Kodiak Won’t Be Outdone By Marines
Or Kennedys; Ghiniak Marathon Sunday
Not to be outdone by the Ken
nedy’s of Boston and the U. S. Ma
rines, Kodiak’s physical fitness ex
perts are “scheduled” to hike to
Chiniak this Sunday to prove their
merit.
The endeavor is being planned
by Ray Shannon of Krafts’ to prove
that anything that can be done
elsewhere can be done here, or to
a certain extent anyway.
Walt Muller of the Kodiak Mor
tuary has volunteered the use of
his vehicle just in case somebody
falls by the wayside.
The test is scheduled to begin at
6 a.m. providing anybody gets out
of bed and makes it. The only re
freshment pause will be at the
Rendezvous, but there will be no
stopping—just a slow down in
pace.
Among those who have indicated
their willingness to prove their
fitness a la the presidential order
to the Marines recently are:
Hank Gerlach, Kay Fannin, Jean
Price, Red McKinney, Von Straut,
Val Morrison, Jean Strigga, Frank
Irick, Stan Nelson, Scotty Riddell,
Emanuel Davis, Floyd Chase, Lee
Jones, Bill Lamme, Rasmus Urdall,
Sully, Jim Brightman, Jake.
Emil Kraft, Chief Vickery, Long

Not yet planned is how all the
contestants are going to be back
to town if they ever reach Chiniak.
But Chairman Shannon maintains
that’s the problem of the endur
ance runners.
Speech, Hearing
Therapy Program
Making Progress
Progress on speech and hearing
therapy is moving ahead rapidly
Dr. Beirne Dittman, state director
of the program and Miss Peggy
Hamilton, consultant who will work
here, said Friday.
The program in Kodiak is on a
self-supporting basis and Miss Ham
ilton will be here every six weeks
to work with patients. However,
they must have a medical referral
before attending the clinic.
At the conclusion of the program
last spring there were 30 in town
and 24 on the Base who were re
ceiving therapy.
Presently the ACCA is seeking
a clinic with two rooms for the
consultant, but on Miss Hamilton’s
visit six weeks from now, it will be
held at the Baptist church. Par
ents are required to pay for the
services if they have funds, and
both speech and hearing therapy
is for youngsters and adults.
Anyone desiring an appointment
fir the next clinic should contact
Mrs. Elsie Batchelor at 6-2818.
The organization’s Easter Seal
drive, one of its three fund raising
projects, will bet underway on
March 7 and continue until Easter.

to Wharfinger Jack Metzger, was

which departed for Seattle Thurs
day night.

Sale For Benson
Nets About $225
The Benny Benson White Ele
phant Sale held Monday at the
Armory netted approximately
$225 with the large Benson-made
Alaskan flag bringing in $35
from Victor Williams of RCA
and Mrs. Louise Barker purchas
ing the cake made by Naugh
ton’s. Later in the week she had
a coffee party and made another
$10 from this for the fund.
As the drive came to a climax,
more than two-thirds of Benny’s
hospital expenses of $3,100 was
paid off, and about one-half of
his $1,100 doctor bill.
It is expected that a bill will
be introduced in the Alaska legis
lature to pay Benson the $1,000
he was supposed to have received
from the territory at the time he
designed the flags as a 13-year
old youngster.
Such a measure is now being
considered by a Sitka senator.
