NOT so SWEET

COII1OTC anu OtOSStlSIHCSSs Dul AIlS
the evolution of the human place
of habitat from the caves and
trees to a split level mansion
or a towering mass of steel.
men and women have grown to
like the thoughts of home.
Wherever one goes in the north,
south, east or west, over land or
sea- everyone is reduced to a
homebody at the mere mention
of home.
Eyes may grow misty and a
wistful look will cross a strang-
er's visage when asked about his
or her home. Soldiers on the
battlefields dream of home.
Travellers in faraway places think
of home. Even the astronauts
welcome the thoughts of home
while manipulating instruments
on their celestial flights.
Homes lose their appeal when
you stop and realize the number
of injuries and deaths which oc-
cur annually in the homes of
the country.
Let's dissect a home and think
of the specter of death which
lies unseen behind every rooms
door. First, we must enter the
home there are garden hoses
lying in mad confusion about.
Toys block the entranceways and
invite falls. Dwellers in colder
climates have to watch icy walk
ways in the winter.
Living in the desert we have
a year round hazard in our yard
gopher holes. Have you ever
stepped into one and twisted an
ankle2--
Kitchens have a long history
as places of injury. Housewives
like to climb on chairs and
crates to reach high places.
Sometimes fires caused by
greasy stoves ruin the old sweet
home.
Guess why l felt like issuing
home safety message this
summer l have cut my hand,
stubbed my little toe (Which re-
quired medical attention). fallen
from a chair. bumped my leg
(still bruised) and pierced my
thumb--all in the line of duty of
making home sweet.
Next time you hear about the
sweetness of home recall the
sour episodes too. Be it ever
so unsafe there's still no place
like HOMEl
Entering the living room (now =
adays with the family rooms
and dens there is considerably
less living in the living room
than ever before). one sees few
areas of injury however any room
is an injury chamber if asktrays
are around. The divan is no
torious as a place of death when
a careless smoker drops off to
sleep.
Throughout the house the trou-
BILE spots are greater in the
bathroom and kitchen. Both
rooms could easily have a skull
and crossbones warning sign in
view.
The bathroom has a long rec
ord of injuries and Deaths
The tub can become a place
of drowning or electrocution. A
radio in the bathroom is un-
desirable. A piece of soap left
in the tub is a sure way of
getting a cracked head.
Medicine cabinets hold sud-
den death for so many small
children who are tempted to climb
on a stool and partake of the
pretty pink or yellow pills. As

TAX HIKE

The arizona Tax Commission raised the
state property tax rate 36 cents to $3.50
for 1862. The raise from $l.44 per 500
of assessed vaEtation will work a hardship
of many young couples who recently bar-
chased homes and on the great numbers Of
retired persons Wh0 are h0me0umerS.
There is mo- doubt that costs of state gOU-
eymnsental admins tyation has Increased,
and the costs of schools has jumped, but
there certainly should be more revenue
from Increased sales excise and income
taxes which would offset the higher costs.
Governor Paul Fa,sain said the increase
of state property tax rate s0as unnecessary
and he felt that realistic estimates Of in
come from other sources had not been
made.
All citizens should reconsider the fall
uye of the past Iegis Iatuye TN failing to
find program of tax equalization. Some
thine must be done to relieve the tax bur-
demS of the beObIe of the state.

Tourist Facilities Needed I'm Alaska

Kodiak or any other community presently could not handle one- third of the tourists we would like to have, Bob Ross, COP candidate for the Secretary of State in Alas ka, told the Chamber of Commerce, Thursday.
 While we are begging for tour ists in the state, the fact is that nowhere do we have accommoda- tions to take care of them," he said.
 With the ferry scheduled to be operating in the future, it would pay Kodiak to look towards that end, he concluded.
 Ross was the guest of Chuck Powell.
 Another guest was Larry Gil bert, Anchorage contractor, the guest of George Cornelius.

 With the long summer days approaching, people are twist ing, rocking and rolling and just plain dancing.
 For those who like to get away from it all'' we thought we'd ramble along and find out where to go.
 First of all we went into the Crystal Room where the Gay Night CTS, Ron, Bob and Lester were giv- Ing the crowd Twist, Rock-and- Roll and dinner music For those who hadn't seen the Twist Contest going on it was a treat.
 The prize for the best twisters at the Crystal Room is two round trip tickets on Alaska Airline's Golden Nugget jet to Seattle to see the 10th Century Worlds Fair.
 Across the street Steve Boinich has the Model Cafe all re-done and Is offering not only the famous food he has served for the past 35 years. but Steve has couple of cocktail lounges operating.
 In the Persian Room you would be proud to take your grandmother for cocktail, and in the Bonanza Room the younger set would enjoy the lovely singing of Faith Win throp.
 Going into the Wonder Bar and the Riverside you would hardly rec ognize the surroundings. Every thing has been completely re-mod- eled.
 Judy, Danny and Bob are there playing nightly your favorite west ern style music. This is done in ex- cellent taste.
 Down the street we went into the Gold Rush Saloon.
 The Gold Rush entertainment fea- lures the Can Can Girls and the Russian dance. 1 Here you have an oldtime Alas kan atmosphere with June Phillips at the piano.
 June and the gals entertain night ly except Sunday when they make way for western band.
