Enlarged Force Tackles Mail
(continued from page 1)
sequent wire gave permission to
use the fire halt for distribution
of second class mail, if the hall
could be obtained rent-free.
The suggestion for the fire hall
was included in the wire sent to
Washington. The Rotary Club
particularly had in mind its use
during the Christmas mad rush.
Further action from the post
office department is being await
ed. With Kodiak’s commercial |
life and personal contacts with
outside dependent so completely!
on the mail service, the Rotary |
club felt that the request for as
sistance which was quickly given
was justifiable.
Keeping the post office here
and at the base in supplies still
a problem, Postmaster King said.
The base post office was forced
to use mimeographed money
order forms for some time. Stamps
ordered over two weeks ago for
the local post office did not ar
rive on the last boat.
Mayor Chadwick has been
limping ab)ut on his duties this
week as a result of a severely
sprained ankle. ,
