Dear Sir:
The citizens of Kodiak and en
virons are to be commended for
their effective cooperation in the
recent clean-up drive. The results
are tangible and most gratifying.
Now, what do we propose to do
about the atrocious situation that
exists at the City Garbage Dump?
My dump is directly across the
road, however, I cannot compete
with the organized chaos across
the road.
Yours in distress,
Norris F. Murphy

Dear Sir:
We would like to take this op
portunity to thank all the city folk
of Kodiak, the Navy Commanders,
Caldwell and Bast and their ladies,
and especially the Kodiak Shriners
and their ladies, for the hospitality
shown the Anchorage Shriners
during our recent visit to the Crab
Festival. You folks certainly have
a way of making visitors feel at
home.
Everyone commented on the de
lightful food served at the Shrine
Club and the Elks Club. Never
before have we eaten crab pre
pared in so many delightful ways.
All the ladies that made this trip
are very eager to get the crab
recipes featured in the dinner at
the Elks Club, and we would like
to know if some of the Kodiak
ladies would share their crab reci
pes with us? If they would mail
them to us, we would be glad to
get them mimeographed and dis
tributed.
Again may we offer a tremen
dous thanks to all of you for a job
well done.
Very sincerely,
CWO & Mrs. James V. Lamb, Sr.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir:
This last week one hundred
Alaskan voters filed an application
with the Secretary of State to
TEAR GAS AND MUSCLE FLUSHES GUNMAN — Summoned by
neighbors who heard shotgun blasts in apartment on Chicago’s
south side May 30, police finally flushed out berserk laborer Ken
neth Jankowski, 23, but it wasn’t easy. After barrage of tear gas,
Jankowski emerges fighting with policeman, bottom, who has on a
gas mask. Uniformed policeman moves into the fray with gun ready.
Jankowski was subdued and taken to a hospital. (AP Wirephoto)

people of Alaska in the November
8th general election. This applica

The sponsors of this petition

that was passed by our last Btate
legislature was not a good law for
Alaska. It has already in effect

Alaska Party) off the state ballot.
As a result of the restrictive mea
sures of this law there are no in
dependents in this coming election
anywhere in the state. The law
contains provisions for voting a
straight party ticket and the semi
closed primary. Both of these have
met with much disfavor in Alaska.
The sponsors thus propose that
this Election Code be submitted
to the voters of this state for either
approval or rejection.
To do this we must secure over
5,000 signatures to our petition
and these must come from at least
16 of the 24 election districts in
the state. This petition must be
filed no later than 27th of June.
In circulation of this petition
tae sponsors need help. Anyone
interested in helping may contact
the undersigned at Box 1087, Fair
banks or phone Fairbanks 2322.
This referendum process is rath
er complicated and complete in
structions will accompany each
petition.
It is well to add that anyone
who wishes to circulate this peti
tion will become a sponsor and the
Secretary of State will be notified
of the names and addresses of
these sponsors.
Sincerely,
Lawrence M. Brayton
