In 1842, five years after Fath

Innocent Veniaminoff sailing in
the vicinity of Kodiak and being
in grave danger of shipwreck,
looked over in the direction of
Elovoi Ostrov, said in his mind>
"If you, Father Herman, have
pleased God, then let this wind
change.’ "In a quarter of an
hour,” says Archbishop Innocent,
"the wind changed and the ship
reached the harbor safely.”
In commemoration of this e
vent the Archbishop himself said
a requiem mass on the grave of

Blowing the fire siren every
day at noon may be a good idea
so far as testing the apparatus
is concerned. But we have a
complaint. Try as we will to
remember that it is going to
blow at 12 (or reasonable fac
simile thereof) we forget, and
our heart gets almost to our
esophagus before we realize it is
only a simulation and not a con
flagration.
We know how it could be
remedied, though. Why not
blow a warning signal about five
minutes to 12 so we could be
prepared. It would save a lot of
wear and tear and we know
others who feel the same way
about it.

Eyes for Alaska’s skies
Out from the Great Land, beyond the
fog-fleeced Aleutians, drones a picket
line of patrol planes. It’s lonely work,
often monotonous, and it's a grueling
test of men and materials. Helping to
by ground crews’ tractors, boats and
power plants. Long ago, the depend
ability and availability of Standard
Aviation Products made them favo
rites of Alaskan airmen. Today, iif

Standard Aviation Gasoline in
their fuel tanks and the Stand
ard fuels and lubricants used
their new and more exacting
role, they’re proving their fit
ness for the big jobs that lie
ahead in Alaskan aviation.
