You Write One
There isn’t going to be an editorial this week. The en
tire MIRROR staff has been stricken with the “crud” or
“flu”, (you choose the appelation you like best) and we don’t
feel like writing one.
We could write about the hassel in Juneau over who re
commended Bob Reeve for governor or the only measure to
clear both houses this week, which was a memorial in support
of the Taiya Aluminum Project at Skagway.
Other editorial subjects could include the proposed resi
gnation of the City Magistrate so that he could devote more
time to his city clark-treasurer duties, or the fire at the
echool quonset hut.
We could write several hundred words regarding the high
wharfage rates here as compared to other Alasican cities but
again the old “flu” grips us and we don’t feel equal to it at
this time.
One other subject could be written about if we had
more infornation: Is there a communist cell in Kodiak?
Sounds fantastic doesn’t it? It can’t happen here?? Maybe it
is the virus. We get lightheaded ideas at times.

s Breaking Out Winter Roads

*
^ Before the days of snow plows,
^ our ancestors had to work together to
^ keep the roads open. Everybody
^ helped. . . .and everybody profited.
| Some roads were opened by driv
^ ing oxen and horses back and forth to
^ trample down the snow. But other
is roads had to be dug out by hand.
Many people, working together, can accom
plish much more than can be done by one. That is
especially true in regard to financial matters. Dol
lars deposited with us are loaned to credit-worthy
people and business. They keep payrolls steady.
They helo business to develop new and better pro
ducts. They increase employment. They raise your
standard of living.
