compete with one from the
al Station. Last year the Fort
Richardson team won the Alaskan
Armed Forces meet in Anchorage.
While providing stiff competition
for Kodiak's schussers, the soldiers
will undoubtedly give spectators
an exhibition at fine skiing tech
nique.
The meet got underway yester
day with the cross-country race, a
grueling six mile course calling
tot both skill and stamina.
Today’s event is the downhill
race and, snow conditions permit
ting, skiers will push off (starting
at 1:00 p. m.) down the steep side
of Pyramid Mountain. This will be
the first race off of lofty Pyramid?
and should provide thrills and
spills for the spectators as well as
a challenge to the racers.
The finale will be Sunday’s
slalom. This is a race down a
mountain following a course de
fined by flags. Such a course in
cludes various series of turns
which compel the competitors to
combine maximum speed with fine
precision and execution of turns.

Kodiak Airways
By Ben Benson
Have you ever been in Kodiak,
Or traveled around it by air.
j You’re sure to have seen it’s Air
ways
On Tagura thoroughfare.
5 Jt was started by Mr. Robert Hall,
‘ In the year of’48.
With one little old Sea Bee,
A little one engine crate.*
But now he operates Wildgeons
And has newer planes in view.
That will take the place, of the
Widgeons,
I’m sure they’ll surprise all of you.
Now I’d like ypu to meet this Mr.
Hall,
And the rest of this airway gang.
There all a little goofy*
So pardon the use of the slang.
Mr. Hall is the Boss man,
And he’s'a regular guy.
He only owns the outfit,
But still he’ll get out and fly.
Now Gil is the Chief Pilot,
And knows the Island too.
So if you want to take a trip,
I’m sure he’ll take you through.
And there is Pilot Cratty,
A happy go lucky guy. 1
He hates to work in the hangar (
But loves to get out and fly. ^
Now Tommy is a Pilot Mechanic, -
And knows his airplane trade. 1
He loves to talk of airships,
And is willing to give his aid. {
Ray is the latest Pilot I
To come to this airway crew. I
He does a good job of flying,
And likes it up in the blue.
’> »• '
Howard isthe bookkeeper,
And knpws his figures too.
He does a little dispatching,
When tiie planes are in, the blue.
And Andy is the Handy Man,
Who gasses and oils the Ships,
But he'd rather drive the Chevy,
Than load the planes for trips.
Jay was the Chief Mechanic
And B.pss of the hangar crew.
Bubhe,will overhaul instruments
And see that they axe true.
A1 Dickow will take over the hang
ar.
As head of maintenance too.
He knows this airplane racket,
And will see that the work goes
through.
Vow Ralph is just a little guy,
And works with the hangar crew.
Je also helps the Pilots,
3ut cleans the hangar, too.
tnd Louie is the wood butcher,
tnd cuts a real straight line,
le built the Airways Office,
t sure does look fine.
)h, yes, there is Edith,
Vho works in the office too.
he does a lot of typing,
tnd mails the bills to you.
low I work for this Airways,
ls part of the hangar crew’,
m not an airplane mechanic,
ut just plain Ben to you.
