Great Hypnotist Opens
Two Night Stand Here
Tuesday Evening
For his two hour stage show,
Dr. Nicholas Kit carries a mini
mum of props: one beat-up Agate
Marble—the color of his eyes.
At his shows on Tuesday and
Wednesday night at the School
Auditorium, he will have a stage
full of volunteers reacting to a
bus ride, cleaning fish, fighting
alligators in 140 degree heat, a
trip to Hollywood, meeting Elvis
Presley, giving up smoking, etc.
But' all that is just the power
of suggestion, under hypnosis. He
claims the performance he will
present will be the most pheno
menal and funniest ever seen.
Everyone is invited to come
on the stage and be hypnotized.

have an Alaska State Patrolman
stationed here, it is encouraging to
note that the Nenana brought a
State Patrol car. It is an all-white
Chevrolet station wagon.
There have been several State
Patrolmen here to look over the
job since Sgt. Chappel was as
signed to Fairbanks, but at the
moment it is not known who will
be assigned here.
