Kodiak Diary
(continued from Daee 2)
Mrs. Ben Kraft, in Chicago,
saw the latter clipping, and sent
it to Mr. Madsen.
Olaf Halverson, former princi
pal of the local school, who is
teaching at Nome next year,
writes of his trip to his home in
Warren, Minnesota, as follows:
“I left Juneau on a PAA plane
flying some distance over the fog
and clouds. Soon we could see
the mountains of British Colum
bia and the rugged, forested ter
rain below. Vancouver Island
was beautiful and on its southern
end we saw a large forest fire
whose smoke reached up to the
plane. To the left was Mt. Baker
and approaching Seattle we saw
Mt. Rainier.
“It was my good fortune in
Seattle to get a ticket and air
plane seat with Northwest Air
lines only 3 nours after asking.
1’he trip across the Cascades was
grand. The irrigated valleys
looked like gardens. After leav
ing Spokane we hit an air strata
that was very thin and dropped
down at an alarming rate. For a
while I thought the wings had
dropped off and that it was our
last. The stewardess fell to the
floor and frankly admitted it
was an unusual drop.
“We crossed the Rockies and
stopped at Butte. The scenery
was exceedingly grand. I observ
ed the shadow of the plane cros
sing the section lines and thus
computed the speed of the plane.

we reached the lake district of
Minnesota towards evening.
From Minneapolis I took a plane
to Fargo and Grand Forks. It is
only 30 miles from home and
had all the familiar odors of the
homeland. The trees of oak, elm
and ash were inviting. I saw the
typical gopher of the prairie a
gain and heard the crickets chirp
ing along the roadside. Sweet,
clover brought its welcoming I
smell on either side and the birds
of numerous kinds sang merrily.
“1 chartered a plane from
Grand Forks to Warren, the
most exciting part of the trip.
We flew over Warren a couple
times, each time circling over my
home below which I could see, as
well as the neighbors,
“We circled the fairgrounds
and landed in a hayfield along
side the race track just in time
for the evening performance. I
I received a royal welcome from j
relatives and friends and attended ,
the evening performance. Since,
then, there have been parties, J
picnics and good times with
friends who have known me
since childhood.”
One of our advertisers in this
issue, at a cost of 30 cents, takes
space for a mention of “Editor
Lamme’s beard.” The advertiser
j would like, he says, to take a pic
| ture of the shearing scheduled
j for VJ-Day.
I Now that it’s too late to
j change the ad, we are happy to
I announce that if be had merely ,
mentioned it to us we would <
have told him he will be welcome <
to snap the snipping. i
Speaking of VJ-Day brings up <
another subject. For VE-Day we ^
ran our bond contest, and offered <
a $25 War Bond to the one who <
guessed closest to the day. It ^
was won you recall, by Mrs Bes. i
sie Wallin, after some confusion i
about a dog in Idaho, who had 1
the closest guess but was disqual- J
ified. I
