Coming Events
A vartaggbof earning events holds the interest of Kodiak
residents this week: the dates the Tanana Oliver ice “went
oat” during the past 35 years, the outcome of various primary
elections in the states and the appointment of city officials for
the City of Kodiak during the coming year.
The appoii.tmenls ol a city clerk treasurer, city magist
rate, city water and street superintendent, city chief of police
and patrolman seem to take the top position of interest to
local residents.
We can’t publish the dates the ice “went out” at Ne
nana in copies of the MIRROR that we mail because of ar
chaic postal laws and regulations. We have published the re
suits of the Wisconsin and Nebraska elections and we are
urging all local taxpayers to attend the next regular meet
ing of the city council on April 14.
The appointment of Kodiak’s city officials is the only
coming event over which the local residents have any control.
Your vocal opinion will have a noticeable effect on the selec
tion of your city officials. Plan to attend the meeting.
i "SUGARING Off"
The early spring call of “sap’s running”
meant feverish work for every avail
able person during the brief maple syr
up season. Neighbors from all around
worked in shifts helping each other in
the “sugar bush”, collecting the sap
from the trees and boiling it down into
syrup or sugar.
Do you need help in order to buy or build a
home? Then we invite you to pay us a visit.
Hundreds of your friends and neighbors will
help. They keep their money on deposit with us
and it is available to help finance your home.
All you need to borrow here is a steady income
and a record of paying your bills. We will ar
range terms to fit you. The interest you pay on
your mortgage will help pay a profit to those
who have interest accounts. Good American
idea, isn’t it?

FROM THE PRESS BOX
by
Lefty Craft, JOC USN
(Ed. note: each week the
V1IRR0R will feature a sports;
j column in this space by Lefty
Craft of Kodiak Naval Sta-j
tion.)
During this era of, shall we
say, irregularities in the field
of sports and also along the
so-called higher levels of
social and political life, it is
indeed refreshing to contem
■ plate something like the latest j
I St. Louis Brown owner Bill
Veeck innovation: He sends a
cute poem to all newborn
babies in the St. Louis area, a i
pair of passes to Brownie]
Games to the parents and also
includes a 1970 contract IF.
IT’S A BOY. . .
The odds are stacked this •
spring against grizzled old j
Casey Stengel of the New!
York Yankees. He hit thej
jackpot three times but can
he make it four? Stengel, i
habitual chuckler at the odds,
is the only manager in base
aall history who stepped into
a new job and won the world
series in his first three times.
In all American League
history only four other man-,
agers ever won three or more
pennants consecutively. Hug
nie Jennings won three
straight for the Detroit Tigers
starting in 1907 but never won |
a world series. Miller Huggins
twice won three straight pen
nants for the Yankees. Connie
Mack won three in a row
{starting in 1929, then Mc
Carthy won four pennants
and three series.
But none of them matched
the incredible Stengel. Old
Casey came out of the Pacific
Coast Leage to the Yankees
in 1949 and hasn’t been licked
since.
! With the lid opening of the
Pacific Coast Baseball League
last Monday, the Seattle
Rainiers are picked by West
| Coast Sports Scribes to repeat
! as Coast Champions.
