Local Events Fellow A Pattern.

Today marks the third anniyer- sary of the day the present owners of the Kodiak Mirror began pub fishing.
 Three years is not along time. In fact it seems like il was only yesterday that we sat at this desk with but one thought in mind-and that was to keep you, our readers, posted on sthe daily events that occur in the town of Kodiak. How well we have succeeded is for you to judge In looking over some of the earlier issues since February 1855, we find the happenings recorded are much the same as today. In one issue, for instance, it is recorded that Mrs. B0skofsky of Afognak, was rushed to the hospital here through the combined efforts of Kodiak AirWays and due to snow and high winds, was brought here by the USS LSM 161 following complications during childbirth. Mrs Boskofsky again figured in the the news last week as relative of one of the men who drowned at AfOgnak. We read in the same week of suicide, and that death came in a natural way to Sam Walling; that PIMA, practically grounded, received authorization

 < First of all, let me explain that the agent does not set the rates, nor does he have any part in the formulation of rates The rates are set by the National Automobile Under writers Association which is composed of members of the insurance companies. The rates, rules and premiums are then submitted to the various states and territories for their ap- proval. It is then passed on by the Insurance commission for that state or Territory.
 The rates are based on the number of losses as compared to the premiums collected and. might add, there are a numb CT of companies that paid losses of $1O5.OO for every $100.OO of premium collected.
 The basic principle of in surance IS: The premiums of many to pay the losses of few

The following week the Mirror carries an account of high winds reaching gale proportions, which scattered boats, barges and crab pots in all directions. Occurenhes of this sort will be reduced to minimum in the future. To continue, in Feb ruary there was talk of the annex. ation of the Mission Road area, another accomplished fact in 1858.
 The passing years have seen changes for both Kodiak and the territory. Locally we gave you ac- counts Of Marshall Crutcher's death and the return of O-A. (Torgie) Torgerson as president of the Bank of Kodiak; the celebra- tion of that institutions l4th birth day; the erection of the new Federal building and the Post Office; the shooting down of a locally based plane by the Russ ians; the voting in of the sales tax; the building of White Alice; paving of the road into town from the Naval Station, and territorial ly, the adoption of the Constitu- ton.
 We were particularly proud to tell you of our installation of d Linotype, which made the reading of the Mirror easier and elirninat- ing some of the drudgery in pub fishing it. .
 There are many events we would like to have been able to record the paving of Brooklyn Avenue and other roads; the catching of many fish; solutions to our munich pal water problems, money pro- blems, and few more of the pro- blems confronting the City, to mention only few.
 But you can be sure we are steadily making progress. The big and little accomplishments that we have chalked up in the past three years, are the measure of our worth, and indicate we are far from dead. Without them we are

Whether listeners agreed or

they seemed delighted with
some of the five-syllable words
and poetic phrases he use To
say IL.
At one point, he likened the
Supreme Court to Sputnik, de-
claring:

mark that matters with which
