ALONG THE WATERFRONT
{Continued from Page 1)
Avery the school teacher at Akhi
ek went on a reindeer hunt with
Willie Eluska’s son on a reindeer
flunk They got three reindeers.
And now I must correct a mis
take in my last writing. I said
that Fritz Deveau saw a coral
reef; I meant amber reef. How
ever, no harm done, Buck Hoyle
man says there is coral there too.

Subject: Women
To a man, getting along withoul
a woman is just about as hard as
getting along with her.
Before you raise your eyebrows
too high on that one, let me ex
plain. The better half has been
vacationing in the “South 48” for
the past month. When you have
geared your pattern of living for
two people (or more) and you
enter your “castle” at the end of
each workday, there is a hollow
sound as your footsteps cross the
room; a chilling silence, a bleak
and unfriendly homecoming. You
almost wish there was someone
there to bawl you out, or tell you
to wipe your feet.
You are almost in the same pre
dicament as one of A n a t o 1 e
France’s characters, who had his
wife’s tongue removed because he
couldn’t stand her endless chatter
. . . and then regretted it be
cause he couldn’t stand the si
lence.
This isn’t going to be a disser
tation on the folly of leading a
single life, nor is it a treatise on
the husband-wife taking separate
vacations. Actually, the point we
wish to make is quite .harmless,
yet in making it we are humbly
grateful to several of the women
of Kodiak.^
' As you have no doubt noticed,
we have had * “guest editors’""'of
the women’s, page of the Kodiak
Mirror each week since the regu
lar editor departed*. We asked
them to serve—mainly because we
wanted the woman’s viewpoint to
be maintained in this page, but
we also wanted them to have a
hand in publishing the Mirror—
in':other words, we made of it a
community project. This.* week
members of the BPW did right
well in gathering and assimilating
the news. We want/herewith to
compliment them/and the ladies
who have gone before.
Big Role of Women
There are. some startling facts
that come to light when you sift
through what has been accom
plished by women-politicalwise.
A statement made. recently by
Mrs. Louise Bushnell, who spoke
to the Washington F&fbration-of
Women’s Clubs assembled in con
vention at Tacoma, bears this out.
“No one has more at stake in
keeping our government truly
_% ; * r
Everywhere
DIGREE ;
representative of all the people
than our nation’s women, nor is
anyone better able to keep it free
and sound.”
Something for politicians and
others to think about is contained
in this statement: ‘‘Women, who
outvoted men in the 1956 elections
by some three million votes, have
a purse-string stake in America’s
future at the highest and lowest
levels of finance.” Mrs. Bushnell
explained it this way: Women
now own almost three-quarters of
all assets in America, including
100 billion dollars worth of stock,
almost 60 billion in savings ac
counts and about 35 billion in
government bonds . . . Women
constitute almost a third of the
nation’s working force, hence
share an interest in the welfare
of enterprises providing jobs and
supplying goods and services . . .
The housewife and working girl
feel the inflationary climb of
prices of ml it, : j&d and busfare
due to wage ircreascs outstrip
ping productivity.
Mrs. Bushnell said the two most
important jobs for women interes
ted in public affairs are to urge
thrift in federal government per
mitting tax reductions and to seek
enactment of labor legislation
that will be fair yet protect the
working man and girl.
Party choice ..Isn’t as important
as the need for more volunteers
to promote candidates and plat
forms which help the growth of
free competitive enterprise, right
wrongs and return our economy
to a sensible, sound level, she
said.
AWARD WINNERS
Due to a shortage of space we
were unable to publish the names
of the winners at the Awards
Assembly held in the high school
auditorium Friday afternoon.
The names will be published in
next week’s issue of the Mirror.

Cancer Research
Funds Are Sought
Contribution boxes with the slo
gan “There’s' Hope if you help
are being distributed throughout
the city and the Naval Station
by Mrs. Jim Robinson, a resident
of the Station.
The funds raised are for research
and treatment of patients suffer
ing from cancer and allied malig
nancies such as leukemia; and
blood, chest and heart afflictions.
Funds go to the City of Hope
National Medical Center at Du
arte, California. Treatment is
free to all patients from all parts
of the country, regardless of raoe
or creed.
Mrs. Robinson went to the Cen
ter for treatment. She h i g h f jr
endorses the work of the Center,
and in distributing the boxes
feels, she can . assist -the “vefjr
worthwhile” work in a small de
gree at least. •/ ^
