Here There and Everywhere
Jack Hinckel, delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, states
at..
in a letter the cold weather prer
▼ailing in Fairbanks, almost got
tiie best of him, but after one gets
used to it, it isn’t so bad. It’s at
least consistant about being cold.
Jack has appeared on TV a couple
of times and it’s now getting to be
tiring, he says. The TV station
there is televising committee meet
ings, which we could see could be
boring both to the committee and
to the public.

Dr. Jaeger is back after a fast
trip out
♦ * * * *
Speaking of Dr. Jaeger reminds
me of an incident that occurred in
town a few nights ago. A patron
of Louise’s Cafe dropped inl and
to put it mildly, “slightly inebriat
ed.” He had just been asked to re
move his presence from the Town
Club, where he had become a
little obnoxious. He ordered some
thing to eat from Merle, and when
it arrived, he took his uppers out
of his mouth, and started to “gum”
the food down, laying his teeth
along side his plate. He had al
ready lost his lowers. When he had
finished, he asked a couple of
ladies sitting near by if they
wouldn’t go over to Tonys and
have a drink with him. They,
of course, refused. His parting
shot as he went out the door: “I’m
going over and get drunk.”

Mrs-'ttOy Wheeler, formerly Ro
abel Morrison, whom many Kodiak
residents should know, spei# the
weekend with Mrs. Zoe Ekfn, nee
Sholl, at Long Reach, California
just before the Ekins were to ship
out to Honolulu, Hawaii. Both
ladies are from Kodiak, and ac
cording to a letter received from
Mrs. Wheeler, “related to half of
Kodiak.” We wonder if they know
what the unofficial population of
Kodiak is?

Alaska students attending the
University of Washington totalled
126. The total enrollment was 14,
165, which is over 490 over last
autumn quarter. It might be point
ed out that under Washington
State law, any qualified resident of
Alaska may enroll at the Universi
ty and pay only the same fee as is
paid by Washington residents.
Other out-of-state registrants pay a
higher fee. Three students are list
ed from Kodaik. They are: Roger
F. MacDonald, Dorothy Schwitters
and Carl B. Smith.
An interesting account, without
benefit of a “ghost-writer,” is giv
en in the Juneau Independent, and
written by Albert White, of the
early days of mining in Alaska
when the Guggenheims, Wicker
shams and a number of other old
Alaskans flourished. His conclud
ing paragraph goes like this:
“Birch (Stephen of Kennecott)
went to a man of millions (from
$220 a month), Judge Wickersham
went to Congress. Smith, who dis
covered the Kennecott Mine, made
several trips to the Mardi Gras, at
New Orleans, tried to drink up
all the whiskey between New Or
leans and Valdez, and spent the
$100,000 (paid to him for the
mine) then went out again and dis
covered the Mother Lode Copper
Mine and the Kennecott Copper
Company had to buy that one also
from Smith. This is my knowledge
of the early days of Alaska.”

Georgya Ellis writes from Ridge
port, California, that Vic has been
ill in a Los Angeles hospital for
some time and is still recuperating
at home.

Here at home, Walt Kraft had
been confined to the hospital since
his return home from the National
Guard Encampment. He left Mon
day for the States where he enter
ed the Virginia Mason clinic for
further check-up and treatment.

The Anchorage City Council is
scratching its collective heads to
to raise additional funds needed
for municipal services and a sales
tax looms as a possibility in that
Alaskan metropolis, even as here
in Kodiak. But it is a controversial
issue there too, voted down several
times previously.

The Governor’s office proclaimed
last week as Civil Air Patrol
week, thereby focusing attention
on this very important civilian
auxiliary of the U. S. Air Force.
As the proclamation stated, the
CAP has worked devotedly in the
cause of aviation and in behalf of
the people of Alaska, partly in the
performance of aerial search and
rescue, mercy missions and disas
ter relief.
