A Word On Letters
To The Editor
In accordance with the Kodiak
Mirror’s policy to make its columns
available to anyone wishing to
state his or her views on any sub
ject, controversial or otherwise, we
are publishing this weeks’ letters
to the editor on two entirely dif
ferent subjects.
In each letter the writers have
been lengthy in stating their cases.
Normally we do not encourage
such lengthy letters and due to
limitations of space must refuse
them. However, in each of these
letters views are expressed which
affect Kodiak’s future and its
economics.
The facts outlined in the bakery
letter can apply to many businesses
in town, and we feel are the better
for being brought out in the open.

A POEM
(The following untitled poem
was written by Dr. A. Holmes John
son’s sister who obviously shares
her brother’s hope of seeing Kodi
ak become one of the most lovely
and charming communities in the
world.)
Are you aware, I wonder
Of the beauty that you share
Upon this lovely island?
Do you care
Enough to bear
The duty of the beauty
That you wear?
Do I dare remind you
Of the loveliness behind you7
Dare I beg you, keep it fair?
Dorothea Spears

tion should be shown these men
to make their jobs safer more in
viting, and profitable.
EIGHTH: I will clearly state my
position on the matter of the pres
ent managerial type of city gov
ernment. If this system can be
guided to respond and fulfill the
will of the people, well and good.
If this system proves itself too
awkward to accomplish this, I shall
expect the full support of the
people of Kodiab to bring about a
change to the active mayor, coun
cil system. The only test is the re
sults, with ACTION—NOW!
By the same token new and
carry-over members of the council
must likewise respond to the de
mands of progress, and become
more aware of what is going on
in the affairs of the city. In
other words, the plug will be pulled
and what ever has in the past acted
as a deterrant to the welfare of
this community will be removed
without failure.
The projects above by no means
cover all areas that must be acti
vated if Kodiak is to meet its obli
gation incurred by growth. We as
members of one of the most beau
tifully situated communities of all
Alaska are now at the point of de
cision. Shall we grow or die? I
emphatically say, let’s go to work
and work together for the most
beautiful, prosperous, exciting
city of all America, that has more
friendly, and wonderful people,
even though you can hardly see
them for the dust, than any place
I’ve ever lived.
This is your decision.

Letter to the Editor
USS BENNINGTON CVS-20
Fleet Post Office
San Francisco, Calif.
29 August 1963
Dear friends in Kodiak:
All of us on board USS Benning
ton have just spent a most won
derful weekend with you.
It is difficult to express our
thoughts of gratitude with a simple
“Thank you.” This is what we want
to say, however, and we mean it
in the truest, most sincere ALAS
KAN sense.
The officers and men see many
ports in many different parts of
the world during our various as
signments at sea. Never before
have we experienced the genuine
warmth which greeted us on this
Alaskan visit.
We thank you for the dance pre
sented in our honor. We enjoyed
your tours of Kodiak and sur
rounding countryside. We were
thrilled by the hunting and fishipg
for trout and salmon. And we are
still talking about the delicious
King Crab.
Also we were pleased that we
had the opportunity to show you
your Navy — to have you visit us
on board and learn of our role
in the Pacific Fleet.
We all sincerely hope that only
a short time passes before we re
turn again.
Please allow our humble “Thank
you.”
Most sincerely,
C. E. HEALY
