At another point it says
theoretically" we are at peace.
This statement brought the
following comment from Mr..
Wine:
"(ID suggests that the Air
Force has arrogated to itself
the constitutional prerogative
of the Congress to determine
when a state of war exists"
Mr.. Wine in his letter to
Mr.. Gates says the Council
vigorously protests that a
service document prepared by
an agency under the auspices
of the United States Govern
ment contains edited ma
terial regarding the Christian
churches of America.
THE appearance of this
material, in the circumstances,
IS a patent contravention of
the First Amendment of the
Constitution of the United
States"
'InSidious and Absurd
He also said that to imply
some relationship between the
Revised Standard Version of
the Holy Bible and commu-
niSm is inSidious and absurd"
And, he says, Ito aver by
innuendo that the National
Council of Churches is asso-
ciated or in any way influenced

example of responsibility at
its worst"

Security Education"
The manual was prepared to
outline the Air Forces security
education program.
Under the letterhead of
Headquarters, Continental Air
Command, Mitchell Air Force
Base, N. Y, it bears the sigma
ture of Brig. Gen. j. M. Chap
pell.
The document said com
manders at all levels of COM
mand must maintain a dyna-
mic, hitting security edu-
cation program" Such a pro-
gram, it continued, should
motivate personnel by convinc-
ing them of the reality of the
dangers of espionage, sabotage,
Subversion, compromise or any
other actions that might hinder
the accomplishment of an Air
Force mission.
In detailing subversive acts
against the United States, the
manual quoted the House Un-
American Activities Committee
and Louis Budenz, a former
Communist who at one time
was labor editor of the Daily
Worker.
"Watch for Grumbles"
Enlisted men were told in

President Eisenhower today
expressed a tolerant view of
Frances decision to begin nu-
clear weapons tests in the Sa-
hara and a cautious hope based
on the new Soviet position in
the test-ban talks in Geneva.
The President also reassured
West Germany that Britain,
France and the United States
would go to the summit con-
ference May 16 with views rep
resenting the common con-
viction of the four" including
Chancellor Adenauer's govern
ment.
At his news conference, Mr..
Eisenhower was asked about
reports the West German
Chancellor was worried that the
Western Big Three might take
"a new position weakening it's
hold on West Berlin when they
meet with Soviet Premier
KhruShchev.
He said he considered it
"only natural" that first Britain
and then France should have
decided to make the effort to
become nuclear powers "in the

derstand them and know them"

Mrs. Kraft taught school here
from 1926 to 1885. She continued,
"The school was behind the bank
and it was quite the last word in
luxury when we moved in with
five teachers. There is one small
building of the original still stand
ing; the rest was torn down long
ago. We had an elected school
board that hired the teachers, but
this was amusing = they always
knew down to the last vote who
voted for whom.
I'VE had library; the Woman's
Club started it. There were few
of us but we were very serious a.
bout this. We took turns review
ing books of our choice and then
the book became the property of
the library. The library was hous-
ed with two school teachers, the
two impartial ones.
I'VE had law and order too, but
until the town was incorporated
the law was administered by a u.
S. Deputy Marshall. Frequently
when someone ran afoul of the
law they called or a jury trial. In
so SIN, Il community the chances
were good that friends or rela-
tives would be on the jury, and

CONVICTIONS were hard to come by
at times. recall one instance when
a man was accused of stealing
some tools. After the evidence was
placed before the jury they re-
tired and came in with a verdict
of Not Guilty, but better return
the tools We have never had
much crime here, though: Kodiak
has never been a violent town like
some places in Alaska.
There were two stores when l
came here, and they are still here,
Kraft's, established in 1908, and
Erskine's now Donnely and Ache
son. They dominated the town;
people traded with them and bank
ed their money with them. The
lwo Ii tlihoods were hunting and
fishing and at the end of the sum-
mer they paid their bills at the
stores. My husband, Ben Kraft,
grew UP in the store and worked
there all his life. worked there
for 16 years and was on a buying
trip in the states when | came
down with circulatory trouble"
Mrs. Kraft showed us an old
picture, long line of customers
waiting to get into the. store dur
ing the war. When the monthly
boat arrived, Kraft's allowed each
woman one pair of nylons, but
only if she appeared in person to
get them. Nylons and liquor were

the only items anyone had to stand
in line fer in Kodiak during the
war.
The coming of the war and the
construction crews for the base
was when Kodiak changed" Mrs.
Kraft said. ut was hard life for
women who followed their hus-
bands here. They expected to find
homes, and when they couldn't,
expected to be able to live in the
next town. OF course there was no
next town. We had no lumber in
quantity, nor other building ma
terials. There was no need for
building until the base came and
people put up all sorts of little
Shacks just to have roof over
head. remember one women COM
planned that she had no refriger-
ator she was shocked when | told
her l had never had one and didn't
need one.
''Once when | went outside dur
ing the war, spoke to a group in
Kansas. On the other hand, they
expected me to tell them | lived
in an igloo. | told them, No l
had no ice house, but a nice ready
cut Gordon Van Tyne home; no
electricity, but we had everything
else They thought / was a fake.
There was lots of tension here
in wartime. We really thought we
might be invaded, but one of the
worst things was the passenger
steamer = no lights and no locks
on the doors.
We'll, those days are gone now
and Kodiak is still the quiet little
town l have always loved. have
to spend my winters in California
but all my affiliations are here.
l belong to the American Legion
Auxiliary, BPW, the Emblem Club
and the Grandmothers' Club of
Kodiak. I've always enjoyed the
Grandmothers' Club so much. It
doesn't require us to do anything
except be sociable and have a good
time.
Il might mention that l was
elected and served on the Kodiak
Public Utility board just before
the town was incorporated. l also
served on the first City Council
and was reelected for a second
term. My son, Wilton White, has
served on the City Council, and
has just been reelected, perhaps
the only second generation in that
capacity"
We thought it shame that one
who so longed to live here was
forced to go elsewhere, for even
part of the year. Mrs. Kraft answer
ed, when l found out I couldn't
stay in Kodiak all year round l

sorry for myself, and took up two

horse or boat. There were two
teams of horses but there was only
one road out of town, one way
track to the cannery. We walked
everywhere The horses belonged
to the Experimental station. The
stores made their deliveries by
boat to the people who lived near
the beach; if not, then your gro
ceries and coal and other supplies
were delivered by wheelbarrow
It was indeed considered a bol1
move when the Kraft store brou sht
the first delivery truck to town"
Some people named ALBERT
owned a ranch about where the
runways interSect ON the Naval
Base; to get back and forth to town
they went over and down a cliff
by rope, waited for low tide and
then went around the rocks on
very narrow strip of beach. Mrs.
ALBERT travelled to Woman's Club
meetings in this manner. Mrs.
Kraft has been told that before
she lived in Kodiak, Otto Kraft
had the one telephone In town, a
single line from his store to his
home. Then when the Experiment
tai station came in, just prior to
1912, the Navy built a radio sta
ton on Woody Island and extend
ed a cable from there to the
Erskine dock and up the hill to
the Experimental station offices
on ACS hill. This single line was
used for the first telephone sys-
tenn in Kodiak. Mrs. Kraft added,
eve had about sixteen people on
the one line. 1t was a good way
to visit with your friends.
I'VE had a community social
Life too everybody went to
church ON Saturday night and
then on Sunday night we had a
community dance at the social hall
in Blinn's Building. Local musici-
ans played, a guitar violin or two,
but l never saw any square dane
ing. Whenever a cutter came in,
and good many came, there was
a mid-week dance for them. Kodi-
ak was somewhat of a social center
in those days"
We were curious about medical
care at the time. well, we didn't
have any regular doctors when l
first came; in 1919 there was
DR.. Buckley who stayed for little
while, then a first aid man, Doc
Lane, who had quite bit of train
ing, and after him, a DR.. Pryor
The Civic Welfare Committee of
the Woman's Club in 1924 procur-
ed a resident, licensed physician,
DR.. c. L. Hawk, who stayed for
perhaps five years. The way we
usually got doctors in those days
was for eight or ten families to
sponsor them and guarantee a
certain salary.
During the time when Kodiak
was without a doctor we didn't
always ask too many questions
when help appeared. On one of
the monthly boats came man who
rented the former Dr.'s house,
hung up his diploma from a rep
utable medical college, and i'm
mediately had a flourishing bus
mess as an MD. After a time the
us. MarShall's office began in
quiries. The man posed as mem

of the members was delegated TO
run check on the doctor; he re-
ported back that the newcomer

so that was that.

Kodiak for a longer time than
almost anyone else not born here.
She said, 81 finished Al years in
Kodiak in July but my time in
Alaska pre-dates that a little. l
went up to Fairbanks in 1917 with
my first husband Mr.. White was
in the Department of Agriculture
which had five experimental sta
tions in Alaska. Each station repre-
scented some form of Alaskan de-
velopment; the one on Kodiak was
for cattle development, with head
quarters in town and sub-station
at Kalsin Bay. It closed around
1880 during the depression when
the government had to cut ex-
peHditures.
When | first came here there
we're about 500 people in the town
and few scattered out around
where the base is now. We had to
be very sel-sufficient; communities
tions were quite limited and only
one boat a month brought mail
and supplies. That was the old
Admiral Line. The day of arrival
was a holiday for the town and
everybody went down to the dock
to see the ship.
I'm those days we formed little
groups that were congenial; each
of the two churches, the Greek
Orthodox, and the Baptist Mission
on Woody Island, had its own
group. The Children's Home was
on Woody then too"
AS the years passed various
groups formed other clubs, A
Woman's Club, affiliated with the
National Club, followed several
years later by a garden club and
BPW, Ells, and the Emblem Club,
the Elks Auxiliary. in later years
Rotary and Chamber of Com
MERGE were chartered and brought
the townspeople closer together,
consolidating common interests.
Mrs. Kraft continued, Il am the
only one left from the original
Woman's Club; The others, and
there are just few, are either
dead or living outside. Of course,
now my health requires that I go
to a warmer climate during the
winter but all my interests are in
Kodiak and it is still my home.
This house has been my home for
IS years, ever since l married Mr..
Kraft, but long before that I home
steaded ON Holiday Island, spend
ing the summers there. We used to
keep chickens and cows there, and
goats. We have two houses on the
island still and year round care
taker; it's nothing fancy but the
beaches are lovely for picnicing
and our family enjoys a great many
of them
Mrs. Kraft continued, kodiak
was a much neater town when l
came here the spring of 1919. The
houses were not all crowed to-
gether and they were painted and
kept up better. The Russian titles
gave each family a plot of land
inside white picket fence. Dur
ing the thirties the land office
man went crazy trying to straigh-
ten out these titles; the bound
aries were 4 tree here, rock
there.

lively promoted the small car
concept in the United States.
And it was just over two years
ago that ANS Rambler sud-
denly caught fire with the
public. Since then Rambler
sales have doomed and sales
figures keep mounting.
With its 1859 Lark, Stude-
baker-Packard cast its lot on
the smaller side. The Lark,
too. won public acceptance and
red ink turned to black in
South Bend.
In both cases the independent
companies put all their eggs
in the small size basket. Now
the big three are trying to
sell both large and small cars.

companies are saying "lots of

from their own bigger cars"

Mr.. Romney refers to Amer

He says his company has 20
years experience on untitled
bodies, which Ford, GIN and
Chrysler adopted for their
smaller cars. American, he adds,
has moved into a relatively
strong financial position with a
vigorous dealer organization.
American Motors and Stude-
backer-Packard both offer six
and eight cylinder models
while the big three have stuck
to SKIES. AM expanded its 1860
line to include a three-seat
station wagon in its 108-inch
Ramblers and a four door
sedan in the 100-inch Ameri-
can series.

and the first convertible to be

Station wagons are promised

made only conservative styl-
ing changes. The American has
remained virtually unchanged,
except for the new four-door
model, for the last three years.
