GlamOrous Nan Merrlman comes to the Alaska Music Trail for the concert here on Monday, April 24th at 8:15 p. m. at the Kodiak High School Auditorium The Kodiak BPW Club, sponsor of the Music Trail Series here, considers it rare privilege to present this dis tinguished A m r i a n mezzo-so- prano. Her tour on the Alaska Music Trail is the fulfillment of promise, made nearly ten years ago in Paris, to the late Maxim Scha- piro, founder and godfather of the Trail.
 Miss Merriman's concert career really dates from the day when the late Arturo Toscanini heard her over the radio in a guest spot with the NEG Symphony. She made an suspicious debut singing "Rigo- letto" under the baton of the great  master.
 The association between the TOs- canini family and Merriman was Opera and the Teatro colon of long and harmonious one, and she sang under the direction of the famed maestro countless times, making some dozen recordings with him. Man Merriman still feels that she owes her whole career to Toscanini's interest during her formative years as musician.
 There is scarcely a prominent conductor in the United States or Europe with whom she has not sung many times, including Bruno Walter, Ormondy, StokowSki, Ref ner, von Karajan, Monteux and Bernstein. For several seasons her orchestral commitments and busy recital schedule, left her little time for singing opera. It was in 1853 that she made her operatic debut at Edinburgh's Glynde bourne Opera, and subsequent sea 0rds.

A CORRECTION

An error was made in last weeks issue of the Kodiak Mirror.
 It was erroneously stated in last weeks issue of the Kodiak Mirror that the book Lord of Alaska" by Hector Chevigny concerned the life of Vitus Boring. The article should have read that the book deals with the life of Baranov.

More on the MiIt Grant Show

"kU OII GBHS N"
I am writing in protest OF
the cancellation Of Channel
b's Milt Grant Show. Milt's
show is the only form of tele-
vision that is directly aimed
at Washington area teen
ayers. Some people may say,
watch Dick Clark from
Philadelphia" But that is
the trouble, Dick Clark Is
from Philadelphia, while Milt
Grant is from Washington.
Milt's show makes area teens
feel at home and wanted;
there is never a time when I
do not see someone that I
know.
I understand that Milt'S
show is going to be replaced
by a news program and a
cartoon show. 1 am sure an
other time spot could be
found for the news program.
If the stations reason for
cutting Milt is that they want
to be associated more with
public service and news pro-
grams, why are they adding
another cartoon show?
TIMOTHY CORCORAN.
We the undersigned teen
ayers have been on the Milt
Grant Show several times
with our parents permission
and when we aren't on the
show we watch it and enjoy
it very much. And we GER
tainly would like to continue
to watch it since it is the
only dance party around here
for teen-agers. The show has
helped US in numerous ways,
the shy ones are less shy
from seeing new people and
being on the camera. We
hope to see Milt on the same
show the next five years as
we have the last five.
PAT JENKINS,
Plus 2IO Other Names.
I feel you aren't giving
Milt Grant enough of your
paper. I think he has done
a lot for teen-agerS in Wash
ington and even outside OF
Washington. It's a shame
that the teen-agers don't
have the right to have at
least one program on tele-
vision contribute to their
benefit.

news that the Milt Grant
Show is being taken off the
air. Gracious, why??? From
all that I have read, 1t seems
that nobody really knows the
reason-not even Milt Grant!
The show is loaded with
commercials, flooded with
top singing stars, always up
to-date with holiday features
and contests and is viewed
daily by nearly everyone 1
know-So it must have a
good rating.
Washington has only two

Talk on Channel 4 and the

but it Is only seen once a
week and features only few
people discussing topics. The
Milt Grant Show gives us the
music We enjoy plus the OPP
portunity to appear on tele-
vision in large numbers with
our friends, daily.
AS a teen-ager of Wash
tington I want to do all that
I can to save this show and
keep it on the air. I would
like to appeal to all OF the
other teen-agers to join and
prevent this terrible thing
from happening. Let's write
letters to Milt Grant.
MAXINE WILLIAMSON.
The Milt Grant Show
shows no violence, I mean
like shooting. 1t keeps teen
ayers from roaming the
streets. 1t would be unfair
to take away our only tele-
vision show. Many teen
ayers I know would rather go
on the Milt Grant Show than
anything else. The teen
ayers on his show are always
well dressed and well man.

I also get a kick out OF
watching the fancy footwork
and the latest fadS on the
Milt Grant Show. Mr.. Grant
seems to be so kind and con-
siderate and after five years
of emceeing his show, he de-
serves to stay on the air as
long as he wishes.
LINDA BEAULIEU.
I am sorry the Milt Grant
show is going off the air. l
have enjoyed the show and
seen many Of my friends
dance. Why can't we have a
show for teens in this town?
There is one in almost every
other city. We look to Milt
Grants show for the latest
dance steps, clothes styles
and just about everything
that is important to teens.
do hope that we see the
show as always, if not on
Channel 5, then on one OF
the others.
ELIZABETH PEARCY.
I was very surprised to
read that the Milt Grant
show is going off the air. I
visited the show and I had

lived on the small mesa southeast
of the main one. These people had
some horses but no sheep.
The site was also equipped with
warning system to alert the
people who were gathering food
or hunting that an enemy was
approaching. Large rocks were
fastened with ropes made from
yucca fibres and hung over the
edge of the mesa. A seminal who
was always standing guard on the
top of the mesa would cut the
ropes if he saw an enemy raiding
party approaching. The noise of
the rocks falling on the loose talus
slope at the base of the mesa
could be heard for miles and
would give ample warning to the
Navajos in the area. The Mexi-
cans and the Utes combined forces
once and attacked, unsuccessfully:
and at another time the Zunis and
Mescalero Apache launched an at
tax and were beaten so badly that
the Navaios were able to confis-
cate all their horses. This site was
never captured by the enemy. The
Navajos from this area also went
on several raids into the Zuni
country, bringing back the next
winters supply of corn, squash,
and many other articles.
The larger mesa was reOccupied
for short time by refugees from
Fl. Sumner. Nowadays the mesa
is considered "Chindi'' and is
avoided, especially at night. The
local people believe that the sur
rounding region is still occupied
by the spirits Of the warriors kill
ed in the defense of the mesa and
at night, voices and the beating
of drums can still be heard.

Statement taken from Raymond
Warner on December 1860 with
regard to Site number, CP-16-1,
located in T16N and RAW near
Mariana Lake, New Mexico.
The story or history of this site
was told to me by my uncle. Has
tim Shorty, or Bit 'ahnii Begay.
Hastiin Shorty died in 1850 at the
age of 96 and said the site was
already abandoned and decaying
when he was a young boy.
The mesa top was occupied
some time before Ft. Sumner and
was constructed and fortified in
such a manner as to afford maxi
mum protection against marauding
Utes. Commanches and Mexicans.
When this mesa, and another
small one to the southeast. were
occupied the Navajos were band
ed together in small groups and
were not the large tribe that they
are today. The Utes, Commanch-
es, and Mexicans made a habit
Of kidnapping the young Navajo
women during their raids and for
this reason the girls were always
kept on the tops of the mesas.
Only the old women, under the
protection of the men, would 60
out to gather seeds, nuts, wild
potatoes, wild onions and fire

were planted in the area between
the two mesas. Most of the people
