Bond Campaign
 Winds Up Today

If you're the put-it-off type to- day is the last day of the buy-a- bomber for Alaska campaign, so go to the post office or bank and get a bond for the Spirit of Alaska. With the close of the contest figures from the 17 part cities will be compiled at Juneau and present indications are that Kodiak will be well up on the list. At the end of last week Kodiak had contributed one-sixth of the total received and kept up the same pace with over $12,000 worth of bonds sold this week. Bonds sold at the base post office do not count in the Kodiak total.

Actor Leaves
 After Busy ! ime

It was love that brought Joe E. Brown, film comic and expon ent of clean sports, to Kodiak. But in a roundabout way of course.
 He flew to Anchorage to make a personal delivery of a bride, his secretary, Edith Richards to Lieut.. Arthur Rpichle, former football player at UCLA.
 While in Anchorage Joe distfi- buted baseball "kils" as the gift of major league ball clubs lntev- ested in soldier sports, and acted as master of ceremonies for some boxing matches.
 Every minute of his stay here was taken up with three nights of two performances each for army, navy and civilian resid- ents of the base, visits to the hospitals and radio appearances. He took time out too for a trip into town where he was followed by a swarm ot autograph seekers and camera shooters. Joe wore a light tan overcoat with scarf and brown felt hat and looked more youthful than his years on the stage and screen would in dicate.
 He expected to return to Hol- lywood where he is scheduled for another picture. His latest picture, Well Shut My Mouth" made by Columbia Pictures was released February 18th.
