GETTING AROUND
By Shirley Black
. ■•* Just a few tired thoughts this
morning (Wednesday) on this
election business after being al
most hypnotised by listening to the
counting of votes last night at City
Hall.
There were plenty for the
judges and clerks to count, too.
The public opinion poll on the
question of the Griffin Memorial
Hospital title, which had turned
into a violent religious issue al
most overnight, had brought the
people out in numbers never be
fore seen at a Kodiak City elec- ,
tion. More than 800 cast their
votes.
That anti-Nuns letter mailed to
each boxholder Sunday night, un
signed and sounding slightly hys
terical, started off much specula
! tion when i^ceiyecj Monday $s to
who penned it. . Speculations con
•j tinned and some surprising an
| swers came up. The kind that
produces raised eyebrows, ; <' f

That letter was like a heavy roll
■ ing stone—it gathered momentum
with the conversations it p-rovok- i
f
ed, but gathered no moss as wit
nessed by the result of the poll.
All it seemed to prove was that
the authors knew their geography
that Rome is in Italy...
The whole questiion of the un
signed letter, which stirred every
one’s imagination as to who wrote
it, who mailed it, who stamped it,
who mimeographed it, brought
back to mind the childhood jingle
‘The House that Jack Built”.
The storm will die down, of
course and probably the threaten
ed repercussions brought by the
allegedly libelous letter will re
main threats.
A last thought on the matter of
.he transfer of the hospital i title,
• t / I
vhich seemed to make good isense
.vhen I heard it.. .Why doesn’t the
Fgrritory put the thing up for bid
n the normal manner?
I’d still cross my fingers for the
5rey Nuns.. '« j
