Were You Counted? !?

With the first stage of the 1860 Census of Population and Housing virtually completed locally, Dis trict Supervisor Betty Jane Nelson announced the beginning of a Were You Counted?" campaign to insure that no resident of the area has been overlooked.
 Persons who believe they have been missed by the census takers are urged to notify the census district office in Anchorage by means of Advance Census Reports. Prompt mailing of the ACRs will speed up the compilation of pre- liminary population figures for the area. These forms can be secured from the local Post Office. If the Post Office is out of the forms, they can be secured from the Bureau of the Census, 434 Eagle Street, Anchorage.

address to his officers. The first blood of the American Revolu- tion was shed in front of a Tory stronghold, the Royal Exchange. And the document which chang ed the course of world history, the Declaration of Indepen- dence, was written by Thomas Jefferson in Philadelphia'S In dian Queen Tavern.
 At the cessation of hostilitieS, the tavern, while retaining its importance as a public meeting hall, returned to its peaceful pursuit of happiness and good fellowship.
 Except for a brief setback during prohibition, the tavern has grown in popularity. Today neighborhood bars, restaurants, cocktail lounges and SWank sup per clubs are the friendly meet ing spots for business or plea sure. Their congenial atmos- phere creates hoSpitable back ground for a successful lunch con meeting, festive dinner hour or a pleasant evening of conversation. And many a TO- nance has blossomed over a candle-lit table in a secluded rendezvous.
 The tavern, along with brew CTS, bottlers, and distillers, makes a tremendous contribu- tion to the economic life of our country. Four cents of every tax dollar collected by the Federal government comes from the beverage industry. And eight cents of every state dollar is collected from the same source. Tn addition, the industry as a

The Tavern
It's Role in American Life

If our forefathers, the worthy Pilgrims, were to visit us today they would be aStonished and amazed at the America which has emerged from wilderness beginnings. There is one place, however, where the early set tiers would feel at home-the tavern.
 Modern fixtures and furnish . ings have changed the face of the tavern, but the heart re- mains the same. The spirit of good fellowship and cordial hos pitality which has earned the tavern the reputation as the "friendliest place in town" con tinues to be part of our Ameri- can tradition.
 The American tavern has a unique heritage. Just as our culture has been enriched by contributions from many na- tions, so the tavern bears the mark of its European predeces- sorS. Lonely immigrants landing on our shores were quick to establish centerS of recreation and refreShment which reSem- bled their counterparts at home. Thus we see taverns modelled after the English Pub, the Ger man Beer Garden, the Swiss Chalet and the French Cafe many of them feature spec ial nationality dishes.
 Since early frontier days when the tavern was often the only public building, it has played an important role in our com munity life. It was the social center when visiting dignitaries were entertained the hall of justice and in some cases even the meeting house for re- ligious services.
 News of the outside world came with the travellers who stopped for the night at the Inn. As men discussed the news and political events, the tavern be- came more and more the center for political activity. It is little wonder that the tavern evolved as headquarters for the Ameri- can Revolution, or as Patrick Henry called it: ". the cradle of American liberty"
 Taverns were known to be either Whig or Tory. Two of the more famous Whig headquarters were the Bunch of Grapes and New York's FraunceS Tavern, the latter being the scene of George Washington's farewell

A MEMORY OF
THE TENTH MAN
BY RALPH McGILL

First play closed by the Equity
strike in New York was Paddy
Chayefsky's "The Tenth Man" 1t
ii a unique and moving drama.
There is warming comedy in it,
and satire with the bite and
freshness of lines.
The three acts are confined to
a poor synagogue which actually
is converted shop. At the audi
ence's left is small, partitioned
office for the rabbi. A small rails
ed platform contains a lectern
and the Holy Ark. Plain, wooden,
folding chairs constitute the seat
ing arrangement for the congre-
cation.
The season is winter, the time
is $50 am. Old men begin to
drift in warming their hands at
the small electric heater. The
time for morning prayers is ap-
preaching. And, for prayers it is
necessary to have at least 10 men.
The mood of the play quickly
is established. The old men come
because they are old and lonely
and must live with their children.
Some of them reflect, with the
humor of overstatement, tensions
between themselves and their
daughters-in-law. There is cri-
sis. Foreman, one of the regulars,
can't come. His granddaughter, a
mentally disturbed young girl, IS
to be returned to an institution.
But, suddenly, Foreman does ar
rive. With him is a distracted
girl of ID.
Exorcism
The plays action begins to
move toward one of the most ar
resting climaxes in modern the
atrical history. The old man, who
deeply loves his granddaughter,
is convinced she is possessed OF
q dybbuk a demon, or evil
spirit. He wants a service of ex-
orcism.

rovel, THE DEVIL RIDES OUT
SIDE, Griffin, at 80, has lived on
both sides of three barriers most
people never traverse. He has
been blind and had his sight re-
stored. He has lived as a monk
and is married man with two
children. He is a white man and
has travelled and worked in the
deep South as Negro.
A tall powerfully built figure
in green tinted glasses, direct and
warm in responding to questions,
Griffin retired from the eddying
guests of a garden party to dis
cuss his Southern journey with
the Observer.
The trip, he said, was "trig-
gered by reports of increased Ne
gro suicides in the deep South.
They all seemed to give the same
reason: Why live or die?"

With the help of a New Orleans
dermatologist and japanese ra-

his skin, shaved his hair, and
started his four week tour
through Alabama, Georgia, Lou

plying for many jobs, getting only

Experiencing for the first time
the prohibitions of segregation,
constantly receiving looks of con-
tempt and suspicion, treated with
casual arrogance by the most ig-
norant whites, he found the inn
pact on his personality was "dev-
astating."

were of no help in finding a Ne

termed rape by economic coer-
cion."

They wanted to be comrades in

South is mongrelized. 1t is the
white mans contribution to the
Southern way Of life"
Regarding segregation, he said,
"You don't get to know the ropes.
Each place is a little different.
When you get on bus and go
to the back, you're like ship

There's some talk and pretty soon
