And this reminds us that among
other things we have inadvertently
overlooked was the fabulous wed
ding reception held at Phil Ander
son’s “Sugar Shad; Ranch” for
Rocky and Ju’y Monroe’s wedding
reception. With most everybody at
tired in beachcomber attire and
the ladies in muumuus and shifts
it twas a memorable Hawaiian
Luau!

Jac\ Frisie of the San Francisco
Chrori'clc has been in and around
Kodiak for the past week and be
came greatly interested in our fish
eries particularly the king crab
and Dmrensss fisheries, and, our
troubles with the foreign fleet in
vasions hereabouts. He became so
interested in fact that he finally
decided to go out on a crab boat
and see what it all is like for him
self. We arranged for him to board
Skipper Doug Putansu’s Mary Carol
Wednesday midnight. Hope he is
having a smooth trip!

Ed Ophiem from over Ouzinkie
way may have wondered who it
was that buzzed his house in a
llane several weeks ago. In case he
hasn’t found out yet, it was his
eldest brother Olaf who has been
away from Kodiak many years and
was flying down to Cherikof Island
.‘o attempt to bring out a barge
"or the Cherikof Cattle Co. Due to
c onstant 75 to 100 mph winds which
weathered him in there for almost
a month, he didn’t succeed and
’■eturned to Anchorage.

How to succeed
in snow business.
It's easy. Get a truck with:
(a) Ah air-cooled engine in back.
t>) The initials VW In front.
And there you are: a roaring success in the
MOW.
The weight of the Volkswagen engine sits
directly over the drive wheels.
So you go, while others grunt.
(For years people have put sandbags in sedan
trunks for the same reason.)
Fight inches of snow is considered tractable
for o VW. It plows through mud, sand and slush
fust as easily^Fulty loaded,
t (Fully loaded means 1830 lbs. Nearly twice the
load of regular trucksJ
And once you get through the drifts, you'll also
get 20 to 30 mpg.
And a truck that will never freeze up. Of boil
over, either.
(So how would you rather lie pushed?'
By on engine In the rear?,
Or by your friends?

We learn from the Cook Inlet
Courier that the Homer small boat
harbor is plagued seriously with
ice. Vessels moored there whose
owners were in the vicinity moved
out of the basin en masse.

We have received notes from sev
eral people in the mail: Ann and
Jim Imlach of Zacher Bay sent us
a postcard recently from Eugene,
Ore. . . . said to say “Hi!” to all
and “we will see you all about
February.” Also Jack Fenswick’s
many friends here may like to
know that Jack is anxious to re
turn to Kodiak. Told us to keep a
lookout for a berth on a crab boat.
Jack, although youthful, has a fish
ing background and just recently
finished the halibut season in the
Sand Point area. His address is
