Here There Everywhere
So many people are enjoying
television these days, many for
the first time, that we rather hate
to bring to your attention a situa;
tion that may occur to you in some
distant future. The tube in the
television setlof (Editor L. R. Corn
ell of the Fulton (N. Y.) Patriot
went dead. Some of the children
couldn't stand the quietness, so
were packed off to a couple of
relatives. After thanking the latter
public'y, he went on: “I also want
to express my appreciation to the
tube for going dead. I sort of
made a market analysis of what
happened to us, and am passing
along this study for what it may
be worth to you/’
•'FSrst of all," *he writes, “po

The Editor also founa out that
tubes that go dead don’t die. A
TV repair man shot some juice in
to'the tube, and it came to life.
He concludes with one more ob
servation. The TV man told him
if he kept one hand in his pocket
when working with electrical
equipment, he’d never get a shock.
The Editor observed, as you or I
have done: “Quite often I’ve put
both my hands in my pockets and
got the shock of my life!”
Did someone say the income tax
filing period was over for this
year? For most of us it is, but for
65,000 taxpayers in Washington
and Alaska who are on the “esti
mated” basis, a payment is due
Jupe 15. If you are in this cate
gory, Internal Revenue asks that
you be sure to identify your re
mittance by giving the acount
number shown on the installment
notice or by returning the notice
with your payment.
Things looked pretty dark for
the P. J. Kerrigans early this
week, when their stove blew up.
That black soot has a way of pene
trating everything. According to
P. J., Jay Wolf of tbe Kodiak
Cleaners can now go on a years
vacation after he gets all the
clothes down to him for cleaning,
instead of just a month or so.
H.F. McDonald expressed the be
lief at the Council meeting Mon
day night that a candidiate for
Mayor should pay a $100 fee at
the time of filing for election and
candidates for Council $50. Mayor
Johnson replied that candidates
should be paid, instead.
A new twist to the song, “Who
pqt the overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s
Chowder,” was enacted this week
when LaLandes opened their new
store. Before they had time to fill
their shelves with their own goods
or decorate the window with their
own displays, someone put a lone,
long loaf of bread from a compet
ing bakery in front of the win
dow. It didn’t stay long, however.

The City Council might have
gained an insight into public opin
ion hereabouts on the subjects of
import to Kodiak, if they had at
tended the meeting of the Toast
masters Club last Tuesday. A
number of controversial subjects
were introduced, and speakers ex
pressed themselves quite warmly
on some of the topics. One in par
ticular—that of whether the City
should install water meters—was
given a thorough treatment, and
discussions followed long after the
meeting ended.
Majority opinions expressed in
dicated _the -belief -the meters
should not be installed. Speakers
thought the Council should con
centrate on improving the water
supply, instead. The main idea of
the meters is to conserve water.
With adequate water there is no
need to go to the expense of
meters, some felt. Main arguments
were, it was too costly, unneces
sary, and will add to the City’s
troubles more so than it will help.
*****
A step in the right direction, we
feel, is being taken by the Council,
who have brought Mr. H. H. Wal
ler of Hubbell and Waller Engi
neering Corporation of Seattle, to
Kodiak. He will look over the res
ervoir and his firm trill draw up
plans for an addition to it in an
effort to increase the capacity. :
May the water flow freely next
winter.

Suspected, of course, are unthink
