Thanks To Everyone
Kodiak celebrated the Fourth of July in the traditional
manner Wednesday and made every Kodiakian proud to be a !
resident in such a community.
City officials and residents have expressed thanks to
the Navy and Marines for two fine marching units and aj
band. Members of the Kodiak Baptist Mission, B. P. 0. E., ,
Shriners, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Thompson Transfer, j
Smith Transfer and all others taking part in the big parade j
are due an expression of thanks.
John Gibbons, Jake Foley, Tom Nelson, Bob High-,
tower, Graycti Hightower, Shirley Wallace and Frances Bar- j
ton are also due a large measure of appreciation for putting I
on a great horse race. '
The Police Department and all members of the Rotary
Club and Chamber of Commerce are also deserving of praise
for all their work and efforts to make the day a success.
Kodiak’s “famous Fourth of July weather” arrived for the
big day and if it is fitting we should “thank” the weatherman
for cooperating.

| LEMER TO EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I have just read your edi
torial in the June 9 issue of1
the Kodiak MIRROR and 11
would like to correct the im- j
pression you may have in re-1
spect to the recent decision of j
the CAB authorizing PNA to ]
render service between Se-!
attle-Portland and Anchorage,
and between those terminal t
points and certain intermedi-1
ate points.
I do not feel, as your edi
torial states, that it appears
Kodiak bought a “gold brick”.
Under the Board’s certifica
tion Kodiak will receive as
much direct service to the
states as any of the other
points.... set forth in the
Board’s decision .... Kodiak
is already certificated to PNA
in its permanent Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity,
. ... it was not necessary to
specifically include Kodiak in ,
the new certificate to obtain)
direct service between Seattle •
and Kodiak. The reason for
mentioning Juneau, Yakutat
andCordova. . . . was to make,
possible direct and local ser
vice between Portland-Seattle
and Anchorage via these in-1
termediate points; otherwise
only non-stop service between
Seattle-Portland and Anchor
age would be possible.
and passengers for these. . . . |
points would be required to
backtrack from Anchorage to
reach their destination.
If by direct service the city
council and the chamber of
commerce meant non-stop ser
vice, then the matter is in
deed one of misunderstanding
and not one of misrepresenta
tion. The CAB in establishing
route patterns considers ser
vice to points beyond the
terminal (as in this case Ko
diak being beyond Anchorage)
as direct service, even though
the flight must go through the
terminal point.
I can assure you that at no
time did PNA represent that
by direct service it meant
non-stop service. For such
non-stop service on a year
round basis would haye been
beyond the realm of possi
bility. . . . this non-stop ser
vice would require more than
a million dollars in additional
4-engine equipment and would
incur an operating expense of
around $5,000 a day. ... it
would be necessary to have
50 passengers per day that
want to travel between Ko
diak and the states, who have
no interest in stopping at
■Anchorage or other intermedi
ate points, in order to make
the route feasible from an
economic point of view. . . .
PNA believes fehat such non
stop service is practical,
economically possible and
warranted during the summer
and did propose such service
during those months in its ap
plication before the CAB in this
case. If at any time there is
sufficient business to warrant
non-stop service between Ko
'diak and the states, such
operation can be inaugurated
by filing notice of non-stop
schedule without the delay of
obtaining new route certifica
tion. PNA hopes to develop
sufficient traffic to make pos
sible direct non-stop service
on a year-round, daily basis,
but for the present it is logi
cal to assume that we must
rely on revenue other than
Kodiak to warrant the service
as contemplated in the Board’s
decision.
Sincerely yours,
A. G. Woodley,
President.

Helpful hints to gardeners:
To insure long blooming of
pansies as well as African
violets take off all faded
blooms.
Do not cut down foliage on
daffodils and tulip bulbs or
any similar bulbs. Plants
should be kept growing as
long as possible with help of
bone meal and liquid manure.
Proper care now will insure
blooms for next year.
Questions on garden prob
lems should be addressed to
Kodiak MIRROR, Garden
Column.
The next meeting of the
Garden Club will be held at
the home of Mrs. Basil Clark
on Wednesday at 8 pm. The
program will be an illustrated
lesson on pressing of flowers
and helpful hints on trans
planting wild flowers. Guests
are invited to attend.
