a quarter at home to bring you, and
you can't use any stovewood."

and hauled me back to her desk. "Jean
Louise, I've had about enough of you
this morning." she said. YOU'RE start
ing off on the wrong foot in every way,
my dear. Hold out your hand"
thought she was going to spit in it,
which was the onl y reason anybody in
Maycomb held out his hand: it was a
time-honored method of sealing oral
contracts. Wondering what bargain we
had made, turned to the class for an
answer, but the class looked back at me
in puzzIement. Miss Caroline picked up
her ruler, gave me half dozen quick
little pats, then told me to stand in the
corner. A storm of laughter broke loose
when it finally occurred to the class
that Miss Caroline had whipped me.

When Miss Caroline threatened it
with a similar fate the first grade ex-
ploded again, becoming cold sober only
when the shadow of Miss Blount fell
over them. Miss Blount, a native May
combian, appeared at the door hands
on hips and announced: eff l hear
another sound from this room I'll
burn up everybody in it. Miss Caro-
line, the sixth grade cannot cOncen-
trate On the pyramids for all this

My sojourn in the corner was a short
one. Saved by the bell, Miss Caroline
watched the class file out for lunch. AS
I was the last to leave, l saw her sink
down into her chair and bury her head
in her arms.

Fire Destroys Haines Lumber Co. SaWmill

HAYNES R - Fire which broke out late last night completely destroyed the Haines Lumber Co. SaWmill on Jones Point, this southeast Alaska community's only major, year-round industry.
 Unofficial estimates placed the damage in excess of $200,000.
 Bremen from Haines and neigh boring Port Chilkoot were hamp- cred in their efforts to fight the blaze by inability to pump water from nearby Chilkat Inlet, be- cause of an outgoing tide.
 The sawmill, which normally employs approximately 30 men, was temporarily closed while a new gang mill was being installed. The new equipment was lost in the fire.
 The mill was preparing to start work on a Japanese order for two million board feet of lumber.
 The blaze was believed started by short in electrical wiring.

Sen. Gruening Says
 Skinner Family Realize Big Profits From Alaska
Associated Press Special SerUice

WASHINGTON tR - Sen. Er- nest Gruening says the Alaska Steamship Co. is again seeking Alaskan freight rate increases al- though it has been making sub- stantial profits.
 Gruening said in testimony be- fore the Senate Commerce Com- mittee that Alaska estimates the shipping firm made between 14 and Is per cent profit on it's in- vestment for 1858 and 1859.
 ''The fact is" Gruening said, that the Alaska Steamship Go. is a family owned corporation which has widely diversified in- terests, many of which have been financed, directly or indirectly by the people of Alaska.
 During the Is years q944- 1959 in which the Skinner fam fly has controlled the company, the rate payers of Alaska have contributed in excess of $9 mil lion in profits and gains to this family.
 Further, under the benevolent care of the Federal Maritime Board, assets of this company paid for by Alaskans-have been repeatedly used for additional private gains"
 Gruening said that in the course of it's investigation of the current rate proceeding, counsel for the state have found that per sonal profits of $361 ,3l1 accrued to David E. Skinner, president oi the company, and to Robert J Behnke, his brother-in-law, 'tfron an intricate maneuver which they financed by funds borrowed from a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation-the Alaska Termins and Stevedoring Co
 "The exploitation of Alaska rate payers has been going or for a long time without challenge by the Federal Maritime Board or its predecessors" Gruening said

Hurricane Anna Roars Into British Honduras

MIAMI, Fla. R - Hurricane Anna roared into British Honduras today, threatening the small Gen. tral American country with dan gerous flash floods.
 The center was estimated over the mountains of the southern part of the country. It moved inland in the Mango Creek area about 75 miles south of Belize
 Highest winds were just barely hurricane force at 75 miles an hour in squalls over a small area near the center. The big threat was rain pouring out of the storm. The Miami Weather Bureau said flash floods were likely in hilly and mountainous areas.
 The years first hurricane raked the British Honduras coast with high tides reaching seven to 10 feet. These were expected to sub side late today.

again, stated one in the store Last winter oil was borrowed from the National Guard, Air Force and Public Health Clinic. With only the National Guard oil returned, and not the Air Force and the Clinic, there is hardly enough oil to last through next spring or next July 1862
 One resident of Gambell tried in vain to secure fuel oil from Standard Oil Co. of Nome last spring. The main reason the re- quest was turned down was be- cause, someone told the Standard ii that the North Star is going to heavily stock Gambell Native Store with fuel oil this summer Too bad there is not enough of everything again. Those of us who listen to the 'Music Coun- try Style" over KICY will no much this winter ''pull off oul boots and mukluks" and take i easy"

Sen. Cruening and Alaska Steam Have Words Over Proposed Rate Increase
Alaska Line Official
 Contends Grueni g Attack Was Politically Inspired

SEATTLE R - An A l a k a Steamship Co., official contended today that criticism of company financial operations by Sen. Er- nest Gruening was politically in- spired.
 R. J. Behnke, vice president issued a statement in absence of company president, DE. Skinner
 He replied to testimony by Sen Gruening before a Senate com mittee.
 "The recent remarks by the junior senator from Alaska, con- corning the Alaska Steamship Co.,, were part of an 11-page statement some of which chairman Magnu- son permitted him to read at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on July 19.
 "These charges have been made before and doubtless will appear again, but the public is entitled to know that these matters have been fully disclosed by the com pany and investigated by the Fed eral Maritime Board.
 "Those in Alaska who have witnessed the conduct of this man since he was imposed on the people of Alaska as their non- resident governor have lived with these tactics of using ar office of public trust to forward personal aim.
 ''TIhe real purpose of these at tacks should be obvious to al fair-minded Alaskans. The junio, senator from Alaska must stand for reelection in 1862. Any per son, any business, any industry whether resident or non-residen which can be used to make cam paign fodder can expect to bea the boot marks of his politica conduct in his overwhelming de sire for reelection. We do not ex pect these attacks to diminisf either in frequency or intensity but we think it only appropriate that the people of the area thi: company has served for 65 year: should consider the source anC purpose of these querulous re marks"

GAMBELL NEWS LETTER
By Clarence Irrigoo

Snow fell morning of July 4th but no one seemed to be bothered with it. Games were carried out in spite of the snow and low tenn perature. It was understood that Savoonga postponed their cele- bration of Independence Day, be- cause they were getting their boats and equipment ready for the arrival of the North Star.
 Ed Shepard of Alaska Fur Fac tory from Anchorage is busy with several men helping getting his building and equipment ready for a Sewing Center" in Gambell.
 Because his freight from Seat tie took all the available space on the North Star, only the fuel oil was shipped to Gambell and Sa- voonga Presbyterian churches. Two years ago when Alaska Fur Factory first requested permis- sion to set up a sewing center in Gambell, permission was granted by the Village Council on the grounds that nothing else be set up other than just sewing center"
 Wycliffe Bible Translaters Rev. and Mrs. David Shinen were in Savoonga for three days last week and for the first time un- yelled their work on Eskimo dia- lect, particularly for those of St. Lawrence Island Eskimos. B o h spoke understandable Eskimo in front of people assembled to hear them. In only two years time much had been accomplished stated MT. Shinen. When the as sembly was asked for "any ques tions," there was none, however one said that the alphabet writ ten on the blackboard did no have the letters "b' and I'd. MT. Shinen explained that whe
 the work is completed, there wi
 be no need for the two missin letters.
 Who knows that the birds 0 the air can hear what the lav makers are saying? I don't, bu cider ducks are flying in docks and flocks over the village o. Gambell than ever before evel since they flew up from the south Why? Did someone tell them tha' the natives will not shoot then on St. Lawrence Island? If there are any law-abiding citizens ir America, you find them among the Eskimos in Alaska.
