Sea Defense
Aids Community
The Navy’s Sea Defense program
as it affects the community of Ko
diak was outlined by Cmdr. Dick
Stacer, in a speech before the Ro
tary Club at its meeting Tuesday
noon at the 49 Room.
In the speech, a classification
talk, emphasis was placed on con
tributions made by military and
those connected with an installa
tion such as the Naval Base on the
school, dubs, churches and the cul
tural programs in the community.
“This is a two-way street,” Sta
cer stated. “Participation of mili

the community is mutually bene
ficial. Each gains from the other.”
High officials and visitors to the
station, he said, also publicize the
community.
A question and answer period
was conducted by Morris “Red”
Burnham on aspects of Rotary In
ternational.
Visitors attending the meeting

Second Anniversary Of Unique
Seventeen-Year Old Navy Ship
October the 14th marks the sec
ond anniversary of the USS KO
DIAK (LSM-161). This ship is of
special interest in that it is the sole
remaining LSM in the U.S. Navy in
commission, out of hundreds built
during World War II.
The ship was built over 17 years
ago and was first commissioned the
U.S.S. LSM-161 on 16 August 1944
at Charleston, South Carolina. Two
i ■1
years ago, on 14 October 1959, the
s.-ip was recommissioned the U.S.S.
KODIAK (LSM-161) while still in
active service. After serving on
both U.S. coasts and in the Pacific
area in WWII and Korea, the ship
was assigned to the 17th Naval
District, in June 1953, making Ko
diak, Alaska, its .homeport.

Today
we painted
some music
It may seem unusual that these young
sters are painting “by ear”... turning
music from the classroom radio into
colorful pictures. But this is the kind
of creativeness the Standard School
Broadcast inspires.
Currently, the program’s theme is
“Music — Passport to the World.”
I Using our listening guide, teachers
relate music to geography, history,
art, folklore, literature.
This helps children gain insight into
the life and culture of the peoples
of the world. It leads to better and
quicker understanding of both the
music and the other studies.
By playing and dramatizing all types
of music—from symphony to jazz,
Thailand dances to Broadway hits,
the program adds a new, delightful
dimension to learning.
We started this program 33 years
ago, never dreaming our listening
family would grow to include 2l/i
million children in classrooms. Now
countless adults, too, have discovered
how entertaining and informative
the broadcasts are at home.
If you’d like to know why the pro
gram has such wide appeal, try tuning
in on Thursdays. We think you wifi
enjoy it, too.
planning ahead to serve you better
