Anchorage by Saturday after
noon.
“And beyond these points
Times will travel by the same
means as first-class mail (by
plane, in most cases) to reach
almost every dealer in Alaska on
or before the issue date.
“Thus Time will reach you
faster than any “outside” maga
zine ever did before—much fast
er even than before the war—
and you will be able to place
each issue on sale while the
news it rep rts is still “hot”.”
When you hear a sizaling
sound rush to your nearest news
stand (arranger1 alphabetically)
for it means Time is on time.
Personally we view this new
development in speed askancely
We are afraid we will never get
used to reading a Tune at a time
after years of hibernating with
at least 4 issues, chronologically
arranged, ante bellum and post
boat.
Seriously, Time is to be con
gratulated for being less fugitive
and more fugit-ive.
Mrs. June Wils>n. bookkeeper
for the Kodiak Mercantile com
pany, recently got a letter from
her mother in ;aw in a town in
Washington (we won’t name it,
because we wouldn’t want to get
anyone in Dutch) telling about
the attempt to mail a Christmas
package to Kodiak via Railway
Express.
Her mother-in-law went to the
office, and was told by the agent
that it was practically useless to
try to send anything by Rail
way Express to Kodiak. In the
first place he said, there was no
Railway Express agency at Kod
iak (Harold Siver, local agent
will be interested in that) and
besides if she did send it it
would probably never get across
the border. The Canadian cus
toms were so strict about pack
ages they would probably open
< it and that is as far as it would
go. (He must have thought she
was sending a set of old Colonial
bombs )
When the local Mrs. Wilson
heard about it she sat right
d ,wn and wrote a “snappy”
letter to the agent, telling him
there has been a Railway agency
here for four years that she
knows of, that it gives very
good, service, and that people in
Kodiak don’t live in igloos.
We hope she explained about
the Canadian border before she
cooled off, because she says now
that she probably was hasty in
writing it
We don’t think so. We must
get such misrepresentations cor
rected
Especially before Christmas!
A recent Gallup poll shows
that American people are adjust
ing themselves to a much longer
war in Europe than was expected
earlier in the year.
And this n emphasized by (lie
number of early entrants 11 the
Kodiak Mirror War Bond Con- <
teat who picked a date only j
weeks away from the time of!
their entry as the close of the
war with Germany.
The end of this month sees
the close of the Mirror contest,
and readers who have not yet
filled out the little coupon are
reminded that pretty quick they
will be busy with the activities
of the holidays and this and
next week will be the best times
to get entries in.
During last September, two
thirds of all voters polled
thought the German war would
terminate by the end of the
year.
Latest figures compiled from
answers on the question by the
Gallup poll, show only 28 per
cent now thin's the end of the
war will come that soon.
The latest figure* follow, as
compiled from answer* to the
queetion: “How much longer do
you think the war with German
y will last?”
Less than 1 month—1 per
cent
1 mouth—3 per cent
2 months—9 per cent
3 months—13 per cent
4-5 months—9 per cent
6 months—26 per cent
More than 6 months—28 per
cent
No opinion—9 per cent
I In addition, Prime Minister <
l Winston Churchill, who recently !
predicted that the war with Ger- !
| many would end by early sum- !
mer, now says that his predie- '
j tion should be revised by drop
ping the word “early”.
Put what you think on the
imprinted coupon— percentages
don’t mean a thing in this con
test!
