Of This and That
By BETH A DIGRBE
Friends of Marie Reynolds said
goodbye to her this week as Miarie
left for Adak Friday morning.
She will Join her husband at Adak
and remain there until he retires
from the Navy in August. Then
they will return to Kodiak to
make their home here . . . Happy
landing to Marie, land we hope
that she enjoys her stay on the
Chain . . .
Flowers were in bloom and
Spring well on the way when Bea
tfachtweih, owner of the Kodiak
Variety Store, left the Hood Canal
area In Washington Monday morn
ing. Bea spent, the month near
Fdilsbo with her daughter, who
has been ill, and arrived home
Monday afternoon . . .
A note from Helen Parrish,
who has been in ANS hospital
the past several months, tells us
that she doesn’t know how much
longer she will be in hospital, but
that she is eager to return to
Kodiak . . . Our best wishes .to
her.
When Eddie Naughton, with a
very serious look on his face, told
us that 175 workers had arrived
via PNA on the Tuesday morning
flight for Naughton's Bakery, we
were puzzled . . . Just couldn’t
imagine how they could use that
many people. Then he laughingly
admitted that the ‘workers’ are
really baby chicks which were
taken to the Naughton’s Mill Bay
home. We forgive Eddie for catch
ing us off guard and hope the
chicks grow up into good laying
hens . . .

We have a strong feeling that
most of the members of the last
session of the Legislature dislike
employers . . . Even tho most
employers in Alaska ‘workers’
too.* One example is ’the Employ
ment Security Commission bill
that is retroactive to January 1,
1960. Not only must the employer
contribute additional taxes, but
must spend additional hours fig
ring out retroactive payments if
he does his own bookkeeping as
most do. If he hires a bookkeeper,
then he is paying for the extra
work involved. We wonder just
why the new rates couldn’t have
started with the new quarter be
ginning April 1 . . . Then, hc
cording to information we have
had from accountants, the employ
er is also responsible for the pay
ments due for employees who
have terminated since January 1,
even tiho they have .not. applied
for compensation or cannot be
located. The A ESC managed to
get out the tax forms, of course,
but neglected to clarify any ques
tions.
A bit of consideration shown
toward the business people might
pay good dividends . . .They, too,
vote!
New owners of the Rendezvous
are John and Sally Nosich, long

Easter Parades
Are Old Custom
The first Easter Parades weren't
the fashion shows Irving Berlin
wrote about, but the celebration of
a “new life.”
The custom of wearing new
clothes on Easter Sunday dates
from the early days of Christian
Ity, when newly baptized Chris
tians were clothed in garments of
white linen.
Researchers with World Book
Encyclopedia report that baptism
has always been closely associated
with Easter. Just as the Resurrec
tion represents the new life of
Christ, so baptism represents the
initiation of the believer into a
newr life.
In the early Church, Lent wai
the annual season of preparation
for baptism, and the sacrament
was celebrated on Holy Saturday
during the Easter Vigil.
Eventually all Christians began
to dress up for a joyful parade
through town . . . much to the
joy of today’s clothing manufac
turers.
In fact, it might have been an
early advertising executive wtin
coined the English rhyme, “At
Easter let your clothes be new,
or else he sure you will it rue!”
