Baby Flown Here
From Perryville
A Coast Guard PBY flew to
Perryville Monday, despite
the high winds and frequent
gusts, and brought a two
months old baby to Kodiak for
medical attention.
A letter from Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips, parents of the baby,
was sent to Dr. A. Holmes
Johnson describing the con
dition of the child.
The PBY departed from the
Navy station at 8:30 am and
returned from the 500 mile
flight at 4:30 pm. A Navy
Corpsman was on the flight to
cari for the baby.
Pilots of the plane were Lt.
jg. M. H. Handley and Lt.
William Murphy. The radio
message for assistance was
sent by Edward Kogan, A- J
laska Native Service teacher,
at Perryville. Mr. and Mrs.
Rogan are former teachers of
the Kodiak Public School.
Because of weather condi
tions the PBY had to make
the flight on instruments.
Crewmen other than the pilots
were A. Morris, C. Graff, W.
Corbett and R. Borden.
High winds Sunday blew in
one of the large front windows

Fire Sweeps
Apartments
A fire in the former Whitt
ington Apartments on Alaska
Way was quickly brought
under control by the Volunteer
Fire Department around noon
Saturday.
| The fire is believed to have
started in a clothes closet.
I Damage to the furniture and
I interior of the building was
estimated at around $8,000.
The fire siren sounded close
to the time the regular 12 o’
clock whistle blows. Many
persons thought it was the
1 noon whistle.
| The firemen had the fire
! under control shortly after the
| trucks arrived at the scene.
The fire was not completely
out until later.
1 On Sunday the fire depart
ment went to a residence on
Taguara road in answer to a
call. There was no damage.
The siren sounded on Sunday
around 1 pm.
A spokesman for the fire
department has cautioned
residents regarding inspection
of chimneys and flues. High
