Alaskan Flags Adorn Homes of
Minn. Gov. & Oemo Party Chairman
Two Alaskan flags have found
new' homes where their beauty is
displayed, and were put there
through the efforts of Democrats
here and the designer of the flag,
Benny Benson.
When Mrs. Helen Fischer, Dem
ocratic National committeewoman
for Alaska, visited Washington
recently, she carried them with
her to Paul Butler, chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, and Governor Orville Free
man of Minnesota. Minnesota is
Mrs. Fischer’s home state. She
stated Kodiak was well in the
news both in Washington, D. C.
and Minnesota.
Mrs. Fischer went east to at
tend the National Committee
meeting held recently in the
nation’s capitol. She sought pri
marily to gain support for legisla
tion in the 86th Congress that will
enable Alaska to rid itself of
present discriminatory laws.
The Committee adopted the fol
lowing seven point program,
which is designed to give “speci
fic assistance to the new State of
Alaska,” and is seeking an early
enactment of these seven points:
1. A program of development of
hydroelectric and other public
power within the State. 2. Reen
j actment of the Airport Construc
tion Act vetoed by the President
during 85th Congress. 3. Libera
lization of laws affecting the
public domain to promote speedy
settlement. 4. Legislation design
ed to promote rapid development

STREET MANNERS FOR DOGS
By Bob Bartos
Prominent Dog Authority
Every dog that lives in the
city or suburbs must have street
manners. He must learn not to
make passes at pedestrians.
Strange as it seems, there are
people who don’t care for dogs
i*td they have taxpayer’s rights
to walk the streets untouched
by overly friendly or curious
pooches. A city dog must learn
not to cross in front of people,
including you, and trip them up.
He must learn not to get wound
around lamp posts when on
lead. In other words, he must
learn to heel. According to the
Emily Posts of dogdom, this
means walking on the owner’s
left side, with head in line with
the owner’s body.
Training for this should begin
in the house or back yard, ,as
the street offers too many dis
v i
tractions. Walk with the dog on
the leash several times a day.
Hold him on a short leash close
to your loft side. When he’s
where he belongs, say “Heel,’*
and slacken the leash. If he
pulls ahead or falls behind,
bring him back into position
with a sharp jerk on the lead
and say “Heel.” It’s a matter of
repeating the command and ac
tion until it becomes automatic.
Start this street training when
a puppy is five to seven months
old, the age being dependent on
the disposition and develop
ment of the puppy.
