Santa Remember Six
Native Villages
Santa arrived a bit early this
Christmas for nearly 400 children
of six remote Alaskan villages.
It wasn’t that the jolly old boy
was in a hurry to get his holiday
chores done but simply that he
was being assisted by some 2000
Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard
helpers at the Kodiak Naval Sta
tion.
Navy and Coast Guard patrol
planes “air dropped” by para
chute nearly a ton of gifts which
had been donated to the native
childrenjjv Kodiak military per
sonnel and their families.
The gifts, each one attractive
ly wrapped and individually pre
pared, consisted of clothing, toys,
fruits, nuts and Christmas candy,
and were dropped to the children
from low-flying planes based at
Kodiak. Six villages and missions
were visited on the flights. They
They were Alitak, Old Harbor,
Kaguyak, Ouzinski, Karluk, and
Larsep’s Bay.
To the native children of these
isolated villages Santa Claus is
known as “Dyed Moroz” which
translated means Grandfather
Frost. To many of them this was
the only Santa Claus that re
membered them this Christmas.
Soon after the New Year rolls
around the thank you notes ad
dressed to Santa will start com
ing in. The warmth and senti
ment of these letters will be
priceless to those Kokiak-based
military personnel who partici
pated in the “air drop”.
Word has been received that
Art Marsh of Palmer, wintering
in Washington, was taken ill and
is a patient in the Spokane hos
; pital.
