Reflections
(continued from page 1)
bacterial organisms in the citv
water supply? The proof of the
pudding lies in the purity of water
from the tap, not in purity of water
shed streams or the reservoirs.
What is the pollution content of
our tap water?
It appears to me absurd to close
an entire watershed when on water
supply reservoirs in New York, in
Pennsylvania and in California and
other places, fishing from boats
and from the banks is not only per
mitted, but encouraged.
Now to the question of security
on which Mr. Davenport based his
recommendation for closure. Of
course, Mr. Davenport is correct
in emphasizing the great need for
security for communications here
and White Alice’s part in supplying
this. But exactly what is meant by
“considerable trouble with people
driving into the area despite signs
erected on the site? What kind of
trouble? How many times during
the past year have uninvited guests
actually invaded the station know
ingly? Does an occasional car driv
ing by many yards away constitute
trouble? Do a group of people
walking down the side road, pick
ing berries, admiring the view or
the wild flowers of spring consti
tute trouble?”
The newspaper article goes on
to say it would be easy for anyone
to enter the area and disrupt the
service if he so desired. Are we
being accused? Does anyone think
any of us have the slightest inclin
ation to disrupt the White Alice
service? And are we so naive as to
believe a little gate at the bottom
of the road could deter a trained
enemy agent from attempting to
and probably suceeding in wreck
ing the station?
What is the solution to these two
problems (if they exist) of pollu
tion and security?
To prevent pollution, signs
should be erected explaining that
the area supplies the city water
shed. The reservoir should be
fenced in. Sanitation rules should
be posted; penalty for infractions
should be fines and imprisonment
To prevent the White Alice Sta
tion from being entered, an off
limits area should be strictly de
fined by posts with cables attached
to them, and explanatory signs so
that people will know exactly
where they are and are not per
mitted to go.
Is a gate needed at the bottom
of the road; or should more ques
tions be answered first?
Juvenile Problem
(continued from page 1)
ventive measures.
Rep. Jarvela also pointed up al
coholism as a cause of juvenile de
linquency. Government handouts
to people was another, he said. A
child regards them as a way of life,
he said. He stressed more education
for the children of the villages is
necessary. A vocational education
school for Kodiak was cited as a
necessity. »
Among other means of control
ling juvenile delinquency were
mentioned a stricter State code; the
need of a counselor here; put some
children in foster homes; do some
thing about the delinquent parents;
the need of a district magistrate
here, with authority over juveniles,
an increased budget to handle sit
uations on a local level.

A RECENT PICTURE OF KODIAK, the above scene is one or
many that will be found in George Ameigh’s book of Kodiak Island,
Forthcoming Bock Will Feature
Pictorial Account Of Kodiak
Kodiak’s history has been told
many times in many ways.
Some excellent books have been
”-:‘ten in which the early history
cf Kodiak is vividly portrayed or
‘cuched on.
The scenic grandeur of the coast
line, and Kodiak’s setting has been
reclaimed and commented on many
times by many people. Kodiak is
photogenic, it has been said.
It remained for a young photo
grapher to see in this town and the
surrounding hills, islands and
coastline the great possibility of
telling Kodiak’s story in picture
form.
George C. Ameigh, a Chief on
the Naval Station, whose great hob
by is taking pictures, has photo
graphed Kodiak more than any one
individual. He has taken pictures
from the air, from boats, on the
land, and has shot Kodiak from
about every angle imaginable.
George Ameigh’s forthcoming
book, which is in the hands of the
printer right now, will cover Ko
diak in all its phases, its, industry,
housing, history, fishing, hunting
and life in general. We reprint
herewith its cover.
Also will be found here several
reproductions of pictures to be
found in the book. Not all the pic
tures are the author’s own, but the
great majority are.
Pictures to be found in the fin
ished book will be of many places
on Kodiak Island.
The author has been staff photo
grapher for the Kodiak Mirror for
more than a year. You have, we
feel sure, enjoyed his reproductions
in our pages. We feel sure you will
enjoy his forthcoming book, for
unique it will be—a pictorial his
ory of Kodiak.
