THE WINNER!

We don't know that The Sen tineIs offering a free subscription to the first newlyWeds of this year had much to do with it but the ink had hardly dried on last weeks ed ition when Miss Betty Desmond and Pvt. Kjell Nore announced their engagement and got married The rush to get married could also be attributed to the fact that the army doesn't grant indefinite far loughs regardless of what a recuit- ing officer tells you.
 However, The Sentinel congratu- lates the newlyweds and enters their name on the subscription list.
 And, incidentally, in spite of it being Leap Year, the new Mrs Nore says no, she didn't have to pop the question.
 (Remember girls, only 354 more days in Leap Year.)

 Tn other words. it's a campaign year and political smog will be the order Of the day Don't blame the ground hog for not coming out un- til February 9. He doesn't want to get trampled by the horde of can didates who have until the closing hour of February 1 to get in their declarations. After all, the ground hog just wants spring; not to spring into office.
 Some of the more ambitious have already filed and it's foregone conclusion there will be many more in the next 2I days.

Status of Statehood

Last September, the Governors conference failed, for the first time in several years. to pass a resolu- ton endorsing Alaska statehood al though Gov. Gruening is reported to have taIl-talked Gov Herman Talmadge of Georgia and thus made Drew Pearson's column. Governors instead adopted a resolution calling for an elective Governor.
 Last Saturday Republicans in Anchorage adopted a resolution for Alaska statehood which they plan to submit to the COP convention in San Francisco for inclusion in the national platform. It provides for Alaskan control of Alaska resources and is reported to be somewhat in conflict with the Bartlett bill. They think it will get considerable sup port from those not completely sat isfied with the present bill.
 Wednesday, President Truman in his state of the union message to Congress again urged statehood for Alaska and Hawaii as he has done previously. If Congress does as it has been doing with some of the rest of the Truman program, noth- ing will come of it.
 Ike's Acquiescence
 Big political news of the week (and what isn't political in this year of 1952?) was General Dwight D. Eisenhowsr's acquisscence to the campaign of Senator Lodge and others to get him the Republican nomination for President. The Cen eral worded it rather neatly. Said he:
 "Of course, there is no question of the right of American citizens to organize in pursuit of their com mon convictions. I realize that Sen- ator Lodge and his associates are exercising this right in an attempt to place before me next July a duty that would transcend my present responsibilities"
 A man who can say yes that smoothly is likely to go places in the political arena.
 Another Title for Henry?
 If the Gruening left wing bloc is successful at Anchorage next week when the Democrats meet il Territorial convention, Henry Ro. den, Territorial Treasurer and "Ad miral'' of the Territorial navy, th' ferry Chilkoot. may wind up with still another title. Ex-Senator ant ex-Attorney General Roden is beinl pushed by the bloc for Territorial Chairman to succeed ex-Senato Victor c. Rivers of Anchorage They had Henry slated for Diyis- ional Chairman at the Sitka con vention but little subtle maneuv ering put Dan Dolye in the job so now they are grooming Henry fo greater things.

New Police Chief

Steve Red" yergala was ap- pointed city patrolman to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of George Kuntz a month ago. Both Vergala and the late Norman Bak- Ike have been holding down the job temporarily until a new appoint ment could be made.
 Vergala requested that additional red warning lights be installed 10 aid him in his patrol work. These lights are placed on light poles d. round town and turned on when the policeman is wanted on the telephone but is out on the street. The matter was referred to the police committee.
 In other business the council au- thorized the city clerk to purchase a bookkeeping machine to handle the city records to do the biling and posting. and gave no objection to Joe Petticrews request to build Ia warehouse at the head of the bay.

Tenn, worlds lightweight
champion, who will appear at
the Hardin high school gym
here tomorrow (Friday) night,
sponsored by Hardin Amvets, is
said to be the most scientific
wrestler in the women's divis-
ion. Known as the "girl with
the thousand holds" she has
never been defeated by any
one of her weight. She has
proved to be a favorite with the
crowd, since she depends on
speed and science, rather than
rough tactics to defeat her OPP
ponents.

tie royal, and an added attrac-
ton - Young Sampson, said
to be the worlds strongest
wrestler, who pulls a loaded
