i DIARY ...
One of those raving reporters
visited Kodiak recently and we
have just seen the results.
In June aMr. Buck Buchwach,
writer and columnist for the
Hololulu Advertiser, visited this
area on a jaunt with some vice,
rear and other admirals aDd
what not, and reported same to
his paper.
We had the pleasure, we
thought at the time, of meeting
Mr. Buchwach, and we told him
we would like to have a copy'
of his stories on Kodiak, and
that if they weren't oorrect we
would reprint them, with sarcas
I Me rematks appended. He prom*
; ised to send same. To date he
* hasn’t.
f But some mother in Honolulu
sent a copy to her offspring in
Kodiak who showed it to a fel
! low who told Emil Knudsen
abou' it, and O A. Torgersou
of the bank of Kodiak, received
copies from Dee Anderson, now
living in Honolulu, who used to
run the Chicken Dinner House
in the place aftrr it was Dell’s
cafe and before it was the Com
missioner's office
One of the clippings is an
article, headlined—“Kodiak To
day is Skeleton of Wartime
Alaska Forces.”
The article is fine, but we
would like to quote:
“There are only 1200 navy men
, stationed at Kodiak, a far cry
from the wartime peek.
‘‘The 17th Naval district has
5000 men but is losing instead
of gaining personnel.
The air base is on reduced
operational status, with about
1400 men to take care of N ATS
and routine patrol duties . .. the
ottier 800 men stationed here
are district personnel ”
We just wauted to offer these
figures, because a couple weeks
ago we tiied ro get similar inlor
mation and were told it was
‘ classified”—secret, that is, very
hush hush—until some peripat
etic peuci. pusher in a California
sport shirt comes aloug
We ain’t sore—just amused
But as to wh it fol uws we aren’t
amused, it being such an old
story.
In a separate colum ', titled
"Buck Quacks About Kodiak”
by Buck Buchwach,accompanied
by a picture of Buchwach, under
which it says in all capitals,
BUCHWACH, and beneath that
Buchwach, which we can take a?
a hint the column was written
by Buchwach, he says among
other things;
‘ The main drag of Kodiak is
about 3 blocks long, is called
