DIARY ...
Now that it is definite that
Alaska will sit down to its
Thanksgiving turkey next
Thursday, November 23, as Der
proclamation of the Governor, it
is interesting to note that Idaho,
Florida, Nebraska, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia will wait un
til November 30 to eat theirs.
Wonder if we could make it
to Idaho in a week?
Our local lesident who tried to
vote for a president on election
day does’nt need to feel bad.
In the more woildly city of Fair
banks two persons made the
same attempt.
When we first heard of An
chorage getting telephone ser
vice to the States we wrote to
find out if an extension of the
service to Kodiak was being con
sidered. The following reply was
received from Lt. Col.'' William
L. Wardell, Area Officer in
Charge for the Signal Corps, at
Anchorage:
“This refers to your letter of
Oct. 23 regarding the possibility
of radiotelephone service be
tween Kodiak and other points
in Alaska and the States
“ Plans for the establishment
of long distance telephone ser
vice to various points in the
Territory have not been com
pleted and are subject to a la-ge
number of factors which must
be considered before definite ac
tion can be taken. In view of
this, it is impossible to deter
mine whether Kodiak will be in
cluded in the extension of toll
service at the present time.
However, you can rest assured
that full consideration will be
given to the possibility of con
necting Kodiak into any toll
telephone network which might
develop ”
Joke of the week: (To be re
membered for use in similar
situations):
He: Can you lend me 5 bucks
for a month, old boy?
You: What’ll a month-old boy
do with .5 bucks?
Kodiak Cub
A note comes from Mrs. i < i -
bert, Pope, at Bellevue, Wash.;
renewing her suhsciiption and
telling us that after she “reads
the paper through I send it on
to Herb, now stationed a la
army, at Camp Gruber, Okla
homa.” Mr. Pope was employed
at the Bank of Kodiak before
going into the service.
“We don’t want to miss the
news and views of Kodiak hap
penings while we are away ”
Mrs. Pope says, “as we call Ko
diak our ‘post-warhometown!’ ”
A soldier writes:
“Your little V-day contest has
attracted my attention for some
time—and so the enclosed cou
pon is my entry. I base my date
on a collapse—if we have to
fight all the way I think the
date, or guess of a date, would
be too haphazard.
“We who are stationed here
got quite a kick out of the
Honor Roll started in Kodiak.
Typical of G-I’s we don’t admit
the pleasure orally, but I think

Girls Outnumber
Boys In Kodiak
As a result of the census re
cently taken by the city of Kod
iak, the population of school
children in this locality is placed
at 274, according to Harry
Holt, superintendent of schools.
The enrollment of the school
is now 238 and the difference
between the two figures of 36 is
due to the fact that in the cen- (
sus all were counted as children j
between the ages of 5 and 21.
The breakdown of census fig
ures, both outside and inside
the city limits, is as follows:
Boys Girls Total
Inside 101 114 215
Outside 29 30 59
Total boys—130; total girls
