Atleu ..ca of the Editor:
 Dear Sir:
 1 read Mir. Evan Hills artl-
 cle about Kodiak with amuse- } ment and annoyance. The
 amusement that visitor could
 pass so quickly through our town and feel so qualified to judge it. As Isee 1t, it would be equivalent to a visitor to Boston coming in at Logan Airport, taking the East Bos- ton Tunnel, getting off at Scollay Square. walking a book or two in either direc- ton and sitting down in a bar to write a thesis on the city. I am not acquainted with his bartender although 1 think that 1 caaclaim most of the bartenders the city as ac- quaintances. and many as friends ssnd4 they are well edaeateasmen who can con- verse en any subject. Most of them are3the owners OF nan agerssof their bars or cluhs. But we do have 8 couple of bars that might be classed in Boston as saloons" and may be Mr. Hill was not very selec- tive or perhaps he was looking for color. in that case, Mir. Bowman, the proprietor of Tony's Place provides it, he is after all a snowman and a business. The bartender being a cheechako after twelve years lin the territory is not unusual as most Alaskans fall into that category. 1 have been in A. laska since 1945 and am still a lcheechako and will undoubted- lily remain one. Perhaps Le did not acquaint himself with the understood requirements of becoming a 'sourdough"
 I As a matter of record most of his facts" are a little off. It is the Giant Naval Base, and Pm sure the Navy would be pleased to know that it was so described, that nestles in the shadow of Old Woman Mountain while the town, a distance of about seven miles or so, smuggles against Pillar 1 Mountain. But as the article says, it was raining and our town doesn't look it's. best blanketed with clouds that ob- scure our utterly beautiful |scenery, he may have become confused about our many mountains.
 No, we don't have gardens growing on Alaska Way, our main street, but then there are none on Washington Street in Boston. but there are rany residences that boast of really lovely flower gardens and some vegetable. The town was and is primarily a fishing village and far too crowded for profit able vegetable gardens, and our short growing season toe

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1. -
Pulitzer Prize winning biogra-
pher DR.. Douglas Southall Free
man said shortly before his
death that George Washington
''was greater than any of US be-
lieved he was"
Death prevented DR.. Freeman
from making an official final
summation of Washington s
character. But in the sixth vol
ume of his projected seven
volume biography Of the first
President - released today by
Charles Scribner's Sons - a
letter to his publishers quoted
in a predatory note leaves no
doubt about his views.
His historical associate, Mary
Wells Ashworth, reports In the
note what might have been ex-
pressed in far greater detail il
DR.. Freeman had been permitted
to finish his great biographical
work.
He wrote Scribners: "The more

I study George Washington. the
more ] am convinced that the
great reputation he enjoyed with
his contemporaries and with men
Of the next generation was en-
tirely justified. He was greater
than any Of Us believed he was" /"
The sixth volume which this
tribute introduces takes Wash
ington from the end Of the Revo-
luton and the termination of
his military career to the end
Of his first term as President.
The final paragraphs were writ
ten by DIR. Freeman only q few
hours before his death on June
13, 1853.
Had DR.. Freeman lived, he
would have carried Washington
to his 62d birthday and the
end OF the first year Of his
second term. And 1t would not
have appeared until volume
seven Of the biography also was
completed.
No arrangement has been
made for any one else to finish
the authors work.

Public Is Warned Against
New Chain Letter Cimnlick

Inc post office here today said
Postmaster General Arthur e.
Summerfield had warned against
participation in the latest variation
Of the chain letter scheme.
II is violation Of both postal
lottery laws and fraud laws, Sum-
merfield said.
The scheme, which promises a
sure-fire profit of $1O,24O in a few
days for a $40 investment, was la
beled illegal by Summerfield, who
added:
violsfion Told
"The public may believe that this
latest chain scheme does not in
volve any violation Of postal laws
because the letters or charts are
sold person to person and do not
20 through the mail" Summerfield
said. 1.-THE money does go through
the mail, however, and the scheme,
therefore, violates postal laws"
Under the plan, the letters or
"Charts" are sold person to per-
son for S. each and the buyer is
required to mail another S. to the
name on the top of an eleven name
list. The top name is then remov-
ed from the list and the new par
ticipant's name is placed at the
bottom of the list.
The new participant then makes
two copies of the letter and sells
it to two other people.
False Hopes
"The representations set forth in
the letters or charts induce peo-
pie to participate in the false hope
or mere chance of obtaining a
large sum for the $40 invested. The
amount they win, if anything, is
dependent upon chance and cons
titutes the scheme a lottery. The
promises of huge gain are fraudu-
lent. These representations where.
by people are induced and requir-
ed to send $500 remittances by
mail constitute violations of both
the postal lottery and fraud laws, I"
Summerfield explained.
"These endless chain schemes
victimize large numbers of persons
and also subject them to legal san.
ctions and penalties which may
range from stopping mail deliver
les to fines and Imprisonment" he
said.
The Key West citizen., 1954-11-25

ssvigorous efforts are being made
to protect the public from endless
chain schemes, but cooperation Dy
the public is essential :
TypiesI Chart
The following is typical endless
chain chart" the names OF the
participants being omitted.
This is A Sell Your Way
Wealth Campaign
A. You pay the person selling this
list $500. In their presence you al
so mail $500 to the first name on
the list below. Your total cost is
$1,000 Seller will supply envelope
and stamp.
B. Next, you make two copies Of
this paper, eliminating the top
name and adding yours to the bot
tom. Thus the name which is pre-.
sently number 2 becomes number
l, and your name becomes number
IL.
C. Sell your two copies to two
friends, keeping the $500 from
each buyer and you have your
monev back.
d. Then see to it that they place
$500 in the envelope addressed to
the top name on the list just as
you did. You supply the envelope
and stamps just to make sure and
to make it easy for them to keep
the campaign hot. These measur-
es are very important and they
make certain the camapign viii moi

Will Confer
With Council
BY BILL GIBB

Tuesday evening, Decem-
Der z, the Monroe County
Juvenile Council will hold a
special meeting in conjunc-
ton with a group of high
school students.
An attempt viii be made to dis
cover what the youth Of Key West
consider necessary to curb juvenile
delinquency. The program should
be extremely interesting and will
undoubtedly attract many visitors.
Comic Book Check
During the past several weeks,
a committee headed by the Rv.
Ralph Rogers has been investigat.
ing the local comic book situation.
This work was the result of a talk
delivered to the council by Joan
Knowles, KWHS senior.
Miss Knowles informed members
Of the Juvenile Council that teen
ayers from all over the United Sta.
tes, meeting in forum at North.
western University last summer,
unanimously agreed concerning the
detrimental qualities Of certain
type comic books. She pointed Out
that parents themselves were often
responsible for introducing such
harmful literature in the home.
Panel Discussion
The high school panel which will
discuss juvenile problems with the
Council is probably the first such
step Of its kind in Monroe County
Perhaps it will pave the way fol
real understanding of the pro
blems of our young people.
Changing times and advancinf
years have caused too many adult,
