Johnny Is Intrigued
Little Johnny Corgatelli is intrigued as he peers into the sight of
the 106 Mounted Recoilless Rifle on display at Kraft’s on Veterans
Day. Telling Johnny about the gun is Pfc. Larry Davenport, a mem
ber of the Kodiak unit of the Alaska National Guard.
— Kodiak Kapsmles —
(By Bill Mason)
From the Cordova Times we
learn that “Still no snow around
here except above the 1,000 foot
level. The ‘wild’ temperatures
have been easy on our fuel bills.”
Just wait until it turns ‘mild.’
* * * *
Now we hear tell of a proud
Texan who said to his wife, “I
think the kids are old enough to
know the facts of life. Let’s tell
them about Alaska!”
* * * *
SUDDEN THOTS: If we saved
$150,000,000 by not moving the
capital, just think how much we
would save by not having a cap
ital. . . . The market value of
Egan buttons to Stepovich but
tons is now 1 for 10. . . . When
was the last time you saw a
published city budget in Kodiak?
... There’s no truth to the rumor
that a jeep was lost last week in
one of our city street chuckholes
—it was a Volkswagen. ... It
would appear that taxi drivers
are trying to get even with the
move to make them park off
street by double parking. ... It
is true that there’s a strong move
afoot to “open” up the school
board meetings to the public?

Hoax Or Truth?
Rumor Squelched
A widespread, but unfounded
rumor, which found its way as
far away as Seattle and Juneau
to the effect that no Russian
trawlers were involved in drag
ging of pots from the Oceanic
last week near Sitkinak Island—
proved to be nothing but rumors.
A thorough check with the
ADF&G, the Naval Base and
other authoritative sources this
week brought forth the informa
tion that the incident did take
place as reported, and that Sen.
Bob Bartlett’s call on the matter
from Seattle were for the pur
pose of pinpointing specific in
formation.

The Civil Defense siren will be
sounded at noon on Saturday.

Along
The
Waterfront
By Karl Armstrong
Kodiak has a vital interest at
stake in the proceedings and de
cisions of the International North
Pacific Fisheries Commission
which is now in session in Seattle.
The Japanese have made clear that
they want to do away with the
“abstention principle” whereby
they refrain from taking certain
species of fish. They also wish to
extend their fisheries east of the
175th meridian, sometimes re
ferred to as the “Dulles line” be
cause it was John Foster Dulles
who drew the line permitting the
Japanese into Alaskan fisheries.
+
Previously under President
Truman the U.S. claimed fishing
rights out to the edge of the con
tinental shelf. The Japanese
wish to take halibut as well as
salmon and king crab.
The Russians, who are not mem
bers of the Commission, but who
have observers present, are under
no restrictions of the treaty and,
as Kodiak fishermen well know
now, have begun a massive fish
eries effort in Alaskan waters.
.t.
We have now been assured by
the Russians that they have in
structed their fishermen to be
more careful in fishing near Ko
diak crab pot areas. They say they
are sorry for the gear losses and
claim it was all just some sort of
unintentional accident.
Those apologies and assur
ances come in the wake of mi

Heavy Medical Expenses Bear Down On Bennie Benson j
Of Kodiak, State Flag Designer, Mirror Asks For Funds
Kodiak’s own Bennie Benson is
in dire financial straits as a result
of heavy hospital and doctor ex
penses occurred during the past
several months in Seattle.
Bennie who as a school young
ster in Kodiak designed the Alas
kan State flag and gained wide
spread fame for the community,
recently had surgery for the re
moval of some toes, and now it is
feared that a leg may have to be
amputated.
His employer, Bob Hall, owner
of Kodiak Airways, says that he
knows the medical expenses have
gone over the $5,000 mark and are
continuing to mount.
The Kodiak Mirror and others
who know Bennie feel his recovery
will be hastened if he feels a part
of his medical expenses will be de
frayed.
All Kodiakans and other Alas
kans who are willing to contribute
in this worthy cause are asked to
mail checks or make contributions
addressed to the Bennie Benson
Fund, no matter how small, to the
Kodiak Mirror, P.O. Box 1307. !
The names of all donors, wheth
er they be clubs, classroom groups
or individuals, will be publicly ac
knowledged in the Mirror.
