Here, There and Everywhere
__By SIG DIGREE
Santa Barbara, Calif_Jan. 5—1
Ifisve here today on another leg
of my trip tha»t will take me to San
fVancisco for a couple of days stop
Soon my trip will end and I
•Sit ft?, f&ck. in Kodiak again.
. ♦\|^>iave jostled crowds at air
/ports, bus depots and all along the
'line since leaving Kodiak Decem
ktK 26.^ An4 I mean Crowds! I
-I**** „ attempted to maintain a
<«l!fifedule, but that proved imposs
'IHe. It seems the whole Pacific
‘ffcast populace converged on Los
A«grT s during the holidays.
A lot of them did, as attested
.to t>y the million and a half who
on hand at the Pasadena
"Rpse Parade. Can you imagine
”<het many people lining the
♦sheets for is parade?
61 foats, all beautiful, 43 e
tpwdtrian units and 21 bands over
* 5% jmile parade route. I stood
for 2 hours craning my neck over
vthe beads of others in front of me
•footsore and tired, yes, but it was
•wwth it.
A.parade can moan little to you
aCl$r you have seen this one. The
^sepstakes winner, a Long Beach
«nMry that was adjudged the most
■hCMutilut entry, was ‘International
•hamXy—Venus de Milo.’ Under
* Ufy canopy of orchids, at the
caster of the float, was a statue
of Venus, international symbol of
«»uty, surronded by six living
aod smiling beauties from foreign
™is, with another 100,000 or
aDd 6’°°0 roses Ending their
kwotroess to the spectacle.
Space does not allow further
tMcripttofl, but there were many
«»re floats just as elaborate, or
jwre was pageantry at its
***« Bowl Classic
' J *d(s 0fie of the 1(XW» who sep
the 1* mUJion and sTi
Uw W Bowl and thrilled to the
POdo. marx e of the University of
Huskies as they
the Big en Wisconsin Bad
fj™s 44-5.
100 is a spectacle one
«£>uld see once in a lifetime-a
Zam* in the Rose Bowl
TO Huskies went into the game
«** toe underdog, but it was appar
e*« hwn the start they were de
'iermincd to show their mettle.
They clicked all the way.
These two events will never be
forgotten -by this obeervor. It was
worth the pushing of excited
crowds, a few inconveniences, sore
feet, lack of sleep, eftc. The Hus
kies win climaxed a perfect and
exciting day.
See you next week.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
I wish to announce that the Ko
d>4k Bottling Works will officially
be out of business as of January 1,
1960. Our inventory at Itihe close
of the old year will pretty much
meet the needs of all accounts un
til the boat arrives from Seattle
during the latter part of January.
This company has enjoyed al
most 100% cooperation, and
fine business relations with mer
chants of Kodiak and it he villages
around the Island and on the
Aleutian chain.
A very large portion of the needs
of the Kodiak Naval Station for
soft drinks and mixers were pur
chased locally, and the business
relations and cooperation from
the Station couldn't have 'been
better.
Our deep appreciation and
thianks to the Kodiak Naval Sta
tion, and to the residents and mer
chants of Kodiak, and to all those
with whom we have done business.
I am joining the staff of the
Kodiak Creamery in February,
and am looking forward to the
continuance of the same good re
lationship through that firm.
Sincerely, ,.-u
Charles (Chuck) Edris
