tribution to a Territorial organization that merits and needs
5'our support.
The Alaska Crippled Children’s Associatitn, a chapter
of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults,Inc.,
is conducting a drive for funds to operate our Orthopedic Hos
pital at Mt. Edgecumbe and a clinic at Anchorage.
They are asking that vou make an Easter contribution
to the association. Easter is a universal symbol of new life and
Slope. It will give you real satisfaction if you know you nave
helped some unfortunate child or adult by your contribution.
Make out a check now. You cannot give .for a more
worthy cause.
Checks Red’s Count
A public accountant of Mangum, Oklahoma, is ap
parently skeptical of the news put out by the Communists re
garding the great funeral tendered old Joe Stalin.
According to a newspaper story from that town, Frank
Baker, took pencil in hand and did some figuring after he
heard that five million people passed Joe’s bier in 72 hours.
Baker figures if the Reds moved by in two rows they
would have to run past the bier at 22 miles per hour
The world’s record for the 100 yard dash is 9.3 se
conds— 22 mph hour.

Uti«ri to the Editor
; Dear Editor:
/ Last week, your paper car
ried a letter to the Editor from
Mr. Elvin Foster, Business
Agent for the Carpenters
Union wrhich we feel was
somewhat exaggerated from
the viewpoint of some of the
cot.tr tctors doing work in Ku
diak and vicinity.
I wish to state that the
policy of I’acific-Alaska Con
tractors, Inc. is to hire and use
all the local help necessary to
do the work we are now en
gaged in, to the fullest pos
sible extent.
For your information, we
now have 55 men on the pay
roll for the Housing Project,
all of them local men. We are
pleased with the fine cooper
ation and ability of these men
to do the work required of
them. i
Pacific-Alaska Contractors,
Inc. has brought in only one
man from outside: our General;
Superintendent, who has been
with the Company a long time.
It would seem that Mr. Fos
ter should have taken the
trouble to check with ail the
contractors doing work here,
to find out who brings men in
from outside, and who does
not, and how many, before
making such a broad state
ment.
[si Philip Strand
President.
Dear Editor:
I wonder why the city gra-1
der can’t start earlier in the
day and do some real good.
Why wait until the curbs are
lined with cars and then do a
half job and spend most of the
time waiting for traffic to
move?
[name withheld by request]
M. J. Lynch, machinery
broker of Seattle, was in Ko
diak this week to arrange for
shipment of surplus property
he purchased from the mili
tary.

and starts moving down river
