Bringing Alaska to
Readers in U. S.
SEATTLE—More than 10,000
column inches of news and fea
ture stories and pictures provided
by the Alaska Visitors Assn, news
bureau have been published in
stateside papers during the past
few months. That was the finding
last week by Kay J. Kennedy
when she measured up the clip
pings that have been received
since April. Miss Kennedy is op
erating the news bureau.
Miss Kennedy drew attention
to the marked increase in Alaska
stories appearing toy freelance
and staff writers of magazines
which indicate the current rising
interest in the territory.
The June issue of the National
Geographic Society Magazine, de
voted largely to Alaska, has re
sulted in many newspaper stories
about it.
Holiday magazine this month
describes an arctic Alaska tour as
one of three favorite American
tours.
Camp Denali near McKinley
Park is featiyed in the travel sec
tion of July Cosmopolitan. Sports
Illustrated for July 9 carries an
article and some fine color pic
tures of an Alaska polar bear
hunt.
While not directly related to
Alaska travel, Barrett Willough
by's reminiscent article of her
Alaska childhood in the July issue
of Good Housekeeping entitled
“Papa Came C.O.D.", will create
interest in the territory.
Last of 56 Ships Leave
Seattle for Far North
DEW Line Stations
SEATTLE, OP*—'The last four
ships of a 56-vessel military sup
ply mission to the arctic left here
Friday. They are carrying sup
plies and equipment for the Dis
tant Early Warning line radar
stations along a 1,000-mile line
along the northern rim of' Canada
and Alaska.
The slower moving units of the
supply fleet left last Monday.
The ships are heading for a re
gion where treacherous ice fields
will be their enemy. At Point
Barrow and points to the east
across Canada Uie ships must be
prepared to move in and unload
speedily when the shifting ice
gives them a chance.
Last year 52 ships were dam
aged in the supply operation,
mostly by ice.
The cargoes consist mainly of
bulk oil, construction materials
and electronic equipment.

Man Bites Dog Bites Dog
PATERSON, N.J., Ml—It is
scarcely news anymore when a
man bites a dog.
But how about when a man
bites a dog and the dog bites him
right back?
It happened to James McNa

ing on the floor with his cocker
spaniel named Bum and accident
ly bit the pooch on the jar.
Bum turned around and bit
McNamara over the right eye.
McNamara had the wound
cauterized and got tetanus injec
tions at the Paterson Hospital.

tention.

The three leading bidders for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination were increasing the tempo
of election-year blasts at Presi
dent Eisenhower Saturday.
Adlai Stevenson told a Demo
cratic convention in Colorado that
Eisenhower and Agriculture Sec
retary Benson “have watched the
farm depression expand during
the past few years with a philo
sophic calm.”
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennes
see told the same group that
should Eisenhower be re-elected
he would have a “miserable term
in office” because supporters
want him as an election winner
and not as a leader.
Kefauver said “problems of
enormous consequence” have
piled up in the White House dur
ing Eisenhower’s recent illnesses.
He added, "It has been difficult
of late to determine just who in
the administration is making its
top decisions.”
Gov. Averell Harriman of New
York told the Colorado group in
a speech Saturday Eisenhower
has set his sights on “too low” a
goal for future growth of the na
tion’s economy,
Harriman said Eisenhower “and
the men who dominate him just
don’t understand ... an economy
of abundance.”
In Great Bend, Kan., Friday
night Harriman told wheat farm
ers they are the victims of what
he termed Eisenhower’s broken
campaign promises and short
sighted farm policies.
In the first speech of a five
state western tour, Harriman told
Kansas farmers, “You have been
getting less and less for your la
bor every single year Eisenhower
has been President.”
In Roanoke Saturday, Republi
can National Chairman Leonard
Hall predicted Eisenhower would
again carry at least four southern
states in the November election.
In a speech prepared for the
Virginia Republican Convention,
Hall said “It is my deep convic
tion that much of the future
growth and vigor of the national
Republican Party lies in the
southern states.”
THIEF'S FANS ARE HOT’
FRANKFORT, K.v., iifi—A bra
zen thief has two “hot” fans to
help him fight the July heat.
With four persons watching, a
man drove an auto through an
alley Wednesday, snatched two
new electric fans form the load
ing platform of a store and es
caped before any of the onlookers
could stop him.

! Christmas Plans
Being Made at
North Pole Now
NORTH POLE, Alaska, MV-It’s
summer up here, too (86 degrees
last week*, but the folks just can’t
keep their minds off Christmas.
Especially Con Miller, the may
or, postmaster and storekeeper.
Christmas, you see, is the little
village’s year-around industry. It
got its name because of the value
it would have at Christmas time.
Mayor Miller, although a little
young for the job at 42, is the
official Santa Claus of North Pole.
When he isn’t caught in the
Christmas rush, he’s planning it.
Postmaster Miller placed his spe
cial North Pote stamp on 200,000
Christmas letters last year. The
■postmark was solicited from as
far away as Australia.
Santa Miller also answers the
thousands of Christmas letters
from children, with a Christmas
stocking enclosure.
During the Christmas season.
Miller dons a St. Nick garb to
bring cheer to the kiddies in hos
pitals and orphanages of Alaska's
interior.
“You know, it’s kind of funny,”
Miller observed with a grin, “but
after doing this so long I get to
feel as if I am Santa Claus. My
wife is threatening to take fne to
a psychiatrist.”
North Pole is an incorporated
town of some 350 persons about
14 miles from Fairbanks. It has a
school, a cafe, trailer court, two
service stations, two taverns and
a trading post.
