Prepare Now
The tourist season for Kodiak will get underway late
in June with the arrival of the Alaska Steamship Company
vessel, Denali.
In past years Kodiak has made little preparation prior
to the arrival of the tourists, but has done lots of breast
beating and made lost of vows to do better next year.
The Alaska Visitors Association, formed for the pur
pose of promoting Alaska and luring visitors from the out
side to visit the territory, has been active *nd has arranged
for reams of publicity to be published in the states.
Kodiak should take advantage of this publicity and
start marking historic and scenic spots of interest for the
tourists. A tour should be arranged, for a fee of course, for
these visitors.
The Chamber of Commerce is the civic group to pro
mote and back such an undertaking.
Every Kodiak business should attend the nex£ meet
ing of the C of C and help arrange a program. Not only will
it prove profitable this year, if we don’t bite the tourist too
hard, it will bring more visitors to Kodiak in future years.

TOWN TIDBITS
A woman gueat at Tuesday"'*
Rotary Club meeting (we%.- e
as she was) put the kibosh • n
what might have been the
most novel program the mm
had heard in quite a wh.'e.
Walt Muller and Clarence
Dizney, program chairmen >• >r
the day, came to the meat g
with two wire recorders and
installed them at two different
booths at the Montmartre.
As the men came in and p?'d
for their lunches, they were
led into conversations on their
favorite enthusiasms and
gripes, then permitted to lean#
that their remarks had bee*
preserved on tape.
But the plans to play the re
cordings back later in the
meeting hit a snag. At the
other booth in which the mic
rophone was hidden under a
napkin, one of the quieter
members who doesn’t usually
do such things was persuaded
to tell an off-celor story.
So when the program chair
men arose, the one man at the
booth who knew about the gag
also leaped to his feet, said,
“You’d better not play this
back today. There’s a lady
present and X just told a dirty
story and it’s on the tape!”
Mr. X. left the meeting
early, with his face red, and
the Rotarians ai e waiting far
the next, all-male meeting, at
which they hope to hear what
their fellow-member said . ..
Fancy eateries in big cities,
with their walls lined with au
tographed pictures of celebri
ties who have dined in them,
have nothing on Joe Ray
mond’s Doghouse.
Joe has a small flash camera
and has b( eo t iking snapshots
of his patrons for several
weeks. Now he is papering the
walls of the restaurant with
them, and Kodiakians can see
how they look while munching
his hamburgers and drinking
his coffee . . .

girl who works with a couple
