A Change In The Weather
If Alaska is a political weathervane the Republicans in
the States are due for a four-year spell of fair weather.
Four years ago Governor Ernest Gruening of Alaska
said:^ As Alaska goes, so goes the nation.” The Republicans
didn t believe him and they sailed into a Democratic storm
that beached them. The winds blowing out of Juneau since
Tuesday have failed to bring any reports or predictions which
are based on the balloting of the Territorial election for this
year.
Weather in Alaska and political campaigns are difficult
to predict to any great degree. However, Republicans in the
Territory, though heartened by Tuesday’s results, should not
relax their support to Dwight Eisenhower and his Republican
running mates.
stormy weather” and personal differences between
members of the Democratic Committee for the Third Division
are some of the reasons for the failure of the Democratic
candidates to make a better showing in Tuesday’s election.
, Mark Twain said; “Everyone talks about the weather
but uoes nothing about it. To insure “sunny weather” in the
stateside election in November every Republican and Indepen
dent must vote. Write a letter now and do something about
the “political weather.”
Mildred E. Markhan has
filed suit for divorce from
Lynn W. Markham in Third
District Court. She has asked
for custody of their child.
Mr. and Mrs. Markham re
cently returned to Kodiak and
took over the operation of the
Montmartre Inn. Paul Dupler
is attorney for Mrs. Markham.
Helen Hallidav, Pacific Nor
thern Airline-employee, was
in Anchorage for two days.
All gasoline, stove and dei
sel oil has taken a slight raise
in Kodiak.
Gasoline went up three-ten
ths of a cent per gallon and
deisel and stove oil is up four
tenths of a cent per gallon.
Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia, Kodiak Oil Sales, who
handle Union Oil Company
of California products, and
[Thompson Transfer have all
' raised their prices accordingly.

THE "HUSKING BEE"
Tho the husking bee is usually remembered
as a social occasion, it was also a time for
work. What could have been a dull, boring
task was made so pleasant that we often
forget that the real purpose was to husk
the newly harvested corn.
We frequently experience a similar situation. Tho friends
and customers come to us to borrow money, they receive
an extra service that is often far more valuable. . . .help
with their financial planning, business contacts, and the
useful information that an active bank staff can provide.
It is that extra service that is so typically American. . . .
and profitable for all.
