Naval Station News
xaasier sergeant Leonard L. Gas
ton, USMC, Marine Corps Recruit
er for Alaska, took a little of his
own advice when he reenlisted for
the fourth time here last week. He
has 19 years of service. Major C.
W. Fitzmaurice, Commanding Offi
cer of the Marine Barracks at the
Naval Station, administered the
oath of reenlistment.
The Easter offerings of the Na
val Station Protestant Congrega
tion will be used to ship over 44
tons of surplus food to famine
stricken areas of the world under
the “Share the Surplus” program
of the National Council of Church
es. Last Sundays offering doubled
the amount contributed for the
same purpose last Christmas.
This “Share the Surplus” pro
gram is jointly sponsored by
CARE, Catholic, Jewish and Prot
estant agencies throughout the
United States. Its aim is twofold
in that it is assisting in alleviating
the critical food surplus in this
country, and in helping to feed the
famine-stricken people throughout
the world.
Cheese, powdered milk, powder
ed eggs and butter are the pro
ducts usually selected for ship
ment, due primarily to their high
food value, and comparatively low
weight.
Max W. Andreas, ME1, USN, was
awarded a letter of Commendation
by Captain W. M. Drane, Naval
Station Commanding Officer.
The award was made for “his
leadership and sound judgement
which greatly expedited various
hull and repair assignments under
taken by the Ships Department
during the period of June 30, 1954,
to April 3, 1956.

First Trophy Seekers
On Kodiak Bear Hunt
The roar of the big game hunt
er’s guns will soon be heard in the
hills of Kodiak Island as the first
group left this week in search of
trophy-sized Kodiak bears. Alf
Madsen, local Big Game Hunting
Guide ,his crew, together with a
party of five hunters left Wednes
day and Thursday for Uganik Bay.
According to Madsen, three boats
will be used during the hunting
operations, which will take ap
proximately two weeks. The North
Cape, with Alex Panamaroff of
Karluk as skipper, and the Polaris
left earlier this week witl*supplies
and a crew of men who will open
up Madsen’s camp at Uganik. Eli
Metrokin, well-known guide, who
has participated in many previous
hunts, will again act in that capaci
ty with Madsen. He, along with
Walter Panamaroff, also a licens
ed guide, Criska Nicoli as assistant
guide and Pete Unger as cook,
have already left for the camp.
Pete Unger operated the former

This first group of hunters in
clude Ted Coleman of Hutchinson,

trip in two years. He was here on
a fall hunt in 1954. Two other
hunters also in the group leaving
this week are V. J. Coleman, said

Texas, and his son Dudley. They
are cattlemen from Ackerley, Tt*•
as. This is their first hunt They

Two other cattlemen from Din

An unusual feature of the hunt
this year will be the use of snow
shoes. Madsen stated he had to lay
in an additional supply of them to
accomodate the party, due to the
high prevalence of snow this yeaT.

ers and piloted by Alf Madsen, left
Thursday for the Uganik camp.
