When Ralph c. Johnson, now Assistant Director, Real Estate, Naval Base, first came to Kodiak in 1885 to audit books for Kodiak Fisheries, there was no base and no apparent plans for one. The small fishing village had two ve- hicleS of transportation, a truck that delivered for Kraft'S and a touring car sent here for MT. ErSkine'S daughter to use on her summer vacation from college. Two stores, Kraft's and Erskine's, a post office on the site of Donnel- ley and Acheson'S Mems Store, ruins of a Russian bell foundry

which had supplied bells to a num- Der of missions on the California coast, a few homes and buildings and some bars, largely comprised the village of Kodiak. The original Russian church was here; it burned down and was rebuilt later. There was no bank; fishermen took their money to MT. Erskine or MT. Kraft, bought on credit and col lected whatever was left at the end of a season. There was no hospital, no doctor; residents who needed medical care went by slow boat to Seward. One grade school served the town.
 At the close of the fishing sea son Ralph Johnson went home to his wife, Nina, in Spokane, Wash ington. Ralph told me then that some day he wanted to take me to see that beautiful country of Alaska, but never in my widest dreams did I imagine we would live there.W We came up in 1948 to stay year and we are still here.

Rich Uncle Myth Cripples Nation, ClubWOmen Learn

GLACIER PARK, Mont. (Spec-
 iaD-Too many Americans look
 upon government as a rich and
 indulgent relative, always gener-
 ouS and always ready to help us out, Mrs. Louise Bushnell of New
 York City told the Montana Feder- ation of Women'S Clubs convention here this week.
 For many years now, we have been passing responsibilities over to government as soon as we rec ognized need,' Mrs. Bushnell said. For while this seemed to work, but so many of these prob lemS have been sent along to Wash ington that now we are beginning to find out the frightful price we must pay"
 Mrs. Bushnell, who is Program Director, Women's Organizations, for the National Association of Manufacturers, reminded her audi ence that we are now laboring under a national debt greater than the national debt of all the other free nations put together, and that we are paying more in taxes every year than all the other free peo- ples together.
 Pointing out that the cost of government continues to spiral, Mrs. Bushnell told the convention that already one-third of the na- tional income goes for taxes. ITO day, government is the fastest growing industry in America, and this growth is at the expense of the hopes and plans of every fam fly" Mrs. Bushnell said.
 We have one big American family budget. In the family, if the husband spends more, the wife must spend less. So it is with our national income. When the govern ment spends more, then the Ameri- can people must spend less. There is no way to escape this fact.
 Are we getting the kind of gov we want, and is the price fair? It is our family budget that buys government, and we must judge it, just as we judge among brands of soap or makes of wash ng machines.
 The quality of government, and he costs we pay, will depend upon he kind of men and women we elect to office"

out on the doorstep and wait. If a dependent failed to show up, letter went into her husbands jacket and this was a black mark on his record. The only thing he neglected to tell me was that the siren always blew at noon on Mon- day.
 There were no pavements any where on the island then, and no stop signs. The road to town was awful; oneWay in some spots and often impossible. There were only about thirty cars on Kodiak when we had our car sent up; that took four months. When you went around that corner where Kraft's Super Market is now you expected to see Bill Hart walk out of a saloon.
 "T'll never forget one December day. We had gone into Kodiak to do some Christmas shopping but first we stopped in at the Mecca Bar.

We are accustomed to speak
inexactly Of the Bach Mass, :"
but although the B minor mass
is the longest and undoubtedly
the greatest, there are four
other masses by the master.
One Of them, that in G, was
given an excellent performance
last night at All Souls Memo
rial Episcopal Church, under
the direction Of John McCreary.
The G major mass is a mis-
sa brevis." that is, it consists Of
only the Kyrie and Gloria Of
the ordinary Of the mass. None
Of Bach's music was composed
especially for this mast was
taken in extenso from various
church cantatas. That this Is
so may show q lack Of interest
in the Catholic ritual on Bach's
part, but one should not there.
fore imagine that the mass Is
for this reason a casual work.
The B minor mass itself is
more than a third Of it cribbed
from other pieces, some Of
them secular.
Mr.. McCreary has an excel
lent small chorus and a good
orchestra Of oboes and strings.
David Beckwith was effective in
the baritone solo "Gratias
Agimus Tibi." and the duet
Domino Deus" was well sung

played and phoned his appre-

What happened? They're still
trying to analyZe it.
It proves, maybe, that while
the pros know fairly well if
their show has gone well or
badly, they're as much in the
dark as any outsider over those
"iffy" in-betweeners and that
the camera can pick up quail
ties in a performer (like Anne
Bancroft) that escape the at
tention Of fellow-players.
My guess is simply that the
Como show played with more
spontaneity that week; that 1t
was a refreshing change Of pace
from the contrived look" of
most weekly sessions. For one
thing. all guests were pros-and
top ones in their field.
