DIARY ...
Many here remember Max
Peabody, former taxi driver. He
is now a lieutenant in the Army,
and his wife, Jean, former man
ager of the Island Fountain, is
living in Portland, Oregon.
From somewhere in the Neth
erlands East Indies Lt. Peabody
wrote the following letter on
New Year's Eve:
1 just received another roll of
my favorite paper, the “Kodiak
Mirror” and couldn’t help but
sit down and write a letter.
! First I want to wish all a Happy
l New Year and hope those 77
1 servicemen listed in your Octob
er 14 Mirror (Kodiak’s Honor
Roll of Servicemen of this area)
, will all be back in Kodiak by
1 Jan. 1st, 1946. Number 78, my
self, would also like to be in
cluded in that list. (Ed. Note:
As a result of letters from ser
vicemen and friends the list is
now 104—now 105.)
This is New Year’s Eve and
for me certainly not a reason
able facsimile to the two I spent
in Kodiak. Liquor is high and
scarce and there are no night
clubs, restaurants, bars, etc.
Fortunately for us GI’s on this
island there are not many re
maining Nips. We have knocked
off quite a few since our am
phibious landing here a few
months ago In New Guinea on
July I saw my first combat and
damn tough it was—enough to
last me for the duration.
It does not seem possible that
Jean and I have been away from
Kodiak one and a half years. I
went into the army at Fort
Lewis in August 1943 as soon as
I arrived from Kodiak. I was
stationed fortunately, and went
through my basic training in in
fantry at Camp Adair, just 70
miles from Portland. Was ship
ped to California^ April 1944,
Sailed for New Guinea the first
part of May, then combat soon
after I arrived and was sent to
a new (for me) infantry diyision.
After our first fight ended in
New Guinea in August I was
recommended for a direct field
commission and received it soon
after we made our landing on
this island. Quite a break for me
I in more ways than one.
I know a good deal of the
happenings and “goings on” in
Kodiak but can’t hear too much,
Kodiak has left me with a good
many wonderful memories. Hope
all of you who are still there
realize how very fortunate you
are.
Max’ address is Lt. M. N.
Peabody, 0-1636305, Hq, Co.,

Life contains an article by Colo
man Jonas, taxidermist, called
"Tough Lady of Kodiak” which
describes a Kodiak bear hunting
trip made by the author and 5
other hunters, under the guid
ance of Charles Madsen.
We are so tired of wrong re
presentations of Kodiak weather,
that seeing a story in the Alaska
Catholic that mentions our mod
erate climate comes as welcome
as a breath in Spring.
In telling of the Grey Nuns
arriving in Kodiak to take over
the hospital, it says:
“The unsurpassed scenery of
Alaska thrilled them, and the
mild climate in Kodiak, where
cattle and sheep graze in the
open the entire winter, was a
revelation. It is quite a change
from the severe winters in Phil
adelphia to the more moderate
temperature of Kodiak.”
Will the Philadelphia Bulletin
please note for future reference.
There is a submarine device
that tells depths on the principle
of reflected radio waves From
a tiny, insignificant box waves
are sent out, to come bouncing
back in reflections that are auto
matically timed during their ab
sence so by knowing how long
they are gone you >inow how
deep it is.
As is with so many strange
devices, another use has been
found for this mechanical marvel
It has been tried and proven
true that the instrument can be
