Fireworks Over island
Cause Alarm
Pyrotechnics o’ e • Holiday
Island Saturday nignt alerted
the Navy base and brought
several calls to the local police.
Red, white and yellow
flares were observed in the
sky between 9 and 10 pm.
Plying saucer addicts and
followers of Charles Fort were
over joyed. Their elation was
short lived. The colorful dis
play was caused by two small
children firing a few Roman
candles left over from the
Fourth of July.
Mrs. Ben Kraft set off the
fireworks for her grand
children, Feather and Jackie
Mann.

Local Company Builds
All-Steel Float For CAA
A new all-steel float and
ramp for the CAA station on
Woody Island is now under
construction at the Kodiak
Welding Works.
The 10 by 60 foot floating
dock will be placed alongside
the present wooden dock at
Woody and an all steel ramp
will run from the too of the
present dock to the new float.
The new float is supported
by two 60-foot watertight
j cylinders, 38 inches in dia
j meter. The cylinders are in
j 15 foot sections with water
i tight bulkheads. Thev will be
.air tested before being in
stalled.
Sheets of five by 10 foot
steel were rolled at the weld
ing works and welded inside
and out to form the 15 foot
sections.
The deck of the steel con
structed float will be of three
inch by 12 foot planks. The
steel ramp will have li inch
hand rails.
Many curious spectators
have asked W. J. Wheeldon
and Morris Burnham what
they were building. When
they tell them it’s an all-steel
float many have shied away or
"raised a skeptical eye brow.
“I now tell tljem it’s a back
drop for a theater or a part
for the vault at the bank,”
Wheeldon said yesterday.
Eight pilings will be driven
tojkeep the new float in place
at Woody Island according to
the plans at the welding
works.

some of the wounds of the:
bitter convention wrangling;

nor.
Both yielded to Stevenson
at the conclusion of the third
ballot when Stevenson needed
only three ballots for the nom
ination. |
