SLIDING FOR HOME

How to dramatize in graphic
way the distance required to stop
moving vehicle has been a prob
lem with safety experts. Here is
an idea suggested by researchers
for the Murine Company: Suppos-
ing a pitcher in a baseball park
was summoned from the center
field bull pen 400 feet from home
plate. He clumbed into a car, US
ed to bring in relief pitchers, and
the driver gunned the car so that
it was going so miles per hour
as it passed the center fielder 300
feet out from the plate. At that
moment the driver decided to jam
on the brakes and he pressed hard
on the brake pedal all the way
home. Did he stop at the plate?
No, he did not. The car travelled
so feet between the time the driver
thought of applying the brakes and
his pushing down the pedal 1t
would require another 300 feet to
stop the car if it were travelling on
dry pavement. On the grass :.
who knows? But under the condi-
tions related above, the car would
surely plow into the screen behind
home plate.

Children Need
Lots Of Petting
AP Features

AP Features
LUCY was jumping about the fl
oor barking like dog. She grabb-
ed a stick with her mouth and
pretended to gnaw it. She ran ov-
er on all fours to her mother and
sat on her launches. Mother paid
no attention. Presently she began
to scream.
Whats the matter, Lucy?"
asked Mother.
"I'm a dog" she explained,
Don't you know what you're
supposed to do to doggie?"
Her mother looked blank.
You're supposed to pat dog" /"
said Lucy.
Her mother laughed and began
to stroke the little head presented
to her. Presently Lucy stopped
being a dog and crawled up into
her mothers lap.
Read me a story" she said.
Attention Device
Little children use all sorts of
devices for getting what they
need. Dramatic play is one of the
most used ones. A child pretends
to be what he is not but he carries
his feelings and emotions into the
new role. Oftentimes a child feels
safer to show how he feels when
he hides behind some make-be-
lieve role.
When Lucy was dog she could
ask for petting, as little girl she
couldn't, but once the doggie sh-
owed her that her mother could
and would fondle her then she CO.
uld be the little girl she was and
ask for what she wanted.
Lucy had been having rough
time and though she was all of
four years old she often acted like
a much younger child. Her father
had been very i'll and had been
taken away to the hospital. Mo-
ther was distraught and anxious
and Lucy had been suddenly up
rooted and taken to grandmother
whom she scarcely knew Now she
was still not sure of how life was
going to be.
Father, in the other room, cou-
ldn't play with her and mother
was not the way she used to be.
Lucy felt pushed away.
Baby Tricks
Like many children under such
circumstances Lucy became quite
babyish. Not only did she want
petting and fondling but she be-
gan to wet her pants and suck
her thumb. Before her fathers
sudden illness she had given up
these baby ways.
We often see children "regress"
as the psychologist says when
they are disturbed. In some child
ish way the youngster seems to
feel if only she acted the way she
used to act, then the whole world

and he has played vital part in community life as the years went by.
 George has been connected with the Kodiak Fire Department for the past 20 years. 13 years of that time he has been Fire Chief. Like 3 true fireman, he took that job seriously. Fortunately for Kodiak, this paid off several times. Windy nights, as is well-known, were SleepleSs nights for George. He is credited with preventing several major blazes in past years by his diligence, his ver-watchfulness as he patrolled the downtown area m the wee hours of the morning on windy nights as al Kodiak slept.
 George didn't carry out the functions of his job for glory, and certainly rot for tl,e money to be made, for there was little of either to be gained. A volunteer fire de partment such as ours offers little Of either. But he did have the satis- faction when he left here of chalking up an enviable record of few major fires, and minimum of

CHANGE OF. POLICY

The announcement in this weeks issue. that The Kodiak Mirror will appear on the streets on Fridays instead of Saturday as hereto fore, may not seem much of a step to our readers, but to US it is the fulfllment of a desire of long standing.
 'as4A We have felt foe some time that getting the paper tnto the hands of our readers on Friday will serve them better, and. will also be of distinct benefit te.our advertisers. we know wNwb -sre breaking .a tradition that has held for more than 17 years -. we are quite sure Saturdays won't be quite the same for many people with no Mirror to read as they recline in bed or have that first cup of coffee.
 Another dubious distinction comes crashing down with the change-for we have remained one of the few weeklieS who publish on Saturdays Wednesday, Thurs day or Friday is the usual date of publication across the country. Five years ago we lost the dis tinction of being the only hand-set newspaper in AlaSka-this was an other tradition of the past that we were glad to get out from under. We are just as happy to bring about this change.
 We hope our readers will go along with us in the change-you will find the news little more

A Study That May Pay Dividends

The current study of Kodiak's potential industries by the Indus trial Committee of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce is a move in the right direction, in our opin- ion.

fisheries will still play the domin- ant role in providing employment, and the biggest payroll, but it is also apparent that these will have to be supplemented by possible new businesses and enterprises.
 The committee is calling for sug- geStiOnS along this line. The ideas gathered from the study and the .qIeStionaires sent out, might we'll provide the answer to what the future of Kodiak will be.

Housing is urgently needed for incoming teachers. according to school authorities. Anyone having suitable rental property, or know ing of vacancies coming up, are asked to contact resident teachers, as indicated in another article found elsewhere.
 It IS ir0nical that situation like this has arisen-what with many vacancies noted in the Aleutian , Homes project.
 Maybe it's time for re-appraisal of rentals, etc, in that area.
 Item in today's Kodiak Mirror reads: George Magnusen and family left Tuesday for Tacoma, etc" This could be a routine item except f tie fact that the depar- ture of George Magnuson doesn't come un4er the comlnon occuren- ceS category.

damage-this in the face of the fact that much of Kodiak'S build ingS are not the last word in fire proof construction.
 This is not belated tribute to George-he has been given proof many times of the peoples grati- tude-maybe not as much as he deserves, but a slap on the back and public recognition from time to time. He leaves with an inner feeling that we are sure transcends anything we might say-the satis- faction of doing a job well, and showing results to prove it.
 Before we leave the subject of fires, we witnessed one-apparent- ly on the day of Georges depart ure-and saw the fire department in action. The Mathy Fitzgerald fire was brought under control be- fore it had a chance to spread to the treetops nearby, which could have been serious indeed.
 The volunteer firefignters re- sponded immediately, worked hard and efficiently, with Herb Heglin, former assistant to George, who is now Fire Chief.
