AVA And Kodiak
A letter from Frank Whaley,
Managing Director of the Alaska
Visitors Association, informs us
that Kodiak is entitled^ to direct
benefits from the organization.
AVA will foot the complete ex
i-ense for setting-up and printing
6U00 f?68iirtc%ifo<ihures. All we have
to do i£ supply the articles and
: >olos. 2500 of th*s" folders .vould
• c returned to as, and SibOU kept
distribution in their
_„ m response to inquiries about
'Kodiak. We may buy additional
copies at the rate of $225 for 10,000.
As you know, we have an at
tractive Kodiak brochure, prepared
by the Chamber over a year ago.
This is certainly still usuable, but
does not incorporate some of the
added tourist features we will have
by next spring. I feel that the
Chamber will take advantage of
this AVA offer and incorporate the
Naming Governor
Big Speculation
Washington (AP) The Identity
of Heintzleman's successor as gov
ernor of Alaska, if he is selected,
remains a closely guarded secret
at the White House. Heintzlemans
long rumored resignation was ac
' epted by President Eisenhower ef
fective January 3. v
Ileintzieman’s term doesn’t ex
pire until April 10, but the Gover
nor said he wanted to get out and
■ t’- ■ v suggested successor should be on
hand to meet the Legislature. The
fact that his resignation effective
January 3, leads some Alaska ob
servers- here be-believe Administra
tion already has successor in mind.
But if' it has, rfb one in the posi
tion to know are talking about it.
As usual a half dozen names are
being bandied about as possibilities.
Some that are believed interested
are Valter Hickel and Elmer Ras
inusson, both of Anchorage. Other
*io:n.’s put forward included Robert
Atwood, Anchorage Times publish
er; Waino Henrickson, Secretary of
Alaska; William Strand, former
Alaska newspaperman.
The appointment of a ‘‘main
Uindti” will meet almost certain
opposition in Alaska, and possibly
Senate as well, where approval will
be needed to confirm the Presi
dents selection.
KERMIT NOREM RETURNS

The main intent of this article
may not be immediately- clear. It
i3 to stimulate thoatr of you who
are reticent to contribute to AVA
beamser you feel that they do not
do anything for Kodiak. I feel that
the printing of these brochures will
be a major direct contribution
which, coupled with the benefit to
Alaska as a whole should be ade
quate reason for us to support
AVA.
The AVA, drive, under Merrill
Coon, will terminate on January 31.
Get behind it! Kodiak’s history
needs advertising elsewhere be
sides Kodiak and AVA provides
BIG TIME advertizing for nothing!
This, in addition to a direct refund
of 25% of our contribution!

Santa
Air Drop
Completed
Santa arrived a bit early this
Christmas for nearly 400 children
of six remote Alaskan villages. It
wasn’t that the jolly old boy was
in a hurry to get his holiday chores
done but simply that he was being
assisted by some 2000 Navy, Ma
rine, and Coast Guard helpers at
the Kodiak Naval Station.
Nearly a ton of gifts, each one
attractively wrapped and individu
ally prepared, consisted of clothing,
toys, fruits, nuts and Christmas
candy, was dropped yesterday to
the children from low-flying patrol
planes based here.
Six villages and missions were
visited on the “Santa Claus” flights.
They were . Alitak, Old Harbor,
Kaguyak, Ouiinski, Karluk, and
Larsen’s Bay.'
'io the native children of'these
isolated villages Santa Claus is
known as "Dyed Moroz” which
translated means Grandfather
Frost. To ''many of, them this will
be the orrty. Santa Claus that will
remember them this> Christmas.
