Letters to the Editor
For or Against?
The following letter, dated
Sept. 18, was signed by Waino
Hakkinen, Box G, Kenai, Alaska.
Dear Mr. Editor:
In reference to the franchise
of power to the City of Kenai,
I wish to make one comment: In
the 11 years that I have lived
here we have had but two out
ages. In my selfish opinion, it
seems like one (?) company
wants to monopolize or try to
monopolize power in this city.
After reading your news item
with question marks all over the
article, let us have names of the
councilmen who voted for or
against our present power com
pany.
Waino Hakkinen
Yours truly,
P. S.—Unless there is strict se
curity as to eouneilmen’s votes—
let’s forget the whole thing.—
Waino Hakkinen.
(Editorial comment — A check
with Kenai City Council mem
bers reveals that none of them
as yet has had an opportunity to
approve or disapprove of continu
ing with the present power com
pany. Officials of the company
will meet with the Council next
Tuesday to present a draft for
an ordinance on a franchise
agreement. Council members may
at that time suggest changes in
the draft, but voting on the fran
chise itself will be up to the
people of Kenai and will not be
decided upon by a vote, either
for or against, by Council mem
bers alone.)
Ski AH Year
At Mt. Alyeska
Visiting summer sightseers at
Alaska’s Mt. Alyeska are often
suprised, upon boarding the mile
long double chairlift up the moun
tain, to see others getting on the
lift with skis and poles and wear
ing ski togs. The visitor quite
naturally wonders if perhaps this
isn’t rushing the season a bit.
The pleasant fact is that skiing
is never out of season on Mt.
Alyeska — whose summit boasts
white cover, the year around.
The same visitor, arriving at
Juneau, the state capital, may be
just as surprised to see skiers
lashing their equipment atop
helicopter skids then taking off
in the direction of the Juneau
icecap. There, too, a perpetual
blanket of snow provides excel
lent skiing 12 months of the
year.
Moral of which is: If you’re a
true ski buff, bring your skis
with you on your summer trip
to Alaska.
The big majority of the summer
lift riders at Mt. Alyeska take
the popular excursion only for
the fabulous scenic view from
the shelter at the top of the ride
-—of eight different glaciers, the
waters of the Pacific Ocean, and
the picturesque little city of
Girdwood. located 32 miles from
Anchorage on the paved Seward
Highway.

Chiropractors
Observe Sept. 18
As Anniversary
Dr. Clarence O. Risch, Anchor
age chiropractor, has called at
tention to Sept. 18 as the date
on which the 66th anniversary of
the discovery of chiropractic was
observed.
Doctor Risch, a member of the
House of Delegates of the Na
tional Chiropractic Association,
said the event was observed as
National Chiropractic Day.
He said the observance spon
sored by the nation’s second lar
gest profession of healing was
celebrated throughout the world
in honor of Dr. Daniel David
Palmer, credited with the discov
ery of the practice of chiropractic.
Doctor Risch said special at
tention already has been called
to the event in the Congressional
Record in which the general
theme of the observance — pro
motion of good health — is ex
tensively discussed.
The specified function by which
the chiropractor is distinguished
from other modes of healing is
his adjustment of vertebral sub
luxation of the spinal column to
restore normal nerve function,
Doctor Risch said.

Japan Shows Interest
In Alaska Resources
Commissioner Phil R. Holds
worth, back from a 10-day offi
cial visit to Japan, reported keen
interest among Japanese indus
try in active participation in
Alaska’s resource development.
Among other things Holds
worth said keen interest was ex
pressed in petroleum products,
including liquefied natural gas.
Japan is presently constructing
especially designed vessels for
the transport of liquefied natural
gas produced by Japanese indus
try in the Middle East. Again,
Alaska’s proximity to Japan
makes this particular product
extremely attractive to the Japa
nese consumer.
Now in Wisconsin
Kay Munson, daughter of Mr
and Mrs. Albert Munson of Ke
nai, is currently in Wisconsin
Rapids, Mich. Kay completed her
junior year at Kenai high school
last spring and was employed
by the Cheechako News during
the summer. She writes that there
are 1300 attending school at
Wisconsin Rapids.
Freight rates to the Far East
have decreased in the past four
years although ocean freight to
“home areas" of Hawaii, Guam
and Alaska have been increased.
There have been no freight in
creases on the Far East trade
route since May 1957 and there
have been hundreds of reductions,
ranging from 9 per cent to 58
per cent on some 95 tariff items
representing 53 per cent of the
total tonnage.
