 No burial grounds? Winter dead were weighed and placed on the ice foe to be moved out to sea by the wind. Summer dead were counter-weighed then set adrift with inflated animal in- testines. The sea, finally, claimed all. Their method was, more san itary than ours besides they dig holes in the perma-frost.

 Cordova Hi kept their winning streak in the second game-fif- teen points 45 to 30 Frank Dew lin kept the Wasilla squad in the game by sinking six of the eleven free throws given him.

THE CHAFF FROM THE WHEAT
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER IS not only allow


preston to be freely circulated that he would, if at all posi-
bic, control the legislature, but he does not seem to be doing
anything to dispel or correct this idea. First he expressed the
desire for a helpful legislature. In and of itself, that is lofty
enough idea, but this was followed by rumors that he was
interested in Manipulating legislative officers.
rumors, we do not know. but experience should tell the Cover
nor and his staff that it is often very wise to combat and put
at rest certain ideas, rather than allowing them to become
fixed IN the thinking. of whole segments of the population
And certainly, the Governor would not want it said that he
intendsit to have a-rubber, stamp legislature.
NOR Than ONCE before we ventured editorialy to-
throw out an idea here and there. These have merit, and
they should not be dismissed s~ummarly. They should at least
be given a second thought. The Governor, confident that as
the Presidents representative his hand is free, may regard
any idea relating to diplomatic approach as not only unneces-
sary, but foolish, and a waste Of time. But it may not be
quite that simple.
THERE ARE rumors that should be ignored completely
because any attempt to set the record straight may serve only
to befuddle the whole situation. On the other hand, there
are matters, which by their very nature, and for the smooth,
harmonious and effective operation of government, should be
put in their proper perspective.
ONE OF the ingredients of good leadership, it seems
to us, is the ability to know what and how to correct and set
straight.
