Of This and That
By BE Til A DIGREE
Dr. Tom Colford and his wife,
Inez, left today for Portland, Ore
gon. to visit friends...They plan
to visit Century 21 in Seattle be
fore returning home within two
weeks... Dr. Colford’s dental of
fice will be closed during their ab
sence. .,
Lorraine and Kenny Rhein left
for Anchorage Wednesday after
noon on a business trip_They
expect to return home Sunday...
Em:l Knudsen, who is a patient
in Virginia Mason Hospital in Se
attle. is reported to be recuper
ating well following surgery earli
er this week....
Sow that the State has called
for bids for the construction of
the Kodiak-Kenai Peninsula ferry
boat, many people will be looking
forward to lower travel rates and
an influx of visitors to the Island.
We seriously doubt that those
250 staterooms will be filled each
trip... Perhaps the first run will
carry a full load with, no doubt,
a large number of State officials
and other ‘ VIPs” aboard (dead
heading. we assume)_ But we
are ready to make a small wager
that we will all be paying higher
taxes in order to subsidize the fer
ry system for many years to come.
.. AH one needs do is take a look
at the Washington State Ferry
Authority record to realize the def
icit Alaskans wiil have to cover...
The Washington ferries carry
thousands of passengers and cars
each day. yet each year the sys
tem has been in the red- A
gloomy thought, but realistic
The state employes' pay raise.
HB 472, which passed the House
this week, is a fine gesture.. .But
it would be more to the point if
some of the employes' could get
their pay checks without waiting
two or three months_ What is
a man, with a wife and several
children dependent on him far
support, to do when he doesn t
get paid We know of one such
case in town and have read of
others... It would appear that the
Highway Dept., especially, either
doesn't care if the employes’ get
paid, or else the accounting sys
tem is in a mess_Probably the
latter is the case_But if these
unpaid employes' were late in
making their tax returns they
would be penalized_ And that
is “Justice”???? .

Beautiful Blond, Blue-Eyed Miss
Chickie Zehe Seeks Queen Title
Vying for the coveted title of
Queen of the Kodiak King Crab
Festival of 1962 is another of Ko
diak’s very own lovelies. Miss
Chickie Zehe. who has been en
tered as a Queen Contestant by her
sponsors, the Elks and the Em
blem Club.
Blend of hair and with eyes of
blue, Miss Chickie is the eldest
daughter of Master Sergeant and
Mrs. Archie Zehe and has the dis
tinction of being the fourth baby
born in the Kodiak Naval Station
Hospital.
Miss Zehe's charming mother
Phyllis is also Kodiak-born and
raised and also was the eldest
daughter of a pioneer Kodiak
family. Chickie’s father, M/Sgt
Zehe, is Commanding Officer of
the Kodiak office of the Alaska
Communication System and is
equally well known to local resi
dents by virtue of his many years
of service with the ACS here.
Born June 6, 1943, the 18-year
old Miss Chickie attended Kodiak
schools and took a general course
at Kodiak High School. And al
though she certainly needs no les
sons in natural beauty (see pho
to!) in September Miss Zehe plans
to enroll in a beauty college in
California after completion of
which she will return here to
work.
The natural charms of the 5’ 4”
Miss Chickie have not passed un
noticed before as she was entered
as a Queen Contestant in last
year’s King Crab Festival.
That Miss Zehe is talented as
well as beautiful is indicated by
her hobbies which you might note
are well balanced for a modern
young lady. Her three major hob
by interests are dancing, cooking
and crocheting—the later are un
doubtedly learned from her moth
er whose needle work is highly
prized.
And that Miss Chickie is an in
dustrious girl is obvious from the
fact that she holds down two jobs
—working both for Alaska Pack
ers and also at the Orpheum
Theatre.
