Exploding Stars, called novae are
obscure stars which suddenly flash
in the sky with a burst of light
many millions of times as bright
as the sun, reports DR.. Robert P.
Kraft of the Mount Wilson Obser-
vatory in California. These phono-
mena, which have been observed
for centuries, emit as much power
as one burst as trillions of the
scientist says. Most novae flash
only once, but there are recurrent
types which flare up periodically
at intervals of from 10 to 100
years.

Reject All Bids
 Submitted for Southeastern Ferry

JUNEAU tR - The State Di- vision of Marine Transportation said yesterday it has rejected all bids submitted for construction of the Southeastern Alaska Ferry, be- cause the bids exceeded available State funds.
 B. E. LeWellen, Director of the Division, said Philip F. Spaulding, the Seattle marine architect who designed the ferry, has been in- structed to redesign the ship, which will link Kodiak Island and the Kenai Peninsula.
 'Basically, we're going to try to come up with "a smaller ship which won't cost so much" Level len said.
 Original plans called for a 276- foot ship with 60-foot beam, capable of carrying 250 passengers and 54 automobiles at a sustained speed of 15 knots.
 LeWellen said he and Spaulding felt the new design should retain the vehicle loading elevator which was included in the original plans.
 The lowest bid submitted for the southwestern ferry was an of fer of $3,733, ,945 by the Puget Sound Bridge and Drydock Co. of Seattle, which is constructing the three ferries for the Southeast Alaska run.
 Puget Sound Bridge and Dry dock and three other shipbuilding firms entered total of 132 bids on the southwestern ferry, inc1ud- ing bids on various alternates and different delivery dates.

social, political and economic development Of these Islands

such programs as will move US all forward. This victory is
not to be mistakenly used in a indicative manner, or to crow
about, or to punish the losers or those who voted for them,
or anything of the sort.
o CURSE, the victor must Of necessity be happy
He would not have gone into battle if he did not want to
win. He has worked hard, gone before the people and must
have convinced them.
BUT THERE IS work to be done. We still suffer from
lack of water. Electrical power is short, and education has
a long way to go. Then there is the ever-present question OF
economic development to the point where we can and will
stand on our own feet. Then there issstill the acute housing
problem. These are not just problems, but difficult, and deli
cate ones.
IN THE DEMOCRATIC system, each branch Of the
government stands on its own, with no control exercised by
any other branch. The legislature, therefore, has a special

Pastor Wrote To
Please Children

''Up on the Housetops" is a
happy Christmas song written
by an Ohio pastor, Benjamin
Handy, in 1864.
Believing that music was a
part of religion, he held week
ly songfests for children in
New Paris, Ohio. Since he was
short of money, when the chill
dren needed a new song, he
wrote it himself.
The song, which tells the
joys of going "up on the house
tops" and 'down through the
chimney with good Saint Nick"
to the "click, click, click" of
reindeer hooves, gained early
popularity.
Its origin, however, was lost
when the Chicago publishing
house of George F. Root, pub
fishers of the song, burned.
Credit for the authorship was
not restored until after Han
by's death.
"Angels We Have Heard on
High" is a French carol, al
though some sources say that
it originated not in France but
In Quebec, Canada.
