In loving remembrance of our little
grandson, Gregory Allen Hoyer, age
3is months, who left us on May IL,
1860:
Dear little grandson, we miss you so,
We loved you so dearly, I'm. Sure
you know,
You were truly an angel from the
day of your birth
God never intended to leave you
with us on earth.
Our hearts are heavy our tears
overflow,
As we think of how suddenly you
had to go,
But we have our sweet memories of
you TO keep
sleep.

 am sure the representative we sent to Juneau did what they thought was best. It takes a lot of time to form new state govern ment. We all welcome them home in the spirit of peace and good will. At this time I would like to take the opportunity of pointing out to the outlying district of Kodiak the good work that is being done by the planning board of the Kodiak School District. The board is made up of a group of men that give their time freely. They are trying to help us to keep our property properly filed and recorded and to see to it that Lots are not made too small nor roads too narrow. am taking this opportunity to thank these men for the fine work they are doing.
 The Board is headed by Dr. A. Holmes Johnson.

Pilot Describes Mission Of Mercy

The work of the Coast Guard and SAAR rescue missions were ex- plained to the membership present at the Rotary Club noon luncheon at the 49 Room Tuesday, by It. Paul Breed. It. Breed also spoke briefly on the recent rescue of the downed Kodiak Airways pilot, Gene Kingston, in which he took part.
 Rescue in the majority Of cases is effected, Breed stated, because the Coast Guard maintains a 24- hour 7-day standby duty, which in- cludes constant radio communica- ton with ships in the area, and out lying stations. The course of a downed plane is plotted, he said, and this information is passed on to all planes, including the air lines. Two light helicopters are stationed here, which have proved very effective in rescue work. The co is seeking heavier equipment of this type.

M etcalf Retires

Frank A. Metcalf, coordinator for the Alaska Department of Pub lie Works, retired last Saturday to make his home in California.
 Metcalf has served 10 years and four months with Alaska's high. way and public works departments. He has lived in Alaska since 1913. The 79-year-old public servant was a frequent visitor to Kodiak.
Kodiak mirror., 1961-04-21

There is a close cooperation be- tween the air detachment and the seagoing arm of the Coast Guard, according to Breed Two cutters, the Storis and the Bittersweet, serve in rescue work also.
 Breed said Kodiak is fairly typi- cal as a Coast Guard station. He mentioned 26 recent mercy flights carried out, most of them medical aid. The most recent, he said, was the St. George Island rescue, in which the people badly burned were given medical aid and flown to Anchorage for further care.
 The pilot sad in answer to a question that there were no false alarms here, in contrast to the South 48, where he said g out of 10 were flase alarms.
 Breed closed by stating that the Coast Guard has received an ex- treme amount of cooperation from

He writes: ''This letter is being written while dem onstration by pro-Castro factions is being conducted in front of the Federal Office Building. Signs of "Impeach Kennedy-Assistant to Murder ,'-"Cuba's Blood Is On Our Hands" Hands Off Cuba, You Big Bully" Stop the American Invasion of Cuba" and other signs.

 The Alaska State Housing Au-
 
 thority is seeking matching federal funds to aid in writing master plans for the development of Ko- diak, as well as city on the main land.
 This is the first step in develop ment plans for the City, as planned by the City Council and Planning Commission. Development of the plans will be done by the staff of ASIA. Since Kodiak has had no previous comprehensive planning an initial analysis" of economy, population, physical resources, ex. isting land uses, community ia cilities, transportation and other characteristics will be made.
 This won't be done overnight but it offers a hope that Kodiak may become a first class city yet.

Teachers pay increases have been so much in the news of late that it might be well to clarify the present increases and just what they mean in dollars and cents. The State legislators have increased the amounts all down the line. A brief summary will indicate the trend.
 A teacher with no experience, but 8 years training received $5,- 900 in 196O-61. Salary now is $6,050; with 5 years training (M. S.) old S6,20O; new, st, 800. One year exper- fence, old scale is $6,025; new $6,- 200; Swear training, old $6,375, new STOOD. 2 years experience, old scale $6,150, new $6,350; 5 year training, old, $6,550, new $7,200. 3 year experience old, $6,275, new S6,5O0; Swear training, old $6,725, new S7,400. 4 years experience, 3 years training, old, $6,400, new $6,- $50.
 Continuing a comparison of the salaries paid teachers with years training, with their years of ex- perience accumulating, we find these facts: years experience, old scale, $7,075, new $7,8O0; 6 years, old scale. $7,250, new, $8,000; ' years experience, old, $7,425, new $8,20O; 8 years experience, old scale, $7,600, new, $8,4OO; g years experience, old $7,775, new, $8,600; 10 years experience, old, $7,950; new, $8,800; Il years experience, old scale, $8,125, new, 5000; 12 years experience, old, $500, new, $9,200.
 Principals have been raised from $500 over the teachers scale under the old scale to $500; Vice-princi- pals, from $500 to $400 above teach CTS scale; and head teachers from $500 to $4O0 above; under the new scale.
 A recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post contained an editor ial titled: Isn't There One States man Unafraid of Pressure Groups? The editorial stated: During the successful effort to pack the House Rules Committee, much was heard about the intense pressure which the administration was supposed to be putting on members of the House to vote in favor of this pro posal. If they failed to support the Administration, defense contracts might go outside their districts or missile bases might be transferred somewhere else.
 The editorial goes on to say that we live in a period of ''foggy po- litical thought" when Congressmen can condone such actions as above, and put them down to "just poli- tics" The writer cited hypothe- tical case of a congressman who voted on the location of defense establishment because it offered the best industrial or technological advantages, instead of being polit- ically strategic" (His), acclaim would be astonishing" the editor ial concluded.
