Dear Editor:
 What prompts a person to sacrifice independence for sub- jection?
 Such action must require deep consideration to accept, in preference to self-determin- ation and responsibility, the ideals, ambitions, and means of others.
 The cause may lie in two areas; within or without our selves. Since we are best ac- quainted with our own person, examine it first.
 Do we find vision, ambition, hope, ability, means, charity, responsibility, confidence, or the opposite? How do we judge whether the attributes are there or not? How do we know the attributes will prevail if we must use them? Do we adjudge by pointing to accomplishments of the past, by hopes of the future, or what we are doing now? Which shall have prefer ence as to it's position on the balance?
 The negative thinker will distrust any glimmer as a false light. The positive thinker will see light where none exists. Somewhere between, you and I will see little of both. We can see projects that came to naught, projects that are a point of pride, hopes which stir the soul, and gloom to cause despair. We are examining life itself, it seems.
 Science is the study of cause and effect, regardless of the field. Therefore, if we are judg- ing the effect of ourselves We must examine the cause of our selves, and admit that events occur as according to the forces applied. Like cutting a tree; .ontinue to cut and 1t will fall. Stop halfway, and it may fall. Cut not at all, and nothing happens.
 If We say this can't be done, then it is not.
 If we say this is all 1 can do, then it is left unfinished.
 If we say, it shall be done, then it is done.
 We cannot accept more than we are capable of doing; but at the same time, we must be fully aware of our capabilities ana not blame laziness for lack of ability. In the light of truth, we know we cannot do a thing, we must avoid that which we cannot do, less we cause undue hardship on ourselves and others. But, that which we can do a little; or better, that which we know can be done, we must exert our energy to it's fullest for the benefit of ourselves and others.
 Each of us excels in one thing or another, and from this we form societies so that we may benefit as unit from all the best things that can be done to- wards one another. Society prospers or wanes according to the collective effort. Societies can be stirred to great events by leadership; it can be des- troyed by the lack of it. Socie- ties collect towards security, and finding it not in themsel- yes, will look elsewhere.
 So it is with individuals. From childhood to adulthood

Dear Editor:
 NEVER HAVE so MANY BEEN SOLD OUT SO THOR OUGHLY BY so FEW! Ae- cording to the Anchorage Times article by the Boundary Commission the wishes, desires and will of the majority of the people in this district mean ab- solutely nothing. We are to be forced into a borough with An chorage regardless.
 It was quite obvious from the start of the hearing on the Captain Cook Borough that this district had been sold out, and that regardless of what the people here want or how much testimony or facts they pre- sented to the contrary, the decision h Id already been made. Even our own repre- sentative is pulling for this, and this is beyond understand ing.
 For this district to be showed into the same borough with Anchorage is a direct violation of constitutional rights. We can be certain that we will not have representation, only taxes. There is no way whatso- ever for us to be heard. Our one or two assemblymen would be so out voted that they might as we'll stay home. Things have come to a sorry state when the rights of the individual and the wishes of the majority mean nothing.
 Sincerely,
 EARL COMBS

from California. Then

eties. Anjou, Bose
and Comice with supplies
lasting well into the spring.
This year the Bartletts,
our favorites Of all pears,
ran afoul Of the weather.
Prolonged rains In the spring
took their toll. The crop is
expected to be smaller than
d year ago which in turn
ups the price. But they're
still a good buy for the eat
ing pleasure they bring.
Don't be disturbed about
the unfamiliar, russeted skin
on this years fruit. It's the
result Of the cold, wet
weather during the early
stages Of the fruits develop

California ponologist w. II.
Griggs. Russet Is cork tissue
produced by the skin of the
pear and Is natures way Of
protecting the young fruit
from harsh weather condi-
tions. This doesn't affect the
fleshy portion, After the cold
spring, growing conditions
were ideal and as q result the
fruit Is sweeter. more deli
cious than ever, says Mr..
Griggs.
Unlike many fruits, pears
should be picked while still
very firm and green. When
you see green Bartletts in
your market, this does not
mean they are immature.
The picking is carefully con-
trolled so only mature fruit
is shipped.
However, don't eat Bart
let's while they're still green.
Let them ripen at room
temperature In a paper bag.
They'll turn color IN a few
days. After the skins have
turned yellow and the fruit
gives" slightly in your
hands. store the pears in the
refrigerator until ready to
use. Don't hold them too long
or they will lose some Of
their delicate flavor and
texture. If you like, refriger-
ate green-skinned pears q
week or more, then store
them at room temperature to
ripen two or three days be-
fore using.

ripened pear with a wedge
