EDITORIAL
The Conservation Club at Kodiak Naval Station has a,
program to increase the trout population and make Kodiak j
the “finest trout fishing spot in the world.” Such an under
taking is laudable and worthy of merit of every sport fisher
man.
However, recent instances of seining trout at Mission >
Beach by sailors and civilian emoloyees of KNS seem to us to
be one step toward tearing down all the Conservation Club’s
fine work.
There is nothing illegal about seining for “sea-going
dolly”. Tne FvVS cannot order it to be halted because there
are no regulations covering the taking of such game fish in
salt water. However, the FW3 does limit the number of fish
that can be taken on sporting tackle in fresh water.
It seems there should be some understanding between
local “sportsmen” and the Conservation Club. Why should the
KNS group work to make Kodiak Island a sport fisherman’s
paradise if a few short-sighted and selfish individuals are go
ing to take the game fish by commercial means?
An application for a mar
riage license has been made by
Robert Lynn Sowder an 1 Shir
ley B. Olson, both of the naval
station.
Mrs. Bea Nachtvveih and
E. E. Erwin were FNA pas
sengers for Anchorage last
Friday. They returned the
following day.

Town Tidbits
The parents of a two yea:
old child, now learning to par
rot everything they say, have
tried frantically to cut the
word “goddam” from fhei
vocabulary, especially since
junior has been quick to re
peat it.
One recent day, mother
read the Three Bears to baby,
who went around all after
noon muttering “land sakes”,
as the mother bear did when
she found someone had been
in her chair.
So when father came home,
mother asked baby to tell him
what the mother bear said
after seeing the evidence of
Goldilocks, and junior, with
out batting an eye, announced
“goddam”. . .
An ardent local fisherman,
who ordered a mail order fish
ing rod, got over-excited when
a long, cylindrical package ar
rived from Sears-Roebuck.
Not stopping to think that
he’d ordered from Monkey

knife, slit the wrapper, and
opened the package.
Slightly the worse for knife,
appeared the new white win
dow shade his wife had or
dered for the bathroom! It
was four days before he mus
tered courage to take the cut
up shade home. . .
