Pioneers Ask FAA
Employe To Write
Cordova History
Phyllis Carlson has been asked
to write a brief history of Cordova.
The request came from the chair
man of the “Grand Igloo” Conven
tion. This year’s convention of the
Pioneers of Alaska is to be held
in Cordova and the history is to be
included in the program.
Mrs. Carlson was reared in Cor
dova and has always been inter
ested in the history of the Copper
River Country. She at one time
conducted a “Woman to Woman”
program on Cordova Radio. An ar
ticle by her in ALASKA CALL, en
titled “Air Age Comes to Cordova,”
was about the history of aviation
in that section of the state. A few
years ago Mrs. Carlson won an
Alaska League of Writers award
with an article she had written
about a visit President Harding
made to Cordova many years ago.
She is presently employed in the
office of the Federal Aviation
Agency on Woody Island.
National
Library Week
By A. Holmes Johnson, M.D.
A Community Library is a na
tional heritage whose cultural ad
vantages are given liberally to all
worthwhile cities and towns. Ko
diak is fortunate in having had
public-minded citizens who, with
no thought of personal gain, have
given of their time to establish and
carry on an excellent local library
of 10.000 volumes.
National Library Week is April
21 to 28. Let us take this week to
give special honor to the volunteer
librarians who are giving, and who
have given over the years, count
less hours cf time from their busy
lives in order that this very im
portant service may continue. Onr
thanks go to each one of them per
sonally.
Plan to visit your library during
this week, look over the card index
files and the shelves and express
your appreciation to the librarian
on duty. The Library is open every
evening except Saturday each week
and will have a special day for vis
itors on Tuesday, April 23, from
1:30 to 4 p.m.

Spring Concert
Of KHS Band Is
Slated May Ninth
Did you know that the members
of the Kodiak High School Band
did not have any uniforms? Tis
true! And it’s probably the only
school band of a community of this
size in the entire state that lacks
uniforms. This year reports to the
Mirror are that the KHS band is
better than ever before and worth
hearing if you like stirring music.
You can hear yourself some grand
band music and also assist in get
ting uniforms by making it a point
to remember to attend the Spring
Concert scheduled for May 9 at
7:30 in the school auditorium. Pro
ceeds from admission will be used
for purchase of uniforms.
