The Chief of Police Roland
Vickery says he is going to carry
out a very unpleasant duty unless
motorists stop when a school bus
is loading or unloading children.
This applies BOTH WAYS, wheth
er approaching the school bus or
following behind it. The chief says
he is going to have to issue tickets
to motorists who fail to comply.
He has a territorial law that is
very specific on this point, to back
him up. It shouldn’t even be neces
sary to mention such a law. Good
common sense should tell the mo
torist what to do—STOP.

We herewith quote an interest
ing dissertation from the editor of
the Forsyth (Mont.) Independent,
on the subject of weather. No more
comment from this columnist is
necessary:
“Darned if I know why every
body is interested in the weather.
It’s the one thing under the sun
that Everybody should know about
without having to read it4 If it’s
blowing, they want to know what’s
going to be in the paper. If it’s
snowing, the same; if it’s raining,
the same; and last summer when
the mercury was boiling at 105
above they still wanted to know
what was going to be in the paper
' as regarded the weather.
“Don’t ever say we don’t aim to
please (and please don’t count the
misses). And with that comes this
week’s story on the weather:
“Several inches of snow are on
the ground at this time . . . with
a warmer day this is expected to
melt - next spring at the latest.
“The temperature may remain
the same for some time if it does
n’t get colder or warmer . . .
“There will be windy days, and
days when the wind does not blow.
At tiiAes it may appear that a
warmer trend is developing, but
that doesn't necessarily mean it
will be that way. May even get
colder. Nobody knows for sure. On
the other hand, it could get warm
er. No body knows for sure about
that either. BUT IF IT DOESN’T
EVER WARM UP it’s going to be
a gol-danged blankety-blank long
winter. You can bet on that, too.’1
Sitka, Alaska is taking a step in
the right direction in city planning
They have what is known as a
Workable Program for urban de
velopment. This has met the ap
proval of Administrator Albert M
Cole of the Housing and Home Fi
nance Agency. Sitka is now able
to proceed with the urban renewal
projects in that community to eli
minate any incipient slum condi
tions. Federal funds for planning
and renewal activities can be made
available to assist Sitka. Mortgage
insurance from FHA and other fi
fancial aids to builders are brought
into play by this action. It could
be that Kodiak might benefit by
such a program.

Two women of pioneer stock
leave their western homes and
families for a trip to Alaska in
spite of dock strikes and other in
cidents. The gay adventurers chart
an amusing and informative ac
count of their trip aboard the S.
S. Alaska, and meet interesting
and striking people when they go
ashore. “Two Towels and an Or
ange,” gives an account of their
adventures. The booh is by Gwen
B. Mallory and Iris Short.
Fact and rumor are hard some
times to sift r out, especially in a
newspafe&r office. The integrity of
a newspaper is based on furnish
ing facts to its readers. One
such rumor was easily spiked this
week, however, when the word
spread that yours truly and his
wife were on the Kodiak Airways
