CIVILIANS take
RISKS In ALASKA

Civilian workers on Kodiak island
take risks, when asked to do so, along
side members of the armed forces,
Ralph Swanson, who returned last
week, reveals.
When volunteer construction workers
were sought for dangerous missions, /"
there was no difficulty in obtaining
them, Swanson said.
Most of the workers became accus-
toned to the war-like atmosphere, and
Swanson said he slept soundly through
artillery target practice with the guns
firing only a few hundred feet distant.
Construction workers from Midway
and Pearl Harbor, who had undergone
Jap attacks, were on Kodiak, and they
had many stories to tell An infantry
man on leave from Guadalcanal gave
the marines credit for being tough,
brave fighters, and he said Japs were
nearly animal-hke, but were also good
warriors.
