the Centennial
Committee.

We have a strong suspicion
that if we had an Air Force or
Army installation on this island,
relationships between the towns
people and the military would be
on a friendly basis.
Certainly Fairbanks and An
chorage haven’t undergone such
a situation as we have seen here
in recent weeks including the
plane crash incident right on
down to the pink pass farce.
It might behoove someone to
get a good public relations of
ficer. The damage done will take
years to repair, and this infor
mation is being passed on to our
two U.S. Senators, Bob Bartlett
and Ernest Gruening in the hope
that they can do something about
it.

That big bright spot you saw in
the sky on Tuesday was the sun—
just in case you’ve forgotten what
it looks like.

And Karl, who occupies the
desk adjacent to us reminds us
that according to Webster “Taut”
means tight. He says while he
was in college he was taut quite
a bit.

And a final thought for this
first day of February. If you
haven’t eaten any fresh King Crab
lately, may be suggest you do so
soon. They say that the Crab at
this time of the year are the best
ever.
* * * *
And an afterthought to add to
the final thought. Tomorrow is
Ground Hog Day, and if the
weather has been anything like
it has for the past two weeks,
he’d be a chump for even stick
ing his nose above the ground.
