Small Marine Zoo
Fascinates Kids
Ever wonder whether an octo
pus could catch a fish as it swam by
or whether a crab would try to eat
an octopus? For that matter have
you ever seen a real, live, hone~t
to-goodness octopus or scallop?
Well, if your curiosity gets the
best of you and you MUST know
such things, you now have your
chance to observe such creatures
in the aquarium located at the Ko
diak Suppliers in the Deveau Elec
tronics building.
The aquarium, into wrncn iresn
sea water is constantly pumped, is
so constructed that the glass side
of it appears to be a window facing
the small boat harbor. It now con
tains a variety of sea life which has
been drawing crowds, particularly
hildren who obviously are fascin
ated.
The youngsters who have spent
hours watching for the octopus to
indicate hunger were finally re
warded and are now able to assure
you that an octopus CAN snatch a
fish swimming by it cause they
watched as a snaky tentacle lashed
out and wound itself around a pas
sing herring and pulled the help
less fish down to it’s sharp and
vicious beak where it tore into the
herring’s intestines and devoured
some organ . . . “It’s heart,” said
one lad . . “No, it’s liver,” said
another.”
At another hungry or angry mo
ment, the octopus (easily the most ,
popular creature in the living dis- ,
play) suddenly wrapped itself
around a meandering dungeness
crab.
Carl Rodli, proprietor of Kodiak
Suppliers advised that he has been
told that live dungeness crab are
dropped into aquariums as food

for the pulsating octopus which
promptly drop over them and de
vour them. “The crab somhow arr
aware there is an octopus in the
water the minute they hit the wa
ter and become frantic,” Rodli
said.
The aquarium here however con
tains many crabs, dungeness. king,
tanner and spider, and only one
little octopus and they seem to
have become rather accustomed to
the inescapable proximity of one
another. Further they have to
share the 8 foot long tank with her
ring, jelly fish, and as soon as they
are brought in, clams and scallops.
Pete Deveau, who sparked the
building of the sea aquarium ex
pressed “great pleasure” over it’s
success to date and said that he
hoped that it would be a forerun
ner of a much larger aquarium ven
ture . . . one capable of containing
sea and land otter, seals, dolphins
and porpoises . . . most anything
that lives in our Kodiak area wa
ters.”
“I think such an aquarium
would prove out to be one of the
biggest tourist attractions Kodiak
could offer besides being highly
educational for the young people
of our community,” Deveau stated.
Mirror Ad Causes
Naughton Rush
Advertising in the Kodiak Mir
ror pays off according to Naugh
ton’s Bakery.
Last week Naughton’s ran an ad
announcing the opening of their
new delicatessen and were so
swamped with customers during
the weekend that they ran out of a
number of their specialty items.
“We did not anticipate such a
great response and are hoping that
our suppliers were able to ship the
items we ran out of in time for this
weekend.
Naughton’s Bakery and Deleca
tessan drew words of high praise
from visitors aboard the sleek
yacht Nereus whose skipper-own
er, Bill Pomeroy, stayed over an
exxtra day to enable his wife to
tour the plant before departing.

‘‘We were of course highly ap
preciative of the magnificent beau
ty and scenery of Kodiak Island,
and consider it one of the most
beautiful spots on earth. Also we
were amazed at the generous and
warm hospitality of the people of
your community who gave us the
finest and friendliest greeting and
treatment of any place we have
visited so far,” said Pomeroy.
“However, odd as it might seem,
we were tremendously impressed
at finding an operation like Naugh
ton’s Bakery in such a small town
way off in the North Pacific. It was
a first class surprise to us to dis
cover Naughton’s first class oper
ation and we are still mystified at
how in the world they could pos
sibly put out such an amazing
variety of products and still main
tain a gourmet’s quality in every
item. It is a rarity to find such an
operation even in great metro
politan centers of the world and ws
wonder if the people here realize
and appreciate what they have,”
Pomeroy said before departing
for the Pribolof Islands, adding
“we were especially impressed with
their Russian Rye bread which we
have seen advertized in national
magazines.”
The Naughton s presented the
Pomeroys with samples of their
bakery products, smoked red sal
mon and jellies made from local
berries by Mrs. Emma Naughton,
their mother. Before departing the
