KODIAK .
DIARY ...
Since April 11, 1926, his birth
dale, T.asan Aga, Kodiak, has
been satisfied with his birth cer
tifica'e. Now, however, he has
written to Juneau to have it
changed. No one noticed it be
fore, but this summer an MP
called his attention to the fact
that the ‘ sex” on it was noted
as “female.”
Lasan Aga, he doesn’t care
for that.
Mrs. Pete Masmusen, who
wanted to know what the offic
ial national flower is, told us
she’d tell us when she found
out. Two weeks have passed
without her report, which leads
us to believe we were right
when we told her there was
none. At least it isn’t mentioned
in our reference library, which
consists of an Encyclopedia Bri
tannica published by Sears Roe
buck, a Webster’s published by
Merriam and a 1941 World
Almanac.
If other nations’ flowers are
any help, we understand Ger
many’s is the Wild Germanium,
Italy’s the Lachrymose Begon
nia, and Japan’s the Setting
Sunflower.
Two examples of inebriety re
cently appeared before an offic
ial (the wrong one, by the way)
and divulged the information
that they wanted to get married.
“Why?” asked the official,
jocularly.
“Because”, explained the
male half of the team in all ser
iousness, “she’s bean pestering
me for weeks and I figured the
only way to get rid of her would
be to marry her.”
They departed, inexpressibly
sorrowful, when they were told
they would have to wait three
days after filing intent to wed.
Much more than three days has
elapsed, and nothing has been
seen of them since.
Frank L. Beals, wildlife agent,
is now in town, and he came in
to get a copy of the Mirror tell
ing about the Polar (?) bear be
ing killed on southern Kodiak
island by Chris Helgason. He ex
pressed his doubts about it being
a Polar (?) bear. We suggested
that he go up to Helgason’s and
view the skin of the head of the
Polar (?) bear, and ask his ques
tions and decide for himself.
We saw him afterward, and
he said that after he saw the
skin and heard the description
and asked his questions, about
kair on the feet, etc., that he had
come to the conclusion that it

Quite a few Kodiakians re
member Robert Davenport, who
was a transit man for the crew
that surveyed the townsire in
1940 Bob is in the Army now,
and at present is located some
where in New Guinea.
Now New Guinea, and Bob,
are therefore located, according
to our office map, a distance of
4140 miles from Kodiak. Yet
that distance, across lots of wet
water, doesn’t keep rumors
anent this city from ocean hop
ping Says Bob, in a recent V—
mail letter to Mr. and Mrs.
Hank Eaton, of this ci y :
“I heard a rumor the other
day that Kodiak had gone dry.
(Editor’s note: No doubt refer
ring to the drinking water short
age.) I don’t believe it but it
just shows how things do get
around.
“ I wonder if the cows are
still parading around town?”
No, Bob, the city has been
milked dry of its cow population
by a city ordinance that bans
Bossy from the Boulevards.
Now that we know rumors
from Kodiak can reach New
Guinea we wonder what the
whispering in Wadi Haifa is say
ing about us. Anybody know?
Construction work was start
ed Monday on the foundations
for the new KEA powerhouse
on Tugora road. The crew' of 3
men are working under the di
rection of John Steffgen, con
tractor.
