Continue the Campaign
The City of Kodiak’s campaign to remove the rodent
population here will be continued soon when a city employee
starts replenishing baiting stations established last month by
the Navy Epidemiology Survey team.
The new “wonder” rodenticide Warfarin was used by
the Navy team in the first baiting and proved successful.
However, the bait stations must be kept supplied with the
poison at all times so that the rats are not given a chance to
reproduce.
A supply of the poison is now at the city garage and
may be obtained by contacting the city clerk. Everyone in
Kodiak can help exterminate the rats and thereby eliminate
the worst carrier of Weils Disease.
The Navy took the first step to clean up the town and
rid it of rats. We are morally obligated to continue the pro
gram. If there is a baiting station on your property, obtain
some ot the poison and replenish the station. The poison is
not dangerous to children or pets when used correctly.
Do your part in stamping out Weils Disease in Kodiak.
Get some Warfarin and replenish that baiting station on your
property.
I Easter Greetings
May the coming of this Holy
Day lift your heart and may
you find peace and comfort in
the beauty and magnificence
of your church this Easter
Sunday.

WHAT GOES HERE
It’s a hydrofoil boat, operated by its builder, Allyn B.
Hazard of San Gabriel, Calif. The craft skims along two feet
above the water’s surface on small sections of sheet metal at
tached to two struts forward and to the shaft of the outboard
motor, at speeds up to 40 miles an hour. It works as well in
rough water as in smooth, and Hazard believes it can be
adapted to water taxis and other short-haul passenger carry
ing vessels. (A’wirephoto)
