Kodiak Commercial Building Site Work Underway

Evidence of Kodiak's continuing prosperity and confidence in it's bright future began taking visible form during the past several weeks.
 Ground breaking for the new Kodiak Commercial department store building got underway early this week in the area between the city fire hall and the Fred Brechan home.
 The site being cleared of overlay will be the location of their huge new store while immediately next to it will be located their four story 52-unit Shelikoff Hotel. Both are expected to be completed in time for the arrival of the Kodiak 1s- lander ferry boat next July.
 At the site of the old Doghouse Cafe which burned last year a new pumice block structure IS go- ing up with the walls virtually completed and work commencing on the upper level now. The VFW and Legion are reported to be firm ing up plans to extend the building back through the remainder or their lot for the new veteran 5 Center.

Governor Renames Kodiak IsIander''::
 Kodiak Not Pleased

The Kodiak Islander" ferryboat has been renamed by Gov. Egan according to Pete Deveau who said the governor had phoned him and advised he had decided to call the vessel Tustomena."
 The Mirror made a spot check throughout town to ask about two dozen people what they thought about the new name the governor wishes. Not one thought the name was appropriate or satisfactory. Comments ranged from: "Tusto- mena?" Sounds like a South Afri- can name!' to the more succinct Tt stinks' and "Phoee!' Nobody approved the name and most agreed that Kodiak Islander" was the most appropriate and desir- able.
 Several people have said they intend to circulate petitions asking that the governor reconsider and retain the name by which the fer ryboat is already popularly known by: Kodiak Islander"

just what they expect to gain in

Of their three children in this

are not wanted?
Why do these parents demand

their school on Route 60 in order
to get TO the white school, eS-
pecially when their school is Just
as fully equipped as the average

ONE OF the interesting aspects of the
" clash between India and Red China
IS that such d war pits the worlds two
most highly populated countries against
each other
Red China contains approximately
100000 900 persons. India's population
is estimated at 100000 as of 1861.
Thus today's accurate figure for India
might be nearer $50 100000
Neither of these giant nations have
the territory, or anything like as much,
as that now occupied by the Soviet
Union. The Soviet Union, by contrast
with either India or Red China, is

 Visit West Germany

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy will make an informal working visit" to West Germany after visiting Italy later this year, the White House announced today.
 Stops in Italy and Germany will be the only ones made by Kennedy during his European visit, the an- nouncement said.
 It had been thought likely earlier that Kennedy also might go to London for meetings with British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan.
 It is expected Kennedy will go to Western Europe in May of June.
 Mrs. Kennedy will accompany him to Italy, White House press secretary Piere Salinger said. Salin- ger said he did not know whether she will also go to Bonn.
 The Bonn trip was arranged at the invitation of West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. This could we'll be the final official meeting of the President and the aging German leader inasmuch as Adenauer is expected to relinquish the Chancellorship fairly soon.
