The Chilly blast of winter .that
■descended on us the past feto^days
is causing the usual freeze ups and
discomforts. A wind with gusts up
. to 90 mi. have been reported,
which drives the cold into the mar
row of ones bones. Quite a con
trast from the almost banfiy' win
ter weather enjoyed so far.

The total value of the mineral
production in Alaska rose to $26
million in 1954 tor exceed the 1953
value by more than $2 million and
to reach the highest level since
1941, according to the U. S. Bur
eau of Mines, and as reported' in
Jessen’s Weekly. More than half
the rise was due to the increased
value of sand and gravel produc
tion. An increased production of
mercury and tin and the first pro
duction of chromite since 1941 ac
counted for the remaining half of
the rise. Gold was again in first
place among the Territory’s min
eral commodities in terms of value
of output. Output of the three com
modities, gold, coal and sand and
gravel accounted for 89 per cent
of the total value of the mineral
production in Alaska.
It might be of interest to note
that the Kenai Chrome Co. made
its first shipment of chromite

The Democrats in Wrangell may
be hungry, but they have found a
way to satisfy that hunger. They
are putting on a dinner and offer
all you can eat for $1.25. That’s
about as close as we’ll get to the
bromide “a full dinner pail,” in
Alaska.

A letter arrived from California
just about the time when the cold
blast hit Kodiak, which didn’t help
a bit. Tom Silcox writes he is with
Leo and Gerry Sears and family
in Santa Barbara, enjoying hot
weather and pleasant trips. With
a fine automobile, the Sears’ and
Tom are enjoying the sights of
California. They have two acres
there, on which they plan fo build.
Tom mentions loaded orange trees
and fresh vegetables, which the
mention of is hard to take for a
Kodiakan who loves them both.
And of course he is enjoying TV.
But he and Leo plan to be back in
Kodiak next summer.
When the Central Washington
College of Education basketball
team flies to Alaska Dec. 17 to

23 will meet the University of Al
aska Polar Bears, Eielson AFB,
Ladd AFB, and Sportland AAU,
Fairbanks.: The tilts with the Po
lar Bears are scheduled for Dec.
17 and 19, and with the three non

nights.
Richard Strait, University of Al
aska director of athletics, today
said last year CWCE had a record
of 17 wins and 5 losses which
placed them second in a tough

have back almost the same team,
plus some transfers and freshmen
who give the team considerable
needed height,
