sive” from the U.S. Press Associa
tion this week.
It all concerned our story about
the two second graders observing
jet planes and then announcing,
“Well, it’s time to get back to our
bead-stringing.”

BUDGET: A mathematical
confirmation of your suspicions.
FRONTIERSMAN: A fellow
who lives at the edge of a new
subdivision.
GROUCH: A man who has
sized himself up and got sore
about it.
SUCCESS: Writing more de
posit slips than checks.
EMPLOY'ER: An executive
looking for men between 25 and
30 with 40 years experience.

And one of our high school sen
iors passed on the information
that she was out on her first date
with a fellow student and as he
took her to the door and asked her
for a goodnight kiss.
“I’ll have you know I don’t do
that sort of thing on my first date.”
“Well,” he replied with appro
priate sarcasm, “how about on your
last?”
And before it slips our mind
for another week, we wish to pay
tribute to Herb Carpenter, the
industrial arts instructor at Ko
diak high school.
A few short weeks ago, right
in the middle of the heaviest
press run of the year the back
shop encountered trouble with
a pully which brought Old Faith
ful to an abrupt halt but within
an hour or so Herb and his boys
at the high school had us back
in running order thus avoiding
the Friday Mirror coming out on
Sunday.
Aside from that assist, we
think he’s doing a terrific job in
teaching marine mechanics—an
outstanding job of adapting
classroom work to the commun
ity.

When Herbert Hoover was pres
ident he gave all his salary back
to the government. Now we learn
that JFK is giving all of his salary
to charity. As for us, we have
reached the compromise stage.
Half of it goes to the government,
the remainder to the missus, and
she doesn’t like being called a char
itable institution.

KODIAK IS TALKING ABOUT:
The “open” discussion of the
Anchorage city budget while
here everything is mum. . . .
The generosity of Kodiak people
in response to the drive for Ben
nie Benson. . . . The chilly
weather, hut how about Fair
banks with 35 below? . . . The
cancellation of pink passes to
the Base and what shuold be
done to “open up” Kodiak's only
through road. . . . The way the
ponds and lakes have frozen over
(all of a sudden-like) ....
Kraft’s new Econoline truck and
Archie Zehe’s ’63 Volks. . . .
Getting off packages to the
Lower 48 before the deadline.
... How it can be so dusty when
it is so cold? . . . The fine per
formance of Carolyn Stanford at
the last Lyceum presentation. ...
If and ,vhen we’ll ever get pav
ing here. . . . The outlook for
the Kodiak high cagers under
Coach Terry McMullen.

IT’S THE TIME
Two Kodiak fishermen, one 50,
the other 60—were arguing about
the forthcoming marriage of the
latter to a young lady in her 20’s
this week.
“I don’t believe in these May
December marriages,” disapproved
the 50-year old. “After all, Decem
ber is going to find in May the
freshness and beauty of spring
h ——— mm
time, but whatever is May going
to find in December?”
The bridegroom-to-be replied:
“Christmas!”

Aside to Mayor Merrill Coon:
At no time has the Mirror
thought of charging the city for
publishing the budget. We will
he happy to publish it without
cost as a service to readers who
are entitled to have the informa
tion.
