ISLAND TRIP_
(Continued from Page 1)
to why this was so. Soil was there,
even in the uountainous areas.
There was an abundance of sun
and rainfall. One opinion express
ed was that use by early inhabi
tants depleted the area of trees,
but that idea didn't get much sup
port. Then too, these areas were
no harder hit by volcanic ash in
1912 than the North end—this
couldn't be the cause. Without
delving into it too thoroughly, may
'be it is safe to say the Island was
treeless in ages past. Oldtimers say
the treeline is gradually extend
ing further south.
To the resident here of from 5
to 20 years duration/whose activi
ties have centered mainly around
the town of Kodiak, the trip
is particularly enlightening. Places,

rivers and bodies of water that
have been names .only on maps—
such as Kiliuda Bay, Old Harbor,
Sitkalidak Island, Three Saints
Bay, Alitak, the Trinity Island
group, Karluk, Ugak and Larsen’s
Bay—each becomes more than a
name.
These villages become identified
with people — fishermen, wives,
school teachers, children, and dogs.
Don’t forget the latter, for you see
them in every little hamlet. The
villages, too, are identified with
the sea. The few or many fish
caught in the summer determines
the villages economic well-being or
plight the coming winter. x
We talked to one fisherman at
Old Harbor. He has nine children
(Large families are not unusual).
His summer’s catch, which was
higher than the general average,
netted him enough to pay some
bills, lay in a few supplies, and a
few hundred over, but not enough
to purchase some needed water
pipe to put in a home water sys
tem, which he bad planned.
My first glimpse of Old Harbor
was at 5:30 in the morning. The
ship had entered Sitkalidak Straits
during the night and dropped
anchor a short distance from shore.
Nestled below a mountain resembl
ing our own Womans, was Old
Harbor. To the right and beyond
were a group of jagged peaks,
formidable and foreboding, with
patches of last winter’s snow still
remaining in sheltered pockets.
On all sides were undulating
hills. Facing Old Hvarbor was the
island of Sitkalidak, its rolling
hillsides obscuring the ocean be
yond. As the round bright sun
appeared over the hills of Sittoal
idak, it seemed to act as a giant
searchlight focused on Old Harbor.
To the left ®s you looked was the
cemetery with its rows of double
crosses. A little to the right was
the ever familiar Russian Church.
On the far right was the school
house and in between, the dwell-,
ings of the approximately 200 resi
dents.
We met some of the inhabitants

vitch, and the schoolteachers, Van

NAVY WIVES—

among the wives of the Enlisted
men of the United States Navy,
Coast Guard and Marine Corps and
the reserves of each of these
branches of service.
Let’s take a brief look backwards
and see what has been accomplish
ed by Kodiak Island Navy WivA
Club and why we are doubly proud
of this organization.
One of the first acts of this
newly organized club was to have
a Christmas party for the children
at the Kodiak Baptist Mission.
Since then from time to time we
have provided food for needy
families, donated clothing to those
in need, collected /. and boxed
clothes and food for the Coast
Guard Air Drop to Alaskan Vil
lages along the chain, and provided
clothing and toys for the Bering
Sea Patrol to be distributed to
villages north of Kodiak.
Each month the Club assists the
Red Cross in meeting all MSTS
Ship arrivals, to see that transpor
tation and accomodations are pro
vided for incoming enlisted fami
lies. A representative from the
Club operates the Navy Relief
Thrift Shop one afternoon a week.
Besides contributions to the
Annapolis Navy Marine Memorial
Stadium Fund and the Pearl Har
bor Memorial Fund, the Kodiak
Island Navy Wives Club is par
ticularly proud of having been
able to give $1800 to the National
Navy Wives Scholarship Founda
tion. This foundation is sponsored
by the Navy Wives Clubs of Am
erica for the purpose of assisting
in the education of children of en
listed personnel in the U. S. Navy,
Marine Corps and Coast Guard on
active duty or retired. Needless to
say, we are very proud of the part/
we have played in the education of
a Cancer Research student at Rad
cliff College, who is assisted by the
Fund. In connection with the
‘^Cheechako Carnival* ’and “Tela
thon’ on AFRS-TV, many people in
Kodiak supported this worthy fund
with their time and talent.
The Kodiak Island Navy Wrm
Club looks forward to future par
ticipation in worthwhile communi
ty and national projects, with th*
hope thot it may continue to be an
asset to Kodiak Island.
