ned, more modern than the us- ual run of banks in the smaller towns in the States. There is a fireplace in the lobby and on raw, wet nights { we bank Sat urday nights, too ) it provides a cheerful note. We have good equipment, but must of neces sity forego the more complicated machines, as we have no service at hand, should they break down.
 Our bear collection is some thing. I'll bet we have more bears Tn our bank than you'll find in any other bank in Alaska and the States. One is a stuffed Kodiak cub, posed in a rearing position in the lobby. He is not very large, standing six feet. Sometimes dogs wander in and, catching sight of the bear, let out a yelp and wind up growing on the other side of the lobby. Our collection includes a Kodiak hide that came from an animal shot on Afognak Island, close by. It is large, measuring nine feet four inches from nose to tail and unusual in that 1t IS ex- tremely blond for Kodiaks. Also there is a very fine specimen of polar bear from near Point Bar row. We have a grizzly, and a black. Another Kodiak head and a wolverine pelt complete the animal end of the display.
 A totem pole stands against one wall in the lobby. It is very. old, and a fine example of car ving-a raven totem. We also display in a show case, among other things, Attu baskets. wov- en fine as linen by a native wo- man on the island of Attu She is very old and partly blind. Since Attn was in the Japs' pos session she is either a prisoner, or dead. With her passes her find art.
 Banking here is not to be com pared with the usual procedure at home. Owing to the extremely rapid growth, we found that we could expect to be understaffed, and so would have to short cut many operations to enable us to care for the volume of work In addition to the banking hours in town, we conduct complete banking business in the pay office at the naval air station one night 8 week.
 For the most part, our custo- mers are easy to get along with-on the rough and ready side, perhaps, but not demand ing, and, in the great majority of cases, honest as the day is long 1 enjoy working with, them. During the past year and more they have been working ong hours and receive excellent pay. Some have to be taught the 'udlments of handling a bank account, but most cons truction

Kodiak Banking Has It's Differences

and ordered far in advance, and in sufficient quantities. Currency requirements, which mean noth- ing to most small banks, are real here. We carry anywhere from three-quarters of a million dol lars to million and a quarter in cash. With our usual business we also have great deal of Army and Navy payroll work, which requires lots of cash.
 During the first part of the war, backing out brought some lawlessness, because the more doubtful boys saw a chance to do some robbery on the side. For quite a time thereafter, Torgy and others, including the writer, slept in the bank lobby. We worked it in weekly shifts.
 You might wonder what we do for relaxation. So far we have not had much time for that. The country is really beautiful, and there are places to hike that ale worth the effort. Some of us have climbed some mountains; there is good duck shooting, when a fellow can get the time. Going after bear is something to look forward to, also. Fishing is good in the summer. Last sum- mer we went swimming a couple of times in a beaver lake. We all like to have bull sessions and oc- casionally play a little poker. l say a little, and mean little; some of the more reckless souls really grit their teeth at poker up here. Some games run into five figures, and I don't mean cigar coupons,
 The Army and Navy have CO., operated with us splendidly in all ways, They are a fine bunch of officers and men and being in Alaska is no bed of roses for them. They are entitled to a lot of credit for the bang up job they are doing. It isn't easy.
 Being here has been a great experience for us all, and one that, no matter where we should find ourselves in later times, should prepare us 10 meet al- most any unusual situation. As the saying is Anything can happen in Kodiak, and usually doesW

By Harvey G. Brown

(The following article IS taken from one written by MT. Brown, assistant cashier of the Bank of Kodiak, that appeared in the June issue of Banking, leading monthly publication of the Am erican Bankers Association.)
 Prior to the war, Kodiak was more or less off the beaten path. At that time it was a small fish ing village with population of 500 people, in good part Aleuts, or an admixture of Aleut and Russian blood from the days of Baranof.
 In 1889 construction was started on a naval air station near the village, which brought an influx of construction men, their families, as well as Navy and Army officers and men. No banking facilities were available.
 With this in mind o. A. Tor gerson came from Cordova, Alaska, to Kodiak in 1889 to see if the conditions warranted or ganizing bank.
 On March 4, .,940, the Bank of Kodiak opened for business, with MT. Torgerson president and cashier, and w. J. Erskine and Ben Kraft, vIce-presidents There was one employee - "Torgy'' himself, He did evey- thing from opening the door in the morning to finally writing up the general at night. His lunch was brought to him by his wife from their home up- stairs. That was how it all started.
 From that beginning the bank grew by leaps and bounds to a high figure of slightly less than $4 million in total assets in 2 and one half years. It became necessary to double the size of the banking quarters and, natur- ally, to employ more people. We now number 10 and have plenty of dut es 10 keep us out of mischief.
 arrived in Kodiak in October 1941 and met my new boss for the fist time at the dock. The bank at that time was gr,wing by jumps, and there was not time for formalities. We all worked practically night and day Kodiak was a roaring boom town, 9 man was lucky to find a place to sleep. The numerous bars were doing a land office business.
 Kodiak is 8 warm, not ffig- i'd, place. We do not bank in igloos. didn't know what an Alaskan bank might be like and Twas pleasantly surprised at

Another Mrs. Roosevelt
 Wins London

LONDON-A slender gray-haired woman in American Red Cross uni form shared a taXicab with two United States soldiers. They rode in silence for a while, then the woman spoke in a gentle voice, ask ing the men friendly little ques- tionS.
 One of the soldiers looked at the three gold service stripes on her left sleeve, and said:
 We know you, Mrs. Roosevelt. We've been in your club and had a good time.'
 When the cab stopped. Mrs, Theodore Roosevelt tried to insist that she pay at least part of the fare. The soldiers would not have it so. The one who had been do- ing the talking asserted:
 No, Mrs. Roosevelt, we're going to pay it. In fact, I'm going to pay it, and if anybody tried to stop me I'd break his arm"
 That concluded Mrs. Roosevelt, was one of the sweetest things that happened to me over here"
 While her husband, the doughty brigadier general who in two wars and other dangerous adventures has trimmed many bigger adver- sary down to his size, is fighting on one of the battlefronts, and

while her son, Quentin, is in ac- ton as an artillery lieutenant, Mrs. Roosevelt directs Red Cross Club house near London.
 We make and serve 400 dozen doughnuts daily" Mrs. Roosevelt says, and that is only one item. When you think of all the ham, burgers and the bottles of soft drink handed over the counters well, you can be sure there is plenty to do. I dream of doughnuts and hamburgers."
 But if her regular staff is inad- equate, all help possible is readily forthcoming from the soldiers.
 Mrs. Roosevelt served Is months with the Y. M c. A. in the last war.
 Tt seems" she comments, that I have always been mothering sol- diers, especially the soldiers of my

 Farm Bloc Alert
 Some more radical members of the farm bloc may press for it's abolition, but it's the general con- sensus that it will get life" with a clause written into the new exten- sion forbidding dabbling in sub- sides.
 It is noteworthy that OPA sub sidies are to be paid to the process sors, rather than to the farmers direct. It would have been waving a red flag at the farm bloc bull to inaugurate direct subsidies to the grower This way, the processor can pay higher prices to the farmer, and still exist under his ceiling prices.
 The farm bloc isn't saying much now, Don't think for minute that it hasn't got its eyes peeled, though. What it's watching is the coal mine wage negotiations, or any other wage negotiations designed to hike wages. If they are permitted to rise, under whatever face saving formula, veteran Congressional ob- servers say the farm bloc will sail over the fence and come down snorting fire.
 If that happens, the vetoed Bankhead bill is held a cinch to be revived. That bill would exclude benefit payments in figuring parity prices. FDR said it was inflation- ary. The roll back" of food prices through subsidies will come in for bludgeoning, along with frontal attack on OPA, CCC and other agencies concerned with prices, if the temper of the farm bloc has been correctly gauged.

Farmer Gets Kicked

al AAACt oGto ANlthEu
 Another squawk in Congres s against subsidies alleges that ac- tually the farmer doesn't get all the apparent subsidy. Like every body else in the country who pays federal taxes, he's nicked for part of it.
 There's another school of thought that holds subsidies contribute to the very imitation they seek to pre- vent. Anything that raises the na- tional debt, they say, contributes to imitation, and there's no doubt that subsidies are expensive.
 The OPA's first venture into subsidies is calculated to cost $3O0,- 000,00O to $400OOO,000, and that's peanuts compared to the cost if subsidization becomes general.
 The OPA subsidy program is the second federal venture into such payments. The Commodity Credit Corporation is already active in the field. The ceiling price on soybeans, for instance, is $165, but eco is guaranteeing $180 for this years crop. The same deal is being work ed in cheese, where the processor IS held to ceiling sale price, but gets subsidy so he can pay higher milk prices.
 The anti-subsidy farm bloc is looking on CCC with a jaundiced and displeased eye. It's one of the agencies limited to a definite per- lod of existence. Its time" expires

(Contlnued rom Page one) OPA into position where they have to admit that something must be done" That something can only be relief to the mining districts, regardless of whether it is increase in wages, decrease in food prices, elimination of black markets, or the granting of additional ration points to all workers in heavy war indus tries.
 He has also placed himself in a position where the CIO and AFT can do nothing but back him up The result can only be some con- sessions to the miners and, as a result of that, concessions to other heavy industries and transporta- tion. If you think that won't ele- vate Lewis again in the minds of the workers, think again.
 On the other hand, his actions have brought to light the evils of permitting strikes during wartime especially outlaw" strikes = and public indignation is forcing Con- gress to take vigorous action on that.
