Whose Next ?
Ac- in K >diak is faced w t i a Federal action that will
have a tremendous hearing on our economic welfare. Last
week jt was tne lowering of the tariff on certain Japanese
products amone which was canned crah meat, because THE
POOR .JAPANESE FISHERMEN ARE IN SUCH A DE
PLORABLE CONDITION.
Now it is rumored that Pacific Northern Airlines is
threatened with extermination by a Civil Areonautic Board
ruling which is knocking off their Seattle- Anchurage run and
making Pan American Airways and Northwest the only two
lines to act as Alaska carriers.
PNA is an Alaskan firm having serviced Alaskan cities for
the past 23 years. It employs over 200 Alaskars throughout
the Territory and here in Kodiak they have six employees.
Kodiak has two flights daily on which comes mail, fresh
produce and passengers. Not only that but with the present
schedule that f NA maintains here in Kodiak one can make
direct connections in Anchorage for Seattle.
If the CAB ruling goes into affect here is what probably
will happen to Kodiak.
1. PNA will be forced to operate on an non-seed basis
possibly to two or three planes a week instead of the two daily
flights we now have.
2. If you plan to go to Seattle you will take a flight
outof Kodiak when you can and possibly have to wait in An
chorage a day or two. That goes for travel in both directions.
3. The mail will get to Kodiak about three times a week
What in the world is happening in Washington, D. C. ?
One would almost think Alaskans are outcasts.

AT THE TOWN CLUB and CLUB CASINO
The
CLUB UNIQUE
T’was the night before Christmas and all through the
Unique,
All the creatures were stirring as fun they did seek,
The liquor was placed on the back bar with care,
In hopes that the drinkers soon would be there.
When out on the street there arose such a clatter,
Jake sprange from the bar to see what was the matter.
When what to his wondering eyes did appear
But a few of the boys just wanting a beer.
Efka a Budweiser and Emmett an Oiey
I knew' in a moment it would get tough on Foley.
Now Jimmie! Now Claudia! Now Jack and Skeeter,
On Ker'mit! On Margaret! On Helen and Geiker!
So up to the bar top the embibers they flew
From the warmth of the whiskey, the Vodka and brew
Foley dressed all in brown from his head to his shoes
And his clothes were all splattered with stale beer and
"booze, ,
His eyes.... how they twinkled, his dimples how merry,
The Charteuse was working, his nose like a cherry.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the glasses then turned with a jerk.
To Jean and Bill his finger did point,
On Christmas Day we will close up this joint.
Hours 10-2 AM
