MEDICINE
The reason they call 'em
wonder drugs" is because
everyone wonders why they
cost so much.
TAxES
We. take great relisb in the
fact that those fellows who
work for the Internal Revenue
have to pay taxes too.
HuMNN!
Religion is the only thing in
the world that you can get
more out of than you put in.
DELINQUENCY
One of our pet peeves is the
tendency on the part of some
judges to give delinquents a
choice of going in the Army or
going to reform school. How
can we have a good military
If it is filled with men who

The happiest mothers we

VOTING
Make sure that you vote for
a competent candidate. A vote
for an undesirable is fully as
bad as not voting at all.

It was just 81 years ago

A tube of toothpaste can be

the playboy squeezes it in the

IDEA
Have you noticed that the
highwa department has
black-topped all the bridges
hereabouts? There's a good
reason for this. In the first
place, the black surface alb
serbs the suns rays and sleet

Secondly, the material used is
of a special "non-skid" var

dents on frozen bridges.

Inez Robb, United Syndi-

with a move i'm the right direc-
ton. She had the temerity to
paint her rural mailbox a bea-
utiful shade of yellow and ran
into us. Mail regulations
which stated that they must
be either white or aluminium
color. Now, after carrying the
fight right to Postmaster Gen.
eral Summerfield, the regula-
tions have been changed so
that you or anyone can paint
your mailbox any color you
like. Might be a good idea If

side, after six months notice.

chise to the Ohio Edison Company.

 The Elk Grove, California CITI- ZEN has this to say: "In many climes and times. men have fought and have died for the basic right of self-government-the right to vote. Especially ericans." Though we haven't. dieIl here in Alaska for the same cause, we have fought and are still fighting for it.
 
 Here's another comment that might be applicable to Alaskan voters-only more so. Tempe, Ariz. Daily News states: "All media of communication have been very much occupied with talk about voter apathy. If it does exist. it js highly understandable. for tho whole trend of politics now tends to make more and more people feel that they have no stake in the government.
 
 The trend toward less time and less production on the job with no reduction in pay continues {. many people dc not know what to do with the- -fetsse sins they now have. let alone with more free hours. Off the job. they seem lost; they fritter away their time. They need what might be called idlenesS training, a development of inrer resources that will make leisure time fruitful. They :. wifi pose growing challenge to society as working hours decrease.
