Two Comic Strip Characters
Are Used Qs Reading Aids
BY CHRISTIE RINEHART

With a comic strip and some
old-fashioned ideas on the
three Rs, DR.. and Mrs. Edward
Monaghan Of Alexandria have
set out to fight reading de-
f1ciencies in both children and
adults.

have trouble learning to read
II they are taught the alpha
bet and some basic sounds"
Mrs. Monaghan says. 1.-THE
trouble is they aren't taught
any more"
The Monaghans teach pho
/. netics with the help of two
comic-strip characters from
Inner Space" which they
originated. Steyie and Susie
get into one situation after an
other to demonstrate basic
speech sounds.
For example, II Stevie hits
his thumb with q hammer, he
says, "Ow," naturally enough
When the student recognizes
the low" sound. he is ready to
learn words with this sound in
them, like ''how," Cow"
brown" town."
The idea of Susie and Ste
vie first came to Mrs. Mona
CHAN, a specialist in remedial
reading and foreign languages,
when she taught reading TO
soldiers at Fort Myer several
years ago.
There was one boy there
who couldn't read at ALL" Mrs.
Monaghan recalls. "Since the
boys we're only there for a
short time. I decided I would
have to show them how 10 read
by some really quick method"
With Stevie and Susie, Mrs.
Monaghan gets the children to
read because reading Is fun

The here this week that a group of local residents had gotten together and wire to the Secretary of Interior offering buy lease The Alaska Railroad greeted with mixed feelings by local groups Some inclined pooh pooh the idea while others eager to join the movement and that goes through the government is willing to get out of business,
 At the first look might little prepoerous that any group of individuals would make such proposal how when you dee further the proposition loses its pipe dream qualities and becomes sound business proposal which is not necessarily out of the question:
 While the original proposal has been put forward by Sewardies it is not without possibility that other persons in rabel communities will be interested in helping finance the deal private hands the Railroad would be taxpayer which would pay its both to the Territory and federal government In the hands of Alaskans would also become interested seeing quick development of the of the rabet which would tend expand further and make it more of a paying proposition.
 During the past year have heard from the present Man. ager that the road made profit $50OOO It not able to that under private ownership profit could still be made and the company operating would be free to pursue projects which believed would bring in better profits and more economies
 The sale of the railroad a local group would eliminate forever the recurring threat of dscontnung the Seward end of the railroad.

POETS CORNER
By Ernest Chaney

By Ernest chaney Some wise philosophers there are, Who'd rather hand us jolt and jar Than cheer us up when we are blue, And have the heeby-jeebies too. They say that soon we'll be at war, And won't know what we're fight
 ing for. They say hard times are on the
 way. We'll get two bits a ton for hay And work for fifteen cents a day. The dumbhead guys who run things
 now, Need guys like us to show them
 how. If we'd let him be President, And let him run the government, Each man would have a Cadillac, Each girl a mink coat on her back. There'd be two chickens in each
 pot. A house on every vacant lot. And there would be no income tax. We'd never have to bend our
 backs. These guys who like to hang the
 crepe, Say things are in an awful shape. An epidemic's on the way, And folks are dying every day. The death rates hourly growing
 worse, And he is wise who hires a hearse. The sunshine that we have today Will disappear and go away. While blizzards sweep across the
 land
 And cold winds blow to beat the
 band
 We have our sunshine for today, Let us enjoy it while we may. We have our sunshine now you see And that's enough for you and me, Or should be. as you will agree. He is cheap and sordid man Who won't enjoy it while he can. Philosophers who are not gay, Should take their traps and fade
 away. Unless they bring us cheer and
 joy, They only bore us and annoy. Let us be chipper, gay and blythe, Til comes the reaper with his
 scythe.

BY MARY LEE COUNCIL Secretary from Alaska

fl bills were introduced by Del egate Bartlett as the S4th Congress convened last week.
 In June of last year Federal Judge Folta stated that set nets are fixed appliances, and the regu- lating agency of Interior Depart ment interpreted this as requiring minimum distance of 1900 feet between set nets. Delegate Bart let's bills would except set nets, stake nets and anchored gill nets from the 1900 foot minimum re- Quirement and permit the Fish and Wildlife Service to fix minimum distances in accordance with pre- vious years regulations.
 Delegate Bartlett's Alaska state hooC bill would grant, with mineral rights, 103,050,000 acres of land to the new state. plus other land and building grants in the city of Juneau now used for the Cover nor's residence, the federal build ing and the federal jail. Of this total, 100 million acres would be selected over a 25-year per O d from public domain, 100000 acres from Alaska's national forests for community development Il d re- creational areas, 100000 acres from the public domain for the same purpose, and 2,25O,OO0 for state institutions. The legislation would bring Alaska under the federal aid highway acts and would authorize road construction funds to the new state of S17 million for the first fiscal year after statehood, SIS mil lion for the second, $9 million for the third, s million for the fourth, $3 million for the fifth and $1 mil lion for the sixth. Additional auth orization is included for mainten- ance funds for roaCs of S3 million for each of the first five fiscal years after statehood, $2 million for each of the second five fiscal years and $1 million for each of the third five fiscal years. Control of Alaska's fisheries would be transferred to the state except the fur-seal and sea-otter fisheries with 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of seal skins and sea otters to go to the state. The state would assume the care and treatment of the mentally ill ex- cept that the federal government would continue this responsibility for those receiving care and treat ment at the time Alaska is admit ted into the Union.
 At the present time no proceeds from royalties and rent from coal lands in Alaska are returned in any form to the Territory. The major portion of proceeds from oil
