Letter to the Editor
Editor, Kodiak Mirror:
I keep hearing lots of talk by lo
cal citizens about the foreign “fish
ing pirates” stealing our king crab
and wrecking our gear. However,
instead of just talking among them
selves, I recommend they take some
ACTION, such as informing the re
sponsible authorities who are allow
ing this to happen of their views.

and Secretary of Defense Robert
McNamara, The Pentagon—all at
Washington, D.C. Also write Gov
ernor William Egan, State Capital,
Juneau, conunending him on his
fight so far and tell him to keep
fighting with all his resources.
Be polite, but firm, and remem
ber that if we push hard enough
and long enough they will take the
necessary action — particularly if
they know enough of their voters
are behind it!

To Organize NBA
Croup For Kodiak
There will be a meeting Wednes
day Oct. 30th in the Armory of per
sons interested in organizing a
unit of the National Rifle Associa
tion in Kodiak, according to Ken
Dugwyler. k
The main purpose of the ocal
unit will be to teach safe gunman
ship to Kodiak young people, Dug
wyler said.
“We are placing special emph
asis on educating our younger Ko
diak citizens on the safe handling
and use of small arms’ Dugwyler
explained and gave the following
statement as the official purpose
and objects of the NRA.
The National Rifle Association of
America founded in 1871, is a non
profit organization supported by
the membership fees of public
spirited citizens. Its purposes are
to educate and train citizens of good
repute in the safe and efficient
handling of firearms; to foster a
knowledge of small arms and the
ability to use them among members
of law enforcement agencies and
*- —- -
citizens who would be subject to
the armed services, and all other
service in the event of war; to pro
mote social welfare and public
safety, law and order, and national
defense.
The NRA stands squarely behind
the premise that the ownership of
firearms must not be denied
American citizens of good repute
so long as they use them for lawful
purposes.
The strength of NRA, and there
fore the ability to accomplish its
objects and purposes, depends en
tirely upon the support of loyal
Americans who believe in the right
to “Keep and Bear Arms”.
Every reputable person Who
owns or shoots a gun should be ft
member of the National Rifle As
sociation.
