How v*3 progress. Remember the
<days when you pored over a trains
timetable, trying to figure out
when the train was supposed to get
to a certain place. Tfcon later, the
airplane—-when no timetable was
necessary, but the simple static,
men! of tin>3 of arrival. We now
have a new timetable that reads
like this: ‘‘.Yakutsk • at 0025;
Prague, 0149; Riga, 0151; Moscow,
0152; Oslo, 0327; Halifax, 0752; De

«out of the fiction ipagaziroe comes
the realistic fact that, a man-made

When we ^taijted, this Column,
the typewriter punched oqt the
heading '‘Here, Therte and Every
whei#’^—we have .extended our
field of reporting. While Milwau
kee was so steeped m its "first
world series, the Milwaukee Senti
nel blared forth the news “Today
make history” on the front
page, and referring to series,
With the story of the e irr ^
launching of a satellite j *ated
to the second ‘7-age, and with
pieople everywhere more concern
ed with football games, the Little
Hock incident, Asiatic flu, the
world series, this Russian accom
plishment has gone by not unno
ticed, but certainly not, totally
evaluated. America has spent $100
million on the same project. The
““beep ... beep.. beep.. *’ of < this
space-conquering object is a fore
runner of things to come, of
course—lucky are those who have
their years ahead to see them.
They may be fearsome and awful,
but they will be interesting.
The new council is swom-in. Its
tenure in office should prove inter
esting. It is comprised of men with
fairly divergent opinions, and is
more representative of the Kodiak
area. Certainly they are not a
group of “yes-men”. We wish them
*ucess in brewing up a good pot of
civic issues that will make good
fare for Kodiak.

iA group of friends gathered at
tile Town Club last Sunday night
Jojr a buffet style dinner
by this popular club, as a testimo
nial of appreciation to 0--j Johnson
nnd his wife, after the former’s
three years service to the city as
mayor. Ho was given a beautiful
wrist watch. Ole can be assured his
service was appreciated by many
moVe people than those present at
the dinner—in fact, by all resi
dents of Kodiak.
