Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DIGREE
Motorists going to the Base yes
terday received quite a jolt when
when they saw the snow, and an
even worse jolt when they realized
there was ice beneath. Stalled auto
mobiles were the order of the day,
with the traffic eventually getting
underway.
This is just by way of brushing
off the topic of snow—or is that
shoveling it aside?
* * *
There was a skim of ice over a
part of the small boat harbor the
other morning. This brings to mind
the icing problem which will be
with us before long.
After reading an article recently
about a system of combating icing
conditions even in a lake in a
colder clime than this, this seems
the best and cheapest way to lick
the problem. It is simply to keep
the water aerated by means of a
compressor, blowing bubbles from
the bottom, which brings the rel
atively warmer water from that
area to the surface. Pictured was
a path for a ferry kept open by
this means with thick ice on each
side of it.
Initial cost would be the highest,
and after that maintenance for the
relatively short period needed
wouldn’t be high. It could probably
be put in for less than the cost of
the survey we’re about to have to
determine how best to combat the
program.
According to Mayor Merrill
Coon, Sen. Bartlett seems to think
Kodiak could get appropriations
for an additional small boat harbor
—time to think of that too.

There are some people in the
community of Tyler, Texas who are
mad. Object of their anger is the
federal government. The reason is
an unusual one. The federal gov
ernment wants to give the county,
which includes Tyler, along with
41 adjoining East Texas counties,
money, on the grounds that they
are depressed areas.
Tyfler doesn’t like this one bit,
apparently. On the day it was an
nounced, a paper there asked:
“Where can we file suit for slan
der?” It went on: “We are neither
depressed nor distressed econom
ically."
Kodiak is in a similar situation.
It was recently declared a de
pressed area. We, too, are neither
depressed nor distressed econom
ically. Why should Tyler or Ko
diak be declared a depressed area?
It’s because of the Area Redevelop
ment Act which recently went into
effect, carrying an appropriation
of $394 million. In order to get a
chunk of it, Kodiak had to be des
ignated as a depressed area. De
pressing, isn’t it?

THIS SOUNDS LIKE CITY

The Business Mans
Corner
By EUGENE ANTHONY
A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IS
NO ACCIDENT! It is a well
planned effort through the use of
capital and labor to accomplish the
objectives of the business.
Business may be considered to
consist of two streams of activities.
First, there are the regular acquisi
tions of goods and services re
quired for the performance of it’s
objectives. These activities result
in business costs. There follows the
accomplishment of the objectives
of the business to recover costs as
well as profit through the sale of
goods and services. These activities
are the source of business revenue.
The net income from operations
for a specified period is deter
mined by matching against the rev
enues realized withm the period
those costs that are considered ap
plicable thereto. This application
of costs against revenues is called
the “matching process”.
CASH BASIS METHOD: De
fined it means that no expense has
been incurred or the acquisition of
goods and assets have been made
until paid for and concurrently, no
revenue has been earned until pay
ment is received. This method is
accepted by most small business
men because of its simplicity. How
ever, this method by no means re
flects the matching process of costs
against revenues. For instance, if
goods and services were not re
ceived until after the close of the
period, then the results on the Cash
Basis would reflect a business loss.
It is obvious that this method does
not reflect a true picture.
ACCRUAL METHOD: This meth
od is one by which costs are re
corded when incurred regardless
of the time of payment. And, con
currently, the matching revenues
are recorded when earned. By this
method, the degree of profit or loss
can be measured periodically and
the results evaluated.
This is the first of a series of ar
ticles to acquaint tihe average
businessman with the principles of
good business.
Next week — Financial State
ments.

Much talent is lost to the world
unless it is backed by courage.
KODIAK
has a fascinating and interest
ing history that has occupied
the attention of many groups
and people over the years.
Volumes have been written on
the early cultures of its peo
ple, the historical aspects of
the Island, etc. Volumes more
could be written.
The Kodiak Mirror is con
cerned at present with Ko
diak’s everyday life, the peo
ple who are now here, and the
events daily taking place. We
do, however, like once in a
while to look back in retro
spect. That is what we propose
to do in our forthcoming Spe
cial Edition. Our plan is not to
go too extensively into the
early days. Rather, we will
confine ourselves to
THE LAST
few years and the present,
linking the two to indicate the
progress made. The early war
years were indeed stirring
days. F o 1 k '1 o r e aplenty
abounds, about the men and
women involved in the speedy
construction of the Naval Sta
tion, when men and women
from areas of the U.S. contrib
uted to Kodiak’s emergence
as a strategic area in the de
fense of our country. Interest
ing, too, are the factors that
contributed to its growth and
progress, its ups and downs,
and the final realization of the
inhabitants that it was here to
stay and even grow. It is these
past
TWENTY YEARS
we propose to review in the
Special Edition. Also will be
included stories, articles and
pictures of earlier days. Oui*
main emphasis however will
be on the later period.
We therefore appeal to our
readers who have pictures of
events, people, Kodiak in gen
eral, scenic or otherwise, any
thing of a community interest,
etc., etc., to loan them to use
for reproduction in the Spec
ial Edition.
We ask you to share them
with our readers.
