Those who assisted in the
“Operation Mike” program a few
years ago, might be interested to
learn that Mike Niemi is still at
tending school, and is progressing
I nicely. He is the boy, as most of
you know, who was accidently
shot, paralysing his back. Through
k the fund raising campaign and due
to other sponsors, he was able to
overcome the handicap imposed on
him by the accident, and by steady
plugging, he reached the point
where he appeared before the
Board of Examiners recently and
after three hours of uninterupted
examination, was awarded his 2nd
Class Commercial Radio operator's
license. He will remain in the radio
school until July 31, to complete
the course.
Mike says he has been trying to
get on the air (in Tacoma) with a
little “peanut whistle” sending set.
He says “It isn’t too much in reach
ing out, but it certainly causes a
lot of television interference for
blocks around.” Then he says: “I’ll
sure be glad to get back home
where I won’t have to bother with
television interference.” Mike will
probably find that civilization has
caught up with him when he re
turns to Kodiak sometime in Aug
ust, for TV ought to be going
great guns by then.

Have you ever thought of get
ting you hand caught by the nip
pers of a live crab? Even those
small Dungenes crab can be pain
ful. While on the wharf at D and
A the other day, we heard some
blood-curdling yowls and looking
in the direction of the sound, wit
nessed a big dog with a crab firm
ly attached to his mouth. Fortun
ately for him the owner wasn’t far
away. After he had detached the
clinging crab, the dorg thereupon
picked it up again, but this time
in the right place, and had no
more trouble. Even dogs learn by
the painful method of trial and
error.

Business as usual—well, almost
as usual, was the order of the day
last Tuesday. D and A was in semi
darkness in the middle of the
afternoon when trouble developed
with the power circuit, but the old
fashioned kerosene lamp and can
k dies saved the day, and activities,
• though modified in tempo, went
> along anyway. The editor of this
’ column enjoyed talking to the per
sonnel in the darkened office, rem
inescing about the days when all
reading and writing had to be done
by means of the lighted lamp. On
returning to his own desk, how
ever, he found he had to bank out
copy by the light of candles. The
KEA boys soon had the power
back on, and the insatiable appe
tite of the linotype could once
more be satisfied.

The main cause of power failure
was due to the salt spray on the
transformers. They had to be
washed down, and to accomplish
this, were shut off temporaritly.
