“ . . • that government of the people, by the people,
the people shill not perish from the earth-'—Lincoln
Message Explains Local Situation
To the Citizens of Kodiak:
Attached hereto are rules and
regulations governing blackouts
and evacuations prepared by
your Civel Defense Committee
and promulgated under your
City Ordinance No. 41.
Absolute compliance with these
rules and regulations is recom
mended.
It is hoped that the people of
Kodiak may lead as nearly nor
mal lives as possible under the
war conditions, yet it would be
foolhardy to neglect any precau
tion for your safety. In this con
nection, the carelessness of one
individual might endanger the
whole community.
It is believed that you are en
tirely capable of safeguarding
your own interests under the or
ganiiat:o:i which you have Ee'
Up as your Defense Committee,
including fire wardens, blackout
wardens and supervisors of ev
acuation. Since Kodiak is a good,
law-abiding community there is
no reason for martial law until
6uch time as your civil law and
order might break down, in which
case it would be necessary for
outside authority to step in.
As we conceive it, the citizens
of Kodiak, under their Defense
Committee and ordinances, are
responsible for safety precau
tions. This committee will in
turn be supported by your City
Police, the United States Mar
shall’s office and the Army and
Navy as the need arises.
It is believed that results
should be obtained by civil lead
dership and education inspiring
in each individual an earnest de
sire to do his part for the safety
and welfare of the community.
The military will undertake to
keep you informed and advised
of the situation and the need for
blackouts and evacuation. We
will cause the Marshal’s Office
to be immediately notified by
telephone when it is considered
either a blackout or an evacua
is desirable. It is possible that a
situation may arise so suddenly
that time will not permit this ac
tion, in which case the city auth
orities are advised to act in ac
cordance with their own best
judgment.
It may be questionable re
garding the evacuation of the
sick, either in hoafitals or in
their homes as such a course
might be more injurious than
sustaining an air raid. In this
situation the professional medi
cal men should make the decision
Because of the scarcity of ship
ping and other vital military re
quirements it will be necessary
to burn certain light at the base
when the city is blacked out.
It is sincerely hoped that these
requiremens for your safety will
not unduly interfere with the
normal course of your business
and lives. With the improvement
of discipline the interference will
be less and less. Everyone should
respond willingly and cheerfully
all for one and one for all.
The above message was signed
jointly by Charles H. Corlett,
Brig. General, Commanding Fort
Greely, and J. Perry, Command
ing Naval Air Station.
cA Prosperous 1942
is the cordial wish of each
member of this organiza
tion w hich your cooperation
and support has helped
to maintain

To The Boys
(The following poem was writ
ten by Floyd Short, one of those
burned out in the fire last week
at the Cowden apartments.)
I take this means to thank you,
boys,
Who bought my britches back;
For I was sure without them
When I fled that burning shack.
For I’d been sleeping soundly,
And u y attire was such
That when I went through the
window
I wasn’t wearing much.
It wasn’t very dignified
And fate seemed most unkind,
To make me flee my cabin
With so little on behind.
And now my friends, at this
time,
My right hand fairly itches,
To shake the hands of all my
friends
Who bought me back my britch
