WASTED PROTECTION
The most modern piece df fire fighting equipment in the
City of Kodiak *s parked in the city garage at the city dock
and is not ready for use.
A Jeep Pumper, the latest in fire fighting equipment,
arrived here several months ago for use in connection with
the Civil Defense program. With cold weather and the turn
ing up of oil stoves and heaters the danger of fires is greatly
increased.
This jeep pumper should be kept in readiness for im
mediate action in the event of a big fire. The city has two ole
fire trucks. They have served their purpose and the *itj
needs new equipment. The jeep pumper should be housec
downtowp in case one of the city trucks has a breakdown.
We do not propose that the jeep pumper be added t<
the city fire department. It was sent here for civil defense
purposes, but in the evert of an emergency it would certainly
come in handy and might save a lot of property.
THIEVES IN THE NIGHT
Officials of Aleutian Homes. Inc. are preparing to tak<
drastic action unless property pilferage at the site of tht
homing ptoject comes to a sudden halt.
Thousands of dollars worth of property have been re
moved from the area. Building materials, including doors
plumbing equipment, tile, siding, lumber, metal materials anc
tools have been disappearing for several weeks at an alarm
ing rate.
If the stealing continues it is probable that a house tc
house check of every dwelling in the Kodiak area may b<
made by a federal law enforcement agency.
Business houses, organizations, and persons

■ Marie Anderson, secretary;
Barbara Moffit, treasurer;
