It's probably a little early for
celebrating with Christmas cheer—
but usually many 6f Kodiak's resi
dents don't need such a big occa
cion as an eitcnse to imbibe. Then
again, maybe we’re getting pure.
Of course drinking mAy be in ratio
to a good fishing season or a poor
one. All the foregoing is by way of
stating that only seven drunks
were arrested in ©tir fair city dur
ing the last month, according to
the police report just handed me.
Only two were drtinh and disorder
ly.
There were only two arrested
for reckless driving—but of course
that’s enough. There was only one
negligent driver—apprehended, of
course. There’s lots more in this
category. Only one liquor law vio

lator waa picked up; two arrests
of minors drinking.
But the boys in blue are still is
suing traffic tickets—a total of
8 were apprehended for speeding,
3 for failing to recognize' a stop
sign. Good advice from the law —
Don't drive through a stop sign.
The ten bucks you save may be
your own.

What always amazes us are the
dogs picked up each month. You
wouldn’t think there were any
more left when you read from
month to month of from 50 to 60
dogs picked up. In October there
were 50. 38 were disposed of. And
still there’s lots more.
A quote: A taxpayer is one per
son who works for the government

Sid Charles; 87 year old editor
of the Ketchikan Daily Chronicle,
writes “Alaska Memoirs” now and
then. He told of an Alaskan news
paperman in the early days in
Fairbanks, Sam Wail, wh ) always
was in a feud with his linotype op
erator, Eddie Sargenson, by name.
Sam wrote long-winded editorials,
Sargenson complained they held
up the paper. If a comma or period
was omitted Sam would blame
Eddie and raise a commotion. The
only time the two worked together
was to fight a fire that broke out
in the newspaper plant. Sargenson
said to him: “Your editorials stink,
but I’ll follow your copy out the
window if you say so.” . . . Years
later the editor moved to Colorado,
and was about to go to work for a
certain newspaper. The owner,
showing him around the plant,
said: “I want to introduce you to
one of the best linotype operators
who ever came down the pike.” It
was Eddie Sargenson. Sara turned
abruptly on his heels, walked out,
and never came back. ,

Elks returning from Juneau and
the Elks convention held there
last! week, all report a fine time,
and particularly praised the hos
pitality of the Southeastern City.
Some haven't returned yet. These
are no doubt the hardy type of
conventioneer, and not as first
felt, those overcome by said hos
pitality.
Politically speaking, how impor
tant are the smaller communities
of the nation—those with less than
25,000 population? Town Journal,
working from the best available
data, has provided the answer.
Small town and farm residents
hold a clear voting majority in 42
of the 48 states. They control 84
of the 96 Senate seats—and domi
nate 275 of the 435 Congressional
districts. And—a very great politi
cal importance under the rules
that govern our Congress—they
elect 18 of the 19 Senate committee
chairmen and 15 of the 20 House
committee chairmen.
