Participation" was programmed

Ray Andrews, chairman, for the
day, found herself confronted with
the task of putting on a "one man
show, her co-workers all being de-
tanned for one good reason or an
other, according to the notes from
the meeting.
But the show went on just the
same and according to further re-
port Mrs. Andrews led the club,
starting from La Guardia Airport
in a riotous "Trip Around the
World" her audience coming up
from time to time with little
known facts about out of the way
places, as the tour conductor de-
scribed the cities.
For the musical interlude, Mary
Catherine Fender played Brahms
Hungarian Dance" and Hoagy
CarmichaePs "Stardust," and Jon
Sherman played, Lullaby" by
Brahams and "Merjoc" by Armen-
trout.

Communications" Theme Of Speech

leIuS was SlVeu menDetS or tue Rotary Club Tuesday by Cdr. Bob Petty, who gave the address at the weekly luncheon. Cdr. Petty is Commanding Officer of the Navy Communications Station on the Naval Station.
 The speaker said the history Of communications goes back as far as the history of the country itself. Tn the war with the British during the Revolutionary days, means had to be found to communicate between ships. The first means was by voice, flags and sema- phones. With the advent of the in cadescent lamp, it was possible to communicate distance of IT miles. <.s
 Marconi was engaged by the Navy to develop a system of con- nunication. His contribution prov ed quite successful. The use of rs. dio proved so successful that the Radio Service was formed,;in 1912. A Naval high power translnitter was, built. By the use of this medi- um, it was possible, by 1949, to communicate 5000 to $500 miles at sea, by radio ard teletype cir cults. :.
 Petty then described one of the newer Navy installations, a huge transmitter located at Arlington, Washington, which he said is the largest in the United States, and possibly in the world. It has an output of one million, two hund- red thousand watts. There are twelve 200 foot towers, and miles of wire strung 5000 feet above the valley floor, between mountain tops.
 Petty stated the Communication field is having trouble keeping up with the jet and missiles, Because of their speed, mes sages must be transmitted promptly and speedily. He listed the three requirements necessary in getting a message misunderstanding, security and speed. Reliability is the most in- portant of the three," Petty said.
 The speaker then went on to de- scribe the work of his department on the Naval Station here. It is as- suming growing importance here, he said, and Kodiak could be the focal point for communications He described the new communications station at Buskin Lake, the receiv- ing station adjacent thereto. The new receiver station being built at Holiday Beach, he said, will allevi- ate, the congestion in the latter
 Petty concluded lis remarks with some aspects and problems ot communications in Kodiak, Our antennas are not all that is to be desired" he said. Getting the mes sage through can be complicated by the hills adjacent to Kodiak. The Aurora Borealis, beautiful as it is to look at, he said, creates problems, due to its atmospheric distburances. Distances are some times easier to get to than near at hand. He gave as an instance an occasion when it was nee eceSsary to transmit 5000 miles to get a mes. sage through to a point fifteen miles away.
 Prior to Cdr. Petty's speech, Maurice Briggs, Chairman of the Student Youth Committee, spoke on the subject of Youth"
 Events scheduled by the Club are USO Pal Day program. and dinner for the teachers of the Ko- diak schools and the wives of Ro- tary members.

Gas Prices Drop

to 24.9 cents per gallon at two

While no one would say it,
the drop in prices came as an

skirts of town where prices
were as much as four cents less
per gallon.
The actual dip in prices began
when a local station changed to

er prices. A spokesman for the
station said they were not inter-

even advertised, in any form,
their drop in prices when
changing to an independent

Mower Theft Has
Moral To Story

There's a moral to the story
OF the local tccnage Negro boy
who stole a power lawn mower.
The youngStcr. too young for
his name to be disclosed. stole
the same lawn mower twice and
found it very Improbable.
Or Tuesday night, May 8, he
stole a power mower from the
home of Al Harrison. Several
days later ne took it to Dicus-
Fowler Company for repair
work
On May Is. he stopped at Die
us-Fowler and inquired about
the repair bill on the mower.
He said he would be back later
for the mower and he kept his
word. That night ne stole the
mower from behind -Dicus-
Fowler Store.
Two nights later ne paid
return visit 10 DiCus-Fowler
and stole another mower.
When the thCfts were re-
ported TO Chief II. f. Epps. he
recovered one OF the mowers in
"The Bottom" and the other on
the Pircway Road.
The moral Of the story is that
"N" shouldn't steal but if in
clined to steal a mower he
SHOULD choose one tat needs no
