DIARY ...
Fort Greely paid homage this
week to a Tokyo-born euest.
But don’t get excited. It was
only Olivia de Havilland, Warn
er Bros, star, making a tour of
Alaska and the Aleutians to en
tertain the boys. The fact that
she was'born in Tokyo is mere
happenstance
We caught Livvie in a broad
cast, and a prettier und more
gracious speech we have seldom
heard. She told how much she
enjoyed the privilege of being
here and that, she would like to
he everyone’s G. I sweetheari
and she told of things back
home.
The worst shortage at home,
she commented graciously, was
the shortage of men.
"Well,” came back our local
announcer without thinking
twice, "why don’t you stay in
Kodiak?”
It would be all right with us,
too.
Livvie was in town Tuesday
evening and visited the Red
Cross center. She stopped at
Bert’s drug store, looked over
the magazines, visited a bit,
gave a thrill to everyone who
came in, and tried to buy some
hair lacquer. •
A mere male described her as
wearing no make-up and having
her hair done up in a knot.
Add to our Department of
What People From Here Said
There:
Quoted from the Anchorage
Times:
Mrs. Ben Kraft of Kodiak ar
rived in Anchorage yesterday
for a visit with her son, Wilton
White, who is stationed with the
iir force here, and to do some
buying for 0. Kraft & Son., gen
eral merchandise store in Kodi
tk.
With the difficulties of travel
now. Mrs. Kraft said, it is easier
for them to come to Anchorage
to do their buying from various
salesmen who have arrived heie
at. one time than for each of the
business houses to send repre
sentatives to Kodiak.
The Kraft store was establish
ed in Kodiak more than 40
years ago by Mr. Kraft’s father,
Otto Kraft, and the two of them
were in partnership until short
ly before the senior Mr. Kraft’s
recent death, Mrs. Kraft said.
She came to Alaska from Kan
sas in 1915.
Theii problems of supply theie
are the “same as every place
else, but we always seem to get
the essentials," Mrs. Kraft said.
She is staying at the Anchor
age Hotel and plans to be here
for about a week, she said
Icc in tie- Tatiana 'iver al
Nenana scene of the great Alas
kan ice derby each year, is
stiong enough to support a rai -
road loci motive at present, ac
cording o Mike Cooney, man
ager of the Ice Pool
“The Nenana experts on ice
conditions can see nothing un
usual in this year’s situation,"
he said “The consensus of opin
ion stems to be that the ice will
move between April 25 and May
10 but a fluke is always pos
sible "
Last Thursday the ice was 30
inches thick m the middle and 4
feet at each bank. The water
level was about normal but the
snow cover in that area ih quite
a bit heavier than usual. Tem
peratures run from zero to 35
degrees below zero and are cold
er than usual.
“We had a mild early winter
but we are certainly catching up
now It is really cold," the man
ager of the dooI said.
Some residents of Nenana
claim that a half dozen robins
have spent the winter there and
they are usually taken as a har
binger of an early breakup.
There's only one sure thing a
bout the ice pool—the more in
formation you get about it the
less you know about it.

Wehavejust been looking at
some pictures of the Aleutians.
One is of Attu, one of the naval
base at Dutch Harbor one of
i the Happy Valley of the Seabees
on Adak and others showing life
and work in the islands.
In full color are a picture of
one of our submarines in Dutch
Harbor, a navy patrol plane, a
panorama of Adak, the floor of
Massacre Valley on Attu, and
the Russian church in the vil
lage of Unalaska.
They are advance tearsheets
sent t>3’ l ife magazine, with a
little note that our “readers
would be particularly interested
in this story from next Mon
day’s Life.”
We aren’t sure what issue
next Monday’s Life would be,
but the sheets were postmarked
March 7 and we received them
