If we were a teacher and a student came to school late with the excuse that she "had to stop to find someone to kill an injur- ed pigeon" we are sure we would raise a very skeptic eyebrow. Like this
 But that was the story last week of Gail Blankenburg, 7th grade student.
 On her way to school she hap pened along just in time to see a local truck hit pigeon in the road across from H. Pinch's. The pigeon began Hopping about the street, badly injured.
 Gail began looking for some one to do something about 1t and finally found Bill Fitzgerald (there weren't many about, as this was before nine o'clock). Bill came to the rescue and put the pigeon out of it's misery and Gail proceeded late to school. It was the first time ln Der school career, both Outside and during three years at Kodiak, that she had ever been tardy.
 We might suggest, in view of emergencies that might arise, that Gail should be more of an early bird, but that wouldn't be putting it so well, considering what happened to the pigeon.

You remember we told you about Bob Korn, mayor of Cor dova and owner of the Imperial in that city, wiring Bob Lunday, manager of the Orpheum and former owner of the Imperial, for the combination to the safe, after several years use of said safe.
 o. A. Torgerson, who just re- turned from Anchorage for 8 jury session, met Bob Korn, who wss also there for the jury session, and Korn told Torger- son that the combination wired to him by Lunday was not the right one.

Note to Democrats Celebrate your victory-Buy War Bonds!

1 pr. Eugene Sullivan, local
 dentist, fought in France in the last war and so follows with ut l most interest the news from that sector of war during the current conflict. From his hometown paper, (Minneapolis) he clipped the following for us. It is one vivid sample of the feelings in that country:
 ITO 8 congregation made up largely of people who had spent the previous night fighting the Germans behind barricades, a clergyman preached as follows: There is one thing that we must not forget right now; that this war is not ended. It is not enough to win a victory. We saw that in 1918. What remains to be done is to kill every Ger man.
 1t often happens that, when war has been won and victory been assured, our minds soften. Let us pray God to have the strength and courage to go on to the end. Every bullet must kill it's Boche, every bomb must find its target. There must be no dis tinction between soldiers and civ Iilians in the destruction of men, women and children. For we speak of a damned race.
 I know that, when l speak as do, preserve the spirit of the Bible-at least of the Bible that lis read from beginning to end and not only in it's soft and gentle passages because God IS as terrible toward the evil as He | is kind toward the good and humble.
 Let us therefore pray to God to exercise his severity against this people, to send 1t disasters and floods worse than anything until now; punishments more terrible than the 10 plaques of Egypt. Let their towns be more completely destroyed than Jerusalem. The objectis to finish for all time with those whom, mindful of certain passages in the Holy Bible. I may rightly call the damned Boche, the damned swinish Boche. So be it
 Although it was a church, the congregation applauded."

but that they are not in such a
high state of proficiency as in pre-

conferred the initiatOry degree on
several candidates in a creditable

hope to dramatize it in the near

POSTWAR Problems Are Discussed
BY Milford Clergyman

Rev. Dr. Frank HersOn. pastor
of Avenue Methodist Church. was
guest speaker at the weekly din
ner meeting OF the Milford Rotary
Club on Monday evening.
The program was arranged by
David Sills and Wilmer o. Lank-

Rev. Herson read a most inter-

and the active part the Christian
church as collective whole is
planning to take in helping to
win the Peace" and the ground
work they are laying at the pres
ent time for the coming peace. DIR.
Herson echoed the hope of all that
at the close of present hostilities
the victors would not be the losers
and the vanquished would not be
the winners, like they were in and
after 1918.
Shockley Daugherty made the
