Last Chance
The failure of Kodiak residents to participate in the
Current Clean Up Drive may result in another local outbreak
of Weils Disease.
The annual c'ean up drive this year was described by a
«ity official as a “dismal failure”. Today is the last day of the
drive. By getting an early start and piling yotr debris near j
.road you are still in time to make one of the free pick ups. t
Rats, carriers of the dread disease, nest in piles of old j
lumber, rubbish and other dtbris. Eliminate these nesting (
places and help keep down the disease Kodiak has always had
a“surplus” of old rotti ig lumber and trash and is now passing j
up a chance to get rid of it.
Do your part. Pile it near the road this morning and j
the pick up crews will take it away without charge.

iin told the Rotary Club Tues-'
day
Miss Bueklin, secretary of
Missions for the American
Home Baptist Society, was
principal speaker following
the luncheon at the Mont
martre Inn.
She told of the transfer
from the “institution plan” to
the “cottage plan” in the su
pervision and administration
of the Kodiak Baptist Mission.
When the Mission was first
started on Woody Island it
was under the institution plan
whereby they had different
barracks for the boys and
girls. The present cottage plan
has both the boys and girls in
a house under the supervision
of their “parents”.
The parents are a man and
wife team and the headquart
ers in New York perfer them
to have children of their own ^
so that their natural children
can live at the cottage with
them. Miss Bueklin said the
plan was working out and
made the children of the mis
sion feel more secure.
Guests other than Miss
Bueklin attending the meeting
were Harry Do.nelley, Jack
Simpson, Guy Terry and visit
