‘LAST OUTPOST’
ALEUTIAN ‘GI’
NEWSPAPER
» _
AN ALEUTIAN BASE — Edi
tors of the “Last Outpost,” sol
dier newspaper here which bills
itself as “the oldest newspaper
in the Aleutians,” discovred re
cently that Staff Sgt. Kenneth
Westerlund of Bremerton, Wash.,
almost made liars of them.
Back in August, 1942, when
fresh laundry was a memory
and a hot shower an ambition on
^ this island, Sergeant Westerlund
was a member of an infantry
unit holding down what might
have been described as the last
outpost of this last outpost). A
printer in civilian life, the ser
geant decided he would start a
newspaper to help break the
monotony for his buddies and
himself.
Back issues of this journalistic
effort turned up here recently
and the “Last Outpost” editors
found their boast of having the
oldest newspaper on the chain
just narrowly missed being a
falsehood.

man editor, publisher, printer,

circulation manager, office boy,
printed his paper by hand, with
pen and ink, on the backs of
some old mimeographed material
—the only paper supply avail
able.
Westerlund’s weather predic
tions, boxed at the top of the
page, always drew comment. He
; never missed on his forecasts for
this wind-swept, rain-soaked
island with such reliables as
“probable showers” or “unusual
as usual.”
! Here are a few news items I
from the#newspaper, which was
alternately called “APO 948 Daily
| Journal” and “Reindeer Rambl
ings” for the sake of variety:
“Athletic Director John Blazer
announced that with the increas- I
* ed athletic facilities on the is- |
land, a formal petition has been j
signed and sent to Washington, !
D. C., asking that this be the site
of the 1943 Olympic games.”
“Sgt. Webster got his feet
soaked while helping the ‘Fish |
Detail’. He came into camp with
his pedal extremeties esconced
in—of all things—gloves!”

construction and near completion

It might be noted here that
what Sergeant Westerlund lacked
in news, he made up for with
imagination, and that were a golf
course built on the rolling hills
of this island, one look at the
layout would make even a Byron
Nelson throw away his clubs
forever.
As the post on this island
neared completion, the need for
Sgt. Westerlund’s newspaper was
minimized and publication was
discontinued. But the “Last Out
post” recognized the talents of
its erstwhile competitor and has
called upon him for frequent car
toon contributions for its week
ly columns.
