Snow Storm
Hits Town
One of the heaviest snows
of the past five years fell on
Kodiak Sunday causing the
closing of school for one day
and the blocking of roads for
a short time.
Busses of the Kodiak Tran
sit maintained their schedule
but only through work and
skill on the part of the
drivers.
Navy Weather Central at
Kodiak Naval Station esti
mated the fall of snow at a.
round 12 inches. Wind caused
drifts across roads and filled
^■*■**■1^*—m <■ r, n
doorways of houses and build
ings.
Tuesday, “old mother goose
picked her geese again” and
Kodiak residents were busy
with snow shovels. The big
grader of the Territorial High
way Department cleared the
roads making big dirty banks
alongside the white thorough
fares.
The sun came out following
the big snow storm and whil
no cases of snow blindness
were reported many donned
colored glasses because of the
glare.

Expected

Bay fishermen predict a stam
pede for net sites when the
1951 salmon season opens.
Intertidal waters of Bristol
Bay will be open to set net
fishing this year. Under pre

it goes to the first man gett
ing his net into the water on
opening day of the season.
