Kodiak Boat Harbor
Still an Uncertainty
H. L. Moats, chief of civil
works branch, Alaska district,
visited Kodiak this week at the
request of the Chamber of Com
merce to discuss the need of a
small boat harbor for Kodiak.
The Alaska district of the U. S.
Corps of Engineers recognize the
need of such a harbor, but the
project must be authorized and
the money appropriated by Con
gress before any action can be
taken, Moats said.
Moats pointed out that the
Army Engineers are now making
a comprehensive survey of such
projects in Alaska. The Tanana
and Copper River Basin surveys
will be completed this year, a re
port covering Southeastern Alas
ka will be made in 1951 and one
covering the Alaskan peninsula
and Kodiak will be made in 1951.
It was suggested that if the
city of Kodiak could obtain mon
ey for the survey, it might be
possible for the Corps of Engi
neers to proceed with the work
immediately. In such an event
the survey could be completed
and ready for congressional con
sideration by next spring.

Four Kodiak Scouts and their
Scoutmaster who started out for
a cruise on Manashka Bay ran
into a difficulty they had not an
ticipated. They anchored their
boat at Devil’s Bay and went
ashore for a bit of exploring, but
on their return they discovered
the boat had drifted onto a sand
bar instead of staying properly
anchored.
Two of the boys hiked into
town to report their plight. The

Youth Problems Studied
By Alaskan Commission
The problems of Alaska’s 33,000
children under 18 years of age are
to be considered this year by the
Alaska Commission on Children
and Youth (the territorial coun
terpart of the White House Con
ference on Children and Youth).
It is the goal of the commission
to study Alaskan children and
to help them receive the best
services possible in the fields of
education, health, welfare, labor
and recreation.
In nearly 100 Alaskan commu
nities there is a local committee
to study the problems of the area’s
children and youth. As a part of
the territorial program, a series
of articles has been planned by
George F. Crisman, executive
secretary of the Alaska Commis
sion. These informative articles
will appear weekly in the Valley
Frontiersman. “The articles will

There was no damage to the
