House Divided

Abraham Lincoln said, "a
house divided against itself
cannot stand" Neither, say we,
can the Montgomery County
Board of Education.
We who join in this public
appeal for a renewed spirit of
unity-have as former presi-
dents of the Allied Civic Group
and the Montgomery County
Civic Federation-individually
followed closely the course of
our county government, includ-
ing our public school system,
for over a decade. We have
seen a slowly marching parade
of board members come and
go, each making his own con-
tribution to the steady prog
ress of our public schools.
Regardless of the varying
points of view represented on
previous school boards, no one
has, to our knowledge, ever
seriously challenged the per-
sonal integrity of the dedicated
men and women who COM
prised these earlier boards and
who contributed literally of
their personal lives to this i'm
portant task.
We believe that all seven
members of the present school
board, including its four new
est members, are likewise de-
Dictated public servants, each
of whom desires to add a
significant contribution to the
structure inherited from pre-
decesSors.
1t is with the deepest con-
Germ, therefore, that we view
the actions of some individuals
and groups, the effect of which
has been to intensity a schism
which apparently exists within
the boards present member.
ship. Some of this action was
begun even before the ink was
dry on the oaths of office of
the newly elected members. 1t
continues persistently, as evil
denced by the highly deroga-
tory statements concerning the
present board expressed at a
recent meeting of County
civic leaders" which consider
ed, among other things, the
need for a war chest to "Save
Our Schools"
We believe the real need at
this time Is for a breathing
period" to provide an opportu-
unity for the new members to
comprehend the problems of a
large and still growing school
system. Such a period would
also provide an opportunity for
board memberS-both old and
new-and their staff to ex-
plore together these complex
problems.
Progress on the long road
to social gains is always mark
ed by the effective and work.
able compromises that can be
found to reconcile the differ
ing views of reasonable men.
True, there must always be
room for honest differences
among honorable associates"
Such differences, however,
should not become so en-
trenched by the tanning of
divisive flames that the pos
sibility of fruitful discussion
and compromise is lost in the
furry of charge and counter
charge. We think the present
atmosphere surrounding our
school board activities is
fraught with real danger for
the long-range best interests
of our schools

The following statement was given to the Mirror by City At torney Roy Madsen and is quoted in it's entirety:
 On returning to Kodiak on Tuesday after an eight day absence, I read with indignation, certain statements attributed to me by your paper which were deliberate ly misleading. Since it appears that a statement made by me was de- liberately and Historically used to build story" I wish to make the following statement by way of clarification. s.s
 FIRST: I did state, and it is my opinion, that a person who cannot qualify as a candidate for City election, would not be in anyway enabled to qualify by write-in on ballots.
 SECOND: The declaration of candidacy required by Alaska law requires the candidate to state that he has been a resident of the City for at least ONE year next pre-

 He told of Russian trawling fleets showing up in several tra- ditional pot grounds since last weekend on the south end of Kodiak Island
 Due to stormy conditions our fishermen have not yet been able to inventory their gear losses. We will have more information when they are able to get more accur- ate assessment of their losses" " Simon said.

Kodiak fishermen may soon start shooting at Russian trawlers.
 We are in grave danger of a terrible incident on the Kodiak crab grounds,"~ warned ADF&G Western Regional Supervisor Bob Simon, as he described the reac- tion of local fishermen to the re- turn of Russian trawlers into tra- ditional king grabbing areas of Kodiak fishermen before the cham Der of commerce Thursday noon.
 Simon told the chamber that one of two things may shortly happen in the present tense situation caused by Russian trawlers de stroying American crab pot gear.

Apex On Beach Two Rescued From Stricken Vessel

The crab fisher Apex, about a 5O-foot vessel, went on the beach about two miles west of Cape Sitki- nak Tuesday afternoon and is be- lieved to be a total loss.
 Skipper Paul Moreno and crew. man Allan Vincent were aboard the stricken vessel but were re- moved safely Wednesday afternoon by a small boat from the vessel Neptune. Both the Apex and Nep- tune are owned by Norman Holm.
 According to reports given Bill Damery, marine surveyor, the tail shaft coupling on the Apex broke on Tuesday afternoon. She was anchored off Sitkinak Island but the anchor gave way and she went LID on the beach. She was unable te call for assistance due to the fact her radio was out.
 The Coast Guard spotted her on the beach about 4 pm. Wednes- day afternoon and called the near by Neptune to give assistance.

City voters, as they go to me polls on Tuesday, will find the tra- ditional spaces for write in votes on their ballots 7. despite plans by the city clerk to alter the ballot so as to eliminate the write-in features.
 Alaska State Attorney General George N. Hayes, in response to a wire from State Representative Gil Jarvela early this week wired simp- ly: "State statutes do not prohibit write in voting for municipal cleo tions.'
 Two candidates are listed on the ballot for the office of mayor. They are Wally Nelson and Pete Deveau. A campaign is being carried on to get Ed Naughton elected mayor by means of write in votes.
 For the two Swear council seats four candidates are listed. They are Dave Fremming, Fred Brechan, Wilton White and Dewitt Fields.
 Seeking the two yearicouncil seat are Oscar Dyson and Carl Rodli.

Kodiak Island voters voted in fa- vor of incorporating a second class borough and at the same time elect ed as chairman the candidate who opposed the incorporation.
 Chuck Powell, who opposed the borough incorporation holds a 42 vote lead with two precincts still to be reported. However, most ob- servers consider it unlikely that the voting from the two remaining precincts will appreciably change the final figures in the chairman ship race.
 With at least two precincts still unreported (Afognak and Larsen Bay) it appears that Kodiak Island voters approved incorporation of a second class borough by a mar gin of II votes. The total vote 50 far is 273 Yes and POP No.

 Pete Deveau stated he was run ming for mayor as a tool to get something done He spoke of his record of accomplishments to date including his small marine aquar- ium and swimming pool. He said he would, as mayor, carry on strong protests against the Russians and said he favored sale of revenue bonds in order to get something done about the roads.
