,tary. When President Roosevelt
died he just stayed on.
Through all his years, Mr..
Hassett handled presidential cor
respondence. When some one
whom a President had been trying
earnestly to shelve. finally got the
idea and resigned" it was "Bill''
who voiced the deep regret" of
the President and promised to
call on the retiring official when
ever his services should again be
required.
''No" Letters Kindlier.
If the President desired to pay
tribute to some individual or or
|ganization, it was the prolific Has
|sett typewriter that went into ac-
ton. And so it went. A letter
requiring a mo-" was kindlier
than some "yesses."
About six months ago, writing in
Ia weekly publication, Mr.. Hassett
estimated that he had dictated
about 100000 letters for the
Roosevelt and Truman signatures.
And he couldn't resist the temp
tation at that point to pay his
respects to some Of the odd gentry
he had seen in action here.

Friend of Roosevelt.
Bill" or the Bishop" to the
thousands who have known him in
the Washington newspaper world
for more than 40 years, was a
long time friend of Franklin D.

ignation carried q familiar I'M
print. He bolstered his wish toI
leave with the comment that "the
Federal Government has always
been the haunt Of valuable civil
servants who marred otherwise
useful careers by a total disincli-
nation to relinquish public Office
voluntarily"
A native Of Northfield, VT,
Mr.. Hassett was born August %,
1880, and entered newspaper work
here in 1911. For a dozen years
afterwards, his time was divided
between Washington and London,
In service with the Associated
Press. United Press, Washington
Herald and Post and Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Later he went into
publicity work.
The Washington news world
was peopled with some rare char
acters in those earlier days, and
Mr.. HaSsett's description of the
times and men has furnished
hours Of entertainment to newer
generation.
1t was during his newspaper
work here that the young Hassett
met Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt. and
that friendship was terminated
only by Mr.. Roosevelt's death.
May Settle In Vermont.
Mr.. Hassett is unmarried, but
has kin in his rural Vermont
home, where he often has said
that he proposes to settle once
more.
In accepting the resignation,
Mr.. Truman penned across the
face of his own typewriter let
ter: ''P. s. Mr.. Hassett didn't get
this one up. The Old Man him
self did it."
Expressing sorrow that their Of
fetal association would end. the
President continued:
II have never had an associa-
ton with anyone that I appreci-
ated more than your association
with me as correspondence sec
retary to the President. No one
could have done the job better,
and I shall feel as if I have lost

BALTIMORE, July 16.-That

be nothing more than marsh gas,
according to a Johns Hopkins
University professor.
There must be a marsh out

SCHOOL ENDS WITH NO ADJUSTMENT IN TEACHERS SALARIES

The question of wage increases for members of the Palmer School District faculty remained unsettled last week as many of them left Palmer for vacations in the States.
 On Wednesday evening May 7th, committee of teachers at tended the Palmer Board of Edu- cation meeting to present the re- quest of the Teachers Association for a salary adjustment. Statis- tics were recited to show that cost of living was higher in Pal mer than in Anchorage, although slightly lower than Fairbanks. Also, the recent wage increases of the Anchorage and Fairbanks teachers were cited.
 The results of the cost living survey among Palmer teachers conducted by the Association showed that the average teacher had a net deficit at the end of the year.
 The benefits derived by the school, through teachers receiv- ing a sufficient wage, thus induc- ing them to remain longer in Palmer, were pointed out.
 An answer was requested by the Salary Committee regarding a salary adjustment by May 18th. No formal reply was received by that date by the teachers.
 At meeting of the teachers held the last day of school a re- quest was sent to the Board as1e. ing that all teachers be notified by mail by July 10th of the defin- ite decision of the Board regard ing a salary adjustment.
 Unless such an adjustment IS made, it is believed that there will be several vacancies on the Palmer School staff.

Attorney General Clarifies Law on Veterinarians Fees

The Territorial veterinarian is not restrained by Territorial law from retaining fees for treating dogs and cats, according to a re- cent decision made by Alaska Attorney General J. Gerald Will Hams.
 In answer to a letter from Commissioner of Agriculture Clyde G. Sherman, who had re- quested an opinion on this mat ter, the Attorney General stated: "-this Act (31-1-2 ACLA 1949) provides that feees or charges for services rendered by Territorial Veterinarians to farmers and others, at their request, in caring for livestock and poultry shall be transmitted to the Commis- sioner for deposit in the Territor- ial Treasury. A search of the cases reveals that generally the word livestock does not include dogs. Such was the case in (two citations). It is to be assumed that cats would fall in the same category.
 Therefore, it is my opinion that if, in the absence of an ad- ministrative ruling to the con- trarv, the Territorial Veterinari- an treats cats and dogs on his own time, he should be entitled to retain the fees for his ser vices"

 I think it occurred On May the Third, Bill ran smack into moose. The aged nose had recorded nc

 The bull was standing still. lThere was something wrong

 phat is this?" Jones thought. Great Scott, he's
 big.

 Or show him my caboose?" He had never visited Lynden- Having always declined the call; For one of his ilk Doesn't give much milk, In fact, scarcely lactates at all. This yarn about a Lynden dog And a Matanuska Moose Could go on forever Just like the Korean truce. But endorsements soon arrived; i; More dogs, and kids throwing
 stones. A half-ton of meat Made a hasty retreat. So this wag ends the tale of
 Billy, the Jones.

However, it occurs to our ca nine commentator that Billy's correspondence is being handled by a talented former Tribune poet, Paul Combs.

The Three EIks Find Intruder Is Not GoIdiIocks

Somebody broke into this win dow" said the Biggest Elk in a deep, bass voice.
 He walked on through the Elks' cottage with the middle sized Elk and the little Elk until he came to the first door.
 Who kicked in this door?" asked the middle-sized Elk in a middling baretone. But nobody answered, so the three Elks walk ed OF uEtil they came to another door. This door, also, was kicked in.
 Somebody's kicked in this door," observed the little Elk in a quavering tenor voice. The three Elks walked on until they had passed five doors-an kicked in. The fifth door led to the re- freshment pantry, which was all ways kept locked.
 Somebody's been in my pan try!" said the Biggest Elk. His voice was still deep and bass, but it belied the foolish look he gave the great big key that dang led from his watch chain.
 Meanwhile the middle-sized Elk had entered the pantry. Somebody's been drinking out of my bottle!" he yelled in hls middling baritone voice.
 Alarmed, the other two Elks investigated.
 Somebody's been drinking out of my bottle" said the little Elk in his quavering tenor voice. And it wasn't Goldilocks!"
 And then he pointed to the in- sensible form of a man lying on the floor, an empty bottle still clutched in his hand.
 This is one for the law" ob- served the Biggest Elk. And straightway he made for the phone, which had not been Wrenched from the wall. Deputy U. S. Marshal William Bouwens quickly appeared on the scene, and placed the rudely awakened man under arrest. Other officers of the law also arrived at the cottage, so the trapped man could not jump out of the window and escape.
 He was in no condition to be taken before the US. Commis- sioner, so after he had given his name as James Kenison and in- formed officers that he had been only ten days, he was taken to the Federal Jail in An chorage. The bewildered, little, man could not ac- count for his actions.
 Arraigned before U. S. Com Dorothy Saxton Mon day morning, Kenison wasl charged with the felony of break ing and entering on complaint of the Biggest Elk. Denison waived his rights to a preliminary hear ing and was bound over to the Grand Jury. He was returned ;o l the jail in Anchorage.

The Lynden (Washington) Tri- bune recently featured a letter and a poem from Billy Jones, a former resident who now makes his home in Palmer. The editor re- ported in his story that this was the first time his paper had ever received correspondence from a dog. The reprinted letter and poem follows:
 The Editor of The Lynden Tribune:

My name is Billy Jones, and until a few weeks ago I lived across the street from you. I am the dog of the Richard Jones family. This is perhaps the first letter you have ever received which was written by dog, at least I am the first ever to write you that would admit he was dog.

Everything is strange here except my inn mediate family, Dick, Gladys, Don, Ann and Bryan Jones. am very homesick and there are a lot of things here I don't like. En- closed is an account of one of my adventures which I would like the dogs I left behind to read, if you can find room for it in your paper. You have printed a lot worse doggerel, if I may say so, which was written by humans. Arf, arf, arf!
 Bless your bones,

IN CORDOVA last week Judge Anthony J. Dimond denied a re- quest for an injunction to pre- vent the city of Cordova from issuing bonds to purchase the electric, water and telephone fac ilities of the Alaska Public Util- ities. Three Cordova taxpayers had filed suit against the city charging that the $3o4,00O price the city had arranged to pay for the utilities was far beyond the property's value. In his decision Judge Dimond ruled against the plaintiffs and awarded the de- fendants court costs and attor- neys fees of $1,O00.
 IN SEWARD the School Board authorized a $400 blanket in- crease for it's teachers next year. With an increase of over 10 per cent in enrolment expected and a drop in Territorial rebates from 80 percent to 75 percent because the enrolment is over 300, the school budget totalled SPA, 188.75 for next year, an increase of S20,- 5o5 over the 1951-52 budget.

LEGION PLANS MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES
LOCAL AUXILIARY URGES EVERYONE TO
 JOIN IN REMEMBERING DEAD VETERANS

is Memorial Day.
 It is a special day set aside for honoring the dead heroes of this country's Wars-wars for the preservation of the democratic way of living, in which many of these men gave their lives.
 In Palmer appropriate cere- monies for honoring these depart ed Veterans will be conducted by the local American Legion Post at the Palmer Cemetery. All local organizations and individuals are invited to join in this solemn ob- servance of Memorial Day.
 Commander Stanley Laird of Matanuska Valley Post 15 an- nounced that the Memorial ser vices will begin as usual at II am. Members of the local Post will make up the color guard and the firing squad. Chaplain Eugene Kirsch will offer the rit- ual prayer.
 Remember on Memorial Day
 Mrs. Florence Dunlap, presi- dent of the American Legion Auxiliary called upon people of the Valley to remember the true purpose of Memorial Day. She asked that everyone set aside a few moments of the holiday to join in the special services honor ing the dead. She asked particu- larly that each organization send a representative to be present at the Legion-sponsored ceremony at the local cemetery.
 In Palmer the dead Veterans who will be honored are Edward Soderquist of the Spanish-Ameri- can War; Lloyd Bell, Laurence Dreghorn, Grant France, Ivan Johnson, and Bruno Ueeck of World War I; and Joseph Ander- son, Rudolph Dernac, William Granger, Darrell McKechnie, James Monahan, Lars Peterson, Albert Ring, Dale Sandvik and, w. Walker of World War II.
 Display Your Flags
 Mrs. Dunlap also reminded Valley citizens that Memorial Day is one on which the Ameri- can flag should be displayed. Ger tain respect is due this emblem of the United States of America at all times, and there are special customs to be observed in it's display on Memorial Day.
 On Memorial Day the flag is flown at half mast until noon in memory for the dead; it is then raised to full mast to signify that the Nation still lives. In rais- ing flag to half mast, it should first be raised to full mast and then lowered, from which posi- ton it should be raised to full mast before being lowered.
 When a flag passes in parade, spectators should stand at atten- ton and men should lift their hats. A stationary flag is not sal- uted.
 When a flag is carried with one other flag, it holds the place of honor, the marching right; with more than one flag, it is either at the marching right or carried in front of the other flags.
 When displaying flag across a street, the points of the compass are used: The blue field should point toward the north when hung across an east-west street; the blue should be toward the east when hung across a north south street.
 In hanging a flag against wall either horizontally or perpendi- cularly, the blue field should be at the spectators left.
 The flag should never be allow ed to touch the ground.
 The law specifically forbids the use of and the representation of the flag in any manner or in any with merchandise for sale.>
