Eastern Canada
Holds Blackouts
Ottawa, Canada—The Canad
ian government is preparing for
enemy air raids over a large sec
tion of eastern Canada, from
Halifax on the Atlantic to Tor
onto on Lake Ontario. An order
in-council made public today
shows that eleven areas in the
Dominion are regarded as “pecu
liarly sub'ect to hazards as the
result of enemy attacks or count
er action.”
Because of the approaching
danger, the order provides for
compensation and medical at
tention for all air raid precau
tions velunteeis Tho eleven
areas are Montreal. Toronto, Ot
tawa-Hull, Sydney and Halifax
• in Nova Scotia, St. John, Que
jbcc City, and Eskuimult, Victor

around the island were navigable
only to skilled pilots and the high
mountains directly behind the ci
ty made it invulnerable to plane
attacks. Millions of dollars were
dumped into fortifications and the
town “ai rived.”
Today it is one of the most pro
pressive in the north. With sever
al thousands of acres of good
grazing land and plenty of low
lying land for agriculture, settlers
have flocked in as well as an in
flux of town people, such as fol
low the expenditure of any big ,
sumsof public money. It has man}7 <
good stores, restaurants, a good '
bank, bakeries,lodges motion pic
ture shows, a good newspaper and
all other establisments to be
found in any small city.Prices for
? rent are high, owing to the influx <
if people being far greater than
the construction of homes.
The town has one of the oldest
churcheson the Pacific coast with
altar embellished with old beaten
gold, and an old Russian hand
painted Bible hundreds of years
old, with beaten gold covers Ad
mission to the church is secured
by application to the official in
charge, and his salary is paidtby
the candles sold and burned for
the donors.
The city has a good high school
and grade school, with Prof. R.L.
Clifton, one of the foremost edu
cators in Alaska, as superinten
dent. Mr. Clifton was for a num
ber of years superintendent of the
Valdez schools, and is well known
here.
A large Standard Oil plant is
also stationed at Kodiak, where
one may get any kind of oil, ga
or grease made by the company
Several large canneries are located
ou the1 island, and E'S iug is the
main occupation of a large num
ber of the population
The government defense work
lies a few miles south of town on
Woman’s Ray, a natural port pro
tected by jagged reefs and shal
low waters for miles out to sea.
Several thousand men are sta
tioned here and while the work is
kept carefully concealed, it is
known to be extensive and will be
an important link in Alaskan de
fense,
A town council administers the
laws and the tax rate is very low.
A new water system and electric
light plant is being constructed.
Federal laws are administered by
a commissioner and two two dep
uty marshalls.
Within a year or so, Kodiak
will be the largest town in the di
vision and will have a substan
tial lot of bui dings, as construc
tion is not of the flashy boom
