Kirk Stone Helps Plan
Alaskan Census
Word received from Kirk
Stone, geographer from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin who last
summer worked on a study of
the colony and economic condi
I
tions in the Valley, reports that
the revised edition of that study
has now been completed. Both
Don L. Irwin, head of the Agri
cultural Research Administra
tion, and James Hurley, general
manager of the Alaska Rural Re
habilitation Corporation, have
received copies of the report.
During the past year Mr. Stone
has completed his doctorates
work. He has recently been ap
pointed as Alaskan consultant to
the Geography Division of the
Bureau of the Census and is
planning for the business, popu
lation and agricultural census
soon to get under way in the
territory.
This latter work is expected to
bring Mr. Stone back to the Val
ley sometime in August.
COFFEY INSURES EVERY
THING — REMEMBER?

Carrying Christmas to Kotzebue
Raying Santa in the summer is one of
our most satisfying tasfs.
Thi*' job is to transport the things that
will mean a Merry Christmas next December
to the people of the Bering Sea and Arctic
areas.
Of course that is only a small part of the
program. The ships we send North during
the summer carry all the basic supplies these
people require during the long winter ahead.
f
This includes not only the necessities of
hfe, but also the equipment and material
essential to the operation of their industries.
This is a big responsibility. We take it
seriously because we know our friends in
the North depend on us.
At the same time, were sentimental
enough to get a kick out of knowing that
we’re making possible a Happy Christmas
for the families of Kotzebue and other sec
tion* of the far North.
