THE TORAH was given on
Shavuot. Why do we have
Simchas Torah, the rejoicing
over the Torah, almost half
year later?
This puzzled the rabbis and
they answered, It's like get

usually celebrates at once
but if they were wise, they
would wait a little to see If
the marriage is a success.
A good time is had by all
on Simchas Torah. 1t is a
time to drink and dance.
There is an old wheeze about
a Jew who on Simchas Torah
went around singing, full of
the Simchas Torah spirit
abetted of course by liquid
spirits, the less than cheer
ing verse: MAN comes from
dust and to dust returns"
Q . o
"WHAT KIND of melan-
choly verse are you singing
on Simchas Torah?' he was
asked.
"Its not so melancholy"
he replied. eff man came
from pearls or gold and sill
yer and returned to dust,
that would be sad, but if he
comes from dust and returns

ages to down a bit of
schnapps now and then, it's
not so bad"
We rejoice over the Torah
on Simchas Torah. Torah is
usually translated as Law,
but translations are so mis-
leading. Torah to the Jew
really means any kin d of
learning. Simchas Torah is a
kind of annual graduation
day for all.

NOWADAYS, in our Syna-
gogues, 1 am afraid, we don't
get as much joy out of Sim
chas Torah as our parents.
Our synagogues and temples
have become very modern
and in the course of it, some
of the joy has gone by the
board.
This past summer, l re-
visited a town where I had
formerly resided. There is a
new temple there now, so
much more beautiful than
the old one. Real modern,
too. From the looks of it,
you would never even know
that it is a temple. I spoke
to the rabbi, a very fine and
cultured man. I congratu-
lated him on the new temple.
It's ultra modern, I beamed.
But a quizzical look came
over his face. did you ever
hear the story of the mod
ern temple?" he asked. "It
was extremely handsome and
everything was automation.

Letter to the Editor

For a period of nearly two years, the Road Committee of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce fought to get an access road to the north end of Island Lake, where many summer cottages and a number of year-round residences exist. They presented the situation in de tail to the Bureau of Public Roads, who readily saw the desirability and feasibility of the road. After surveying and engineering, they allocated money for the job. Be- fore the road could be started, the Alaska Highway Commission de- clared nothing but high standard roads be built in Alaska. Since this would more than triple the cost of the road, the project was aband- oned, and the expense of survey ing and engineering was forfeited.
 Today there are more year round residents, including eight youngsters ranging from infancy through high school age. During the winter, oil for heat, materials for building, and other necessities must be transported over the ice. AS consequence, one of our prom inent business men broke through the ice this week, lost his truck, and but for miracle, would have lost his life as we'll.
 We have three legislators earn estly representing the needs of the Kodiak area in Juneau. They know of the attempt two years ago to se- cure the access road, and the req son for it's abandonment. We trust they will now see fit to use their full influence with the Alaska Road Commission SO that the nee essary funds will be allocated for the project as soon as possible. A mere four-tenths of a mile of min

The need of a road for the use of owners of property on the far side of Island Lake was brought forcibly to the front when truck and driver broke the ice as the lake property owner was hauling material over to his cabin.
 The truck now rests 20 feet un- der, and it was by a miracle that the driver isn't there too.
 A stretch of road of about half mile in length is all that is needed to give these people access to their property. It doesn't have to be a first class road either. There are at present at least dozen homes built in the area with others con-

 The local group were encour- aged by the recent visit here of Dr. Helen Dittman, Ph. D., who spoke on speech and hearing theraphy. They hope to purchase an audio- meter to test hearing and provide the services of a travelling speech and hearing therapist in this area. The local Chapter of ACCA is look ing forward to wholehearted re- sponse from the residents of Ko- diak in the Easter Seal enterprise, spokesman for the group stated.
 The money brought in from the Easter Seal Drive, in addition to the above items will go toward pro viding psychological services, loan equipment, and pre-school and un- graded classes for the handicapped children of Alaska.

 It is amazing how frequent we get that sort of sentiment from servicemen who leave here for duty elsewhere. We can understand it in many cases, sinee we know there are better places to be from and/or to go to. But when we get this kind of reaction from service man who went to San Francisco, we begin to wonder: I'm afraid this place doesn't show me much" he writes. Prices are out of this world It is, from what I've seen, comparable to Kodiak in that re- spect."
 He goes on to say: "Unemploy- ment is rampant. Wear a uniform and you get approached 50 times for a handout in a matter of few blocks Yet as tight as money is here, prices are going up instead of down Otherwise it is the same old rat-race l left three years ago to go to Kodiak.

 Having weekends and evenings free, he thought of getting d part time job, but this was knocked in the head when he found that they were hard to come by, as there were so few, and in specialized fields, it was impossible to get in because of unions.

 The great frontier of space" is now open to exploitation by private industry, according to the head of company that it is said has built, orbited, controlled, and re- covered more satellites than any other-more in weight than the combined total of the Russian Sput- niks. He is Robert E. Gross, Lock needs board chairman, who spoke before group in San Francisco.
 Gross said private industry must plan its commercial space enter prises now. He proposed the forma- tion of an industrial team of com panies to enter the commercial sa- tellite field. They would develop the complex ground support equip ment, launching pads, block houses, data processing devices, quality assurance organization, de velop the satellites, place them in orbit, and maintain and replenish them in space.
 Among other possible conner cial uses for satellites, Gross pointed to weather observation, astronomical observation, naviga- 
 tion aids, television satellites, and maneuverable satellites to carry out surveying assignments and search missions. He revealed that his company has been considering number of exciting and poten- tially profitable commercial space enterprises"
 "Fantastic?" he asks. He an- swered that by saying that most of the above have been demonstrated already.
