Nuclear Ship Savannah
Will Come To Alaska
After It Is Completed
JUNEAU, UP!—■ Ralph E. Wilson,
chief of the Federal Maritime Ad
ministration, has accepted a state
invitation to bring the nuclear
powered merchant ship Savannah
to Alaska, Gov. Egan said yes
terday.
The Savannah is now under
construction and is scheduled for
is initial shakedown cruises next
year.
Because of the experimental
nature of the ship, Wilson said, it
was not possible to establish any
calling schedule at the present
time, but he added in a letter to
Egan:
“We are happy to accept your
invitation and we shall plan on
availing ourselves of the hospital
ity of your north country at some
future date ...”
Egan had invited Wilson to
schedule Alaska stops on the Sa
vannah’s shakedown trips because
the Alaska coastline is “particu
larly adaptable, by reason of the
difficult conditions of supply
which prevail,” to future use of
nuclear - powered merchant ves
sels which would not require fre
quent refueling.
BOYS SCOUTS WILL
"GET OUT THE VOTE"
The Boy Scouts are conducting
a “Get Out The Vote” campaign
and have circulated reminders in
the shape of bells and hung them
on doorbells to remind Alaskans
that they should vote 100 per cent
since this is the first time that
many will be voting- for Presi
dent.
Almanac Forecasts
Uncannily Correct
DUBLIN, N.H., UFI — The Old
Farmer’s Almanac has appeared
in its 169th edition, predicting that
1961 will be “On the whole, a
good year for almost any enter
prise.” Some of its forecasts in
the past have been uncannily ac
curate.
More than a million copies are
spreading across the nation from
a tidy, red, two-story building
here, and the desk of editor Robb
Sagendorph, a tall, lean Yankee.
The format is identical with
18th century almanacs, and most
of the material is folksy, but that
doesn’t make Sagendorph a char
acter.
He’s a graduate of Harvard
College (1922', town moderator of
Dublin, editor and publisher of
Yankee Magazinne (circulation
70,000), and a serious student of
almanacs. He’s 59.
His name doesn’t appear in the
Old Farmer’s because of a tradi
tion. In 1666 two Almanac pub
lishers predicted that London
would burn that year. On Sept.
2, it did burn disastrously.
The two Almanac publishers
were charged with having been
incendiaries and both were
hanged.
Sagendorph himself is troubled
by the fact that his I960 Almanac
predicted Hurricane Donna with
startling exactitude: “Forgive,
please, while rainy gales teare,”
he predicted for Sept. 8-13.
The storm struck New York on
Sept. 12.

All Bets Off In Nevada
Due to Forgotten 1919 Law
CARSON CITY, Nev., UPI—News
of a forgotten state law against
election bets has thrown Nevada
bookmakers into confusion—and
stopped wagers on the presiden
tial race.
The biggest question: What to
do with all the money already
bet on Democrat John F. Ken
nedy and Republican Richard M.
Nixon.
Bookies had been doing a thriv
ing business on the race for Pre
sident.
But while Nevada has legalized
just about all forms of gambling,
a 1919 law bans any type of bet
on any election.
“I quit!” was the response of
a Reno odds-maker. He promptly
pulled down all signs quoting
election odds.
In Las Vegas, all eight race
bookies erased their odds before
a news story about the forgotten
law hit the streets.
Bookies disagreed on what to
do with the bets they hold.
“We’re going to pay the win
ners and collect from the losers,”
one said. “That’s the only way
to do it.”
No one seemed to know how
much money was involved.
As the bookies closed election
operations, the odds were still
8 to 5 for Kennedy and 6 to 5 for
Nixon.
Tom Derringlon Buried Yesterday
Tom Derrington, taxi-cab driv
er and local mechanic, was laid to
rest from the Lutheran Church
yesterday and buried at the Bel
mont Point Cemetery. He is sur
vived by his wife, Nancy.
