By BETH A DFGREE
Clara and Krts HelgasotL who
arrived front Seattle last Friday,
spent a few days m town before
retaming to their home at Terror
Bay . . . Clan, who spent two
months receiving medical atten
tion. was joined in Seattle by Kris
for a vacation a few weeks ago. ..
A card from Tenora and Ed
Hockney telling us that they are in
Portland. Oregon, until the middle
cC January, when they will gc
further Sooth . Tenora wrote
Chat Portland weather has been
much like that of Kodiak . . . She
added, “We do miss oar good
friends in Kodiak so very much”..
Janet Zieba arrived home Dec
ember 12 to spend the holidays
with her parents. Mr. and Mrs
Jim Zieba . . . Janet who lives at
Mercer House and is home presi
dent. wfll return to her studies at
the University of Washington on
January 2. . . .
Another U- of Washington stu
dent. Jfll AAeson. also arrived on
December 12 to join her parents,
Mr and Mrs. Robert Acheson, for
the holiday vacation . . . Jill, too,
expects to return to Seattle Jan
uary 2. . . .
Mrs. Georgia Bell, who recently
had surgery in Seattle, has been
released from Virginia Mason Hos
pRal . . . She is now the house
guest of former Kodiak resident
Margy Simonson . . . According to
her husband, Herb, Georgia is re
cuperating well and is expected to
return home within the next three
weeks ....
Mrs. Ina Fletcher and sons.
Rusty and Raymond, left Tuesday
for a vacation Outside . . . They
plan to return to Kodiak before
school re-opens ...
Jack Devlin, son of Mrs. Bernice
Rice, is spending the holidays with
his mother . . Jack, who is in the
Navy, is attached to Whidbey Is
land Naval Air Station at Oak Har
bor, Washington ... He will be
here at least two weeks ....
The personnel aboard the Alaska
Steamship “Tatalina” deserve
recognition and commendation for
the gift they have presented to the
Kodiak Baptist Mission .. Through
out the past year they have made
voluntary contributions toward a
fiind each payday .. . Now the Mis
sion posseses a fine RCA movie
projector—one of the best, and the
type used in Seattle public schools.
These men have shown much
thoughtfulness, not only in the
giving of a gift, but in the thought
put into the choice . . .
We have reason to believe that
Millie Markham will have a most
attractive shop when remodeling
is completed at the Montmartre
Florists ... A background color
scheme of pink and sandlewood
is to be used, and Millie told us of
several of her ideas for decorat
ing ... All of them sounded inter
esting . . More progress for
Kodiak . . . Too bad that as much
progress cannot be made on the
road and street situation . . . Then
visitors would really be impressed.
As 1961 draws to a close we wish
ta thank all those who have given
us their friendship, understanding
and assistance throughout the past
year . . . We have sometimed fail
ed to thank them properly, but we
have truly been grateful to so many
in far-away places as well as in
Kodiak . .. Special thanks to those
who have given us comfort in time
cd pain and sorrow . . .Thanks, too,
ta those who have thought of us
when making jellies, cakes and t
cookies, and fcr-oaghi then to oar
office. We realize the time and
work spent ht making them, and
that make* fo~ even greater ap
preciation and enjoyment . . . .
Those who have sent greeting
cards are thanked, too . To each
(me of you. whether near or far.
we wish yoa a merry, merry Christ
mas. aim may the New Year bring
you health happiness and peace ..
