July Fourth Fireworks
In Doubt This Year
Whether Kodiak has its
traditional display of fire
works at midnight on the
Fourth of July this year will
depend on a meeting of com
mittees from both the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Ro

A discussion regarding the
feasibility of the colorful dis
play monopolized a large por

celled this year the annual1
celebration, which includes a!
parade and games and races j
for the children, would be j
held. _ 1
However, a carnival, Which ,
is usually sponsored by the
Rotary Club, will not be given
this year.

! that funds for the gym would
not be available,

Magazine Studies
Bear Question
The I£ay issue of Outdoor'
■yf^&foes an editorial en
titled, They’d ; Exterminate
the Kodiak Bear.
The publication date of the
magazine was yesterday.
In a letter to Alf Madsen,
local big game guide, an of
fical on the magazine’s staff
, wrote, “Our continuing pro
gram of wildlife conservation
is such a vital part of Out
-door Life’s editorial policy,
j that we believe this editorial
will have a particularly strong
and effective influence among
our readers.”
The editorial in the maga
zine was prompted by the re
cent proposal of the Kodiak
Livestock Growers Associa
i tion that the Northern end of
; Kodiak Island be declared j
open on Kodiak Bear.
During the recent session of (
[ the Territorial Legislature a)
memorial to Congress was j
introduced favoring an open I
season on the bear.
Under the mast head of
Outdoor Life is the following
pledge: “1 give my pledge as
an American to save and
faithfully to defend from
waste the natural resources .of
my chijntry—its soil and
minerals, its fqreste, waters
and wildlife.”
Antimony Sought j
In Alaska
j
With defense production |
machinery moving into high \
gear, acute shortages of anti- j
mony are being experienced |
by U. S. industry which is
looking to Alaska as a poten
tial source of supply of the J
metal.
One large mining and |
smelting company is interest
ed in obtaining an antimony'
property in Alaska. Antimony
is one of the strategic and
critical minerals for a supply
of which the 0. S. must de
pend upon foreign countries
in large measure.
Operators interested in dis
posing of their properties or
in furnishing antimony ore,
should write the Alaska De
velopment Board. Box 50,
Juneau, Alaska.
