Dear editor:
The enclosed clipping (see
below) from the New York
TIMES of October 11, 1S52,
was called to my attention by
some past residents of the is
land. Having lived there 1947
19, I thought of passing it on
to you for whatever pain or
pleasure it may cause you.
Unless things have changed
considerably in the past three
years I’m sure (1) that there
I are public telephones on Ko
diak or (2) that there, aren’t
enongh servicemen there, with
the m ney to phone. But I
leave that up to you to deter
mine.
There is also the moot point
of Kodiak’s being a ‘‘bleak Is
and” and so forth. As I re
member its rather lush down
in the flats during the sum
mer.
I wouldn’t suggest writing
either the TIMES or the USO
in New York as regards this
matter, since I strongly doubt
that they could find anyone
who reads Eskimo well enough
to translate your letter.
Sincerely,
(s) Bruce D. Larkin
Reprinted herewith is the
clipping enclosed in the letter.
HOMETOWN, U. S. A.
Most of us don’t give a
newspaper, a telephone or
phone directory a second
thought. But for G. I.s sta
tioned in Alaska these com
monplace items are more pre
cious than mink coats.
Take the phone in the USO
center on Kodiak Island, for
example. No public phones
exist on this bleak island,
noted chiefly for its bears and
bare winters. The result is
that G. I.s line up for hours to
get their hands on the USO
phone, which serves as their
most intimate link with loved
ones in the states.
“Home away from home”!
really means what it says at I
the USO center in Alaska.
Keep it that way by contri
buting generously to the New
York USO Defense Fund, 89

Mr. and Mrs. William Stone
and Miss Mary Setzekorn of
the Kodiak Baptist Mission re
turned to Kodiak early this
I week after attending the five
day Regional Child’s Welfare
I Conference in Palmer.
J. C. Dodd’ Department
Service Officer for the Terri
torial VFW, is in Kodiak this
week to confer with veterans.
He plans to leave by plane
today.
Barometer and surrounding
mounti.!ns were covered with
snow this week. J'hin coats of
ice on ditches and puddles
were seen on several morn
ings.
In Anchorage snowfall
snarled traffic and caused sev
eral accidents. Alaska . Road
Commission trucks were out
sanding the slippery streets.
