Christmas is only 19 days away and little if any of the*
traditional Kodiak Christmas spirit is in evidence.
Most of the stores have assumed holiday garb but few
of the local organizations and social clubs have announced
plans for celebrating Christmas. However, the Kodiak Ro
tary Club will give their annual Christmas Kiddies Party at
the Orpheum Theatre this year but the big Christmas tree is
missing from the local scene.
A good way to invoke the Christmas spirit is to pur.
chase Christmas seals. The annual sale of the pretty little
stickers is now on. Buy some today . . . you will help some un
fortunate, person and at the same time heip in the nation
wide fight against tuberculosis. 1

The July-August issue of
Outdoor America contains ex
cerpts of a talk given by
Clarence Rhode, Alaskan
regional director of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service,
that will curl the hair of local
cattlemen and fishermen.
Here are a few pertinent re
marks: “Said he (Rhode),
‘Some people’s idea of de
velopment is to burn or log off
the timber, mine off the mine
rals and kill off the fish and
game, and then stand back
and say, “now we have pio
neered and developed the
country. Let the softies take
over”, That has happened too
often in the states, and could
even happen m Alaska.’
“Because of the close tie-in
between fish and wildlife re
sources is always closely in
volved in political campaigns,
reported Rhode. He stated
that all the talk you hear
about the possibilities of agri
cultural development in Alaska
completely overlook the fact
that by nature most of the
land in the Territory is not
suitable for agriculture. ‘A lot
of Alaska will not support
anything,’ he said.
wnue we nave oyu.uuu
square miles, a lot of it is
covered with ice and moun
tains.’ He went on to describe
the conflict between 15 cattle
raisers who want all the Ko
diak brown bears killed off
Kodiak Island so that they can
grow cattle ‘on ranee which is
not particularly suitable for
cattle or sheep production’ in
the first place. The commercial
fishermen would like to have
all the bears killed too,' he
said, ‘and friends of the bears
would like to have all the com
mercial fishermen killed. We
are right in the middle."
Ed. note: We wonder if Mr.
Rhode has ever seen any of
the cattle grown on Kodiak Is
land. We have not commented
on his remarks regarding the
killing off’’ of the bears and
fishermen. We will let those
two ‘‘groups’’ make their own
comments.
Will there be a Christmas
tree this year is an often
heard question this week. Last
year the Kodiak Rotary Club
sponsored the project md a
fine big tree was set up in the
lot between Dad's Barber
Shop and the Log Cabin Liq
uor Store. Maybe the Christ
mas spirit is late this year.
The following is from The
Alaska Liner, Alaska Steam
ship Company monthly bul
letin: ‘‘John Titus decided he
didn’t want to run for mayor
of Kodiak atid is back in An
chorage. He plans to go out
side for his vacation in De
cember. Kodiak must have
been too much for him."
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Campbell gave Frank R. Ran
dall a warranty deed for a
part of lot 10, block 3, Kodiak
townsite and it has been re
corded.
