Church To Probe 3 Timely Topics

A series of 6 discussions upon 3 problems in American life, sell ected by the Religious Educa- tion committee, has been an- nounced by the Community Baptist church. The committee members, Miss Rose Graziano, MT. Guy Mlllegan, Mrs. G. s. Morony and the Pastor, chose these problems: prisoners of war i'll internment camps in the United States; foreign language speaking groups in our cities; and the American Indian. It IS felt that Christian people must anticipate in solving these problems and tat the church with the message and teachings
 f Christ can offer invaluable help.
 Specially experienced people have consented to lead the dis cussions as follows:
 Jan. F & 24-Prisoners Of war in internment camps. Led by Cpl. William Clarl, who re- gently came to Kodiak after many months stationed at the German prisoner camp at Camp Breckenridge, Kentucky, and who had charge of g company of prisoners. The camp was pie tured ill life" Nov. 13

Bear Re ady As Ship Gift
(See picture, Page l)

When the steamship Kodiak Victory, launched at Portland Oregon, Dec. l9, sails on her maiden voyage, the vessel will carry in her officers quarters lbe mounted head, shoulders and front claws of one of Kodiak islands famed, large Kodiak bears.
 The three-quarters mounting of the bear, the gift of the people of ths town of Kodiak, has been completed by the firm of Jonas Brothers, taxidermists, ll09 Fourth Avenue, Seattle.
 Beneath the mounting is 8 silver plaque inscribed:
 Presented to s. s. Kodiak Victory by the people of Kod- iak, Alaska, home of the worlds largest bear."
 Harry Christopherson and w. A. "Pat" Cannon, owners of Christy's bakery, bagged the huge animal last spring.
 In an interview in the Seattle Times, Christopherson, who has been visiting at his home ir Shelton. Wash. said:
 N'We came upon the big fellow in a thicket near Uganik, north western part of Kodiak island He was about 75 feet from us when we first saw him. Armed with powerful rifles, we both took two shots at the bear, SCOT ing hits. There were several tense moments as the huge fel- tow came toward us, a distance of about 25 feet, before he drop ped. In all my big-game hunting experience he was the first bear to charge me after being shot.
 "The bear weighed between 1900 and 2000 pounds and measured II feet 6 inches from nose to tail. We skinned the big fellow on the spot and dragged the hide a distance of about a mile. We turned the skin over to the Rotary Club of Kodiak

young lieutenant, who agreed to
try what he suggested if all else
failed. The corporal was pre-
vailed upon to tell the colonel that
the lieutenant wanted to see him,
and the young flier walked into
the inner office.
Suddenly, the door burst open
and the lieutenant beckoned him
in.
1.-THE colonel has agreed to let
us switch, Captain!"
There are many U. S. Army
hospitals in North Africa, with
ambulance planes flying from
most of them to battlefronts.
There was no reason for Jerry
to feel sure that he would be as
signed to the hospital base at
which Laura was stationed, but
he felt very confident.
There was more than just coin
cidence in the matter, however
Laura's hospital had recently been
expanded by taking over of an
other large building on the edge
of town. When the annex open
ed, there were suddenly a few
hundred more hospital beds avail
able. This meant more planes
pilots, and nurses were needed
at that base at the particular time
that Jerry received his orders.
He and his co-pilot-a young
redhead named Fitzhugh-flew
their plane to North Africa by
way of Brazil and the tiny mid
ocean dot which is Ascension Is
land. It was only when they
landed at the chief airfield on
| the western coast of Africa that
they learned their eventual des-
tination.
The next morning, he and Fitz-
hugh brought their plane down
at Laura's hospital base and Jer-
ry could hardly get through the
necessary reporting fast enough.
He inquired about Laura and
learned to his dismay that she
was on a flight to Italy.
"Sort of expected her to meet
me-" he said. Don't know why
the war should stop, though, just
because Captain Donaldson ar
rives in North Africa"
A plane came in from Italy, but
it was not Laura's. A few nurses
off duty came to the field for a
stroll, looking for the planes that
were due to come in with in
creasing frequency in the next
two hours. They stood close to
Jerry while he waited, and he
heard that they, too, were talking
about Colonel Boston.
"He's really the handsomes
thing I ever saw" one nurse said.
II like the big tall ones like that. "
Jerry's ears tingled. So this
Colonel Boston was crazy about

saluted and walked out of the

Just as Jerry was leaving the

after having been turned down
for duty in North Africa, he over
heard something a young lieu

the corporal at the desk in the

Laura, was he? Jerry would
have to do something about that.
"Say," he suddenly muttered to
himself, "Laura's on his plane!
That's bad!"
Jerry moved out of earshot Of
the group of gossiping nurses at
the airfield SO that he would hear
nothing else about Laura and
Colonel Bob Boston that might
disturb him.
"She's got to be nice to the COM
manding officer, hasn't she?" he
argued to himself.
But when the next ambulance
plane landed and TAXED in from
the field, he couldn't help being
disturbed. For there was Laura
being lifted down by this giant
of a colonel, who set her gently
on the ground as if she were
doll. And Laura didn't seem to
mind.
However, the very sight of her
drove every other thought from
Jerry's mind, and he rushed for
ward with a cry.
Laura whirled around at the
sound of his voice.
"JerryH' she cried. Jerry
Jerry!''
She raced across the ground,
forgetting Boston and even her
patients in the plane. Jerry grab
bed her and whirled her around
three times, breathlessly planted
half dozen kisses on her lips
and cried, Surprise! Surprise!
Never expected me to turn up
here, did your"
Meanwhile, Bob Boston and
Don Dickey had stood beside their
plane witnessing this scene with
out a word. Finally, Bob took
off his cap and shook his head
ruefully.
"Wouldn't you know it," he
exclaimed. "Of all the places in
the world that guy could be sent,
this had to be it! He's the gals
boy friend!"
though luck!' Don commiser-
ated.
"Never met a gal quite like that
one," Bob said.
well, don't give up so easily,
Don said.
maybe I won't, son; maybe I
won't"
They walked slowly off the
field, looking at Jerry as he am
bled toward the hospital.
In ten minutes Laura joined
him there, and they walked off
together, each talking so fast that
they could barely hear what the
other was saying. Jerry told
Laura the last details of his trans
fer, about the switch with the
lieutenant so that he could come
to North Africa, and his trip
across.
It was a half hour before he
thought of Bob Boston again.
"Say-that Boston," he said.
''I hear he's crazy about you"
Don't be silly" Laura replied,
but was afraid that she might
blush. what makes you say
that?"
Heard it all around the place
while I was waitin' today" Jer-
ry said. "Guess you kind of like
him, too?"
"Sure I like him." Laura re-
torted. $50 does everybody. He's
one of the grandest men I've ever
known, and he's positively the
best flier in the world"
"Wow! That's pretty strong"
Jerry exclaimed.
