A Letter To The Editor

We are happy to include in the columns of our paper, the views of citizens on any subject they may choose to unburden themselves. Further, we think healthy discus sion, whether in the columns of a newspaper, or among people, is good for all concerned. Something worth talking about. or writing about, must have some merit, and quite often does.
 When writing. as in newspaper work, you soon realize the written word is your medium through which you convey certain messages and thoughts. The thought simply can't be expressed without the word. The mose right the word is, and the more aptly phrased the thought is, the better it is going to get over to the reader.
 Recently, we had letter to the Letter to the Editor" column which we did not print. It was pub lished in another local paper. Our reason for not publishing it, was not for the thoughts express cd, but the blanket statements cpntained therein. and more par ticulariy the phraseology A quo thtion from a magazine was taken out of the context The quotation aave definition of politician, as "A heel on a soap box making a fbol of himself" The implication was that our present Councilmen, Reing politicians, are heels. Coun- dil members must have resented s,e implication. A Councilman cannot in any sense of the term be considered a politician In the first place the monetary gain from the job, which is negligible, is not suf- ficient to attract a politician, who is strictly out for gain. The job of fers little else than chance to improve the City, or carry out ones own ideas about civic govern hnent
 
 We have no quarrel with the body of the letter, which gives de tails on an omission on the pub Hcation of the Sales Tax elections The letter stated: If you will look at the first two of the City of Ko, diak's legal publications announc, ing the Sales Tax Election in the Kodiak Mirror you will find ii states twice in each of those issues that to vote on the Sales Tax one had to be on the assessment tax rolls. This being untrue, was cor rected in the last two publications

HOW ABOUT A ROAD SYSTEM
SOMEHOW WE cannot help wi,

SOMEHOW WE cannot help wishing that the Virgin
Islands had been included in the great highway program
soon to become a reality on the continent. It would not take
much t.. envision a network of roads which could make ST.
Croix much. much more attractive to tourists and useful to
its citizens in every walk Of life. But that is entirely within.
the realm Of speculation, and realities must be faced.
THAT THERE IS dire need no one can deny. Our
roads are anything but efficient, and they are certainly tar
below the minimum Of what automobile traffic demands. They
need to be widened, graded, and in some instances even bank
ed. They need to be extended and improved to the point
where headbanks will cease to present a constant hazard
THE STUDY and survey to be made Of the Centerine
highway is but a beginning. But what about the restF With
more land being opened up and travel increasing as the days
90 by, roads leading into the main highway should be i'm
proved also
THERE OUGHT to be three roads between the towns,
not only for beauty and pleasure but convenience and etfi-
cheney Of getting about in all quarters with a minimum OF
problems. Heading west, the southside road should begin at
the old Peters Rest factory, then down by jerusalem, Hope
and Blessing, Spanish Town, Anguilla, by the Alexander Ham
iton Airport, Bettys Hope, then to Big Diamond and north
to the centerLne again, then west.
THE NORTHSIDE OAD should head directly from
Christiansted by the Processes, St. John, Morning Star, to-
Glynn, and west along Colquohoun and down to Grove Place,
then south to the Centerline road. This northern route could
afford excellent travel permitting a detom back of Grove
Place, Montpelier, Orange Grove and into Frederiksted
WHILE SOME Of these roads are used, many are in
such disrepair as to discourage their frequent use. Such, for
example is the network which could lead from La Vallee.
around River and Fountain to the northern road Of which
, 1956-05-24
mention was made.

THAT ANY OF this will come true in the foreseeable
future is a matter Of conjecture. However, it is often good
to think aloud about some Of the things that can and should
come to pass. With such a road system fully developed St.
Croix would be even more picturesque, to say nothing Of more
convenient for travel.

DELAY IN THIRD
POLIO VACCINATION

Because of the present shortage
of Salk vaccine, the Alaska Polio
Advisory Board recommended at
its recent meeting that third vac
cinations, or booster shots
should be delayed. DR.. Charles R.
Haynan, acting commissioner of
health, reported the polio board
decision upon his return to Jun
eau last week after attending a
meeting of the advisory group in
Anchorage.
The board feels it is more i'm
portant to use the available vac
cine for first and second VAGINA
tons to eligible children who
have not yet received this protec-
ton DR. Hayman said.
Members of the Polio Advisory
Board are: DR.. Milo Fritz, DIR.
Robert Wilkins and Francis Bow
den, pharmacist, of Anchorage;
Mrs. Kenneth Parker of Spenard
and Mrs. Jack Hutchinson OF
Juneau, Parent Teacher associa-
ton representatives; and Monte

you select is good. Be sure there
is a market for your product
and get acquainted with your
banker, get him on your side by
telling him the truth about your
finances"
James w. Wilson, commission
er of agriculture told the farmers
that the potential market for
agriculture products has not been
reached. He pointed out the in
creases over the past five years
and indicated the future growth
that is possible.
The farmer is IN the minor
ity," said DR.. George Scarseth,
director of research of the Ameri-

He urged the farmers to talk
problems through: talk to your

federate at National level.

its have changed from meat,

The Second Farm Forum which
was held in Palmer on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday past, was
declared the most successful in
every way. Newest trends in
agriculture, dairy management,
gardens ad green houses, were
but a few of the subjects dealt
with extensively by specialists
and scientists who appeared on
the programs as speakers and
who participated in the many
panel discussions.
The three-day Forum was
opened Friday afternoon with
words of greeting from Mayor
Charles w. Wilson who pointed
out that Palmer and the Valley
hive by and through eooperatives.
I've have a farmers coop, an
electric coop. telephone coop, a
school district and the city. All
of these handle their day to day
activities through a board of di-
reetors under one name or an
other" he said.
He pointed out that although
the Boards handle the business,
the real leaders are the members
of the organizations and all have
a responsibility. He added that
living in an organized and free
society requires some public SER
vice from all.
James Hurley, AFRO director.
told the audience of farmers
problems in obtaining loans. He
pointed out that statistics show
that the established farmer is the
best risk; the part-time farmer
the next best; and the homestead
er, or beginner. the poorest. In
summing up his talk he advised

Some of the acts being plan

tirely new-never presented be-

their presentation will not in

KELLOGG BID
APPROVED BY
REA OFFICIALS

Robert Partridge, MIA manag-
er, said this week the Matanus-
ka Telephone Association has re-
ceived word from the Washing
ton office of REA that the Kel-
logg Switchboard and Supply
Co. bid to furnish telephone equ-
ipment for the new system has
been approved. Contracts are now
IN the hands of the Washington
office and Kellogg officials equ-
ipment will soon be on the way
TO Palmer.
Partridge added that the As
ISOLATION also received authorize
ton to purchase an additional
600 telephone instruments. This
will bring the total to 900 in
struments; 300 of which are now
IN shipment. These instruments
will be installed in homes of
members who are now receiving
service and who have completed
equity payments. Those men,
bers who have paid up their
equity, but who are not now re-
eeiving service, will not get
phones until the outside plant
and telephone lines are installed
SO that service may be extended
to them.
The site of the Chugiak I'M
attended dial station was purch-
ased this week from the Bureau
of Land Management for $1,000,
Partridge said The site involves
about one acre and includes a
high hill that in time will no
doubt be the site of a tower, he
added. The ioint-use pole agree
ment with the Matanuska E1ec-
trio Association and the pole
agreement with the Alaska Rail
road that leads from Palmer to
Sutton, will be executed at the
Board of Directors meeting this
week, he added.
