and peer through grating near
The curb.
Lost som'n, lady?" Gimpy
asked her.
"a locket," said the woman. "It
isn't worth much, but 1t has a pic
ture of baby"
There were neither cops nor ca
mines In sight. "Tll git 1t fer ya."
said Gimpy.
From a Prince Albert tin he took
chunk Of tar and held match
under it until 1t was sticky. Then
he lowered it on a string and began
to maneuver it over the locket.
AT THAT MOMENT, Officer Fog
arty rounded the corner. "This
time I'm runnin' va in," he said.
"Playin' hockey and obstructin'
traffic at one and the same time"
I'm only tryn' ia git this lady
the pitcher of her baby" said
Gimpy.
In exactly one minute and 46
seconds, our leader delicately
eased the Ioeket through tho
grating, pulled is free from The
tar and handed il to its 0Une,.
"Tbanks," said The W0msn.
"Ifs the only picture l have of
baby"
Lets get goin'," said Fogarty.
Stalling for time, Gimpy said to
the woman, "Wouldja min i'm

snapped open the locket. Inside
was a picture Of a mean-lookins
pekinese pup.

Gimpy. ''It's a lousy dawg."

man." said the. woman. 'Baby's
won more blue ribbons than you

Gimpy slowly stuffed string and
tar back into the empty tin ane
dropped it down the grating. Ther
he turned to Fogarty.
"Okay. "copper"" he said. ''Do VI

treatment.
AS he grew older and more am
bilious. Gimpy did less and less
angling on the lower East Side
where the droppin's. and therefore
the pickin's, were slim. Instead, he
invaded the usher territories to
the north, and finally settled on
the gratings near the Union Square
subway where. If the streets were
not paved with gold, at least the
ventilation shafts yielded reason
able amount Of silver.
THE COP on 14th street In those
days was one Ike Fogarty, a cyni-
cal gent who always suspicioned
that while Gimpy was fishing In
the subway, an accomplice was
fishing in the spectators pockets.
But he was never able to pin any
thing on the kid, and this irked him
so much that he finally threatened
to pull him in for obstructing traf-
fic the next time he caught him.

ONLY PALMER HAS NO DEFINITE PLAN FOR CELEBRATION

Palmer may not have formal Fourth of July program of it's own planned, but Valley resi- dents will have wide choice of holiday functions, which they may attend.
 Neighbor cities on either side of Palmer have planned the days program to include residents of the town. Wasilla will commence an afternoon of celebration at it's baseball field at noon on Tues day. Among the events scheduled on the outdoor list of activities is a softball game between Wasilla's VFW team and Palmer's Ameri- can Legion squad.
 In Anchorage, the American Legion has planned a day-long program of sports events, con- tests, a baseball game and pa- rade. Valley folk are invited to come early to Anchorage and spend the day. Both Anchorage and Wasilla celebrations will con- clude with a dance.
 In Palmer, there will be a priv ately sponsored dance at the Butte Hall on the evening of the Fourth. During the day, the Barry resort at Finger Lake has invited all Valley residents to participate in a free barbecue there.
 Meanwhile, as Palmer makes no plans to celebrate, full-scale plans were announced by number of other towns and cities in Alaska. Here's how the rest of Alaska will be celebrating the national holiday:
Valley frontiersman., 1950-06-30
Juneau

A four-day holiday celebration, at which King and Queen Juneau will reign, is planned for the Fourth at the capitol city, The event opens with a coronation ball Saturday evening, when the selected king, whose identity will be a closely-guarded secret, will be named.
 Juneau's queen will be chosen on the basis of beauty and popu- Iarity, and will be elected by popular ballot. However the king will be picked by a secret com mittee of three businessmen. His qualifications? He must be 2O- year resident of Alaska, 10year resident of Juneau, and have been outstanding in community service during that residence.
 Rain will be no damper on Ju- neau's celebration, for mayor Waino Hendrickson has arranged for the use of a warehouse at the city's waterfront, in which to set up rides and concessions.
 There will be two night dis plays of fireworks, in addition to rockets which will be fired dur ing daylight hours.
 Teen-agers plan a square dance demonstration in front of their club, as their part of the holiday celebration.

turn. However the men who won in earlier years, were rugged, the record shows. One winner, Max Shellabarger, took the marathon crown one Fourth afternoon, and went on to win boxing match by a knockout later that evening. Other winners of other years have come to Anchorage, immediately after the Mt. Marathon climb, and have taken the honors in the annual Anchorage run.
 Ralph Hatch has won the race for the past four years. His rec ord has been progressively poorer each year, indicating, so old timers say, that the face of the mountain is changing, with the climb becoming more difficult each year.
 Although the race is open to anyone who is physically able to compete, it has never been won by other than Seward resident.
 MT. Hatch will try again for his fifth victory, in next Tuesdays re-running of the event.

Fairbanks

A four-day Days of '98" cele- bration will mark the Fourth of July in Fairbanks. Bearded and costumed sourdoughs will walk the streets of Fairbanks for those four days--all others will suffer at the hands of the vigilante com mittee.
 The celebration will be built around gold-mining and will in- clude gold-panning contests, hard rock drilling contests and other appropriate competitive events. A midway will be set up, to run the full four days of the cele- bration.

Kodiak

A giant parade and a carnival at the Community Center will highlight Kodiak's annual Fourth of July celebration. Other events on the day-long program, which opens with the parade at 10 a.m., include the traditional base-to- town marathon, outboard motor boat races, and lavish display of
 works.

Kodiak residents will crowd their celebration into the Fourth proper. Festivities culminate with free dancing at the Community Center, following the fireworks display.

Seward


 Stewards historic marathon, the highlight of that city's Fourth of July celebration each year, began as a wager, probably in 1916 or 1917. The story goes that Sew ard groceryman offered to bet that Mt. Marathon could be climbed, with the runner return ing to his point of beginning, in an hour. Other Seward business men thought differently.
 A clerk in the groceryman's store offered to try the climb, and he made the round trip in one hour and 20 minutes.
 Later records on the race have not been carefully kept, and it is not certain what is the all time record for the climb and re-
