Checking Stations
Report Hunters Had
Good Success Ratio

Montana hunters during the
past week have reported good
luck in bagging deer and elk.
As the season has progressed,
more snow has fallen at higher
elevations, and deer have begun
their annual rutting season. Both
of these factors have been i'm
portant in increasing the hunter
success around the state.
With the end of Montana's gen.
eral big game season, Treasure
State nimrods brought to a close
a good year of hunting. In most
cases, hunters were successful
in providing game meat for their
lockers.

Mrs. Doris Simon, manager of the local state employment office, spent two days this week inter- viewing Kodiak High School sen iors. The interviews are made to assist graduates in finding jobs after school lets out May 23rd (about one month away now).

 She drew attention to the fact school will be over four weeks from now and urged high school students seeking summer vacation work to register with the local of flee located next to PIMA offices.

Letter to the Editor
LETTER OF APPRECIATION

To the Kodiak Volunteer Fire Department and to the many others who so ably assisted us at the time of our fire on April b, we wish to extend our sincere ap- preciation. Had the help not come we would surely have lost McWhin- nie Cottage. The fire was so hot that the white paint was scorched. Only the spraying of water kept the largest of the three cottages from going up in flames.
 The fire department men kept the fire contained to the one build ing while the Mission Meat Shack stood within 12 feet of it. One of Kodiak's 21-year residents said he has watched our firemen for this period of time and not once to his knowledge has a fire gotten to a second building when the firemen were there. This is surely a com- mendable record.

 Requests for aid under the Fed eral Aid to Airports Program have been submitted 0 the Federal Avi- ation Agency for nine airport prof ects throughout the state. Kodiak was not among the nine.
 The requests cover anticipated federal participation in work at the following locations (total prof ect cost are indicated and include both federal and state funds in a ratio of 371a per cent provided by the State to 621s per cent provided by the federal government):
 Fairbanks International $498,- GOO; Anchorage International $62O, ,OOO; Dillingham;, $85O, 1000; Gambell, 5000; Homer, $05,0oo; Mccarthy, $136,0OO; Noatak, ESQ., GOO; Seward, $250,O00; Sitka, $2,- 100000.
Kodiak mirror., 1963-04-19

We want to thank those who have called in to offer assistance and to express concern over our losses, as well as to rejoice that no one was lost or hurt. We are ex- treme1y grateful to God that the wind conditions during those early morning hours could have hardly been more favorable for us in this situation.
 We want to thank those who have offered us transportation help. As you know, we lost most of our ve- hicles.
 I don't know how any fire de- partment could have responded any sooner or gotten out here to the fire any quicker. Kodiak can have a real sense of security and a feel ing of pride in it's men and equip ment who volunteer vital civic service to their community. The

TEXT OF PROCLAMATION
Day of Mourning Set

President Johnson issued the following proclamation
to the people OF the United States:
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, S5th President Of the
United States has been taken from by act which
outrages decent men everywhere.
He upheld the faith of fathers, which is freedom
for all He broadened the frontiers Of that faith,
and backed it with the energy and the courage which
are the mark of the Nation he led
of wisdom, strength and peace, he moulded
and moved the power of Nation in tn service of
world of growing liberty and order All who love freedom
will mourn his death.
As he did not shrink from his responsibilities, but
welcomed them. so he would not have us shrink from
carrying on his work beyond this hour Of national
tragedy.
He said it himself 1.-THE energy, the faith, the
devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light
country and all who the glow from the fire
can truly light the world"
Now therefore, l. Lyndon B. johnson, President Of
the United States of America do appoint Monday next
November U.s. the day Of the funeral service Of President
Kennedy to be national day Of mourning throughout
the United States I earnestly recommend the people
to assemble on that dayn their respective places Of
divine worship there to bow down in submission to the
will of Almighty God, and to pay their homage Of
love and reverence to the memory Of the great and
good man.
invite the people of the world who share our
grief to join in this day of mourning and rededica
ton
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States of America to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this twenty-thrd
day of November in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen
Hundred and Sixty Three and of the independence OF
the United States of America, the One Hundred and
Eighty-eighth.

Space Aims Seen Unchanged

While thinking big about space.
the council staff insiste d in
thinking small in bureaucratic
terms. Only about 20 people
work under DR.. Welsh.
The Johnson-organized coun-
ell staff prepared the studies
which the Vice President used
TO persuade President Kennedy
in the spring Of 1861 that a
manned lunar landing should
be undertaken before the dec
ade is out"
In both public and private
talks the new President repeat
edly had evinced his enthusi-
asm for the space program and
his grasp Of the far-reaching
ramifications involved.
In the fall Of 1861, this
reporter toured the West and
South with the then Vice Pres
-ident in his role as Space
Council chairman. For many
hours between stops we sat in
the cabin of the big presiden-
tial Jet and talked space. On
this topic-and there can be no
doubt about it-Mr. johnson
does his homework and knows
his subject.
4 On a few occasions, Mr.,
johnson appeared to have been
carried away by his space fer
vor. at times clearly overstatine
the benefits accruing to the
n ational economy from the
large expenditures Of the space
effort. Lately, however-at the
urging Of his aides-he had
moderated his claims, without
in any way muting his enthusi-
asm.
In recent weeks Mr.. johnson
and his Space Council staff
had been busy working over
the fiscal 1865 space budget. Il
is understood that he was
planning to ask Mr.. Kennedy
for SIS billion, a little les:
than was requested this year
but somewhat more than was
appropriated.
AS the man with the say-sC
now. Mr.. Johnson's approval Of
this figure is hardly open tC
doubt.
One subject which is open tt
speculation is how the new
! President will respond to tn,
; Air Forces unceasing demand
for a larger manned role IL

Rainy Days Good
For Selling Insurance

NEW YORK (AP)-An insu-
rance actuary here says the
man of average in stincts is
more likely to buy life insur-
ance on a rainy, dreary day
than when skies are blue.
Since a study of insurance
records shows that the ratio of
sales to calls mounts on foul
weather days, says John s.
Thompson, jr., many insurance
statesmen call on their hard
est-to-convince prospects on
gloomy days.
