MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1942.
CRAFT'S PAPER
WRITTEN UP IN
LIFE MAGAZINE
"Kodiak Bear" Gets Na
tional Recognition "Fa
ther" Former Medforite.
" The "Kodiak Bear," breezy
somewhat unorthodox but al
ways highly interesting Kodiak,
Alaska, army post paper sired
by Lieut. Roy D. Craft, former
Medford CCC officer, received
a five-column splurge in the
March 20 Issue of Life maga
tine.
Craft, after leaving Medford
spent some time on the San Fran
Cisco Examiner and being a re
serve officer, was recalled to
army service after establishment
of Camp Ord. At the latter
camp he started the "Panorama,
later rated one of the best army
papers in the country. It was
largely because of his outstand
ing work on the Panorama that
Craft was ordered to Kodiak
where he is serving as public
relations officer under Brigadier
General Charles H. Corlett, com
mander at Fort Creely. Corpl.
Gene Newhall is editor, teamed
with Craft in producing the
Kodiak Bear.
Many Handicaps
Despite the handicaps of war
time censorship, lack of facili
ties for picture making and the
fact that the paper is printed in
a shop on the mainland and
copy is airmailed ashore, the
"Bear" has not missed an issue.
The last edition received at the
Mail Tribune office, a few days
ago, had this to say regarding
regularity of publication:
"The Kodiak Bear is In the
groove at lastl Four editions
this month, and now we can go
to work on the March issues.
Of course, the editions get out
of sequence at times, because
we're printing it in Anchorage
by remote control and the trans
portation is irregular, but no
body seemed to mind when the
February 10 issue got here ahead
of the February I number.
"Besides, we're not running
any continued stories."

' Aiding Production On
Farms of Jackson Co.
Soils of Jackson county farms
are going to be kept in condi
tion to produce this county's
share of "Foods for Freedom,"
no matter how long the war
lasts, if orders for phosphate fer
tilizers through the AAA pro

ter, Fred C. Homes, chairman of
the county AAA committee, said
yesterday.
The county Agricultural Con

which have been distributed
through the conservation mater

chairman reported.
Under the 1941 conservation

Homes declared.
Adding that other AAA soil
building practices have made big
contributions to improving coun

ty farmers to continue these
practices. Heavier production
will be needed not only this
