THROUGH THE SENTINEL TELESCOPE
Legislative Lineup

Now that they have counted the absentee ballots, canyassed the election returns and are getting ready to send out the certificates of election, it might be well to re- cord here for posterity who will make up the next Legislature which convenes in January.
 It may be assumed that the kival- ina vote is in, too. Some years ago on general election day a walrus showed up out from the Arctic village of Kivalina just after they had opened the polls to do some voting. They closed up immediately and took off after the walrus. Sev- eral days later when the beast had been neatly slowed for winter use, they opened the polls and continu- ed with the election. Unfortunately, the Kivalina vote didn't count that year, so we trust that no walrus hove into sight on election day this year and the village vote is in the final tally.
 At any rate, here's the lawmaker 1ioauD for 1Q57.
