To Keep Pork

SEVERAL DIFFERENT times I've
read where people have difficulty in
keeping pork fresh in a locker.
Our method of keeping it is to pro-
cure cardboard ice cream cartons in
one gallon size, " gallon if desired,
cut hams, shoulders and back bone
in roast-size pieces, pack two OF
three pieces in each carton to about
4 inches from top, cover with water
to 2 inches from top cover and put
in locker.
We kept some a year and it was
as fresh as when put in. Can be cut
for steaks when taken out for use.
The meat has never tasted rancid

Tide, Wind
 Do Dam age

One of the highest tides of the year plus an easterly wind that blew steadily for 36 hours cause damage to beach roads and left lots of debris on Ko- diak beaches early this week. Water rolling over the road between the Beachcombers and the Baptist Mission caused the Kodiak Shopper to shorten it's regular run and at 12::53 pm high tide on Monday, water was running within inches of the floors of o. Kraft and Son and Donnelley and Acheson.
 Navy Weather Central re- ported gusts up to 641 knots and the highest hourly aver age on Monday as 37 knots. Wind was reported as blowing from the east, but after 36 hours shifted to the southeast and the water receded.
 Filings and timbers were washed onto Marine Way through the road entrance to the beach and also lodged un- der Kraft's store.
 The log seawall and dirt fill in front of the Kodiak Bot ting Works was damaged, the high water leaving great dents in the fill.
 In the Coast and Geodetic Tide Table manual which lists Kodiak, high tide on Monday was 10.7 feet and on Tuesday 10.4.
 Owners of small fishing vessels and skiffs secured their boats and no losses were re- ported.

Board of Education members
slightly puzzled.
No, say School Supt. Hobart M

colored, a teacher at the Thomas
Elementary School, presented her
request to the board that she be
allowed to practice law from $50
pm. to $50 pm. on weekdays and

that applications of employees to

referred by the superintendent Of
