Sometimes it pays to be a good listner and then at other
times yo1 can put in your two cents worth and make a point.
Well f»t this particular time I started the argument and then
became an avid listner.
“How come the National Guard (a unit has recen'lv been
organized here in Kodiak) will allow young men in high school
to join the unit and then take them out of school for a two
tveek period and send them over to Fort Rich for training?”
The first answer to pop back was’ “What about these two
week basketball tournament trips they go on every spring.
Arethay any different?”
The only obvious answer to that question is I guess not. The
boy is still out of school and missiug two weeks work which un
doubtedly will never be made up. The final outcome could be
the lad flunking his final exam in some one subject and cause
him to be a hold over in the next lower class.
However there is one argument in favor of the basketbal
Cournement that doesn’t apply to the National Guard; to play
basketball that boy has to maintain a certain average in his
studies to make the team while the National Guard takes any
body that can pass the physical examination.
By my way of thinking, and I’ve taught school and know a
tittle about the situation, there are three classes of highschool
boys,your A student,who never gives one any cause for alarm;
the average student who is just that, could lean either way &
the below average student, the retarted student, usually older
than the rest of the boys in his class. Lets handle each one
separately.
Number one student or athlete is always a welcome mem
ber on any team or in any classroom. He can think for himself,
and act without to much thought, he prepares his lessons,
shoots well, and all in all is an asset to his team mates or his
class room follow members. This lad could join the Guard and
both would benefit.
Now;number two. This lad could benefit himself and the
Guard or be an absolute detriment to both dependent on his

Three years ago the City 0
fficials of Kodiak felt it would
be a definite asset to the gen
eral welfare of Kodiak to join
and take part in an organiza
tion called the League of A
laskan Cities.
From all indications the
League has been very sucess
ful. and ,as they reflect the o
pinions of many cities in A
laska, pertaining to legislation
it gives every city, regardless
of size, excellent representation
at the Territorial Legislature,
at a very nominal cost.
At the open special session
of your City Council, held on
Wednesday evening, the bul
letin prepared by the League,
devoted to Federal and Territ
orial Legislation affecting cities
of Alaska only, was read and
opinions given on each issue.
Tnese opinions go to the con
vention of the League which
will be held at Fairbanks on
the 4th, 5th and 6th of Novem
ber, to be combined with the
opinions of other cities in the
Territory, to aid in making up
a sound and justified munici
f’ pahty program to be placed
bef >re the next Legislature.
When the final program is j
finished and rpady for opera
tion. we will bring to light and
explain the main is3uesthatj
may have a definite affect on
the citizens of Kodiak.

interest in each.
Number three is in school because an out model law says he
must attend until a certain age or he can’t find work or does
not want to work. He would make an excellent Guardsman.
In summary; It is a good thing it takes all kinds of people
to make this universe. Everyone can’t join the National Guard
and everyone isn’t a basketball player
But why doesn’t the National Guard let the boys that are
in HighSchool eont:nue with their education and not interfere
with the schools program?Whats the matter with t e ex GI’s?
Many of them don’t want to join. WHY?
