Kodiak Red Cross Chapter Opens
1963 Fund Drive: Quota Is $2,101
The Kodiak Chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross joined in a nation
wide campaign for members and
funds this week.
Fund drive chairman Tim Rout
zahn said the success of this year’s
national drive is essential to the
continued health and welfare of
millions of persons in America
and around the world.
The month-long appeal is tied to
the slogan, “Always There . . .
with Your Help.”
Quota for the Kodiak drive is
$2,101, Routzahn said. Plans call
for a membership sign-up desk to
be operated in the Post Office on
Fridays and Saturdays. March 22
23, and 29-30. Kodiak business
houses, and canneries on the Is
land are being contacted during
the drive.
This year the American Red
Cross and some 90 sister agencies
mark the 100th anniversary of the
worldwide Red Cross movement
During the fund and membership
campaign ARC chapters will offer
Americans the opportunity to be
come a part of a century-old tra
dition of mercy, Routzahn, the Ko
diak Chapter campaign chairman,
said.
To carry on its share of the tra
dition of mercy the Kodiak ARC
Chapter relies on the voluntary
fund contributions of the people of
Kodiak Island.
Routzahn explained that the funds
raised here are backed up by the
freely given time and talents of
trained volunteers which enables
the Chapter to help:
Solve personal and family prob
lems of servicemen and their de
Dendents through friendly counsel
and guidance and emergency com
munications and financial aid:
Ease the suffering of disaster
victims with food, shelter, clothing,
medical care and nursing care;
Restore to health the sick and
injured;
Keep families safe by teaching
courses in first aid, water safety,
home nursing and mother and baby
care.
Routzahn continued:
“While proud of its part in the
hundred-year history of the world
wide Red Cross, the Kodiak Chap
ter—and the entire American Red
Cross—must continue building for

Jarvela Votes No
On “State Fish"
Alaska was one step closer to
having an official state fish this
week—just like Robert Haynes of
College, a second-grader wants 't.
A bill designating the king sal
mon as the official fish of the state
passed the House on Friday by a
33-1 vote and was sent along to
the Senate.
The only legislator to vote
against the measure was Rep. Gil
Jarvela (D-Kodiak) who, noting
that the red and pink salmon were
important in his district, remarked
jokingly:
“I’d be strung up in the area
where I come from if I voted for
this.”
HEADS BOND DRIVE
Mrs. Darryl Pederson will be
Freedom Bond Drive Chairman for
Port Wakefield, according to an an
nouncement made by Helen M.
Fischer, state director for the Alas
kan office of the Treasury’s Saving
Bond program.
the future.
In this coming year, perhaps
as never before in a time of so
called peace, the Red Cross must
be ready and able to piovide its
traditional help to the victims of
disaster, disease and war.
“And with Your Help ... It will
be!”

Chamber To Hire
Part-Time Man
A part time manager will be
hired for the Kodiak Area Cham
ber of Commerce. Approval of the
position came at Thursday’s Cham
ber meeting.
Dr. Bob Johnson, chairman of a
three man committee which studied
the proposal said that Kodiak is
Alaska’s only major city without
a Chamber manager.
Cost of a full time manager was
prohibitive at this time. Dr. Bob
reported the average annual sal
ary for a Chamber manager is in
the $10,000 to $12,000 bracket.
A part time manager would be
paid a salary proportionate to the
full time salary, or in the neigh
borhood of $2,000 a year for doing
one-sixth of a full time job.
Emblem Club Plans
Emblem Club No. 187 has a busy
schedule ahead with an election of
officers held March 21 and one
week later, on March 28, will hold
an installation rehearsal.
Installation and initiation cere
monies will be held March 30. All
meetings are at the Elks Club.
