(NOT SO FUNNY TODAY
JUNEAU MB — Lawmakers got
I a laugh early this week when
Rep. Bob Blodgett introduced a
resolution asking the federal gov
ernment to dig up the Alaska
Railroad and move it to the less
developed Northwest Alaska.
And they chuckled yesterday
when four humorists on the Fed
eral Relations Committee recom
mended the resolution “be fur
ther referred to the John Birch
Society for its consideration.”
But it wasn’t so darned funny
today when the official House
Journal reflected simply a “Do
Pass” recommendation by the
four committee members.
After futile attempts to straigh
ten the record out, the House de
cided to fix the measure but
good.
They expunged it from all
records which means that here
after HJR12 is just plain blank.
NEW DISPLAY CASE
A new display case is under
construction at the school for the
many city league trophies which
have been accumulating over the
years.
Managers and coaches of the
various teams are invited to bring
their trophies to this case which
will be near the west entrance of
the school, stated Con Potter.
School Janitor Honored
WARREN, Mich. UPi — Wm,
Pennow made a faithful contri
bution to education in the 29 years
he worked for the school systems
here.
To honor his dedication, the
Warren Consolidated School Dis
trict named an elementary school
after him.
Dr. Paul Cousino, school super
intendent, said Pennow’s name
was chosen for the new school
because of his “unfailing depend
ability under all circumstances
and his dedication and loyalty to
the school he serves.
Pennow has been a janitor for
the school system since 1923.
“It was a real surprise,” was
all he would say about the honor.

Chimp Blazes Way for
Safety of B-58 Bomber
Crews in Parachute Drop
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. —A sleepy female chim
panzee blazed a safety trail of
sorts Wednesday for B-58 bomb
er crews when she parachuted
20,000 feet — locked inside an
escape capsule.
The 700-pound capsule’s land
! ing was cushioned by four shock
absorbers like those on automo
biles.
Susie, a 90-pound, 10-year-old
chimp, had no compltaints, breath
ing a private oxygen supply. She’d
slept all the way down.
Air Force technicians planned
it that way. They gave Susie a
sedative before the test began.
On the strength of Susie’s suc
cess, the Air Force plans to eject
a human — not yet chosen — for
a similar capsule within two
weeks. The idea is to give B-58
crewmen greater protection from
the bomber’s slipstream when
they eject at high speeds.
The bomber was traveling 630
miles an hour — just under the
speed of sound — when a crew
man triggered an explosive charge
that ejected Susie’s capsule.
Future ejections will be at
tempted at higher speeds.
The chimpanzee’s heartbeat and
breathing were measured by in
struments during the descent. De
tailed findings weren’t made pub
lic, but observers said she ap
peared to withstand the trip in
good order.
HAVE A SURPLUS . . .
CATSKILL, N.Y. iff) — This
Hudson Valley village has a prob
lem many larger communities
wish they had: A perennial sur
plus in the treasury.
A state audit for the years 1958
61 noted: “In each year, general
fund revenues were in excess of
expenditures, resulting in operat
Iing surpluses.”
The cause, the audit report con
tinued, was “underestimating rev
enues and over-estimating appro
I priations.”
