Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREE
Approximately seven years ago
we first began writing of this and
that. . . . During those years we
have missed very few weeks. . . .
But now the time has come for a
much-needed vacation that will be
gin tomorrow when we take PNA
to Seattle. . . . The first days in
Seattle will be filled with medical
treatment, then we hope to relax
and forget such things as dead
lines and publication days for a
few months. ... To those who
have given us encouragement and
kind words, our most grateful
thanks. ... To those whom we
have emended and who feel enmi
ty toward us, there is little we can
say. . .. Some have been extremely
irate because they felt they were
being slighted, while others were
annoyed by praise given to some
person or group. ... It is most un
fortunate that one cannot please
everyone but that is an impossi
bility. . . . We do not know when
our next column will be written
as we plan to do many things we
have been wanting to do. . . . We
will miss our good friends in Ko
diak (we think of most as our
friends), wherever we go and take
this opportunity to bid them fare
well for a while. . . .

CALLING ALL KODIAKIANS
AND FORMER KODIAKANS: . . .
Alaska will be honored at Century
21 on July 7 (Alaska Day). . . . We
expect to see Benny Benson; Mary
and Tommy Frost; Thelma and
Leon Johnson and Lillian and Bill
Lamme there that day. and hope
there will be many others from Ko
diak registering at the Alaska Ex
hibit. . . . After all, Kodiak IS the
oldest settlement in Alaska as weil
as the “King Crab Capitol of the
World," so it really should be well
represented. . . .
A member of the committee
charged with locating land for the
Youth Center building has in
formed us that a suitable site has
been found. ... It can possibly be
obtained through cooperation of
the City of Kodiak, and we sincere
ly hope and believe that action will
have freckles and whenever I'm out
in the sun, they really begin fo show up.
what can Ido to hide them?*
t
fyt A tan-tinted make-up will bridge the
color gap between your skin and the darker
freckles,and they'll seem to fade. If you
lead a fairly active life, use a new weather
proof, medicated cream-in-a-tube make-up
that will protect your complexion and won't
streak or turn shiny, even on the
sunniest days.

As an extra precaution, wear a hat -
that shades your face from the
sun if you plan to spend a long.hot
afternoon at the beach.

“BUY A BROOM!” Right Fielder Allan Schumacher of the D&A
Little League team prefers swinging a baseball bat but clearly is
not unhappy helping raise funds for Little League by selling brooms
made by the blind. He is pictured here displaying the two sizes of
brooms that he and all his fellow Little Leaguers have been selling
in their industrious door-to-door sales campaign. This is 9-year-old
Allan’s first year in Little League and he swings a mean hickory
when it’s his turn up to bat. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Schumacher, who are, of course, his staunchest fans. His father owns
and operates the Kodiak Barbership located on the corner across
the street from the bank building.
