A LINK TO THE MAINLAND FEASIBLE

The report of Felix Toner or the proposed ferry service between Kodiak and the mainland has shed a new light on the possibility of such a service.
 Shrugged off as something of a dream by some people, and a wished-fOr reality by others, the ferry service now looms as a real possibility. The inclusion of An ch0rage as port of call makes the service feasible.
 From Kodfak's point of view, we had nothing to lose and much to gain. But we could hardly justify the cost of inStituting such a ac1F4>e es-en trough it is quite reaS. iy seen we would benefit and would be able U offer considerable traffic.
 But there were SD many factors that entered the picture-C0St of the ferry, operating expenses, all which come high.
 NOW. however, with the service extended to Anchorage, and the traffic possibilities increasea 10 fold, it is no longer localized. With an estimated 100000 to draw from, and tourist business as add ed potential traffic, operation of

CURING PURCHASING
By Bob Bartos

 Manager. Friskies Research Kennels
 There are no statistics avail able on the number of dogs in- jured or killed by cars annually. If there were, the figures would probably be staggering. Many dogs that meet untimely death under wheels of cars are con- firmed auto o-chasers. If your dog is one of these and you value his life, you must either break him of the habit, or, failing this. keep him confined at aN times.
 A dogs desire to chase aM auto stems from his instinct t~ pursue anything that runs away

Death has come to another one of our good friends.


 Pat Lynch, well-hnown in these parts since 1941, has passed on. With his passing we are deprived of talking to an observer of the passing scene, a Kodiak and Alaska booster, a man of keen in terests with fine outlook on life.
 Pat was confined to his home the past many years, which must have been hard for such an active man. Due to an ailmelnt, he suffer cd the loss of a leg. Confined as he was, he still maintained keen interest in political and civic development.
 His later years were ones of Illustration and dreams and plans unfulfilled. But through it all he remained cheerful. Despite his handicap, he knew what was going on. It was always a pleasure to visit him.
 We mourn his passing, but are happy that his suffering is at an end.
 The Editors and Publisher of the Fairbanks News4Miner are to be congratulated on their tenth annual Progress Edition which we have peruSed with a great deal of interest. It is particularly note worthy in the first year of Alaska as a State.
 Errors can creep in to ae edition Of this kind, and we regret two of them affecting Kodiak.
 An event that has not as yet taken place is described as having happened. Un1er the heading Father Herman Named Saint By Orthodox Faith" the article goes on to say that Father Herman, who died 118 years ago, was canon ized, and was honored by pill grimage led by Rev. Father Sumner, priest of the Holy Resur- rection Church of Kodiak, to Spruce Island.
 Incidentally, plans are in the making for the event, and when it happens it will be great event, celebrated by the entire Russian Greek Orthodox Catholic Church of North America.
 The second error was one quite common in these editions We've seen it before. This. one concerns Benny Benson, designer of the Alaska flag. According to the article, which described how Ben designed the flag, he is now a garage owner in Ketchikan. Ben is far from that He lives in Kodiak and works on d Speedier mode of. travel than automobiles air planes. He is with the Kodiak Air ways, and has been for some time. 
 Aside from these two errors, the Progress Edition is full of facts and some fancieS as to the future of Alaska Here are some of them gleaned from its pages: Alaska is due for the greatest construction boom in it's peacetime history. In 1860, $23 million in planned con- struction will take place; $41 mil lion in a highway program; military building budget of $113 million is authorized, of which $90 million is new construction.
