The Russian church building which burned Saturday was 68 years old, having been erected in 1875 with finances provided by the Holy Synod. The church was founded, however, in Kodiak Tn 1794, when Baranov and his men moved from the first Russian set clement at Three Saints bay af- ter a tidal wave there wrecked the village, and the local congre- grafton had been laying plans for some time for celebration Of the 150th anniversary next year of the oldest Russian Greek Ortho- dox church in North America.
 Baranov, on moving north, settled first in the neighborhood of Chiniak bay and a church was built there but 1t was soon de- cided to move to the present site cf Kodiak OF St PauPs harbor and the church was moved too. A building for it, the first here, was located atop the hill on the spot where the city hall now stands and was of simple frame construction It was dismantled later. By coincidence the same ground was devoted to holy uses in later years when the Baptist church built on the same site the building for their services, which is now the city hall The Baptist property was sold to the city af ter completion of the new Bapt- ist church On Signal hill,
 When the Holy Synod decided to build the new church a deacon was sent from San Francisco to supervise the work. He was

from three.
 The largest bell was the new est one, having been added to the church in 1912 after being cast in the Middle West. It was hung with the others in a separ- ate building when the tower be- came weakened but all were placed back in the tower later The third largest bell was cast in Kodiak ID the late ZOOS for the first building and it is the one credited with the distinctive, cacophonic clang, that distin- guished the bells from all others. The tenor bell, which fell in the fire and broke, and the two smaller bells, which melted, were cast at the Garret Company in San Francisco.
 In 1890, when the church was IS years old, it was remodeled by adding siding inside and out to cover the old beams and by removal of the glass partitions. The interior then consisted of four radiant rooms opening into the two-story center cupola, which was octagonal shaped. There was the back room and main altar. the right wing with it's altar and choir stall with raIl- ing (without seating), the left wing also with an altar and the Il ilitarian oil heater, and the fore room, where, as in the wings, the members of the congregation stood. Members of the church are never seated but stand through all services, many of which last

Father Vaselie Netsvatov, a church architect, which Tn old Russia was trade by itself that required long preparation. Local labor was employed in the con struction at soc a day. Theodore Astragin, member of a Russian family which, like so many others, has slnce died out, was in charge of finishing the church, and it was Astragin who did the final work on the last part of the church to be completed-the left wing. Astragin also was the one given the task of assembling a three tiered iron chandelier, dec orated with crystal, which had been fabricated in Greece. There was some difficulty in getting it together, so it was finally hung, as it still was at he time of the fi,e, with only one circular tier 10 hold the many candles
 The church was much different in appearance then. The build ing was constructed of large, sol i'd, square beams, laid horizon tally and the roof was covered with wooden shingles The bells were not all hung then, and the interior was of the sane rouCh beams, with two glass partitions separating the right and left wings from the rest of the church
 Legend wrongly relates that the bells were forged in Kodiak, and again that they came from Seward, or Sltka, or San Fran cisco. Truth to tell the five bells came not from one place but

Attempt To Kill
 Charged

Robert Anderson, formerly employed at the Mecca, is held in jail here to answer to the grand jury with bail set at $1O,OOO by U s. Commissioner c. c. Naughton Wednesday af- ter 8 hearing on charge of as sault with intent to kill.
 The complaint was made by Jack Delane, manager of Ships Tavern, who charged that And erson attempted to kill his own infant daughter. Rose Mary, 5 weeks old, by trying to smother her.
 The incident IS alleged to have occurred Tuesday evening in the DeIane apartment behind the tavern. Mrs. Delane and Mrs, Anderson were in the apartment, according to testimony, when Anderson entered. Testimony in dicated that he had been drink Mg and that he struck Mrs. And- erson and then grabbed the in- fant from the bed by the head and holding one hand over its face pressed hard, at the same time shaking it. Both women tried to stop him and Mrs. Delane ran into the tavern and got her hus- band who met Anderson as he came from the apartment. De- lane struck Anderson and knock ed him unconscious. The baby, which was described as having "tllrned black, was taken to an adjoining apartment and pr. Johnson was called. The baby recovered and is said to have suffered no serious effects.

Mystery Fire His Famed Russian Church


 proudly stood on it's hilltop To- cation dominating the town with the beauty of it's Byzantine architecture, buwark of the, faith of the old families of Kod- iak and a mecca for every ad- miring newcomer, stands now, cbarred and desolate-looking, as the result of fire which struck it Saturday evening after the regular evening services.
 The fire alarm was sounded at 1922 pm but the fire had gain ed such headway before being discovered that firemen, aided by military men and equipment, were only able to extinguish the blaze in time to save surround ing structures, including the ad-
 iacent Standard Oil storage
 tanks. The fire, evidently start ing in the main altar area, spread rapidly and after gaining ground reached the front bell tower and roared upward into
 the belfry, sllhouetting the bells in the angry red flames. For , time it looked like nothing would remain of the structure but after stubborn battle ot
 over an hour and a half the flames were extinguished, leav- ing the walls and most of the roof still standing but badly charred. The two bulbous cross towers with their double-armed Russian crosses still survive a. bove the bleak ruins.
 Most tragic consequence of the fire was the loss of fireplace able ikons, chalices, and bibles and other church paraphernalla, some of it dating back to the first church building at Three Saints Bay. They had been re- moved to a remote place of sale ty after the start of the war but had recently been returned to the church. The vestments of Father Gregory Gleboff, priest of the church. were also destroyed.
 Fire Chief William Nelder- hauser said the cause of the fire could not be determined but that official investigation IS con tinuing, especially in view of some evidence left by the fire ana because of the mystery sur rounding its start. It has been determined that there was no fire in the oil heater, that two gasoline lamps are not used Tn the dayiit late evenings of sum- mer, and that all the candles had been extiDguished. Services were out about 9 pm and two ladies of the congregation ey- tinguished all candles. Rev. Gleboff, after showing an Army officer and companion through the church, left the church lock- ed about 9:2O. At the Merrill Coon residence behind the church first indication of fire

BlackOut Notes
Lighting And
Forest Fires
State Air Raid Director
Calls Attention To
Illumination

In a recent Directive of Col. Henry
8. Barrett, State Director, Air Raid
Precaution Services, he calls atten-
ton to an Order of the Eastern De-
Tense Command relative to blackout
illumination. The use of blue lights
for blackout is prohibited. 1t is
interesting to note that blue light
affects the human eye one thousand
times as much at night as it does
during the day while red lights (now
determined to be the most satisfac-
tory colors for blackout use) affects
the human eye no more at night than
during the daytime. At low levels of
illumination, the human eye is SEN
sitive to colored lights in the follow
ing orders: blue { highest SENSITIVE
ty), green, white, yellow, orange,
lowest sensitivities).
Until approved filters have been
manufactured sufficiently for distri-
button for two-celled flashlights, pro-
viding a red or orange-red light in
accordance with the Army specifica-
tons or low intensity white light,
a satisfae Substitute may be pro-
vided byS .yering the fiashight lens
with three thicknesses of newspaper
Or e thickness of newspaper
and o1e~~-~kness of red cellophane.
Col. Barrett further points out the
serious problem confronting Mary
and at this season of the year from
forest Tres due to the long drought
everything is as dry as it can be,
and very little will start confagra-
ton that would soon get beyond con-
troll and cause tremendous damage.
Civilian Defense personnel should
exercise great care and judgment in
connection with fires and do every
thing in their power to aid the Forest
Fire Service in lighting fires. He
further suggests that severe penalties
should be imposed on anyone who
starts fire that car. not be control
led.
This is an opportunity for Civilian
Defense to do good work and he re-
quests the newspapers to disseminate
