The average for that month was 39.4 inches. The average for Jan uary, 1855 was 107. The average for January for the entire IA years was 10.9l December of last year contributed considerably to the high snowfall for this winter.
 Winds contributed most to the discomfort of the average Kodiak resident. Though we don't have as much wind as in some areas, we do have our share. Despite what you may think, we haven't had an abnormal amount of wind this year, although most of us feel there has been more than enough. The maximum wind gust ever re- corded was in November, 1948, when 92 knots were tabulated. It came from the Northwest-that's S the direction the chill-charged gusts come from. On February IS, 60 knot wind gust was recorded. The prevailing winds for the year was Northwest.
 We live, of course, in what might be described as a maritime clim- ate. That usually IS temperate, and

have been kept over IA year per iod, the lowest temperature record ed here was in January 1947, when it dropped to 5 degrees below zero. The coldest day this winter was the 4th of January when 2 de- grees above was recorded. Febru- ary 18 it was Il above,
 The average temperature for Kodiak over the IA year period was 40.4 degrees. Last year it was 39.6. The maximum temperature record ed was in June, 1853, when 36 de- grees was chalked up. The highest it reached last year was 80 de grees. The record of 1853 still stands, of course.
 Like most of us, you don't have to consult chart to know there has been a heavy snowfall this year. But the official tabulation as given by Graham gives a total of 70 inches for the winter so far. How does that compare with the average over a If year period? The average is 51.9 inches. But a look at comparisons will convince you that that wasn't spun glass you were wading through in January.

 You may have thought it was cold the past week and most of the winter. Are you one of those who has said: This is the coldest wint- CT since l have been here" But are you sure? A few vital statistics will furnish you with the facts.
 We have it on good authority, in fact from the weatherman himself that,
 This has not been the coldeSt winter.
 This has been a record year for snowfall, as compared to last year
 There has been no more wind this year than previous years.

 In answer to the first question, this has not been the coldest win ter. According to records, which

Along The Waterfront

NN-N~
 Cannery was here for few days this week, on preliminary trip preparatory to opening the local cannery. He announced the ap- pointment of Mel (Bud) Sholl as foreman of the cannery this year. Bud is no stranger in these parts. He has been a machinist in the various cannerieS since he was knee-high. He came by the trade naturally. His father, Ben, was ma chinist and cannery foreman in Alaska for almost forty years. Bud has worked as machinist at Port Bailey, Ouzinkie, was foreman at the Island Seafoods and last year worked at ReSoff's King Crab, Inc. McConoghy has gone to Cordova. He expects to begin clam opera tions here about April 1.
 Alvine and Gibson report lit- tie activity. Albert Peterson's Or anius has hit the water, after ex- tensive repairs. There is more to be done on the interior, however. Hiram McAllister's Miss Arctic is now on the ways, and this veteran fisherman is stomping at the bit, so to speak, to get her back in the water and get back into production again. The Left Cape, owned by Sergei Pestrokoff, Old Harbor, is still undergoing repairs. Incident ly Ollie Sanford is back with AL vine. He worked on the Naval Sta tion for time, but returned to his first love, boat repair Ollie wants to get his feet off the ground, and expects to put the wings on Alvine and his plane this weekend.
 | Bob Resoff of King Crab, Inc, reports little activity. Boats are still hampered by bad weather, but the following were reported: The Bonnie, skippered by Abram Pana- maroff, brought in 415 for a total of 4251 lbs, ROxanna Dawn, skip per Pat Mullin, came in with 182 weighing 2O84 lbs; Julian Muller with the Julie M had 120 for 1900 lbs; GPC 12, Fred Torsen, skip per, brought in 252 for 2600 lbs; GPC Is, 18 and 19, skippered by Herman Anderson, Jerry Gougle and Nick Ketelikoff respectively, each brought in 236 for 2422 lbs, 600 for $500 and $50 for about coco lbs, in that order Resoff reports bad weather at Alitak, and the rough seas are hampering grabbing operations. The cannery lost their scow in the blow earlier in the week, and it wound up back of Krafts, which seems to be a haven for strayed boats and gear.
 At the City Dock, the Lucidor is expected in February 28, with approximately 500 tons, according to Jack Johnson, Dock Superin- tendent. All the freight for the Westward trip of the Expansion moves across the local dock: which is brought here by ASC. The freighter Westward came in while back with 5 feet of ice on her foredeck. She was a much photographed ship, having the ap- pearance of floating iseberg.

aIaskans Abandon Open Door Policy

A phase Ol AldShdu history lldS definitely passed. Its passing must bring sadness to old-time AlaSkans wherever they may be.
 Time was when Alaskans could leave their doors unlocked and re- turn to find everything intact. No longer is this true.
 There was a 319o increase in the number of burglaries reported in 1855 over 1854. A considerable proportion of the increase in this type of crime is reflected in the frequency with which outlying cabins are broken into and rifled during the summer and fa1l. In the past, many Alaskans have custom arily left their cabins open and un- attended with the understanding that its contents were available for the use of any stranger who might be temporarily stranded in the vi cinity. During recent years, the in ereasing number of cabin break ins in the rural areas, accompani- cd by the malicious destruction of property in many instances has menaced the cabin owner or rural householder to the extent that cabins are very seldom left un- locked.
 This fact was revealed in the an. nual Territorial Police report just received. The report further states that this is one of the most diff cult problems with which the De- pertinent is faced 43 persons were arrested and charged with the crime of burglary. This is an in- crease of 42%o over 1854
 This and many other facts were revealed in the Report. The mum. Der of crimes reported during the year decreased 20 as a whole. This reflected a decrease in the number of reported rapes, rob berries, grand larcenies and auto hefts, but there were increases in the crimes of murder, negligent manslaughter, burglary, as stated before, aggravated assault and pet ty larceny.
 There was decrease of approxi. mately 47q6 in the total value of property Exclusive of automo- biieS) reported stolen during 1855. There was 209o increase in ar rests for what the Department lists as Part l Class crimes, that is murder, mansiaughter, rape, az. gravated assault, robbery burglary, larceny and auto theft, over 1854.
 There was a decrease in the number of arrests made for Part Class crimes. This category in- ciudes traffic violations, other as- saults, forgery, embezzlement and fraud, carrying and possessinc weapons, prostitution and com mercialized vice, sex offenses, of lenses against family and children, narcotics drug act, liquor laws, drunkenness, disorderly conduct, vagrancy, gambling and others. An other interesting point brought out was the decrease in crime activity in the Anchorage area, but an in crease in the Fairbanks area over the previous year.
 The control of prostitution, and more particularly commercialized vice, which the Department links with the narcotics problem, is held to minimum, according to the re- port, despite the large number of single military personnel here in Alaska. It further states Alaska
