 The antennas must be precisely pointed toward each other al- though they are separated hy as much as ITO miles. Radio signals, which contain scores of telephone conversations and telegraph mess sages are beamed from the antcn- mas toward the horizon. In order to arrive at the opposite antennas, the signals are deflected by the troposphere-a layer of air ex. tending about five miles up from the earth's surface, Only a tiny scattering of the signal sent out arriveS-the rest is lost in the at mosphere.
 There are B antenna sites for relaying the signals. Most of the sites are atop mountains, and at the outset had to be reached by plane or helicopter Building the sites required construction oI roads and air strips to bring in materials.

Along The Waterfront

The big news along the water front of course is the recent de vel0pmentS on the small boat har- bor. It looks like Kodiak is steat5,- ly moving forward in the direction of, actualt caapssructisn of the long awaited boat facilities.
 Al Soifss Of the Army Engineers together with Dick Berg and Mer- Till Coon, appeared before the City i, Coqneikin a special meeting Wea E nesdayy.. The latter two are on the ChaIiber of Commerce Small Boas Harbor Committee. S3liss; stat.d he was here to determine ths roeE formation. of the harbor, its exteBt and elevation. He said his depart .ment was interested in determih- ing what is the rock and sand con. tent of beaches bordering the ha, bor. It is hoped that. much of ii may be used in construction of the breakwater.
 Soliss stated there was consider able mud in the area where the proposed breakwater is to be built. This poses a problem, he said, that hasn't been solved so far. He further stated the City must pro vide suitable rock for the contrae- tor to use~ He said that approx mately 1O7j000 yards of rock would be required for the harbor.
 Del Valleys pile driver has been hired for the purpose of probing the harbor This work IS now be ing conducted as weather permits.
 Soliss informed the Council thaa advance bids would be advertised in January and would be opened about February 20. The contract that will be let he said will be. {. continuing one aiidswill continue in operation until the original ap- proprsasti6h of $500,OoO is exhaust ed. At that time aother appropris- tion will be authorized. The Gov ernment's share, he said, will be in the neighborhood of $2,0O0, 900. Several contractors are already irt- terested in bidding, it has been learned.
 Considerable discussion arose as to the possibility of the harbor freezing up, sas the result of build ing the breakwater, cnrtailing the flow of salt water into the hafbof, It was pointed out by Councilmen that the harbor is.fed by creek near Kraft's store and other fresh cts, and the harbor may become fresh water basin. The entrance to the harbor will be approximately 200 feet wide
 Soliss pointed out that tide ac- tion would be sufficient to elimi- nate the possibility of freeze up from fresh water emptying into the basin. He said the flow in the creek was negligible in the winter Johnson suggested that SoIiss ad- wise Harold Meats of the Corps cf Engineers of the Counc IS concern over the problem.
 Councilman Pete Deveau baiefet the Council at the Mon12y nights meeting on the proposed bresH- water as indicated by the Engi neers.

 After hearing Senator James No Ian outline the various proposals now before the convention, the group held that under the strong Governor" plan now being advocat- ed, the Attorney General was one official, at least, who should be elected and. be directly responsible to the people for the interpretation of laws, and not be stooge of a strong Governor" who might well build up a political machine"
 While voicing some opposition to other features of the strong Governor" plan, the only vote talk en was on Attorney General which was unanimous in opposition
 Senator Nolan explained that under the so-called strong Gov ernor" plan only the Governor and Secretary of State would be elected officials and the latter must be of the same party as the successful Governor candidate. Attorney Gen.
