U. S. flag may be dipped in cour

some other national flags, never
to an individual.
Baranov Play
Auditions June 4
Auditions for children to play in
the Anchorage Community Thea
tre production of “Cry of the Wild
Ram,” are to be held in Anchorage,
Saturday, June 4. An original pag
eant-drama by Frank Brink, the
play deals with the life of Baranov,
with many of its scenes here in
Kodiak.
The auditions are to select chil
dren to play the part of the son
and daughter of Baranov. The
dances and drums of the Kenai
Indians are also the object of a
search by the Anchorage Commun
ity Theatre. They are needed to
instruct the young lady who is
chosen to play the Indian wife of
Baranov.
“Cry of the Wild Ram” is the
first major historical drama to be
presented ift the new state and
deals with the era of the Russian
American Fur Company and its
first governor, Alexander Baranov.
Mrs. Lynch Recalls
Early Kodiak Days
(Continued from Page 10)
Navy sent a Navy doctor and me
down on a plane and we got to
work. The only penicillin available
at that time had to be given every
three hours around <the clock. On
one day twenty - three patients
were getting injections. I set up
a tray and went from house tb
house with injections, and at night
I set the alarm clock for every
three hours. There was nothing we
could do to prevent well people
from catching the virus so it con
tinued until everyone had had it.
“Fortunately we have never had
in Kodiak such a high proportion
of susceptible people. My impres
sion is that the town of Kodiak
has a smaller proportion of the
very poor and very ignorant than
other places, so that the general
level of hygiene and nutrition is
not so bad here.”
We asked if her duties included
other villages on the island. “Yes,
I’ve been around the island a little
—Ouzinki and Afognak, Karluk—
mostly checking children. No, I
never saw any bears except once
when we were in Larsons Bay. The
Indians had captured three young
bear cubs. The mother had had
four, which is most unusual. I
needed to go to Chief’s Point and
a Native man, who was one of the
men who had captured the cubs,
was taking me in his boat. I was
curious as to what had happened
to the mother bear because it was
unlikely she would have left her
cubs. The Native said that he and
some other men found the nest
in grass at the top of a cliff. He
said, ‘Mother run away. Second
time in my life I have seen this.’
I asked him how dangerous he
considered the Kodiak bear and
he told me that some bears are
especially mean. ‘Mean bear have
cross—dark streak down back and
across shoulders.’ He had never
known of a bear killing a man
though once he saw a man whose
leg had been badly chewed.”
In addition to preventative medi
cine, check-ups ior children and
home visits, Mrs. Lynch’s duties
included care of the inmates of
the local jail. “It was a horrible
building, just one large room. You
came in through a barred door
and in the room there were bunks
on one side, usually inscribed
‘Reserved for So and So.’ Then
there was a Black Hole which was
just that—a small cell about five
by six feet; the only light came
from a little grill in the door.
There was nothing in it except a
few blankets on the floor and it
was used for confining psychotics,
or DT cases. When I was called in
to check on one of these the jailer
would find a flashlight so I could
see in, open the door and then
stand there with a leather sap to
protect me. This was the only way
psychotic patients could be han
dled. The hospital still has no
facilities for such cases. The fund
raising going on now is just for
repairs and current expenses
which are always great.”
As we talked in the comfort
able kitchen of Mrs. Lynch’s home
a tea kettle hissed on the stove,
a pleasant sound, and then another,
this one an insistent thump. Tippy,
a great dane as big as a pony, had
come to call. His feet were muddy,
his visit brief.
We asked about her life before
she came here. “I was born and
brought up in Wisconsin, went to
the University of Minnesota and
returned there for my degree in
Public Health Nursing. Before I
came to Alaska I worked in New
Jersey, Minnesota and Montana.”
Mrs. Lynch left the Public
Health field several years ago to
become Kodiak School Nurse. This
involves first aid, check-ups and
preventative medicine. "My liaison
with the parents is very helpful
because of course the physical
well-being of the children has a
great deal to do with attendance
and achievement. That type of
mutual interpretation more or less
falls into my job." She gardens a
great deal. Her flowers were in
beautiful bloom though she was
quick to say they were not the
earliest in town. As for other hob
bies, her busy schedule allows
little time.
Mrs. Lynch was married here
in 1950. Her husband died a few
months ago. Marion Lynch made
us most warmly welcome in her
home but we knew she was busy
preparing for a trip outside and we
felt we had taken our quota of her
time. In parting she said we might
quote her thus: “I think Kodiak is
a beautiful spot with a foul climate
and lovely people. The thing I like
about Kodiak is the people.”
