TIME FLYS
Ten months ago we ^ook over the KODIAK MIRROR and in
■ our very first issue we made the statement that we would
give Kodiak the very best possible newspaper we could print
' That is exactly what we have tried to do. We have given you
■ current home news first and enough of outside news to keen
you informed on what is going on in the rest of the world. It’s
very possible we have stepped on some peoples toes at times
s' but we wrote as we interpreted the news. Mistakes have been i
made but even so an honest effort was made in printing the]
MIRROR. I
Then comes the New Year and with it the resolutions that!
are inevidible. Everyone makes a few and so as not to be an
exception to the rule, here is ours:
‘‘We resolve to make your New Year a Happier one through
the KODIAK MIRROR.”
