Savoy's Halnsters
Have Hamsters

Louis Savoy, local resident,
has made his contribution to
the animal world of Kodiak
Island.
Along with several other
"firsts" this week was the
birth of eight baby hamsters
to a pair that Savoy is raising.
He obtained the father and
mother hamsters two weeks
ago, with a pen for the little
animals. This week the female
presented Savoy with the ad-
ditional prolific animals.
II think these are the first
hamsters to be brought to the
island" said Savoy.
He explained that he did not
intend to raise the animals for
commercial purposes.
Several people have said
they would like to have some
of the animals" Savoy added.
Hamsters, according to
Webster's dictionary, are a

Foley Puts Frogs
In Lily Pond

"A hundred years from now
when the future residents of
Kodiak have forgotten our
names, one local sportsman
will still be talked about.
That man is Jake Foley.
Foley will probably be COM
pared to Johnny Appleseed, an
early American pioneer, who
travelled west from the east
coast and planted app e seeds
wherever he stopped over
night. H."
While Foley's contribution
to Kodiak history is not of .
horticultural nature it never
theless will prove as great to
future fishermen and sports
men.
Recently Foley planted Tor
transplanted) 16 gigantic long
legged bull frogs in one of
the lily ponds on the island.
: The frogs were brought to
Foley from Long View, WASH,
by Irving Taylor who grew"
them in the yard of his home.
Last year Taylor brought
Foley some frog legs and they
proved so delicious that Foley
decided to get the live article
and grow his own.
