Deadlines Given
Xmas Mailing
With the Tatalina this week as
the last direct boat to Seattle that
will get bofjt parcel post and cards
to Seattle on time, the final dead
lines for the mailing of parcels
cards from Kcdiak via Seward
were announced today by Acting
Postmaster William Lamrae.
Surface Christmas parcels and
first class Christmas cards must
be mailed by Dec. 1 for assured
arrival in time for the Middle
West and East coast. For the West
coast only, the same, type mail
should arrive in time if dispatched
from Kodiak Iby Dec. 7. After those
dates airmail should be used, the
postmaster said.
Mailing labels for Christmas
cards, marked “local” and “out of
town” were placed in all boxes
this week, and patrons can aid
greatly in moving the tremendous
number of Christmas cards by
sorting their cards into local, base,
out of town and foreign if any.
Airmail on foreign should be
checked at the window, and cards
in bundles or sacks should be
'handed in at the window end not
scattered iin the drop. This is a
great help as the cards must be
sorted by cities and stages, the
local popstmaster pointed ouit.
Four cent postage with a return
address is recommended, as such
cords will be forwarded and re
turned, and messages may be en
closed.
“Somebody in Kodiak is not go
ing to g0t the sled he is expect
ing,” Lamme said in connection
with the proper preparation of
packages, “'as we have received
one with no address and no return.
There is no way we can locate
the addressee and i tmay even be
for one of the 19 islands points
that we handle the mail for.”
Paper labels should never be
pasted on wood or metal, he ex
plained, as when dry th^ey curl
and come off. Shipping tags should
be used, and preferably two of
them. Strong cartons, strong string
and strong paper are also called
for to insure safe arrival of Chisit
mas gifts, he said.
People who mail early will find
less congestion at the post office
windows, Postmaster Lamme
pointed out, and stamps may be
purchased ahead of time for cards.
For those contemplating airmail
Cards, the Alaska airmail stamp
is available on request.
It is also especially appreciated
at (Christmas time, he added, if
people pick incoming packages up
as soon as they receive their
notices so lack of shelf room will

Alitak Without
School Teacher
The school at Alitak remains
without a teacher despite the ef
forts of officials of the Depart
ment of Education.
There is very little hope a
teacher will be furnished this
year. According to a memorandum
addressed to Mr. Howard Mat
thews, Deputy Commissioner of
Education, from Mrs. Leah W.
Macchis, Supervisor.of -Certifica
tion and Placement, a teacher had
been secured for school opening
this fall. He would replace Mr.
Dick Avery, who had been the
teacher the past two years. He had
requested a transfer to another
location. The replacement, a Mr.
Henry Bujalski of North Dakota,
was found to (be unable to meeit
certification requirements upon
receipt of his complete credentials.
A Mrs. Kay Estle of New Mexi
co, a married woman teacher with
previous experience in small Alas
ka schools* was secured for the
position. However, before Mrs.
Estle could reach Alitak, Miss
Joan Terry, Elementary Supervis
or, returned from a visit to the
Kodiak schools. Miss Terry report
ed that on her visit to Alitak she
learned that all of the Alitak
school children had moved across
Che bay to the Lazy Bay Cannery.
The cannery superintendent, Mr.
Axelson, considered that though
ha might be able to supply a small
room for the pupils and mimimum
,accomodations for a ma(n {teacher,
there were mo accommodations
whatsoever for a woman teacher.
According to Mrs. Macchia’s re
port, there is a large multiple
grade enrollment in the commu
irity, requiring the services of a
teacher with previous multiple
grade experience and primary
The Department then wired Mr.
Teacon Peterson, the A1 i It a k
School Agent, ‘that they could not
send a teacher until complete in
formation had been received on
the situation there.
The supervisor stated that Ali
ta*k had always been one of the
most difficult locations in which
to place teachers. Isolation of the
community and the condition of
the school building were given as
reasons as well as those stated
above.
