NO RABBIT FOR DINNER
SAL1NA, Kansas, OP — On his
wife’s birthday for 29 years A.E.
Bishop has killed a wild rabbit
for her dinner.
This year, he reported in dis
gust, he couldn’t find one to kill.
Bishop doesn’t shoot his game.
He says he “just snoops around
the farm” until he sees a rabbit,
gets as close as he can, then
pitches a hammer at it.
Mrs. Bishop shared his disgust
this year. “I’m just crazy about
rabbit," she said, “and he always
got me one before.”
p FAIRBANKS, (A — An attempt
to insert a “right to work” clause
in the future state of Alaska’s
constitution was overwhelmingly
defeated by delegates to the con
stitutional convention Friday,
47-4.
R. E. Robertson, of Juneau, pro
posed to add this sentence to the
bill of rights article:
“Every person shall have the
right to work for the gaining of
his livelihood.”
“There have been cases in Ju
neau where labor unions have
tried to keep people from work
ing on their own houses,” Robert
son said. “Sixteen states have con
stitutional provisions for the
“right to work.”
Maynard Londborg of Unala
kleet gave the Juneau delegate
support, citing the case of a con
struction company which im
ported its own help for a project
in Unalakleet.
“The natives were not hired
mostly because they were not
union members,” Londborg saicf.
John Hellenthal of Anchorage
said Robertson’s proposal would
destroy collective bargaining, add
ing “this is a device aimed at
breaking up unions.”
Delegates held a long debate
over this bill of rights spction:
“There shall be no imprisonment,
for debt, except in cases where
there is a strong presumption cf
fraud.” The delegates voted, 37 to
14, to qualify it instead with the
phrase: “Except in case of ab
sconding debtors.”
In an overhauling mood, the
delegates even changed the pre
amble submitted by the bill of
rights committee. The preamble
adopted by the convention reads:
"We the people of Alaska, con
scious of our heritage of political,
civil and religious liberty, grate
ful to God and to those who
founded the nation and pioneered
this great land, reaffirm our be
lief in government by consent of
the governed within the union of
states and do ordain and establish
this constitution for the state cf
Alaska.”
There was a slight argument
over reference to God in the pre
amble. Barrie White of Anchor
age, emphasizing that he is not
an athiest, said reference to God
is not consistent with Section 5 of
the bill of rights. This section af
firms that no law shall be made
respecting an establishment of re
ligion or prohibiting the free ex
ercise thereof.

Why is it forever the rule
To call him who laughs lightly,
a fool;
When the silent tortured souls
that connive,
Never survive!

Anti-Freeze Used
To Keep Gas Well
Going in Sub Zero
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C., W —
Thousands of gallons of anti
freeze liquid will be poured down
a “guineau pig” gas well by Pa
cific Petroleums in an attempt to
find a way to keep wells- flow
ing in sub-zero weather.
Crews have been working day
and night during the current cold
spell of 25 below zero on the No.
4 well along the Alaska Highway
near here, drawing off liquid mud
and burning off millions of feet
of feet of natural gas daily.
When the 6,300-foot well has
been cleaned out, several thou
sand gallons of ethylene glycol
will be dumped into it, said com
pany officials.
No. 4 well is the largest of a
field of 70 wells from which West
Coast Transmission Co. will draw
a supply for its proposed pipe
line to Vancouver.
Engineers say when the tem
perature drops below zero, tech
nical problems appear in produc
tion of Peace River gas which
contains a high percentage of
liquid carbon.
Similar problems are not en
countered in the gas fields of
Texas, Oklahoma or elsewhere on
the continent, said engineers.
