A Worthy Organization
One organization in town which receives no publicity
yet quietly and consistently helps many needy and unfortun
ate persons and families is the Kodiak Health and Welfare
Council.
This organization has been in existence for only a few
years yet in a short time has compiled a record that is un
equaled and unexcelled. It is comprised of one, or more, rep
resentaiives from almost every social, civic and fraternal or
ganization in town. The representatives elect a president,
secretary-treasurer and other officers who direct the good
work.
The nature of the work performed by the council de
mands that it received no publicity for public recognition
would jeopardize its many functions. The members work
without compensation and in many instances receive no
thanks from the ones they aid.
Scarcely a week passes without the council aiding a
needy person or family, helping secure medical attention or
providing assistance in some way.
The Kodiak Health and Welfare Council is made up of
our friends and neighbors who are the very backbone of
every small town. We salute them for their unselfish work
and efforts.
The mingling of the old with the new in Kodiak was
epitomized nicely, this week by an eight year old boy. He was
observed charging down the street with a grey Confederate
Civil War cap on his head and a Buck Rogers super ray gun
in his hands.

KEA Staff Find*
“Flying Saucer”
Although it has been
variously identified as a minia
ture flying saucer, a part of a
mine, and a float from a
super-submarine, the nature
of an elliptical object found
several weeks ago by John
Chya of the KEA is still
actually a mystery.
The ellipsoid, found by
Chya near Spruce Cape, is
about two feet wide at its
widest diameter, has a hole
through the middle like a
donut, has several little air
spigots, is of corroded copper,
yellow in color, and weighs
about 10 or 12 pounds.
No one knows what it is,
and those who have seen it
want to know.
This week, an interested
naval officer took it to the
base, carried it from one end
of the statio*j-ti> another, only
to bring it back to the KEA,
still unidentified. Men who’d
been in the navy or coast
guard for 20 years had never
seen its likes, he reported.
Anyone who can explain the
object is welcome and urged
to try. It is on display in the
KEA office on Tagura rd.
