‘Miss -Alaska' Contestant May Be
Sought 5n Kodiak Next Year by C. of C.
“Miss Alaska” fon 1959 could be
chosen from the Kodiak Island
area, according to plans now being
studied, should this area come up
with a contestant that meets the
requirements.
The idea was suggested in a
letter from the Greater Anchorage
Incorporate, to the Kodiak Cham
ber of Commerce. The contestant,
if chosen in a competition to be
held in that city, would go to At
lantic City to compete in the Miss
America contest.
The matter was discussed fol
lowing the reading of the letter
at the Thursday meeting of the
Chamber at the Island Fountain.
The letter was turned over to
Eldon Lester for further study, by
the president, O.K. Kincaid.
The “Miss Alaska” contest will
be held in Anchorage in April of
next year. The young lady select
ed to represent the whole of
Alaska will then be sent to Atlan
tic City in September. She will
thus have the opportunity to win
$354300 in scholarships, and the
many other prizes offered her
later,
Qualifications necessary are that
she was not less than 18 years old,
a d rot more than 28 years old.
She must never have been marri
ed. She must be t-denied in either
s aging, playing a musical instru
ment, dancing, dress designing or
dramatics. She must be able to
provide a three minute routine in*
the fields of entertainment men
tioned. She must also have been a
resident of the state for six months
prior to the competition.
Sponsoring a candidate would
not be limited to the Chamber of
Commerce. Any club, organization
or group could also sponsor whom
they chose. The view was express
ed that the local contestants serve
as queen contestants in the pro
posed second annual king crab
festival to be held next Spring.

HOW-TO HINTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Advice to the Man: Be Subtle
The guy that says, “Honey, I’d
sure like a new outboard motor
for Christmas,” is likely to end up
receiving a vibrating sofa to re
duce his waistline.
This is only natural. “Surprise”
is a key word come Christmas
morn. Everybody likes to surprise
everyone else with gifts that they
know they want but don’t think
they’re going to get. That pleased
smile when a guy opens his pack
age is a pleasure that no. wife is
going to pass up.
So be sly about it, fellows, an
outboard manufacturer suggests.
The firm has had a lot of experi
ence helping inexperienced women
avoid buying 70-horsepower giants
for 17-foot canoes, and they’ve
come up with some helpful hints
on Christmas hinting.
Now’s the time, they suggest, to
complain about the sore back your
old kicker gave you. Or, you can
commence flavoring youf conver
sation with some nautical terms.
Tell your wife she has a nice look
ing “lower unit,” or is developing
a certain amount of “horsepower.”
Mention such things as a "titled
powerhead,” “no shear pins,” or
“that lucky stiff, Pete Smith, just
got a new 22-horsepower out
board.” When you have her on the
right track you’ll know it. A few
days later she’ll ask you an inno
cent question about “Pete’s new
motor.” This is the time to get her
straightened *>ut, but don’t be
obvious about it
Use the same techniques when
you’re angling for a new fishing
rod or tackle box. Bring your old
equipment into view, putter over
it, and innocently express your
views on replacement. Answer her
questions, but never come right
out and say you wfcnt something.
After all, most of the fun of
Christmas is in giving. Don’t de
prive her of that pleased smile,
that look of genuine surprise, when
you open up a package containing
exactly what you want.
Dangerous Flares
Found by Police
Several Ground Green Star
Cluster Signal devices were pick
ed up on the old city dump by a
patrolman, and turned over to
Chief of Police Vickery.
The signal devices are listed as
pyrotechnics and are considered a
“dangerous fire hazard.” They
would ignite in a hot fire, and are
difficult to hoze down, according
to authorities. Used as a flare in
case of distress,, the head can be
detonated by striking it with a
hammer.
Chief Vickery urges persons who
threw these on the old city dump
to refrain from doing so, because
of the fire hazard, and also for the
safety of children who might find
them.
NOTICE
Due to the necessity for cover
ing garbage daily, dumping of re
fuse at the land-fill near City Hall
is prohibited after 3 p.m. daily
and on Sunday all day until furth
er notice.
