DIARY ...
These hooks shout Alaska do
arouse interest in the people
reading them. From the Aber
deen Proving Ground, Mary
land, the following letter was
received:
“I have become very much
interested in Alaska since read
ing “War Discovers Alaska” hy
Joseph Driscoll.
“Would you kindly forward
a copy of your newspaper to the
above address COD ”
A sample copy is being mail
ed. Not COD.

Mr. an ! Mis. Lawrence Wod
linger returned from a short trip
to Anchorage Sunday, and while
there Larry talked to the Times,
which was reported as follows:
“With the waterworks system
generally in course of construc
tion, Kodiak, it is expected, will
he fully equipped in that regard
some time in July, prepared to
take care of all water require
ments by that time.
“Lawrence Wodiinger, J\odIak
councilman, had that and other
encouraging tilings to say about
his home town today. I
“The new power plant has 1
progressed sufficiently to furnish j
juice for practically the emire <
town. As soon as filial installa- 1
lion take place—at no distant 1
time—all that remains is the
stringing of lines to light up all
outlying districts as well
“The new sewage system,
waterworks and power plant all
combine to add much improve
ment to appearances, conven
iences and general morale of the
town, said the town official. He
and other observers, it was
learned, look for a bright future
for Kodiak, expecting substan
tial post-war progi ess.
“Councilman Wodlinger has
shown his faith in Kodiak by
substantial expansion of his drug
ousiness, his last move being the
purchase of a second store, the
Hermann establishment.
"Mr and Mrs Wodlinger re
gistered at the Anchorage hotel.”
Claiming to be the only news
paper printed on V-mail is “The
\leut”, printed weekly at a
post somewhere in the Aleu
tians.
Number 3 of Vol. 1 has just
been received here and consists
of a mimeographed paae on one
side, labelled a ‘ special edition
to the folks back In rue”.
In the paper are articles on
extension courses, a winter car-j
pival and an editorial stressing
he need of mail. An article ex
plaining maternity care for
nothers of nusbands below the
;rade of S-Sgt. says; “in filling
lut the forms it is necessary
hat the wife knows her hus
rand’s serial number.”
An article about a troupe of
3 USO girls has a very simple
headline:
“Women . . . GRR!”
The Anchorage Times thought
they had a story when they saw
on a hotel list the name of H. L.
Ickes, registered as from Kodiak,
but investigation disclosed that
it wasn’t THE H. L. Ickes.
Kodiak’s Mr. Ickes is not the
sometimes uncberished secretary
of the interior of the same name
and initials, or even a member
of the same family. His name is
Henry.
‘ I’ve been in hot water prac
tiallv ever since he’s been in of
fice. However, the Henry does
help.
“But there have been times”,
he declared, “when I have
thought of going back to Wash
ington and telling the secretary
if he didn’t resign, I would!”
For Henry also works for the
government. He is employed by
the Army Transportation Corps
at Kodiak and is visiting An
chorage, Juneau and other A\las
ka towns during a leave of ab
sence. Confusion, he said, reigns
regarding his name wherever he
goes.
“But on the whole,” he said,
“they treat me qude white.”
J. D. Nelson, freight traffic
manager for the Alaska Steam
ship company, from Seattle, is
in Kodiak this week on business
for the company.
