 Certainly in his supervision of radio and television programming, and particularly of live nv, En- sign Brown has brought to the job a great deal of enthusiasm, de sire to improve the facilities and output of the station, talent, and taste.
 There is probably no way of knowing how many radio listeners there are within the range of the Kodiak station, though letters re- ceived here indicate a fairly wide coverage of the island, and even of Sitklnak Island. There IS at least one listener in Seward. The potential number of TV viewers is estimated at around 5000, in cluding civilian and military per sonnel and their dependents. En- sign Brown added, ''The full i'm portance of facility such as ours cannot be measured by the size of the audience we serve; we are the only source of local radio and tele- vision broadcasting, and therefore, if we had only an audience of ten people, we'd be just as important as we are now with out several hous sands of listeners and viewers"

think that we must also please others who prefer types of music and programs other than what they like. Please don't compare what AFRTS-Kodiak presents with what the networks in the south 48 can present; for all the reasons set 0own here, comparison is inn possible"
 Ensign Brown came to AFRTS- Kodiak without experience in either TV or radio. He graduated with honors from the University of Virginia, taking a BA degree in Economies, and ROTC. We asked if he had requested his assignment here? 'No, but I consider it the best junior officer job in the en- tire outfit" he said, and gave as his reasons for thinking so, "al- ways something new and interest ing, never humdrum, and a chance to be creative.

 tempted to criticise the announcer who Hubs word, or pauses over long between phrases, it would be more fair to remember that these men come to the station totally untrained for such jobs. Whereas the Air Force and Army have rat ings for radio and TV work and train the men who aspire to these rates, the Navy has no career in the field; the seaman or airman who arrives in Kodiak and is as- signed to the station must train on the job. His shyness or shortcom- ings are understandable and though he may learn to like his job, and even become very skilled in it, he knows he can go no farther in that field in the Navy. He paints, scrubs, runs and repairs the equip ment, does all manner of main tenance work, and sometimes even builds wall in the converted bar racks that is also his home. He learns to run film projector, change and rewind tapes, tune the " picture and radio circuits, an- swer the telephone, take periodic readings on the transmitting gear, change slides, pack and label film to be shipped-all on his watch with two pairs of hands, his own and those of his partner on watch. He works 300 hours month.
 Policy is something else again, and not always understood by either the military or civilian pop ulation. We talked with the Officer in Charge, Ensign Bob Brown, who asked that we emphasize that "the guiding principal in establishing both radio and TV programming is what will please the serviceman, particularly the single service man. Our mission is to aid his mor- ale; that is why we are here. Though we appreciate the wishes and criticisms of the civilian pub lie, their wishes must be sub-ordi- nated to this guiding principal. We are happy to have programs of gen. eral public interest and we do feel responsibility toward the public; orf radio we have DJ shows and the daily bulletin boards as well as special announcements in the pub lie interest. On TV we have live News shows, the Safety Lady, You're on the Spot, the Storybook Lady and This Is Kodiak, all fine and informative shows. As to the specific complaints we have re- ceived, often people are not willing to, compromise and do not stop to
