CONTINUED from Page u
views, and we will set up a
priority list of Rockville's most.
needed projects.
1--WE hope to hold the 90-cent
tax rate by cutting non-essential
spending, and meeting our bills
out of current revenues.
Know How
This is no time to experiment
with governing Rockville. The
four members of my slate and l
are business people, with know
how in managing money.
"We plan to have a series of
meetings on home rule, so we
will be ready to meet this change
If the voters approve it at the
polls in November.
Home rule would give the city
much more power in running its
own affairs, and thus give the
city administrators a chance to
do an even better job.
"The days ahead call for level
headedness, economy and prog
ress, all blended together to do
the best possible job for Rock
vile.
Recreation Program
"Our recreation program must
be extended particularly in the
Lincoln Park area, so that all our
children will have an equal
chance for happiness.
II have been advised by ex.
perts that the sewer and water
problems will soon be ended. The
Cabin John sewer branch will
take care of an additional 10000
population, and the water hook
up with the W.S.S.C. will be
finished this summer"
Mr.. Hit said these are some
of the specifics which each voter
must examine before he votes on
Monday.
"The future of our people, and
of those people who will come
here in the future, is at stake in
thise lection.

sensible, progressive administra-

w. N. Bradshaw: "My six
years on the council should help
assure voters that our team has
experience and will carry on a
progressive administration"
Mr.. Hit reiterated his call for
a calm appraisal of the issues
and wound up his campaign:
I'VE believe we offer the peo-
pie of Rockville their best OPP
portunity for a sound admins
tration which willn OF be one
man deal.
Teamwork with all the peo-
pie, will be the mark of our adj
ministration."

House Group Okays Cuts
In Personal Income Taxes
On Income from Dividends

WASHINGTON, R-The House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday approved sharp cuts in
personal income taxes on income
from dividends. Experts said the
revenue loss would be 24O million
dollars the first year and up to
one billion when the program
takes full effect.
The proposed changed would
apply to some four million per-
sons who receive income from
dividends. About one-third of
these would be relieved of any
taxes at all on their dividend
income
This was the second major step
announced in a complete overhaul
of tax laws launched by the COM
mittee on Wednesday. The first
agreement would provide so mil
lion dollars in tax savings for
about 100000 single heads of
households.
Democrats were reported to
have raised some opposition yes
terday to the program Of relief
for dividend recipients.

Kuenoluck --- The Venturesome Fool

There, with hunting knife point
ed at my collarbone was my very
good friend, who is also the ex-
cellent chief of the village. At my
left was his brother, holding in
one hand a rope with a moose. In
his other hand was a knife that
was pointed at my collarbone also.
81 looked from man to man. In
their eyes | saw hatred Not just
a personal hatred but an ancient
one that shone through what were
once the kindest faces. For many
generations among our forefath-
ers this hatred had caused blood
she'd On many battlefields my
Kobuk ancestors had won against
the braves Of Point Hope. This I
could see now was not in my
favor.
"'You go in and get the bears
out for US, my favorite chief COM
manded. l have heard stories
about the polar bear receiving
human visitors. They were never
known to attack inside a cave. I
had no choice. So l crawled into
the cave, armed with rope that
had a moose. Warm animal smell
assailed my nostrils and the white
shaggy forms stirred as I entered.
I gritted my teeth to keep them
from chattering as 1 quaked."
Kuenoluck would wipe perspir
alton from his brow as he elo-
quently unfolded the tale.
II edged over to the magnifi-
cent mother. She shifted at me
and opened her jaws in yawn.
Hot breath made my face feel
sticky. AS she closed her mouth
I slipped the moose around her
neck and threw the other end
out to the chief and his brother.
The rope went taught and tight
ened around her throat and I
made no move to encourage her
out. There was a deafening- roar
and then l heard the clash of two
spears as they met inside the
body of the brave animal. | was
a bit ashamed while l slipped
the moose around the neck Of the
second one, but it was him or me.
I was received as a visitor and
here l was sending my hosts out
to be killed. If | had left the cave
they would have followed me out,
and that would have been suicide
on my part. The spears that were
meant for the bear would have
met in my body. The animals did

Il was venturesome fool
Kuenoluck always gave an opin-
ion of himself before he told of
his adventures.
He was a why little Kobuk
man. In his youth there was no
thing he feared. He had a passion
for witnessing the tribal activities
of far-away villages, never be-
lieving what he had heard until
he had seen for himself. "Skepti-
cism, one can pay with a supreme
price," his father would try to
advise him.
He was mischievous and had
more than his share Of will power.
He had a sly answer for every
well-meant advice that came his
way. Now he was an old man and
was a burden to whoever would
take him into his household.
Kuenoluck had two souvenirs.
One was a polar bear skin, now
old and caked with tangled fur.
The other was a pirates knife
AS he told stories of his exper-
fences children eagerly clamored
for more They would group
around him and listen. How he
became an owner Of this once
beautiful bearskin rug was his
favorite story.
Il had become acquainted with
the Point Hope Chief that came
to Kotzebue to trade. When he
and his people were leaving for
their village he asked me if !
would like to spend d winter with
them. I eagerly consented.
All went well until the day
this chief, his brother and l were
tracking down three polar bears,

day was white. The far-away sun
was behind the clouds and one
could not determine the distances
and outlines of objects. In places
the snow was hard and the winds
swept them clean Of fresh snow
After what seemed a long time we
finally reached the cave of our
quarries.
"a large snowbank was their
snow hut. We were sure that all
three bears were in there. We
stood at the entrance, which was
not too large, considering the &C
tual size the polar bear can grow
into. I was down on my hands
and knees to examine the fresh
tracks when l felt hand on my
back.
Il quickly looked to my right

the reception my human hosts
gave them.
II stood inside the icy cave
waiting to see what they meant
to do with me, not liking the
power they had over me at this
crucial moment.
'Kuenoluck, no hard feelings?'
the chief yelled to me.
"'No,' 1 yelled back, surprised
at the friendliness in his voice.
"'Then come out and see what
we have out here
81 was impressed by the sight
of the three dead polar bears. AS
each animal had emerged from
the cave the hunters had plunged
their spears into its shoulders,
making them meet in the area
where the heart is located In
slant death came to each animal.
I was thankful of this.
During the following days we
never spoke of this incident
among ourselves or to anyone, but
many times my chief would say
to me, You are brave little man
This comment I know I had
earned we'll"
Kuenoluck would pat the shaggy
skin and say, "This is the skin of
the mother bear, which with much
ceremony the chief presented me
with"
"This pirates knife l earned
through sarcasm, but to this day
feel no remorse on how I became
its owner. My chief had it coming
! to him. l felt that he tested my
self control just a little too often.
1T was spring and there was
a celebration in honor of the brave
hunters. There was gaiety and ex-
citement in frenzied anticipation
among the people. There were to
be prizes given to winners in the
games. Among many prizes was
this pirate knife. know that this
was most coveted. A hunter would
never fear a foe with this weapon
in hand.
Il was sitting by the chief that
was to give out the prizes to
whoever won them. My host lifted
the knife for me to inspect and
said, Wouldn't it be dandy thing
to have it when facing an en-
ragged brown bear?' | was horri-
fled. [ was entering some prize
winning games in order to try to
win this magnificent weapon. We
Kobuk people have a taboo about
our brown bears and he knew it.

set it down, there was a satisfied
grin on his face. He wanted this
knife to be won by one of his
braves. To his surprise I picked
it up and said, Yes, wouldn't it
be just fun to tickle the whiskers
of a Walrus with it?'
ct was bold thing for me
to say. He was very angry at me,
but he said nothing. They have
strong taboo about their walruses.
Their belief on walruses is the
same as ours about brown bears.
So the pirate knife was cursed
forever. It was going to be dis
posed of, and l asked for it. He
gladly let me have it."
