She concludes, Tm glad Sig
found you to relieve him—from
what you write it’s obvious you
love Kodiak and at the same time
you have a refreshing appraisal
of news and views and citizen re
sponsibilities. I love no other
place so much—hence the in
terest.”

Nick Itauch of the White Alice
project was perturbed and rightly
so when malicious damage in the
amount of $300 or more was done,
apparently by youngsters on his
boat in the Small Boat Harbor this
past weekend.
The damage was of the nature it
would make anybody angry. The
canvas top was slit, a microphone
from the radio torn out and thrown
away and dry fire extinguisher
powder scattered over the cabin.
Nor is this the first instance to
be reported. It could be that it may
be necessary to assign an officer to
keep unauthorized persons or
someone to patrol the area all
night.

Karl, who keeps the water
front covered, informs us that
“I knew she was an optometrist’s
daughter when she had two
drinks and made a spectacle of
herself.

The capital issue gets in full
swing this week with the Juneau
ites calling their faction “Alas
kans United” and the Anchor
agites “Capital Information Com
mittee,” all of which is somewhat
misleading as to their intentions.
Meanwhile the Chamber of Com
merce here which approved a
change in a resolution last year,
apparently is standing pat. But
there are many others who will
disagree and maintain it is a waste
of the taxpayers money.
As for Kapsules, we’re still hold
ing out for Kodiak, and if a com
promise has to be made we’ll take
Karluk or Ouzinkie.

Now that the city elections,
bond issues and the school board
race is settled, we can sit back
and relax and forget all about
campaigning and all that for an
other full month.
A month from Oct. 6, we’ll

be going to the poils again this
time to vote in the general elec
tion, and while Kodiak has a vo
cational school at stake hardly
anyone hereabouts or anywhere
else seems to be concerned about
it. Certainly no other community
is going to force it down our
throats if it appears that we are
indifferent.

To conclude Week No. 1 of the
Month of October, 1962, suppose
you heard about the Alaskan who
was arrested for bigamy.
He had a wife in Nome, another
in Fairbanks and still another in
Juneau.
The judge looked at the culprit
sternly and asked, “How could you
do such a thing?”
Replied the bigamist, “Fast dog
team.”
Larger Packages
May Come Soon
Via Parcel Post
Bigger parcels may be coming
into the Kodiak post office as a re
sult of the bill to adjust postal
rates and provide pay increases to
Federal employes, as the Senate
this past week accepted an amend
ment restoring to Alaska the bene
fits enjoyed as a territory relating
to maximum size and weight of
fourth-class parcels mailed at or
for delivery at first-class post of
fices.
Under these provisions, parcels
could be as large as 100 inches in
length and girth combined and
could weigh as much as 70 pounds,
up from the present limit of 72
inches and 20 pounds.
Kodiak would be one of the six
Alaska first-class offices to be af
fected if the amendment is sus
tained.
Three Host Baby Shower Thursday
A baby shower for Mrs. Roy
Madsen, mother of twins, Guy and
Jacqueline born in September, was
held Thursday evening at the home
of Mrs. Walter Kraft.
Co-hostesses at the shower were
Mrs. Robert Robson, Mrs. Kraft
and Mrs. James Barr.
There are people in every state
who go fishing to wet their whis
tles instead of their fishing lines.
