pause on the other end of the line,
and the voice came back, this time
asking a question, “Is this the
Bank of Kodiak, or the Community
Baptist Church?”

We carried an item in the Mir
ror a couple. of weeks ago on a
question‘Jfhat came up in the ear
Ifef Stages of the Constitutional
Convention. It was a question of
secret regards to committee
meetings, whether the public
should be allowed to sit in on
them. Jessen’s Weekly of Fair
banks, after a little research came
up with the information that when
the United States Constitution was
framed, the meetings were held in
absolute secrecy. Sentries were
posted at the doors to prevent any
one from eavesdropping. Further
more a colleague was detailed to
accompany the aged Benjamin
Franklin, noted for his tongue wag
ging under certain conditions,‘with
a t view to checking that' amiable
gentleman whenever, in unguarded
moments, he threatened to divulge
secrets of state.” , ' ]

A very informative edition on
Alaska is put out by the Fairbanks ,
News-Miner. It is celled “This is
Alaska,” and the sixth annual pro
gress editrOn printed by this pro
gressive far north paper. Much in
formation can be gleaned from
reading its pages, on the past his
tory and the present day Alaska.
A short article on cattle ranches on
Kodiak, however, did not go; far
enough into the subject, and did
not give an adequate picture of
the development of this important
industry here.
Members - of the Toastmasters
Club are going to be so well in
formed on so many .subjects that
they will be able to answer you-on
any subjects you may .wish an an
swer. FoHnstance, in course of ohe
evening, four able speakers ad
dressed the group on such subjects
as “The Anthropology of Kodiak
Island,” “The Alcoholic*” “The
Brotherhood of Man” and “Ko
diak’s Finest Raw Material.” Do |
you know what the latter is? j

Had n chat with Lt. H. R. Upton,
USN, in charge of the District Pub
lic Information Office on the Naval
Station. She hajls frpm New Hamp
shire; and has been around. It
takes someone like her to tell us
Kodiakans that we have scenery
here to rank with the Canadian
Rockies, fish to make a fishermans
paradise, climate mild, and an
abundance of wildflowers, besides
sa many other tourist attractions,
rolled into one package, and very
accessable. She said she could find
out very little about Kodiak before
coming here, and never dreamed
it was such a beautiful spot. She
wants to “shoot” a bear,, but with
a camera, not a gun, and compile
material for feature stories about
Kodiak. She also paints as a hobby i
and thinks Kodiak is a “natural” |
for the artist.
