Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
In order to clarify the regula
tions for proper observance of the
American flag, we would like to
quote from Public Law 829, Sec
tion 5: ‘That during the ceremony
of hoisting or lowering the flag or
when the flag is passing in a par
ade or in a review, all persons
present should face the flag, stand
at attention, and salute the flag.
Those present in uniform should
render the military salute. When
not in uniform men should remove
the headdress with the right hand
holding it at the left shoulder, the
hand being over the heart. Men
without hats should salute in the
same manner. Aliens should stand
at attention. Women should salute
by placing the right hand over the
heart”

Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
Did you know that you can now
buy swamp land and lakes on
Kodiak Island, just like were sold
in Florida years ago. (Starting
price $239.00 per acre.) You can
buy a hillside so steep that only a
tri-level house could be built on
it, for the same price.
Yes, these lots and others in the
Chiniak Area will go on sale, at
these bargain prices, on 15 July
I960.
Here are two good examples of
said lots:
Lot No. 5 (U. S. Survey 3473)
Cape Chiniak area, contains ap
proximately 217,800 sq. ft. (5
acres) of which almost half is a
lake right in the middle and the
balance is a marsh. The opening
price of this beautiful duck blind
lot is only $1,195.00.
Lot No. 4 (U. S. Survey 3473)
same area, contains approximately
2Vfe acres of steep sloping land
suitable for sledding, if you could
get through the brush. This choice
lot is priced at only $931.00.
At the rate of $239.00 per acre
(selling price for lot No. 5) Mr.
Dave Henley’s grazing lease land
is worth over $11,200,000.00 or al
most twice as much as the $7,200,
000.00 the United States paid Rus
sia for all of Alaska.
Yes, I know that times have
changed since then, but I still do
not believe that the value of land
on Kodiak Island has increased to
the value now established by the
Land Management Office.
When these lots were surveyed
in 1956 for recreation purposes,
the estimated selling price was
$125.00 and up.
I have been dreaming for years
about buying a lot in the Chiniak
Area, to build a recreation cabin
on, but now my dream is shot. The
land is much too valuable for rec
reation purposes.
I hope that this letter will start
others thinking about how the
people of Kodiak Island are trying
to be suckered in to buying lakes,
swamps and steep hillsides for
$239.00 per acre.

In a regularly scheduled Little

The next Outdoorsmen game
broke a winning streak as the Elks

Watkins went the distance giving
the rival Outdoorsmen only 9 hits
while behind the arm of Watkins
the Elks racked up 7 hits, each of
which came with one man on. The
loss was charged to pitcher George
Garoutte.
In an overtime on-base game,
the Red Sox played host to the

11 up in the bottom of the sixth,
a pitcher change was made and
the Outdoorsmen rallied to score
5 runs, making the final score Out
doorsmen 16, Red Sox 11. Winning
hurler was Louis “Dick” Veerman,
who slammed a long triple in the
bottom of the seventh to score
Markham and Turner ahead of
him. Losing pitcher was Doug
Andrews. Andrews backed up his
own fine deliveries with a first
inning grand slam over left field
fence driving home Steve Huber
ahead of him.
June 22 saw the Outdoorsmen,
with a 5 and 1 record, taking the
field against the on-base Cardinals.
In his last game with the Out
doorsmen, before returning to the
South 48, moundsman Bill Reedy
laid the Cardinals low, giving up
only 5 hits and pitching himself
out of two bad situations, when
bases were loaded. Behind the
pitching of Reedy, the Outdoors
men batted out 10 hits, 7 of which
went for extra bases. Leading the
Outdoorsmen team at the plate
were Don Robinson with 3 for 4
including 2 triples followed closely
by George Garoutte with 2 for 4,
one of which was a 3 bagger, and
“Dick” Veerman, who clouted a
