WARNING
In the hectic and frantic hours following the disaster when everyone was busy trying to do their part to assist everyone else, crews of men, trucks and cars decended upon Naughton's Bakery seeking whatever was not spoiled by the flood waters that might be edible for the Civil Defense Kitchen warehouse set up for refugees. Among the items taken was a carton of "Enrichment wafers" used by commercial bakeries to enrich their products with various desireable vitamins. These little wafers, the size of a quarter and l/8th inch thick, are marvelous for enriching the huge commercial batches of bread BUT, they are NOT good for eating or using otherwise. They will make a person sick and turn one's skin yellow. These wafers contain enough vitamins for 1,120 people a day! All area residents are cautioned NOT to use these wafers.

STRANGE HAPPENINGS
Curtis Saxton, local teacher and skipper-owner of the boat Gary tells us about seeing his crewless boat ride out of the harbor on one great surge of water during the tidal waves and disappear into the darkness headed in the direction of the Naval Base. He never saw the Gary again that night and figured it was among the missing sunk boats. However, at 6:00 a.m. the next morning while looking out a window of their house which sets above the beach down near where Pearson's boat storage used to be, Curtis and his wife Grace were amazed to see Gary come slowly sailing out from behind Near Island. As they watched Gary, which was riding high and dry, the boat came across the channel and finally rested quietly - right in front of their house! Skipper Len Helgason on his Foggy Cape put a line on her and towed it on up further in shore where Curt said he found almost no damage whatever to Gary. The Saxton's, who witnessed several vessels sink in the Near Island Channel near to their home, expressed gratitude to Skipper Helgason for his assistance in getting Gary back unharmed.

CHINIAK ROAD
Two Chiniak employees this week made it into town riding motorcycles. Floyd "Chico" Gentis and Fred Hicks had to blaze trail in some areas at the headlands of Kalsin and Middle Bays. On their return trip they made it back in three hours and twenty minutes. And Tom Saia made the trip in a four wheel drive jeep. We received the following message from John & Sally Nosick who operate the Rendevous in Middle Bay: "Just wanted you to know we are not isolated out here, a four-wheel drive can make the Middle Bay washouts at low tide. Joe Zentner rode in on horseback from Pasaghak on day...also Ben Deadman rode in on horseback from Kalsin Bay to report another body he'd found. Last Saturday Mr. & Mrs. Owens came out by helicopter. Two men from the tracking station got all the way to town and back on motorcycles, at low tide of course. We hope to see you as soon as the road is O.K. for us. If everyone was as fortunate in their damage losses as we are, it would be wonderful. Thank God for small favors." (Ed. note: Lacking a horse or 4-wheel drive, we will have to try out the helicopter which can be rented at Harvey's Flying Service!)
