Old Records
BE Preserved

The records of the past take
on meaning, John A. H. Sween-
ey, curator at Winterthur Mu-
scum, said as he made a plea
for family papers and old rec
ords to be turned over to his
torical societies to be studied
to re-create the past for future
generations, at the meeting of
the Duck Greek Historical So
ciety recently at the Twen-
tieth Century Club. MIR. Sween-
ey read from letters exchanged
between girls of the Fisher and
Norris families of Philadelphia
and Duck Creek Crossroads.
Early settlers at Odessa were
aware of history, had a sense
of destiny and of the import
ance of breaking down the will
derness," he continued. The
same sense of obligation" ap-
plies to Duck Creek Crossroads,
a small community which ser
viced a large and prosperous
area. 1t was located on the
Kings Highway, and there were
merchants, lawyers, cabinet
makers, politicians, and an out
post of the Episcopal Church,
and many well known families.
Horace L. Hotchkiss, president,
noted the improvements at The
Lindens, and expressed appre-
citation for the assistance of
Leon DeValinger, state archiv-
ist, and to Chauncey Simpson,
of the State Highway Depart
ment for moving, the early log
cabin from North Main Street
to the grounds of The Lindens.
He presented Wilbur Ross Hub
bard, of Widehall, Chestertown,
Md, and Dobert L. Raley, arch
itect. Mrs. Marion Carson, of
Philadelphia, Pa, an official of
the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, was among the
distinguished guests. MIR. Hotch-
kiss announced plans for the
observance of Duck Creek-Smyr-
ma Day, on Saturday, June 2,
with Norman G. Wilder and
Mrs. c. E. Speakman, Sr., asco-
chairmen, and urged community
support to the project. Paint
ings of early scenes at Duck
Creek were on view, the work
of Mrs. Opal Bodley and Mrs.
Laura Stanhope, local artists.
Miss Mary Holland was hostess
at the coffee hour, assisted by
Mrs. William Rundell, Miss Ruth
Jones, and Mrs. Raymond D.

be set up close to stairways
because in case of fire the stair
way as an exit from upper floors
would be blocked. With regard
to the care of Christmas trees
in the home, the National Board
has these following suggestions:
Q) When you choose your
Christmas tree this year, select
one which appears freshly cut.
Feel the needles to make sure
they are firmly attached.
(2) Keep the tree out of doors
until just before Christmas. And
keep it standing in a pail of
water so that it will remain
fresh.
(3) When you put the tree up,
place it in the coolest part of
the room. 1t should be as far
as possible from radiators, heat
ers and as far away as pos
sible from the fireplace. This
will reduce the chances of fire,
and keep the tree from drying.
(4) Use a tree stand which
has a water container in which
the trunk can rest. Most trees
drink" water fairly fast, so
fill the water container daily.
(5) Christmas tree decorations
should be flameproof. Use only
decorations made of glass, met
al or fire-resistant material.
(6) Electric trains should be
set up away from the tree. A

result of a combination of
weather and game management
factors. Federal, State and pri-
vate areas have been constant
ly improved to accommodate
ducks and geese. This has been
done by the construction of a
few large water impoundments
and many small wildlife ponds,
by special food paintings, and
by the establishment of refugees
in key locations. With the gen.
eral absence of snow and ice,
all of these areas have been
available to waterfowl. If the
becomes particularly
severe, ducks may continue
their migration to warmer areas
to the south.

WHO CAN DO IT?
R. L. Rarick Painting

There's nothing like a
coat of paint to make a house
look better" /" according to
Richard l.. Rarick, W h o

Richard l.. Rarick Painters
is located at Mr.. Rarick' s
home, 1874 Ferris Ave, Char
don.
He can do both spray and
brush painting. Spray paint
ing is quicker, faster, less ex-
pensiVe. This technique, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rarick, is
mostly used on eXteriorS. In
some cases it is better, but
it isn't always feasible.
He has had his own paint
ing business for fifteen years,
and guarantees all work.
Mr.. Rarick has products
available from many differ
ent companies, to be sure to
have the product to suit his
customer needs.
Paint can protect, water
proof, and preserve the mat
erialS in the building, as well
as color the building. "Hav-
ing your building, whether
home of business, painted as
often as necessary will not
only improve the appearance
of it, but maintain the prop
erty value"
The customer can supply
the paint, or Mr.. Rarick can
furnish it. He often conSultS
with his customer, because,
knowing as he does, how the
colors of paints look on var
iouS surfaces, and sizes and

effect.
Mr.. Rarick can spray the
protective coating needed on
roof, but also can repair
and install roofs.
The time required for a
paint job depends on each in
dividual property. when we
see it, and measure it, we
know how long it will take to
do the job" Mr.. Rarick said
Mr.. Rarick owns a COM

a good painting job. There
are two trucks, three spray

When you spend as much time on reviving Kodiak's past as we have lately, you almost lose touch with the present world.
 Our reason for digging into this towns past, of course, is to gather information for the special edition of the Kodiak Mirror. We had planned this for Nov. 24, but real izing that is a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we have had to postpone it for week. The date has been set for Dec. 1.
 We have found those early years quite interesting-any place that lies almost dormant for so many years and all of sudden gets into the limelight and becomes import ant is interesting. Names of men we have heard ever since we came -Erskine, Kraft, Pajoman, Snyder, Martin, Frederickson, Chadwick, Torgerson-figure all through the early times. They struggled with and had hand in shaping up the town for the things to come Most of them we know personally. Most of them are gone-because of deatt or other reasons.
 Memories of them and the stir ring days in which they lived will remain with us for all times.
 We're not the only ones who look back over the past years and note the progress made. I received a copy of the 1861 Progress Edition of the Fairbanks News-Miner in the mail a couple of days ago. This is the papers 18th issue by that title Their scope is a little broader than ours; It is Alaska: The Great Land. Its information encompasses Alaska, although in our hastily skimming through it we didn't see any mention or pictures of Kodiak.

The recent uptrend of the stock market has been attributed to sev- eral influences. The New York Stock Exchange was closed on Tuesday, November 2, Election Day, and this caused increased de- mand the following day. Many ob- servers say that the Democratic vic tory in the gubernatorial race in New Jersey had an important eff feet on the market. Also figured in the reasons for the advance is news that retail sales in October were the second largest on record and were 2as above September volume.

Stock Market Headlines

Reports of higher third-quarter earnings of corporations were in- strumental in bringing about high CT prices.
 Among those issues most actively traded this week were electronics, due to tax selling and investment recommendations by brokers. Ben guet Consolidated, a gold producer in the Philippines, was heavily traded due to reports of higher quarterly earnings.
 On Monday, November B, the Dow-Jones average of 30 industrial stocks closed at 728.42, the highest level in its 65-year history.

material, so that they can be evalu- ated with statements of the past.
 How does one read an income statement? It is well to know the gross profit percentage and how It compares with similar businesses. This may determine whether your selling prices are normal, too low or excessive. Inventory turnover should be noted. The more times inventory is turned, the more profit is made with less dollars in vested. Also, each cost and expense should be shown as percentage of sales as well as dollar amount to determine the cost of doing bus mess.
 Periodic statements should be made for analyses and comparison. Material variances shown on com parative statements (income state. ments for each month or period shown side by side) should be studied and the cause determined.
 The income statement is a tool of management to use in boosting revenue, controlling costs which will reflect in more net income per dollar invested.

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

So we guess it's up to us on that score.
 Complete with pictures and ma terial on Alaska, this interesting edition contains sections with titles such as Building State" Gross roads of Empire, Tapping the Treasure, "The Shortened Life lines, Americas Shield", "The Faithful Giants, Talent For To morrow. The titles suggest what's in store for the reader.
 A different kind of Crime Does n't Pay" story is related in this special issue. Three men suspected of illegal hunting in the Totalanika River area in the foothills of the Alaska Range, were finally brought to justice. But it wasn't easy. For more than a week the game viola tors matched wits with the posse in blinding snow and sub-zero tenn peratures.
 Airplanes, radio communications, walkie talkies, snowmobiles and four dog sled teams were used by authorities before they were able to arrest the men-one at a time.
 Result: Three men bagged, four illegally taken mountain sheep con- fiscated and parts of three unlaw- fully shot moose.
 Ali Madsen, big game hunting guide here, brought in huge skull of Kodiak bear the other day. One of his hunters bagged the big fel- low, which will no doubt prove to be in there with the Boone and Crockett trophy heads. Ali was sending it over to Anchorage for official measurements. Word has come back it measured 30 8/16 which is not official, as nothing is official until the word comes from

INCOME STATEMENT (con't)

lNOOME SlAlEmENI lcOnCt
 What should be shown on the in- come statement? Each business must evaluate their own require ments. Wherein there are several projects or departments within a business, the profit or loss should be shown for each project. With out departmentalizing the revenues and costs, management cannot de- termine what department or pro- ject is making or losing profit. Nor can it take appropriate action to better the operation.
 It is important that the business practice consistency. In view of such variations as the different methods for cost allocation in ar irving at depreciation, pricing of inventories in arriving at cost of goods sold, and the different classi- fications for the presentation of operating and financial data, meth ods that are adopted should be consistently used if there is to be continuity and compatibility in the income statement. Conclusions are distorted, for example, if straight line depreciation is applied against the revenue of one year and output depreciation against the revenue of the next year, or if securities are reported under long term invest ments one year and under current assets in the following year. How ever, this is not to suggest that methods once adopted should not be changed. A continuing analysis as well as changing conditions may suggest changes that will lead to more informative statements. Such changes should be noted, where

Court Cases

Bail was forfeited in a number of cases of arrests this past week, mainly in cases involving charges of drunkenness.
 The following forfeited bail: Jerry Mcdonald, $50 and Nick Inga, $25, arrested on drunk charges; Thomas F. Kenney, and Walter Erickson were each fined $50 which was forfeited, when ar rested on charges of being drunk and discrderly. I. J. Brundage for feited bail of $75 when arrested on a drunk charge.
 Thomas P. Hall was sentenced to 30 days when arrested on a drunk charge. In other cases ap- bearing before the Court, Merton D. Cochran was fined $25 and given a 30-day sentence when arrested on the charge, William c. Smack was fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Robert Godfrey, arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, was sentenced to 90 days with so of it suspended, when his case was tried before the Deputy Magistrate.

the Boone and Crockett Club Com mittee, some time later.
 The bear was shot by Erling W. Hansen, of the Tyee Lumber Go, Seattle, when he was on a hunt with Ali from Oct 1924, and was taken about ? miles inland at the head of Uganik Lake. It all goes to prove there are some big ones in there yet.
 Interesting. too, was one other bit of information by Ali. One of his hunters, who has been up here several times, is John s. Day. He's a Medford-area rancher (In Ore gon) who, besides going every where in the world to hunt big game, is also mountain climber of note. He is a member of the famous Explorers Club, and if you remember; was seriously injured last year in climbing Mt Mckinley. But he's back climbing mountains again, and has been invited to be a member of the first all-American team to attempt "grand-slam' mountain climb in the Himalayas in 1863.
 The effort, which has the back ing of President Kennedy, will be to climb Mt. Everest, worlds high est mountain at 29,028 feet, Lhotse, 27,890 feet, and Nuptse, 25,850 feet, all by the same team.
 For you uninitiated who wonder why anyone would want to go miles away in order to go through all kinds of privations and tortures in order to climb a mountain, here are few reasons why the climb is be- ing made: Norman Dyhrenfurth, ex- pedition leader gave these reasons: "One, we are doing this for the prestige it will bring to the United States in sponsoring the first sim- ultaneous assault on three of the worlds highest peaks by one team of climbers. And two, we hope to complete number of scientific and research projects. These will include high altitude physiological research, psychological research to discover the behavior patterns of men under extreme stresses of al- titude, weather, diversity, research projects in glaciology, geology and tests of mountain and winter war fare equipment for the U. S. Army"

WISHING THE GOVERNOR WELL
GOVERNOR RALPH PAIEWoNSKY has taken office
and is now in full command Of his duties. He took the oath
on a spot which he has known all his life, and for position
with which he has been connected, even though indirectly,
for many, many years. He is really at home.
FEW MEN HAVE come into a spot more fully prepared,
81 aware Of what is entaled Even if the Governors audience
did not know Of his awarenesS, his inaugural address clearly
brought out this fact. And going further, an inaugural address
in these circumstances was almost anticlimactic, the Cover
nor views and background being a matter Of common know
ledge, anyway.
BUT MORE IMPORTANT is the tremendous response
blity which rests on the Governors shoulders, once he is on.
his own. No governor, with the possible exception Of for
ner Governor de Castro, has ever assumed his duties with
such i background, or with greater obligation than Governor
Paiewonsky. Inexperience On lack Of knowledge can be no ex-
cuSe, nor is there need for o~rientation.
THE GOVERNOR KNOWS that there is a water pro-
blem; that electrical energy is a must, and that the comm1n-
iy cannot continue on a make-shift basis in this connection.
Certainly, he is aware of the fact that these Islands must
look themselves in the eve and seek to be seh=sufficient. The
excuses Of yesterday are fast vanishing and before long will
have vanished altogether.
TO MAKE GOOD, the Governor has come up with a
comprehensive program, and right away. He has outlined and
let the people know where he intends to lead, and how. He
has a generation Of young people, more aware, more alert,
more educated and sophisticated than any before, and
demands must be met.
THEN THERE IS the matter Of having followed an adj
ministration which was, BY every known standard, one Of the
best the Virgin Islands has ever seen. Former Governor Mer-
win can Be proud Of his efforts and his accomplishments and
having set the pace, his successor will be under that much
greater obligation to carry on and even establish a faster pace.
is By NO means too early to wish Governor Paiewon-
SKY well, and to ask that he Be given the fullest possible CO.
operation, for we truly believe that he is vitality concerned
and IS ready, willing, and able to do everything to provide the
most productive administration these Islands have ever
known.
