Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor and Staff:


 Shakespeare said of newspapers: "They are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time, to show vir- tue her own image; scorn her own features; and the very age and body of the time, his form and pressure"
 When you took over our weekly gazette I too noticed a change in the attitude of the town. The once passive city was finally being awakened to see the true image of the monster, apathy! Before there was an appalling apathy toward what happened in many corners of the city. The lack of civic interest was unbelievable! An isolated is land lies on the Boring Sea with population of about 300 people who fight for what they think is right; so to find a city with a population of over 5000 not caring one iota about who ran their government, and what happened to friends, rel atives and even their children was indeed appalling. I still shudder to think especially of some chil- dren of Kodiak whose lives may be permanently ruined because of this apathy. Two of them were sent away like criminals. knew one of them personally and I liked the boy. It did not take me long to see that this boy needed help. I talked with him very seriously about the importance of obeying rules and regulations. In my presence he was g e n t l m n. He desperately wanted to show me that he was not all bad, and I tried to show him that I knew that there was lot of good in him. Then I did not see him for quite while, so I asked his brother one day fearing the worst. The brother said, "He is in jail in Anchorage, and that is where he belongs"
 This brother used to beat my lit tie friend so when I heard him utter these words I had to control myself for he was one reason why his brother was in jail. I thought of making move to help my friend, but felt helpless in a city where one could not find one quail flied person who had the intelli- gence and the power to help this boy. He is now on a farm and I do hope he will find happiness there. I must get in touch with him soon. I had the privilege to know personally prominent people in various fields pertaining to the welfare and happiness of children. Through these contacts I learned that bad child is an unhappy child. With the right kind of guid- ance, with love and understanding. the most undisciplined child can be taught to become a good future citizen. On the whole, considering the very recent apathy to the wei fare of the children of this city. I believe we have here a bunch os wonderful children.
 Here is hoping the city will con- tinue to change its attitude and awaken to the fact that silence can

be crippling toward building a sound and healthy community. In closing I give you these words of Bacon: ''He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils"
 Sincerely,
 Mrs. Joseph A. Lekanoff

No progress has been effected as yet insofar as settlement of con tract between fishermen and can nerieS is concerned.
 T met with Kadiak Fisheries General Superintendent C huck Turner last week and we discussed the general situation and compared figures" said Lloyd Cannon, preSi dent of the United fishermen's Marketing Association, adding, "but we didn't go into details on fish prices and as yet I would only be able to say that things remain much the same as they were the week before The fishermen have been ready and willing to negoti- ate for the past three weeks
 Cannon said that the matter of limit had been brought up and it was suggested that the contract contain provisions under which the fish limit per man per day be regu- lated by the contract should the need arise to put fishermen under a limit as happened with all can neries excepting one, which ac- cepted all fish caught by their fishermen during all but two days of the entire season last year.
 Cannon intimated that the fisher men will also ask for a season guar antee similar to that the canneries give in their contract arrangements with machinists and other cannery workers brought up from Outside.
 Some of our boys feel that there should be a similar contract ar rangement for fishermen who in some years not only do not make any money but actually go into the hole for the season." Cannon said.
 We definitely will not fish for any cannery that does not sign contract this year." he stated
 The marketing association's ne gotiating committee has suggested to Chuck Turner, general superin- tendent of Kadiak Fisheries, that the fishermen would consider ac- cepting last years prices on a per fish basis, not on a per pound ba-
