Mario Lanza Gives Private
Concert To Calm Critics
Of Recent ‘Canned’ Show
HOLLYWOOD, OPI—.Mario Lan
za in a private concert to calm
the critics has shown all his old
vocal power and promised that
all future TV appearance will be
live.
“I may even stick my finger
down my throat during a couple
of numbers to' let the public know
that there are no recordings,” the
tenor added yesterday after sing
ing arias from “Pagliacci” and
the inevitable “Be My Love” for
assembled newsmen.
Why were two-year-old record
ings dubbed in on his TV debut
last Thursday? Because of all
those medical tests, said Lanza,
while he was taking off 40 pounds
in six weeks.

AN OPEN LETTER
Nome, Alaska
October 5, 1954
Mr. Dewey Goodrich, Manager
Northern Commercial Co.
Nome, Alaska
Dear Sir:
I have just come homo from a
funeral service for Ed Delilak.
Understanding that under your
management the firm was closed
for over an hour, and seeing most
of the employees of the Northern
Commercial Co. were at the ser
vice, I cannot help but feel it was
very thoughtful and well of you
to do as you did. Having known
Ed ten years and more, I was not
altogether surprised. A young
man as he was deserved some
consideration, and the packed
church this morning can best ex
press the sentiment of his many
friends.
This note to you is prompted
because of the feeling I have Of
your sympathetic attitude on this
particular occasion. Being a native i
myself, and a deep sense of re
spect being shown to another of
my race who is now departed, I
believe I can be sure in speaking
for .the native populace of Nome
that we appreciate your move in
permitting the shop to be closed
in respect of Ed Delilak. We know
this was one of the few times
when a large establishment was
closed during a funeral service
for a native living in Nome. The
store has lost a faithful servant.
However, by your considerate
move, I trust that store has gained
many friends.
Yours truly,
Percy Ipalook

GENERAL ELECTION
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1954
Let’s Look At The Record
Republicans Claim:- “Increased appropriations and authorization j
allowance for the aged and the blind.”
THE FACTS:- Senate Bill No. 7 by Nolan (D) and Butrovich (R),
set the Old Age Pension at $100 per month. The House cut I
this amount to $90. Here is the vote: Yes—Boardman, Bullock,
Hendrickson, Johnson, Locken, McKinley, Olsen, Rutherford,
Snodgrass, Stringer, Wilbur, and Miskovitch, all Republicans.
No—Duffield, Fagerstrom, Gruel, and Kay, the four House
Democrats; and McSpadden, Pollock, Prior, and Rentschler,
Republicans.
Republicans Claim:- “Increased Aid to the Blind.”
THE FACTS:- Due to lack of sufficient appropriation by the Re
publican controlled 1953 Legislature the aid to blind (pensions)
had to be cut 20 per cent a few months after the Legislature
adjourned, and there was 6 and a half million dollars surplus
in the Territorial Treasury at the time.
