Several Boats Lost
During High Water
The recent heavy rain and subse
quent high water on the Chena riv
er created considerable loss to boat
owners. Several boats tied up at
Steamboat Landing, upper Chena. ■
vanished.
Some of these riverboats were !
valued upwards to $1000 each.
If anyone has found one of these I
craft and will notify Jessen's Week- j
ly the owners will be contacted.
The shoreline between Fairbanks 1
to Steamboat Landing has been !
searched with no results thus far ;
and it is feared the boats may have
floated into the Tanana.

Spine Injury
Doesn’t Keep
Kodiak Lad Down
Mike Naumoff, the Kodiak Is
land youth who was paralyzed in
a shooting accident more than 12
years ago, returned to Kodiak re
cently. He plans to make Kodiak his
home.
Mike’s return is the culmination
of a series of surgical operations,
hospitalizations, attending school
and eventual learning of a trade to
fit him for a life of usefulness.
Naumoff received his 2nd class
radio operators license January 20
of this year. He now has his 1st
class, which entitles him to work
transmitters up to 50.000 watts. This
is no piean achievement for a youth
whom doctors said ' of him, “he
shouldn't be alive."
When Mike was 12 years old, he
lived with his parents at Chief's
Point on Larsen's Bay. While swim
ming one day, his little brother,
aged seven years, accidently shot
a 22 rifle in his direction.
The bullet lodged in his spine,
severing it. That was July 1, 1944.
He was immediately rushed to Grif
fin Memorial Hospital, where he 1
was operated on.
After several months 1n the hos
pital he was taken to the Children's
Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle,
where he remained until, in 1946
He returned to Kodiak Island and
lived with his parents who had
moved to Karluk.
Mike remained at Karluk for 10
months. In 1947, he entered the Mt.
Edgecumbe Hospital. He was a pa
tient there for three years. He also
attended school at Sitka. During
part of 1950 and 1953, he attended
fjheldon Jackson high school.
The ACCA took up his case in
earnest in that year, and ‘‘Operation
Mike" was launched. Funds collect
ed through this drive, which was
carried out in Kodiak and all over
the Island, as well as on the main
land. were matched by the Territory
on a 3 to 1 basis. Mike then went
to California, where he received
specialized medical treatment for
10 months.
Following that he entered a trade
school in Tacoma, where he re
mained for two years. learning the
ABCs of radio. On completing the
course, and receiving his 1st class
license. Naumoff returned to Kodi
ak.
He is. of course, confined to a -
wheel chair, but despite his handi- ,
cap. he is blight and cheerful. He
is alert mentally, and hopes event
ually to master the intricacies of ■
television and radar
Charles Krischano of Kotzebue
was admitted to St, Joseph's hos
pital on Saturday for medical at- |
tention. He is shop foreman^for
