favor is its position on the roll
call. Alaska is last. ' *
"So, after everyone else has
voted and I see how the totals
stand, who do you think I’m go
ing to cast my vote for? Why the
winner, of course!”
“But what if you have to cast
the deciding vote?” Senator Snid
er was asked. “What if one of
those candidates has 603 votes on
the first ballot and you have a
chance either to cinch the nomi
nation with your vote or make
necessary another ballot. Whaf
will you do then?”
But if Snider has to make such
a historic decision, he’ll make
it himself—after he’s had a chance
to size up the two main candidat
es. Although this is Heinie’s
first assignment as a national con
vention delegate, he is not lack
ing in political experience. In
1946 he was nominated and elect
ed as member of the Territorial
House of Representatives. He was
returned to the Territorial legis
lature for a four year term in 1950
after being elected to the Senate
from the Third Division. He will
be the only Third Division hold
I
over in the next session of thi
Territorial legislature.
In Chicago, Snider will stay a
the Hotel Morrison with the res
of the Alaska delegation. Beside:
the other two delegates, Heralt
Stringer, John Manders, and Mrs
Alberta Moore will go to the con
vention as alternates. Also plan
ning to go from the Third Divi
sion are E. Wells Ervin, Pau
Robison, J. C. Morris, Bruce Ken
dall, Walter Hickel, and J. L. Me
Carrey.
Asked if he was going to weai
a parka and mukluks, Snider re
vealed some knowledge of pre
vious convention discomforts. He’:
going to wear a new light weighl
suit. Only his ties will proclairr
his origin. They’re {aoth hand
painted by a friend. One pictures
a dog team, an aurora borealis
and an Alaskan cabin; the other
a captioned picture of Heinie
Snider, Alaska Territorial Sena
tor. ,
Besides a repertoire of good
Alaskan stories, Heinie is taking
along a few Matanuska Valley
potatoes—small ones, of course,
because the big one wouldn’t fit
in his satchel.

; Nearly Fatal for
; Local Youngster
David Sands, 8-year-old son o
Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Sandi
narrowly escaped death from suf
focation Friday afternoon whilt
1 pursuing a current, local child
hood prank of sniffing gas tanks
Only the quick action of Chery
Sands, David’s 11-year-old sistei
prevented the possible tragedy
The youngster already had beer
overcome by gas fumes from e
small outboard motor when his
sister discovered him. Hastily she
phoned the operator, Mrs. Alice
Smith, and asked her to summor
help. Mrs. Smith relayed the caL
to Deputy U. S. Marshal Bil;
Bouwens and Sergeant Stan Laird
of the Highway Patrol. Both of
ficers rushed to the Sands home
on Wasilla Road, where they
found David unconscious and ly
ing with Ijis nose in a small pool
of gasoline that had spilled out
of the motor onto the sand. After
administering emergency first aio
treatment on the spot, they rush
ed the boy to Valley Hospital ano
summoned Dr. C. C. Bailey for
further emergency aid.
Dr. Bailey said that David was
very close to the suffocation
point when the timely aid was
rendered. Monday, after the boy
was past all danger and had been
released from the hospital, Dr.
Bailey warned parents that gaso
line fumes can cause suffocation
when inhaled for a sufficien*
length of time. The fumes have
a toxic effect similar to that of
the more deadly carbon monoxide
poisoning if inhaled directly.
Virginia Carle is now in Oak
land, California, where she is
visiting her sister, Mrs. Clyde
Garrett. She Is thinking about turning to Palmor about August
going on to Mexico before re* 1.
