KODIAK CHAMBER HAS
FUN, BUT NO MONEY
TO PAY THE BILL
Kodiak’s Chamber of Com
merce, too, has been having more
fun than the pocketbook would
stand, a financial report at the or
ganization’s last meeting showed.
Like the Valley Chamber of Com
merce, the Kodiak membership
fell $200 short of meeting its ob
ligations through participation in
a city-wide festival of fun on the
Fourth of July. Valley Chamber
members learned last week that
$150 had been expended on Col
ony Day in excess of the pro
gram’s receipts.
The Kodiak Chamber head ap
pointed a committee to decide
what could be done. The Valley
organization solved its problem
last week, when it was decided to
sponsor a turkey raffle for some
time in October.

Lake Resident Gets
Lost in Fog
WASILLA — Last Tuesday’s
dense fog on Lake Lucille gave
Mrs. Courtney Fleming some very
unpleasant memories to recall
someday for her grandchildren.
Mrs. Fleming was lost for several
hours in the fog that blanketed
the lake.
She started from her home, on
the west end of Lake Lucille, to
Hallea Lodge by boat. The fog
settled down so thickly that she
lost her way completely. Mrs.
Fleming beached the boat at sev
eral spots to try to orient herself.
Finally she pulled the boat to
shore and decided to walk along
the lake’s edge.
She had advanced only a little
way, when her feet slipped into
a well trodden trail. She fol
lowed the path and soon, to her
surprise, found herself back on
her own doorstep.
BENSONS HAVE GIRL
A new daughter, their first

been named Deana Jeane, was
born at Valley Hospital on Aug.
11. She weighed six pounds, nine
ounces at birth. Mrs. Benson is
the former Norma Jean Loyer.

the property, and in turn to give
a long-term lease to a private in

The hoped-for housing would

Federal employes would have
first priority.
The city sewer and water lines
