Kodiak Banker Takes |
Chance on Croc1".
i
The Bank of Kodiak goe' !
right along with Wi.aam
Shakespeare, who once pro
claimed, “A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet.”
Last week, bank president
Marshall Crutcher, with a non
chalant indifference to what’s
in a name, hired Thomas
Crooks of Juneau as bank
cashier.
The Kodiak Mirror, island
newspaper, with tongue in
cheek, headlined the story,
“Crooks Added to Bank Staff.”
Seward Cement Plant
To Be Ready Aug. 22
Construction on the planned
cement plant at Seward began
last week, and is being rushed
with all possible speed. Owners
hope to have the waterfront plant
ready by Aug. 22, when the first
load of bulk cement will arrive
in Seward.
The plant, being installed by
Superior Portland Cement, Inc.,
is utilizing all local materials pos
sible, and is employing only local
men. The Portland firm recently
was awarded a $373,000 contract
for cement to be used at Eielson
base at Fairbanks.
Neplunes Based at Kodiak
A squadron of long-range Navy
planes, the Neptunes, is now
based on Kodiak, it was reported
last week. These planes are espe
cially designed to combat snorkel
type submarines. The airships
carry super-sensitive radar equip
ment and are armed with cannon,
rockets, torpedoes, mines, bombs
and depth charges.
Coming Events

field committee members.
