Strange Things
By HElNIE SNYDER

In the spring of 1922, the railroad section between Wasil- la and Pittman was in bad con- dition. Slow" signs were plac- ed to keep the train on the track. During the winter, the thermometer had dropped to 35 below zero, lifting the track up in such a way that it looked like the hump of a camel.
 A young soldier discharged from the U. s. Army by the name of Pete Corcoran, we'll known in the Wasilla district, and the writer put in some 500 shims. With warmer weather, when pick and shovel could be used, more men were hired to put the track in shape for the summer season.
 Besides Corcoran, a crew of about eight men were hired, upon the recommendation of the postmaster w. w. Wilmoth.
 An old sourdough prospector, Dirty Face" Crocker, who had lived all winter in tent with dirt floor at Mile g on the Will low trail, needed work badly because he had caught little fur on his trap line.
 The section house was divid- ed in two parts, one part for the section foreman and his family and the other for the gang. There was also a wash room with a shower.
 On Sunday, one of the men came to me and said, MT. Snider, l am sent by the gang

THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
The Moon Shot

When the people around Babel gathered to build themselves a tower that would reach to the sky God intervened. The result was what is known as a Babel of tongues. This was the birth of several foreign lan- guages. God is not mocked. In my previous article I said that the excursion to the moon would be extremely costly, and that the lunar nauts would most likely be unable to return to earth. We have gone utterly nuts with our scientific endeavors. We would gain no useful knowl- edge, and we would become the laughing stock of the Russians. It is cheaper to let the Russians try it tn e m- selves. They want to bleed us white, and then they have won the cold war.

Dim View of Welfare State

Congressman Walter NorbIad of Oreeons First District periodically polls his constituents current legislative controversies Tabglation of his latest poll provides interesting food for thought. Among the findings:
 Opinion 10 inc wisdom of federal income fax reduction is nip and tuck with 5 8 per cent saying Yes, and 48.2 per cent saying No
 Sentiment in favor of bringing labor unions under the antitrust laws is overwhelming, with 90 5 per cent in favor of if.
 The proposal that large cities be given federal aid for development of their local transportation systems has less support-935 per of inc respondents swered No.
 Federal aid for school construction and teachers sal aries received No vote Al the lime, majority proved the proposal that parents of college students be permitted 10 claim their tuition. books and other edUca- tjona costs income tax deduction
 One Swallow doesn't make summer, and poll of Congressional district doesn't prove national trend But MT Norbiads findings in consonanee with others eanatng from widespread of this nation To put if simply the American public at large is taking dinner and dinner view of the Welfare State-wth all its and bureaucraces and, more important it's relentless aggression against the liberties and responsibilities of the individual citizen and local government.

Don't Pick Up Live Baby Animals, Game Department Personnel Urge

The Department of Fish and Game this week issued an ap- peal to ask people not to pick up live animals.
 Loren Croxton, regional game supervisor, said that baby moose and other infant animals being picked up by the public are causing an increasing am- ount of difficulty to his agency.
 Croxton pointed out that it is an unusual situation when a baby animal is actually aban- doned by it's mother. Usually the mother is nearby and will return to her offspring as soon

to speak to you about this man, Dirty Face" Crocker. We have been here now for a week and he has never washed his hands or face nor taken bath. He goes to bed with his clothes on and he smells sour. Is he one of those Sourdoughs who takes a bath once a year? We asked him and we told him to take a bath, but to no avail! If this keeps up we'll go back to An chorage."
 70. K.," I said, "I'll see to it that he takes bath"
 So the Frau and I went to small log cabin, where we fill ed tub with warm water, and brought soap and towels. The Frau gave him one of my suits of '1ong-johns' and in no un- certain terms told Dirty Face to wash up-if not, would fire him.
 He took his bath and looked like different man.
 Next morning, he didn't show up for breakfast, stayed in bed and complained of hard breath ing. A freight train going south was taking water, and as there were only one or two trains a week, we put him on it to see a doctor and to go to the hospital.
 The next morning, Dr. J. B. Beeson called me from the hos pital and said, Well, Heinie, you have to hire a new man. MT. Crocker has crossed the great divide"

as the human intruder leaves the area.
 The official wished to stress that in addition to being ex- tremely dangerous to pick up baby moose that it is also illegal to molest, hold or transport ami malls of any species without a permit, and asked that if any one finds a baby animal which he thinks has been abandoned, to call the nearest office of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, but DO NOT PICK UP THE LIVE BABY ANIMAL
