SODA-FENSIVE AGAINST COLDS
The cold bugs are out on their annual spree
And they’ve got their sights on you and me.
The cat and dog and even canary,
So all the family had better be wary.
Your best defense is to be mobilized
By getting your system alkalized.
Take a little bicarbonate every day.
*Tis said to keep the cold at bay.
If you fail to arm and germs attack,
Bicarb’s still the weapon . . . now that’s a fact.
When mixed with water and citrus juices
Cold’s striking power it greatly reduces.
Invitations Extended
To Alaska Mushers For
The Nome Dog Derby
The “All Alaska Championship”
—Arctic Sled Dog Races will be
held March 29 and 30. Two day
races of 20 miles each with best
time being proclaimed the winner.
Nome races have been held since
1908 and made famous by old time
mishers—as Scppala, Kasson, Rohn,
Carey and many others.
Prizes and trophys will be pre
sented at the Arctic Club Carnival.
As an added feature, there will
be for the first time, a Sno-Travel
er race in the state over 20 miles
of rugged Alaska terrain.
Alaska Airlines advises that they
are applying to the CAB for an
excursion rate to be effective
March 25 to April 2.
Invitation is being extended to
all Alaska mushers to compete
against Isaac Okleasik, last year’s
sweepstake winner.
It takes persistence to be an
author. William Faulkner’s book
“Sound and Fury” was turned
down by 13 publishers. It took
Theodore Drieser and Erskine
Caldwell seven years to get their
first novels published.
Ulbricht Tells West
Germans Not to Trust U.S.
BERLIN UP> — Walter Ulbricht,
East German Communist leader,
ended his party’s sixth congress
i today with a warning to West Ger
many not to put too much trust
in the United States.
The spade-bearded Red chieftain
said events in Cuba have shown
there is a new power in the
world the United States cannot
defy. He made plain he meant that
power is the Soviet Union.
Ulbricht asked for talks with
West Germany on a basis of equali
ty with a view to federating the
two parts of the country and event
ually reunifying them.
This is an old demand, repeated
ly rejected in the West. East
Germany’s satellite regime rules
17 million people—a third as many
as there are in West Germany—
and has never held a free election.
The windup came after a week
highlighted by the clash between
Khrushchev and the Communist
Chinese for leadership of the
world Communist movement.
It was Wilson Mizner who ob
served, “I respect faith, but doubt
is what gets you an education.”

“ Best Water In Alaska ”
Democrats
Stage Inaugural
Anniversary
Extravaganza
WASHINGTON — Democrats
who banked about $1 million Fri
day night with an inaugural anni
versary extravaganza for Presi
dent Kennedy were prodded Sat
urday “to start working now and
keep on working until the last
vote is counted in 1964.”
Chairman John Bailey said in a
report to the party National Com
mittee that despite the repulse of
Republican assaults on the Demo
cratic congressional majority, last
November’s balloting flew some
danger signals for the next Presi
dential election.
He said there are 20 million
adults who are not registered to
vote — “and most of them are
Democrats.” He urged hard work
to get them registered and to the
polls.
“In 1960,” he said, “the Republi
cans increased their congressional
vote by 45 per cent over 1958. We
increased ours by only 36 per cent.
Then in 1962 the Republican con
gressional vote decreased only 16
per cent while ours dropped 32
per cent.” *
The chairman sounded his note
in the aftermath of party enthu
siasm over the success of a $1,000
a plate dinner and a $100 a ticket
variety show gala at which Presi
dent Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy
starred.
When the show was over, Ken
nedy sounded the only serious note
of the evening when he told the
crowd: “A party is of no use unless
; it fulfills some national purpose.
I said the other day in the State
of the Union message that wTe are
not on the top of the hill, but
on the side of the hill.
“I don’t think in this administra
tion or in my generation or time
will this country be at the top of
the hill, but some day it will be,
and I hope when it is, that they
will think that we have done our
part.”

Three Navy Men Lose Legs
In Aircraft Carrier Mishap
SAN DIEGO. Calif. UP) — “One
advantage of a wooden leg,” the
Asst. Secretary of the Navy said
“you’re not as susceptible to colds.”
The speaker, Asst. Secretary
Kenneth Be Lieu, unbuckled his
left leg at a naval hospital Friday
and showed it to Ensign Leroy
Hudson, of San Diego.
Hudson, 31, lost a limb and two
other Navy men lost both legs
last Tuesday when a cable snapped
and cut across the deck of the
carrier USS Constellation. The
cable, used to snag incoming
planes and bring them to a halt
on the deck, failed to hold when
a jet fighter came in for a landing.
Be Lieu, who lost his leg in
Korea, told Hudson: “I know ex
actly how you feel.”
Nearby were the two men who
lost both legs. Seaman Gordon
Bucknam, 19, Grand Island, N.Y.,
and Chief Aviation Boatswain’s
Mate Eugene Williams, 37, Nation- j
al City, Calif.
Be Lieu told them they could do
everything with artificial limbs
they could do with their own legs.
He told Hudson he would be able |
to remain the Navy.
Red China Terms JFK's Budget
As Funds to Carry Out Aggression
TOKYO (#) — Peking’s New
China news agency gave a long
account Saturday of President Ken
nedy’s budget message to Congress,
saying it called for unprecedented
expenditures to carry out aggres
sion.
It said the President also had
made clear “that during the 1963
64 fiscal year, the United States
would send more arms to its allies.”
The purpose of this, Peking said,
would be “to urge them to follow
the United States in arms expan
sion and war preparations.”

Lasting Momento For
Babies At MMM Hospital
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Schneider
and their new horn baby, Jackie
Ann, were presented with the first
inscribed birth certificate as they
left the MMM Hospital this week.'
“One of these beautiful birth
certificates will be presented in
the future to all parents of babies
born at the MMM Hospital,” the
administrator said.
The inscribed birth certificates
arc as elegant as a college diploma.
The certificates, moreover, are
printed by a special litho-graving
process on the longest lasting ma
terial known—diploma parchment
said to be as enduring as the parch
ment scrolls of ancient Egypt. Al
though centrally preserved birth
records are now the recognized
official documents of birth, the
certificates when signed by the
doctor and a hospital official, pro
vides a last memento of one of
the great moments of maily life
“We have many tilings to be
proud of in our hospital,” Dr. Fen
stermacher said, “these new certi
ficates are one more step in our
, effort to provide the best possible
j service to our maternity patients.”
One of history’s most notable
hypochrondriaes was Dr. Samuel
Johnson, the lexicographer. He
was obsessed by the idea he would
lose his wits. Among his many
strange delusions was his convic
tion that he would get drunk if he
ate an apple.
