Radio Silence
Brings to One
Many Thoughts
By Req. L. E. OSt

Thoughts in the morning Of
April 10, 1861.
What can be the reason that
we do not hear KICY on the air
this morning? Is Mr.. Zylstra let
ting the listeners feel how it is
without KICY2 Are there me-
chanical-electronic troubles, pre-
venting the station from being on
the air? Are there FEC regula-
tons to be complied with at the
beginning of a new year Of broad
casting? Or-is the station simply
taking a sleep-in morning after
a year of steady work? Or-have
they landed?
If the trigger lets go, forcing
us into a shooting war" sho"ld
we not realize fully the possibility
of the enemy landing in Alaska,
and landing on Seward PENN
sula?
Would they not first attempt
to take over and control the air
field, the air strips, the radio
station, all radio communications
facilities, the telephone exchange,
the city power and light facili-
ties, the water, stores and food
supplies?
Would they not attempt def
nitely to dispose of the limited
National Guard unit and the
white people? Could the few Ma
ational Guardsmen defend and
hold all the so-vital points of de
Tense and survival? In this mat
ter, as in so much else in this
rocking worlds it not the part
of wisdom not to take deceiVing
wooden nickles so freely handed
out by some politicians and dem
agogues?
For such an emergency, should
not the white men, and the reli-
able native men, have arms anc
by pre- arrangement rush to the
vital points of defense assigned
them?
Should not arrangements be
made for the protection anc
safety of the families, of womer
and children and the helpless tc
the extent possible before the
trigger lets go?
Keep defense in tip top shape
at all times and the powder dry,
and
Remember the true and living
God and the prayer Jesus taught
His disciples and us.

FraIey Rules Out
Fraud In Acorn
Patterson Case

No material evidence of fraud or
misrepresentation was present in
the sale of Acorn Associates, local
farm and building supply busi-
ness, to John NJ. Patterson, Associ-
ate Judge Neil c. Fraley ruled
yesterday in Garrett County Cir
cult court.
The decision came as the result
of a suit brought by Patterson
against the owners of the bust
ness, Earl Zepp, Karl Kahl, John
Lilley and Dean CoWic
Patterson had claimed that he
deposited $l7,5OO as deposit on
the purchase of the Outstanding
shares of the business, and that
he later found the facts concerning
its financial condition to be un-
true. In March, he asked for an
Injunction seeking the return of
the money and asking that the
agreement made between him and
the owners of the company be de-
clarcd void.
The defendants then entered 4
denial, stating that the agreement
was not fraudulent but had been
entered into in good faith by both
parties, and asked that the sale
of the company be declared valid
and binding. Since Patterson hal
failed to 90 through with his offer
of purchase, for a total price of
S39,120, they asked that the Sl750O
deposited in escrow be turned over
to them as liquidated damages.
Still TO be determined by the
Court is the disposition of the
$1750O deposited by Patterson In

damages suffered by the defend
ants in the failure of Patterson to
conclude his purchase contract
