Weather Report
Kodiak, both unaccustomed
and unprepared, shivered in the
grip of winter this week as the
temperature nose-dived to below
zero levels and an icy wind made
heating a difficulty. A long-time
resident said it was the third
time in 25 years that the tem
perature here had gone below
zero. While offical temperatures
are unavaible unofficial records
ranged from 6 below at a point
in town.
Blow torches were at premium
as resident and business houses
fought frozen water lines and
frozen oil lines. Diesel oil, being
used as fuel, became so sluggish
it refused to flow and water in
oil lines added to the plight.
Only the Victory cafe and
Cheechako grill were open for a
time as all other restaurants
froze up Some of the liquor
spots were also forced to closed
and at one the employees served
in mukluks and parkas. The
Lyric closed one night, Thurs
day and Wodlinger'8 drug store
was closed the first days of the
week. Much damage was caused
to homes and apartments; oil
hues would freeze first and give
the water a chance to freeze
with resulting broken pipes and
many flooded floors.
Because of conditions in town
a 1 passes of servicemen were re
stricted one day, Thura lay, with
the restriction being lifted yes
terday.
Temperature t f 1 above was
reported last night as lesidents
scanned cloud ess >kiea ad hop
