KODIAK DIARY

We don't think the censor reads this column, so here would be a good place to divulge a little military information about Alaska that we picked up.
 It was interesting to us to learn that there are now 6 divis- ions of troops stationed in Alas ka and the Aleutians and an estimated 1000 aircraft. Arma- ment is piling up at Dutch Harbor, Kodiak, Nome, Kiska and Attu.
 The 6 divisions comprise mo- torized units. tank forces and parachute troops. And at num- Der of bases in Alaska and Aleutians (we won't name these, that would be going too Nar) there are cruisers and destroyers stationed, and ? specially con structed aircraft carriers for use in our northern waters.
 No wonder the Japs fear an attack from Alaska.

 I've want to make Kodiak a city. We have about everything a city should have. except one thing. Kodiak needs curfew to keep the young boys and girls of the streets at certain times.
 What's the matter with the City Council? Can't they think? Or don't they have the power to do so. Every other city in Alas ka has curfews and 1 don't see why Kodiak shouldn't. It's for the benefit of the boys and girls of this city.
