 We are happy to see the Council favorable to doing all in their means to find the money and assist in acquiring the land, and aid ing ill it's construction. The diff culty now is to sit back and wait for the slow process of govern ment to bring it from the planning board to reality. After all these years of waiting, 1858 is not too sOOn.
 SUBURBIA Kodiak is go- ing to expand like it's sister cities to the South meaning Seattle and Los Angeles. Some are looking at Near Island with possessive eye,
 and action by the City Council may result in other inhabitants than cattle and sheep on the island. The suburbia of Kodiak! Quite the trend today. How to get back and forth. Why, commute by motor boat, of course.

Sure, Lets Dump The Garbage

We can't reiterate too strongly eur endorsement of the City Man aser's proposal of garbage fill to reclaim the land north of the City Hall. In it's present state, the land is useless Reclaimed. it has many ;possibilitia-
 's It has been customary for people to turn Up their noses and saiff the air for imaginary odors, when. Me idea Of dumping. gar bage within the city limits is pro- posed. They forget that New York, I.1a Angeles and countless other ...'r~s have been doing it for years
 ,fumpag garbage, and by strict adherence to sanitation methods, have added millions of dollars to Heir coffers with reclaimed land. The site mentioned by the City Manager is ideal for what would be in the nature of an experiment. AS he points out, the land in ques- tion, being adjacent to the City Hall. makes ;t natural. Grad lng equipment parked right next to it minimizes the cost of spread ing dirt over the garbage as it is dumped; further, it does not tie np any equipment on a standby basis. In fact it would take up the slack that is inevitable with any equipment. when not in use. It would also serve to make the op- eraters time more profitable. to thel City.

weather vanes" which support the contention of Robert R. Wieg- man, University of Alaska vice president, that Americans in creasingly are centering interest on Alaska"
 Tn the past few months we literally have been swamped with requests for information about Alaska and it's university" Dr. WieGman said. Just today Clues day) we received information re- guests from school officials and students in New York, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and Georgia. A woman in Yonkers, New York, said her club has adopted the Uni versity of Alaska as it's study topic for April" We received a similar letter from Den mother in East Jordan, Michigan.
 Her Den is studying about Alas ka- Letters continually come in seeking information about Kodiak, the possibility of employment here, etc.
 Alaska is on the MARCH, make no mistake about that. Gov. Mike Stepovich, in Portland Monday, de- clared the future holds fla solid prosperity and a solid future for Alaska"
 Opponents of Statehood for Alaska take heed. The money now pouring in frcm land leases 90 ped cent of the 25-cent-per-acre lease money goes to the Territory lis but drop in the bucket com pared to the revenue that will roll in from oil royalties. Here again, the Territory will get 90 per cent

All the above are fine econo mics. But, there are even better arguments in favor of the project We refer to a specific use of the land. A playground, for instance. o. A. "Torgie' Torgerson, Presi- dent of the Bank of Kodiak, has spoken many times as favoring this area as centrally located playground. We think he has a sound idea
 Another citizen, Norman Sutliff, who has shown by his actions as having the welfare of the children much aA heart, has come out with a suggestion to the City Council to make playground of a portion of the North end of the small boat harbor. We are not able to see eye to eye with him on this, but we believe his main idea is to have a playground in the downtown area, because it is needed badly.
 The area adjacent to the City Hall is suitable for such a down town playground. It is close enough for children from the south end of town, and the Aleu- tian Homes area as we'll. There's lot of land there. It just needs an idea such as that advanced by the City Manager, to bring to a re- ality, at not too much cost, suit able site for playground.
 ,.. We strongly urge the Council and the citizens of Kodiak to en- dorse this project.

 "This in itself removes one of the last big hurdles to statehood for Alaska" the Governor stated. 1t is thus that we can pay for self government, the big argument against Statehood
 The Arabian King Saud went from camels to Cadillacs on oil royalties These royalties are the key to self-government for Alaska. Oil is the lubricant that will assist us in turning the lock now holding us from autonomy.
