Crutcher said that the
; people of Kodiak must be
hoarding, as they are else
where, because in the last
three months the Bank has
imported 9,000 half dollars,
10.000 quarters, 35,000 dimes,
46.000 nickels and 60,000
pennies.
The treasury department
pointed out, he added, that
there are enormous quantities
of change held inhome savings
banks and in vending ma
jcljines. If each American
! family will release from hiding
and return to business just 10
pennies, some 1,260 tons of
scarce copper can be saved at
this time, Crutcher added.

Kodiak Ranchers
In Magazine
A full page article on Live
stock on Kodiak Island, illus
trated with two photographs,
appears in the December
issue of The Alaska Farmer,
published by the territorial
department of agriculture.
The article describes the op
portunities for ranching on
the island and says that there i
are “thousands of square miles
of bountiful grass land on
Kodiak. . .which could produce
more beef to the acre than
most of the ranges of the
southwestern United States.”
The photographs show a
group of Kodiak ranchers and
a herd of beef cattle on the
island.

Kadiak Slated
For Rent Con irol
Washington (AJ)—The De
; fense Production Administra
tion has certified six critical
defense housing areas for
rent control, and among them
is Kodiak, which had pre
viously been certified as a
critical housing area.
The certification does not in
I itself invoke rent controls but
[ such action normally follows.
In the Kodiak area, which
includes the entire island,
DPA said, rents have risen
and construction of substan
dard conversion units has be
gjn since October, 1950. V
recent government survey
showed an average increase
of 64 percent in rentals of
non-controlled units ever
comparable controlled units.
“Most housing in Kodiak is
classed as poor in quality. Ac
commodations on the out
skirts are termed "deplor
able’’ the report stated.
Edward Naughton, in the
Army at Ft. Richardson,
spent the holidays with his
mother, Mrs. C. Cm ■.Naughton.
The Garland, westward mail
boat, was in port last week
en route back to Seward.
