DIARY ...
Ever ho often we get corre
spondence from people who are
“thinking of coming to Alaska”
and please send a free copy of
your paper.
We got another this week
from Box 7, Milltown Road,
RFD 4, Somerville, New Jersey,
USA. It says:
Dear Sir:
Please send me a copy of your
paper, as I am coming to Alaska
to live and am interested in
reading your paper. Very truly,
G. A. Fimmel, 3rd.
Always glad to oblige This
time we are going to send three
copies, however.
We don’t want G. A Fimmels
No. 1 and No. 2 to feel
neglected.
The jungle-clad islands of the
Pacific have been of inestimable
value to construction men seek
ing building materials Marine
Corporal Charles H. Nunsmak
er, 23. from Sunnyside, Wash.,
ik using mahogany, teak, ban
yan and bamboo instead of fir,
pine, oak and spruce, but he
says carpentry is the same
whether it's practiced in the
south Pacific, Alaska or the
Paeific northwest. He’s tried it
I
in ail i hot-e places. /
Wet mahogany is the easiest
to woik of all native lumiier. It
will take nails and sawing with
out difficulty and is comparable
to pine for general building pur
poses. Dry mahogany, he says, <
is practically nail and saw-ie- i
sistant.
Towering banyan, averaging
150 feel in height and 4 to 6
feet in diameter, provide a
“heavy” wood, which neverthe- ,
less, splits easily.
One of the most unusual jobs
he has had was ereeting a box
ing ring in a recreation area. It
is probably the only ring in the
world made of solid mahogany.
Corporal Nunamaker got his
first carpentry experience in
Sunnyside but in 1640 came to
Kodiak, where he followed his
trade as a civilian. In March,
1941, he returned to Portland
and enlisted in the Marine
eorps.
Monday, according to our
very best calendar, was the first
day of Spring.
Weather report: Swish. Brrr.
A man woke up the other
night at his abode when he
heard some straDge noises a
round his house and there at
one of the windows was an in
distinct face.
“Who is it?” he called.
The voice that answered was
that of his roommate.
When said roommate entered
the one in bed was put out by
his peeping Tom stunt.
What in the world, he wanted
to know, was he peering in the
window for?
Well, the peerer explained, I
was looking to see if this was
where I lived.
It wasn’t Saturday night, we
are told, but it should have
been.
It's getting so we’re afraid to
send an Associated dispatch out
about any of the current events
of interest. Witness the follow
ing:
1. We send a very small wire
out about a volcano erupting in
a small way at a distance of a
earefully stated 275 miles away
and bingo a worried relative
wires up to find if the relatives
heie are safe And come dozens
of letters with the same query.
2. We send out a carefully
worded wire about the accident
al shelling of Kodiak (with a
censor in the offing you have to
