A Matter Of Getting With It
For some unexplainable reason Kodiak has barely budged in
getting to work on the creation of a borough (called counties and
parishes in other states) despite the fact that the law was created
in the 1961 session of the legislature and makes it mandatory that
it be completed by the end of June. 1963.
An earlier meeting on the subject was held but nothing concrete
developed. A second meeting was held last night in the district court
room, and we trust that at that time more was accomplished.
Virtually every sector in the state of Alaska has done more than
has the Kodiak Isiand. Some have had study meetings for months;
others have selected a name for the borough and still others are
ready to vote for the candidates to operate their boroughs—and in
most cases their problems have been more complex than ours will be.
The constitution says that boroughs shall be established in a
manner and according to standards of law. These standards shall
include population, geography, economy, transportation, and other
factors.
Because of our island geography, the population, economy and
transportation factors all blend—something that cannot be said for
the mainland of the state.
Here the problem isn’t too complex. It’s simply a matter of
leadership and settling down to the task. We trust that the initial
steps were taken at last night’s meeting.—B.M.

AMEIGH’S BOOK ON KODIAK
KNUDSEN’S — Where All Kodiak Shops j
-= Kodiak Kapsules —
(By Bill Mason)
We trust we are not stealing
any thunder from "Along tlw
Waterfront” in relating an un
usual experience which we ex
perienced Sunday along the
small boat harbor.
There was a bulge in the
cheek of a youngster about 12
years old who was carrying a
fishing pole along with him.
"What have you got in your
mouth, son?” we inquired.
"Worms,” replied the boy,”
I can’t stand the dirty things in
my pocket.”
* * * *
Thank goodness Kodiak is still
a small town, and a fellow with a
black eye doesn’t have to explain.
Everyone knows already.
* * * *
I)r. Bruce Keers calls to our
attention that Kodiak is drying
up in referring to a front page
story of last week’s Mirror that
Kodiak received one-fourth of
its annual quota of 4.10 inches
last Thursday when 1.25 inches
of rain came tumbling down. We
had intended to say September
quota, but to add insult to in
jury, just before we ran it on
the press we corrected the word
“annual” which had been set as
“annul” on the linotype machine.
To clean the matter off the
slate, we'll just settle on the fact
that it rained last week some
time.

And with three Russian fisher
men receiving medical treatment
at the Naval Base in the past three
weeks, we inquired of the Rev
Donald Bullock if the fishermen
were covered by Blue Cross hos
pitalization.
“Nope,” was the reply. “Over
there, it’s the Red Cross.”
* * * *
Still at the hospital there was
a pretty young Navy nurse be
ing shown through there last
week in her new assignment.
Opening the door to one ward
her nurse companion warned,
These are the most dangerous
cases. They are almost well.”
