EX-SERVICE MAN CHANGES
MIND ABOUT GIRL HE WROTE

my mind is troubled. When
was in service I correspondent
with a girl for two years I had
never met. After being discharged, I
made a trip to her home town to
meet her. She was nice looking and
refined but some how was not eX-
actly what I had expected. I did not
write her regularly after that, but
but a few months ago / started
writing her regularly again. She
stays in my mind all of the time. She
writes such nice letters. Can you
figure this one out? Oct 3, 1924"
Ans: You let your imagination run
wild when you were corresponding
with the young lady and anturally
you felt led-down when she failed to
come up to your expectations. She
impressed you a lot more than you
think. Proof of that is that you can't
seem to get interested in anyone
else. You had better make another
trip to her home town. You won't
find her changed - she's just nice
wholesome girl. This time, you'll
appreciate her.

 Funds City Hears

The construction of Kodiak's 8 long Lromise6 boat harbor de- pends on how fast the gasoline tax money rolls into the territor- ial treasury.
 Promised to the city over a year ago by Frank Metcalfe. ter: ritorial highway engineer, the al location of funds for the project has hit one snag after another. How ever, a recent telegram from Mayor Lee BettiDger, who is in Washington to testify on the statehood and other Alaskan bills, advised the city that it had been granted title to U 5 surv ey 1857 which will be used for ap anchor for the breakwater.
 According to Metcalfe the al- location of $5O,OOO was held up because the city dld not have ti tie to this strip of land
 A letter from A. A Owen third divisiOn representative, to the city said, "Victor c. Rivers, engineer for the project, had been advised by Metcalfe that the money would be forthcoming soon but that gas tax money was coming in slowly"
 Owens letter also pointed out that Kodiak is near the top of cities scheduled to receive alloca- tions and that construction might start in August or Sept. ember.
