POST OFFICE! BE ALERTED!
We have it from, a special corres
pondent in Southeastern Alaska
that genial Jim Brightman of the
Kodiak Outfitters bought radio
time during the recent basketball
I games at Ketchikan to advertise
i his wares. There may be an onrush
> of mail orders coming in any time
now. The correspondent said, it
Iwas “a typical Brightman opera
tion.”
Just when the Bank of Kodiak
announced the payment of a ten
cent premium on every hundred
pennies brought into the bank,
the paper boy who always paid us
us for his weekly supply of papers
in pennies left. Looks like “Torgie”
is getting ready for the sales tax.
For the benefit of those who just
read-the Mirror, and we hope the
tribe increases, quotations were
made on the front page of a main
land paper, as well asuft the Bank
of Kodiak ad, from Statf Nelson’s
famed B- & B ad, all ift one^week.
That Stan “the man” Nelson writes
f literature that is read-There
goes another button off his shirt.

It looks like the Spring breakup
is here in Kodiak. The tons of ice
you see back of Kraft’s store float
ed in from Women’s Bay at the
Naval Station. Old-time residents
say they haven’t seen anything
like it since they were children.
Until we got our eyes open Thurs
day we thought we were up at Pt.
Barrow. A combination of wind
and tide shifted-it from English
Bay, past islands and reefs to its
present location. No, the CG cut
ter or Navy tugs didn’t haul it
there.
Ice in the bay here has raised a
friendly argument. There are many
old residents who say this is the
most ice seen since the days they
used to walk across the channel to
Near Island. Others have pictures
to substantiate their contention
that there was more ice in 1947.
What do you think?

Do you want to cut the cost of
driving your car. All you have to
do is drive it more. A study of
American Automobile Association
figures on the cost of car opera
* tion show that the more an auto
f is driven the cheaper it gets by
| the mile. The reason is that de
preciation costs, insurance and li
i cense fees remain virtually the
same if a car is driven one mile
' or thousands. These fees account
| for nearly fifty per cent of the
, cost of operating a car. For a fami
i ly of three the cost is 5.2 cents if
i the car is driven 5000 miles a year.
1 If the mileage is increased to
15,000 a year ,the cost per mile for
each member of the family is 2.5
| cents a mile—less than half. The
, moral is: Don’t put off that trip
to Chiniak, Passagshak or Larsen’s
Bay any longer. Even a trip to Fort
Abercrombie will help whittle the
cost down.

Bank of Kodiak’s birthday can
dle, which is burning during bank
ing hours each day, will net some
one a substantial sum when it is
burned out. This being the 16th
birthday anniversary, the novel
idea was conceived of burning a
candle and have patrons guess how
long it would take to burn out. Ac
cording to Torgie, Bank President,
a lot of interest has been shown,
but the winner will not be an
nounced of course, until there is
no more candle left.
