Khrushchev Sends
Kennedy a Dog
WASHINGTON UP> — President
Kennedy has received a dog
named Pushinka from Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
Pushinka, a white fluffy pup
with brownish spots, is of no par
ticular breed. But she has a cele
brated mother — Strelka, whom
the Soviets put in orbit around
the earth and recovered last
August.
Kennedy got another gift from i
the Soviet leader, a model of an
American whaler carved from a
walrus tusk by a Russian crafts
man.
Kennedy had given Khrushchev
a ship model at their Vienna talks
—a model of the USS Constitu
tion, “Old Ironsides.”
Why do hens brag so much
about laying one little old egg a
day? A 7-pound codfish can pro
duce 7 million eggs at a time.

RUSSIAN MISSION TO
HAVE POST OFFICE
Sen. Lester Bronson has re
ceived word from Washington that
Russian Mission will have a post
office. This area of Alaska has
had extremely poor service due
to scattered population and the
people living there have had to
travel as far as 60 miles to get
their parcel post.
Sen. Bronson feels gratified that
his efforts in the behalf of the
people of Russian Mission have
borne fruit. “It is a small step
toward development there, but
every little bit helps,” he said.
