Building Needed
Unless a suitable place is found for the concerts, spon
sored by the Kodiak Chapter of the Alaska Music Trails Con
cert Association, the local chapter plans to disband until the
new school gymnasium is built.
During the past year the Kodiak Chapter of the AMTC
A has provided the town with three concerts by famous
artists of concert and opera caliber. The local chapter is sus
tained by the sale of season tickets. The chapter is a non
profit organization and the $630 surplus in the treasury is to
be spent on a six foot parlor grand piano for the school.
The first two concerts were held at the Orpheum
Theatre. The last one was held in the gymnasium at Kodiak
.Naval Station. The acoustics in the Navy gym are not con
sidered favorable for concerts.
Kodiak’s music lovers have enjoyed the three concerts
that have been given here. It is regrettable that such a
worthy enterprise must expire because no suitable building is
available.
Anyone having a suggestion where a concert could be
held should Contact a member of the local chapter.
Seven members of the Coast
Guard Detachment at Kodiak
Naval Station spent five days
in the Yakutat-YaKataga area
on an assistance mission this
week.
Lt. M. H. Handley and
Chief F. B. Wright, pilots of
the CG PBY flown during the
mission, and W. A. Clubb,
Clifford Taylor, L. W. Rapson,
D. H. Fisher and R. W. Pat
terson worked with the CG
Cutter Kiml all in removing
seven persons from the LCI
SR-9 which went aground
near Yakataga.
