, SERVICE
BY Clint Gray


 In this day of the big airplane soaring costs, the federal sub. sidy, intrepid is the word for the air taxi operator who ventures to start small scheduled air line.
 Nevertheless, on Friday of last week, the first scheduled flight o1 Dick Galleher's Northern Avia- ton Nome Bethel service was marked by an inaugural flight in which three local people par ticipated. They were Ruth Me Lean for the Chamber of Com merce, Lloyd Sundstrom of radio station KICY. and Clint Gray of ths Ncszse Nugget.
 By a happy coincidence the Alaska National Guard was dedi- eating their new armory at Bethel on Sunday.
 Don Hoover and Joyce Galle- her made the round trip. Also aboard the first flight was a huge cake baked by the North Star Bakery for the Bethel Armory dedication.
 Northern Aviation offers new, fast, twin engine airplane, the Aero Commander 680 which is distinguished by its un-bush-like appearance and method of opera tion. This new Nome-Bethel ser vice offers airline type comfort, ;, with one hour and 20 minute scheduled flight time.
 In addition, pilot-owner Dick Galleher possesses the unique distinction of being the only small aircraft operator currently ap- proved by the FAA for night and instrument operation This ap- proval, based on the outstanding performance of the 680 and a flight check of the pilct-owner will virtually eliminate weather delays on this new run. Semi annual flight checks of the pilot by the FAA will serve to main tain airline quality on this new link in .Aiaska's ever improving transportation complex.

Communist Treasures Increasing In Laos

WASHINGTON R = The State Department reported yesterday that Communist pressures are in- creasing in both Laos and South Viet Nam and said a Chinese Communist forecast off renewed fighting in Laos is ominous.
 'sWe trust it does not signal a Communist intention to resume large scale hostilities and undo progress made at Geneva and in Laos itself," said press officer Joseph Reap.
 He said that in Laos violations of the cease-fire by the Commun- ist-supplied Pathet Lao have be- come more frequent. In addition, the Soviet Unions airlift of sup plies to Communist forces is con- tinuing.

A House the President Couldn't Even Buy

VERONA, NJ. d1 = President Kennedy, even if he wanted to, could not buy the house for sale at 55 Oakridge Road.
 The flor sale" sign tackled to a tree in front of the house ssyss it is for sale to college gradu- ates, acceptable colleges only" Actually, only one college is un- accepta1ble-Harvard.
 The President is a Harvard man.
 Mrs. Marjorie Anderson, wife of the owner, John Anderson, said her husband put up the sign be- cause he is irked by the number of Harvard appointees to the new Democratic Administration.
 we have been Republicans for years" Mrs. Anderson said. Look at the appointments President Kennedy made. Harvard men, every one of them.'
 As for restrictions to a college graduate, she explained, tits a nice neighborhood.'
 Verona Councilman Richard M. Sandler, a neighbor of the Ander- sons and Democrat and Harvard graduate. to boot, said he thought the sign was "hysterically funny" but added:
 q should think the laws would protect Harvard men against such blatant discrimination.

NORTHERN AVIATION COMMENCES BI-WEEKLY
 BETHEL SERVICE = ARMORY IS DEDICATED

was notable affaH With the attendance of Gov. William A Egan and Sen. Ernest Gruening who both had hand in the development of the Guard as the "eyes and ears" for the defense of Alaska.
 The new armory is very Simi- lar to Nome's armory with the ex- ception that the building is of wood frame construction, built on i14O piling each with it's own re- frigerator unit.
 The Nome visitors to Bethel were treated to the unexpected pleasure of an excursion to Me koryuk, on Nunivak Island. Me koruk is the village where the Bureau s1 Indian Affairs main tains it's reindeer herd and meat freezer plant.
 The occasion for the excursion was that since both Gov. Egan and Senator Gruening were in Bethel for the armory dedication they could inspect the freezer plant.
 Major Robert Ellis, no stranger to Nome, commander of the End Scout Battalion, had distin- guished roster of guests at the dedication. In addition to Gov. Gov. Egan and Sen. Gruening, att tending the dedication ceremony were: Gen. Thos. B. Carroll, ad- jutant general of the Guard, Col. Bernard Major, representing Gen. Michaelis of the Alaska Com snand, present and past members of the state legislature and Dr. Harriet Jackson, mayor of Bethel.
 Also playing" a major role ir the armory dedication were the men of the 1st Scout Battalion who went there and decorated the armory. These were Capt. Steele, Capt. Caldwell, Sgt. Louis Green and Frank Richardson.
 Monday the Nome visitors to Bethel returned via Northern Av- iation's second scheduled flight on the new service enthusiastic over the possibilities for coop eration between the two largest population centers in western Alaska.
 The activation of this new ar mory is a justification for the armory community facility con- cept. The Bethel armory is right next door to the new school and the gymnasium will be in use on weekdays by the children. In the evening the gym willl be available to the community for basketball and other community activities. The Air Force will ut ilize the hall on programs for their personnel one night week.
 This is in addition to the use for which the building was plan ned-heaquarters and a drill hall for the 2nd Scout Battalion.
 Already the people of Bethel have outlined a basketball series for adults and a little league ser ies is in process.

LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE, "A
new musical about an old OPP
eretta. Book, Music and Ly-
RIGS by Rick Besoyan.
From a psychological, socio-
logical and dramatic viewpoint,
Little Mary's tourist chalet for
Forest Rangers and finishing
school girls in the Rocky Noun
tains contains absolutely nought.
One can, however, find a pas
tiche of amiable, though tune
less songs, an example OF which
is the duet by hero & heroine:
"You and l shall live and die
Beneath Colorado sky"
before the hero goes out to
track the insidious Yellow
Feather.
One also finds satire on the
operettas of Romberg, Friml,
Herbert and their ilk. This is
unfortunate for these are OPP
erettas l know little about and
for which l care less. What
energies for me is a matted
milk: Chocolate and with egg
that one can enjoy for the mo-
ment, eat leisurely, and not
worry about.
Many of the productions
small pleasures are business
gags: a candle that Little Mary
blows out with a loud "click";;
a trusty cross-eyed Indian guide
who hunks into things; and the
tinidity of Cpl. Billy Jester de-
liciously played by Dom De-
Luise who pulls every trick
from the Borsht to the Bird cir
cult. / can not for the moment
recall another stage piece SO

is pleasant, though paltry, nom

ECHOES &
ENCORES
by
Irwin Ashkenozy

The world seems to be In the
grip of a curious international
schizophrenia. Responsible SCI
entists and statesmen declare
that survival depends on stay
ing ahead in the ornaments
race. They also agree that the
ornaments race will probably
finish off the human race. AS
Napoleon once remarked, "You
can do anything with bayonets
except sit on them" A stock
pile of hydrogen bombs can
hardly be more comfortable to
the national posterior. 1t may
explain why the Defense Dept.
cut its budget a half billion dol
lars and the Russians announced
a similar cut.
In Latin "pax" means peace"
and the more pax the less tax.
With the balance of terror be-
ing what it is, it is certain that
the head of any bloc who starts
a war will be the greatest bloc
head of all time.
Probably the one nation we
have most to fear is stagnation.
