to Gerald d. Morgan. special

In the appeal, Mr.. Hynning
asserted that had the Army's
new standards of fair play been
applied in Mr.. Fosters case. it
would obviously have resulted
in the dismissal of the charges"
against him.
Brucker Decision Cited
THE press has widely heralded
ARMY Secretary Brucker's de-
cision to substitute personal guilt
for guilt by association in the
handling Of security cases OF
military personnel" the letter
said.
1T is but a short and just step
for the Department of the Army
to apply that decision TO the
handling Of the security cases
Of the Departments civilian per-
sonnet l fervently trust that
all will agree that no security
case is ever closed so long as an
Injustice has been suffered"
To his letter to Mr.. Morgan,
Mr.. Hynning attached a copy
Of another to Mr.. Brucker. in

THEY WEPT FOR A SECOND
AND LAUGHED FOREVER
By CARLTON MORRIS
Editor Gates County Index

was the child we just buried? He
turned away and refused to stop
his play to answer.
The same fleecy white clouds
floated overhead and the thunder
head had grown almost to storm
proportions as turned away from
the new turned earth and now /
wanted to scream and shout at all
the heartless people with whom l
had just been weeping for they
were going their various ways
with never a backward glance.
Now their laughter had replaced
their weeping and it filled the air
and roared and shouted like the
voice of hurricane.
l asked no more questions as l
also turned to go about my work,
for in one of those rare moments
that come to us all, l knew that
the stranger was only the people
who were killed by accident on a
4th of July holiday and thus the
world could only pause for Sec
ond and must ever march on and
on roaring with laughter and filled
with forgetfulness.

Along Tie Waterfront

The calm waters to be seen ad jacent to Kodiak this past week are indicative of the fishing iD- dustry as whole in these parts. Reports of fishing in all the areas in and around Kodiak, all run about the same-no fish.
 The local canneries have had a few spasmodic spurts of activity. King Crab Cannery had two half days of canning. Its mighty quiet at Island Seafoods. The Eskimo, as reported elsewhere, was bring ing in 5000 for canning when she ran aground.
 Halferty's canned one or two. days, but Frank McConaghy states that the poor showing of fish. is about the worst he has seen here. They are busy down at the Can-' nery installing a fish nue, which will take the fish from the buckets, and transfer them to the canning line. Enough water is brought up in the buckets as the fish are haul- ed from the boat, to keep the sal- raon flowing down the flue, which is built on an incline. Looks like clever idea. Frank reports his wife is duesfn today.
 Very few boats dot the water front. Standard Oil dock is very quiet, as most of the fishing boats are lying at anchor near the fish ing. grounds. Jack Hfnckel at the Union Oil Dock reports the same not much activity.
 OveE<at Alvine aud GibsOns, Stan Alvine has gone to the States due to an emergency, and Mrs. Al vine is over at Woody Island as sisting in preparations for the camp to be held there. There's not much activity at the boatworkS, as all work on boats is complete. E.

Fire Destroys Project Home

Fire occurred at the home of MT. and Mrs. Buster Richardson, Monday about 12 noon. The house, which was almost completely de stroyed before it was brought un- der control, is in the Aleutian Homes area.
 The fire, believed to have been caused by defect in, the, heating system, occurred shortly before noon. One truck responded. After battling the blaze for fifteen min utes, the .City's second fire truck was brought to the scene. The ; heat from the fire was extremely intense, and there was constant danger of spreading to adjacent houses. The two on either side were dampened with water, and were only partially scorched.
 The RichardsonS lost all their furniture and personal belongings. Their son Wallace, II, was the only one home at the. time, HeI was in the kitchen preparing lunch, when a neighbor noticed smoke coming out of the register. On opening the closet in which is housed the heating unit, smoke and flames shot out.
 Little Wallace attempted to carry out his mothers new port able sewing machine, but found it too heavy. Mrs. Richardson had just purchased it. It was never used. No insurance was carried on any personal effects.
 The Richardson's cat ran under a bed as the fire started and was burned to death. Erwin, IS, an older son, was at the Scout Camp on the Naval Station, at the time of the fire. Mrs. Richardson is em- ployed at the DoghOuse, and was at work, as was Mr. Richardson. He is employed on the Naval Sta tion, and also drives a cab in town.
 This is the first fire of any con sequence that has occurred in the Aleutian Homes area, according to officials of the project. The Voluntary Fire Department, under Chief George Magnusen. brought the fire under control in twenty minutes. Location of the house was at 1190 Circle Drive.

Polio Shots
 Given Today

Polio vaccine will be administer ed today and next Saturday, Aug ust 4 and II, at the Health Center to all children who received their first shots at the clinic held in June and July. The clinic will be held from 10 a. m. to II a. m. on both days.
 Following these two clinics third clinic will be held on Satur- day, August I8 from 10 to Il am. for all children, ages to IA who have not had two shots of the vac cine. Polio vaccine for the 10 to IA age group was recently, released by the Alaska Department of Health. Parents of children eligi- ble for polio vaccinations can ob- tain them either from their pliy- sician or at the Health Center clinics held monthly. Local phy, sicians have donated their ser vices for these clinics.
 The Alaska Polio Advisory Board recommends that no third shot or. booster" be given until first and second shots have been given to all children through f9. The vac- cine should be used as rapidly as available until every child has this protection from polio. Best results come. from, vaccinating before out breaks occur, Parents are urged not to delay obtaining the vaccina- tionS for; their children.
 There is every assurance that the vaccine is entirely safe. Since revised Federal safety standards were adopted in the spring of 1855, some 10,00O,000 children in 1855 alone have received the vac cine with a perfect safety record. Statistics show that paralytic polio was cut by at least 76To in vac cinated children, as compared with those receiving no vaccine. The vaccine gives protection by caus- ing a child to develop polio-fight- ing antibodies in his bloodstreain. Enough antibodies prevent the polio virus from causing paralysis.
 Three shots of the vaccine are needed, the second shot being given 4 to 6 weeks after the first, and the third, or booster" much later. If a child's second shot has been delayed for some reason, the effect of the first is not lost, and the second should still be given, regardless of the lapse in time.
 Persons desiring further infor- nation regarding the vaccine it. self, or the local program, are urged to contact Mrs, Jeanne Clough, Public Health Nurse at the Health Center, phone 4731.
