EISENHOWER AS HE REAL
LY IS - Ever since the 1856 cleo
tons it has become a popular
sport in Washington for column
lists, feature writer's and even
Darkroom politicians to poke fun
at the Presidents method of ex-
pressing himself. Some writers
have taken great pleasure in dis
secting the Eisenhower language

that he is a murderer" of the

weeks that followed I became ac-
customed to an armful every Fri
day. And with those refused pa
pers I knew I'd arrived.
The secret of my first sweet
smell of success was relatively
simple. I had reached a startling
conclusion: that Negroes were,
after all, just people. Needless to
say, | was more than a little sur
prised to learn that everyone
didn't share my opinion.
I reached this conclusion from
reading the Constitution of the
United States, and especially the
amendments to it, which inn
pressed me, and wouldn't turn
loose from my memory. Having
been so corrupted, I was shocked
at proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the State of Mis-
slsslppi, put to a vote in the fall
OF 1854, which empowered the
State Legislature to abolish the
public school system in the event
of indignation My best advertise
er-Who, by his own modest adj
mission, was the leading mer-
chant in the village-told me that
anyone who opposed the amend
ment was for the indignation Of
white schools. He was an articu-
late man and got the message
across: If / opposed the amend
ment he would stop advertising.
/ opposed it, true to my con-
science; he stopped advertising,
true to his word. We were both
honorable men.
I stopped to reflect and con-
cluded that success didn't Gust
happen" | saw right away I'd
have to work at it, which l did.
In a short time / didn't have a
single advertiser in Petal.
Having been corrupted by the

was my patriotic duty to render
a service to my state. did so in
presenting an editorial, on April

placed with the Crawfish.

I am a man of distinction. For
some it is difficult to find some
small item to set then. apart, but,
given time, it can be found.
My claim to distinction actu-
ally is two fold First, I own a
weekly newspaper in the village
of Petal, located two miles from
the town of Hattiesburg, in For
rest County, Mississippi, and my
newspaper has the lowest local
per capita circulation of any in
the world. | confess to an
Astounding ignorance of arith-
metic, but | think in dealing with
material objects the lowest count
is zero. And zero is the number
which represents my circulation
IN Petal (Whose own clani to dis
tlnction is, as proud Petalites will
tell you, that it is "the largest
unincorporated town in the coun-
try'o. Second, my paper is, to the
best of my knowledge the only
one in the nation with an unlist-
ed telephone number. In my de
Tense wish to point out that to
reduce local circulation from
1890 to zero in only five years
requires a certain ability and
constant effort. Frankly you've
got to work at it full time-and
a ringing telephone is distract
ing.
My distinction makes certain
demands, and to date the price
I've paid has been two ulcers, a
pointed head of gray hair, and
almost $4,000 in cash. I'll admit
my success was not sure thing
in the beginning. Actually the

post office one week. It was re-
turned to me marked refused"

Clothing = Make It Over, Remodel It, Repair It

Mrs. Jean K. Burand, District Home Demonstration Agent for the University of Alaska Exten- sion Service, announces a clothing workshop in ways of making over, remodeling and repairing used clothing. This workshop will be held at the Lavinia Wallace Young Recreation Hall on July IA, IS and Is, from 2 to 4 o'clock in the af- ternoons. That is Tuesday, We'd nesday and Thursday, from to 4 pm. If the street is torn up, please use the rear entrance.
 Bring your problem garments to the workshop where plans can be made for the needed changes. Clothing which fits properly pays dividends in comfort, appearance and service. Stop, look and think before you throw it away. The ''make-over" task may be rela- lively simple, especially if the un- suitable garment is too large, but wondrous things can be wrought from clothing that is too small for the intended wearer, especially if the material is good. A great deal can be done with knit wear, as well as with leather - for instance child's sleepers from Dads warm underwear.
 Fit is fundamental to service and comfort as well as to fashion, so a portion of each session will be devoted to measuring to fit, ," to treatment of grain of fabric and discussion of the problems most vexing to home sewers.
 You will derive a great deal of satisfaction from having trans formed a worn, stained, stale gar ment into an attractive, style right, well-fitting addition to the family wardrobe. Such changes can cost little or much in terms of money, time and skill - but the return in comfort and good ap- pearance is immeasurable.
 There will be no charge, and no roll will be taken. Anyone is wei come to attend any one or all of the sessions.

Contractor Uncovers Old Vaults On Front St.

Part of pre-fire Nome has been uncovered by Green Construction Go. in their preparatory work for Front Street paving. The vault foundation of the old US. Com missioner's office, which was on the corner of Front and Stead man, was uncovered last week. It is now in the middle of Front Street. Another vault foundation was uncovered this morning in the street in front of the Nomer- anna Theater.
 This vault is believed to have been from the old Cape Nome Bank on the site later occupied by the Nevada Saloon. The orig inal building and bank are re- ported to have been owned by a MT. Hodge.
 After the fire of 1884 property owners on the north side of Front Street gave the city part of their lots to widen Front Street and also to move the south side 20 feet away from Boring Sea.
