does not have the widespread and
serious narcotics problems encoun
tered in many areas.
Alaska, for some time past, ac
cording to the Report, has had an
unusually high incidence of the
crime of “driving while intoxicat
ed.” During 1954 arrests for this
offense, per 100,000 population,
were four times the national aver
age.
Is crime seasonal? How does
crime in Alaska compare with that
of the U. S ? The report states:
“Crime patterns throughout the
United States generally indicate
a higher frequency of ‘Crime
against the person’ occuring dur
ing the summer months, and simi
larly, a higher incidence of ‘crime
against property’ during the win
ter months. This pattern is not
discern able in Alaska; both types
of offense appear to be at the
highest frequency during the late
summer and early fall.”
Here are some figures on the
local crime scene, furnished by
Chief of Police Vickery. They are
yearly totals. You can make your
own comparisons with the rest of

WEATHER RECORDS
(Continued from Page 1)
due to our geographic position,
which is quite westward, we have
been facetiously described as “the
banana belt.” Without the winds
Kodiak would be just that. As
Graham states: “As the wind vel
ocity increases, the chill factor in
creases.” That explains it. Now
you know why you were cold this
last week.
All this information is compiled
and sent as chronological sum
maries to a central weather agency
which is located in Ashville, North
Carolina. The daily data is, of
course used to determine local fly
ing conditions.
A weather forecaster in this area
has a much more difficult time
predicting the weather for a
twenty-four hour period or even
less, than say the weatherman in
Florida, .Burmuda or California,
for instance. What do you think
his average for being right would
be? Graham states they have
chalked up a score of being right
about 75 per cent of the time.
This is quite impressive. The
Weather Bureau average for the
nation is 85 per cent. As evident,
it requires the weather perform
ance facts for previous years to
successfully predict, but Lt, Gra
ham doesn’t discount the opinions
of natives,who he says are surpris
ingly right in their forecasts.
There you have it. When you
feel like complaining about the
weather, think of England and
Europe where chilly winds and
storms have left over 800 dead,
the various parts of the United
States, where storms have caused
untold damage, or our neighbor on
the mainland, Anchorage, where
considerable damage has been
caused the past few weeks by
the winds. Anyway, Spring and
Summer are just around the
corner.
