them, lie claims we just clean
them, cut them and slap them on
the grill.
The world traveler would mar
inate them with a sauce made up
of butter, garlic, salt, pepper,
oregano, rosemary, dry parsley,
celery seed and tabasco — in
much the same manner as the
Indian Potlach salmon.
On one point we agreed that
there is no more flavorful fish
than fresh Alaska salmon or hali
but.

SEPTEMBER SCRAPS: We fi
nally got off our burros and are
getting with the borough. . . . What
happened to the political promise
emanating from Juneau to the ef
fect that readvertising of the
Homer-Kodiak ferry would take
place no later than Sept. 15? ... A
comparative newcomer to the com
munity suggests we sponsor a
chuck-hole contest on the streets
and the one who spots the deepest
on his street wins a truckload of
gravel. ... A good project for the
Chamber of Commerce to push is
establishment of a slaughter-house
to enable the Kodiak Island cattle
raisers an opportunity to sell their
products to the Naval Station as
well as the home town consumers
(’twould be a big shot in the arm
for the cattle industry). . . . After
reading of Kodiak in the ’40’s in
last week’s Mirror, wonder what
bruoght the pennies to town
(parking meters?). ... To date
Kodiak residents appear to be in
different to the capital change,
even though such a move would cut
the distance from the seat of gov
ernment some 500 miles, but any
change would still be a long way
from here. . . . Wonder if the Ko
diak loading figure for PNA at the
close of the salmon season wasn’t
the highest per capita of any com
munity it serves. . . . Keeping pace
with new phone installations, Ko
diak Telephone is mailing out a
supplement to its new directory
just printed this past month. . . .
We are in receipt of a host of King
Crab recipes from Wakefield’s
available for any interested house
wife in the area.

Karlier this week we heard
about eight-year-old Johnny,
eldest of seven Kodiak children,
who associated his mother’s trips
to the Griffin Memorial hospital
with having a new baby.
However, this time, it was his
father who went to the hospital
—with a case of the flu. Visiting,
Johnny handed him a bunch of
flowers and looked critically
around the room. “Gee, Pop,” he
finally blurted. “Where’s the
kid?”

Purloined from somewhere is
the story about the little California
girl who accompanied her family
to daddy’s new base at Kodiak this
past fall.
“Momma,” she said excitedly as
the first snowflakes whirled across
the sidewalk, “Popped rain!”

We have our problems with
fishing laws, limits, restrictions
here in Kodiak but life can be
difficult in other parts of Alaska,
too, particularly the rural area
around Palmer where a girl at
Final Rites Held
For Alitak Chief,
Simeon Agnot, 68
Funeral services for a former
chief of the Alitak Village, Simeon
Agnot, 68, were held on Sept. 23
at Alitak Village under the direc
tion of the Walt Muller Mortuary.
The deceased was born May 10,
1884, and died Sept. 18.
He was credited with bringing
a reindeer herd to Kodiak Island
in 1921 when 21 animals were
transported here from Kantwell,
Alaska, under his supervision. The
herd now belongs to his heirs. He
was also chief of the Alitak Vil
lage for a period of about 15 years.
Survivors include two sons, Eph
riam and William and two daugh
ters, Miney and Martha. Ten grand
children also survive.
Agnot was a lay priest of the
Greek Orthodox Church in the
Village and burial vestments were
those of a priest.
SATURDAY SIREN
The Civil Defense Siren will be
blown on Saturday, Sept. 29, at
noon, according to local civil de
fense authorities.

the employment office answered
the phone this past week.
On the other end of the line a
gruff voice announced that he
was a farmer and needed some
hoers for the potato harvest.
The shocked girl didn’t quite
understand and asked, “Do you
mean prostitutes?”
“I don’t care what religion
they belong to—just as long as
they are good workers/' the
gruff voice answered.
