VA Warns Against Insurance Lapse
The habit of “riding the 31-day
1 grace period" has caused the lapse
of GI insurance policies for many
hundreds of veterans in recent
years, John C. Denny, Manager of
the Juneau Veterans Administra
tion Regional Office said this week.
Too many veterans on “grace
period” time forget their final
deadlines, and eventually allow
their policies to lapse, often at a
time when their dependents need
protection the most.
Denny advised veterans to make
up that monthly payment that they
may be running behind, even if
they have been making their pay
ments each time during the grace
period.
CONGRATULATIONS
Roscoe Wilke — on winning the
post of Mayor — and to all who
supported me in the campaign and
voted for me. thank you. It would
have been an honor to serve you.

Florida Eyes Approaching
125-MPH Hurricane
MIAMI. Fla. (jP — Hurricane
Flora hammered across Haiti to
dav. then thrashed into the wind
ward passage and began battering
the eastern tip of Cuba’s Oriente
Province.
Forecasters in the Miami weath
er bureau feared that a story of
great damage, and probably a high
death toll, would come out of
Haiti when contact was re-estab
lished.
During the night, a ham radio
operator in Haiti was heard by sev
eral Miami amateurs reporting
“heavy damage.” He then went
off the air abruptly, probably be
cause of power failure or the loss
of his antenna.
For nine hours last night and
today, Flora pounded Haiti with
140-mile-an-hour fury. By 11 a.m.
today, it was just off mountainous
Oriente. Top winds, which had
dropped to 115 miles an hour over
Haiti, had steamed back up to 125.
Until today, forecasters had felt
that the hurricane would not
threaten Florida. But the 11 a.m.
advisory noted that the steering
currents in the storm had weak
ened and ‘‘its eventual track with
reference to the Florida penin
sula is unpredictable.”
George Eningowuk and Hubert
Payenna were both found guilty
of larceny after a burglary charge
had been reduced. They were both
hand a 180 day sentence after
pleading guilty to larceny.
Timothy Kunnuk pleaded guilty
to a charge of drunk as a minor
and was given 120 days.
Richard Nershak Sr. pleaded
guilty to drunk and disorderly and
was hit with $25 and 20 days sus
pended.
Harlan Iyakitan pleaded guilty
to drunk and was fined $25 with
10 days suspended.
