MEMORY TEST. A great many of our

boy on our cover who is so heroically recitinp

inattentive classmates.

now we find our memory is far from accurate.
We suspect most of our readers experienced
the same fade-out. If you'd like to test your
self, just try to complete the following stanza:
Then up sbGke brave HorGtiuS,
The Captain Of the Gate:

And hOtV can man die better
Than facing fearful odds. -

The CHARACTER ! COULDN'T KILL
by II. Allen Smith

AutItOr Of ''Snsith's London Journal" !" etc.
Evening star., 1953-05-10

A famous humOrist tells the odd
story of Jonathan Stitch, a man
with his own recipe for happiness
CONE years ago was working on piece of
- fiction when, without my permission an elderly
character by the name of Jonathan Stitch in
sinuated himself into the manuscript.
Hewas a tall, leisuely man with white mustache,
a Westerner, and on the surface he appeared to be
man Of little worth. Yet he had one remarkable
characteristic - he was consistently and uninter-
ruptedly happy. In the brief time he appeared in
my story, most of the people who crcled about
him were neurotic and querulous. But Jonathan
Stitch remained contented man, and with that
contentment it was clear that he was good man.
There came point in the story where an ac-
quaintance said to him: Jonathan, how on earth
do you manage to keep yourself so serene?"
Before could stop him. Jonathan said:
''Well, III tell you live every day as if it we're
my last day on earth live today as if I'll never
see the dawn tomorrow"

NELSON TOP MAN IN COH0 DERBY

Arthur B. NelsOn-COuncilm that is. and candidate for mayor landed an eleven pound coho salmon near Yank Island Wednesday night to take the lead in Buness Bros. cohO derby. This weeks derby closes Sunday at midnight so there is still a chance the local politician will be beaten-in the salmon derby, that is.
 The fish was weighed in by official L. NJ. Williams, Jr., son of the present mayor, after unim.- peachable witnesses, Brander Castle and John Whannell, testified to the following:
 The fish was a coho, even if 1t looked like dog; 1t was caught legally, in spite of the gillnet marks on it: and the three and a half pounds of lead found in the mouth of the fish could not count towards it's weight as it is not considered to be standard equipment with cohos.

FISHING SEASON IN STATUS quo

Howard Baltzo, assistant regional director of the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service, who overnighted in Wrangell last night and returned to Juneau this morning, said no thing thus far has been decided as 10 further closings or openings of commercial fishing areas.
 He reported there was some showing of pink salmon off the coast but whether it would develop in sizeable body remained to be seen. Generally over the Southeast area he said the situation was vir- tually a blank, comparable with last season, one of the poorest years.
 There was a sizeable body of fish in the Icy Strait area and Regional Director Clarence Rhode flew there today to look at the sit uation.
 Baltzo said he expected the dis. triets now open would remain open next week but no definite decision has been made yet However, a def nite announcement will be made tomorrow clarifying the open and :losed areas after survey reports are in.

#H THROUGH THE SENTINEL PFRTSCOPE
To Hear The Little Men"

The report has t that Senator Hugh Butler and his Senate com mittee on Territories and InsulaI Affairs came to Aloska this week To see what the little men thought about statehood so he didn't stop at Wrangeu and Petersburg. Must be we're all big men" oround these parts. and apparently the situation appears 10 be the same for Sitka SkagWay. Haines, CordOYa, Aaldez and Kodiak At any rate, the Sena tors sought the little men in Ketehikan. Juneau. Fairbanks An chorage and Point Barrow. Even Senators like 10 say they've been t0 Barrow. uorthernmost outpost in the |. $. domain.
 Judging from the reports of the hearings in ketchikan and Juneau the little men" at those points seemed to be generally for state hood. even those who questioned the cost. Looks like everybody is tor statehood except the Senators which doesn't bode very well for the flu. ture of statehood in the immediate Republican future. The President skipped it in one of his early mes sages to the nation and the recent governors conference avoided il like polio.
 Of course, Senator Butler was quoted in Seattle while en route north that. he had an open mind. ! which strikes Us as being downright comforting.
 Not that it'll do any good but ii might as well be mentioned here as any where that if Alaskans were given an enabling act to set up their own kind of statehood, it's very possible they wouldn't go for the 50 million dollar a year stuff the boys keep buffeting about. but something more modest; a Ford, for instance, instead of a Cadillac. Al ter all the functions of state gov ernment would be concerned with the l38,000 people, or thereaboutsr residing in the Territory, and it's a bit difficult to visualize that many people wanting 50 million dollars worth of government when they are paying for it.

FAIRBANKS lAP)-six r. S.. Senators listened while a Fairbanks businessman outlined the many pro blems he says face anyone operating a concern in a territory of the Uni. ted States Stanley B. Tat0m. heavy equipment dealer, appeared al the meeting here of the Senate Commit tee of Interior and Insular Affairs which is Investigating Che problem of granting statehood 10 Alaska.
 Tatom cited the numerous ex. amples Of what he called diserimiu. atiou against Alaska businessmen. He said materials shipped to Alaska must be paid for before they leave the states and Alaskaus are not al. lowed 10 take advantage of various financing programs given stateside dealers by manufacturers.
 When asked by Senator Butler, Nebraska Republican who opposes statehood. if he believed Alaska could afford statehood now, Tatom replied:
 Senator, I can't afford to oper late under a territorial status much longer"
 Five witnesses were heard in the morning sessions and only one, Mike .Erceg. Fairbanks farmer, spoke against statehood.
 Ereeg argued Alaska cannot af- ford statehood because of the lack of industry the high cost of living and migratory population
 Referring to waterfront strikes which periodically paralyze shipping to Alaska. Tatom told the Senators no state would permit it's shipping to be tied up five months and 27 days during one year.

 Reports from the field are to the effect that deer are comparatively plentiful this year. Last winters mild weather is said to have been helpful.
