hide such a “beautiful" figure
under a fur coat.
DIET: The triumph of mind over
platter.
GIRL SCOUT: A Boy Scout who
has turned 16.
BACHELOR: A fellow who
comes to work every morning from
a different direction.

AND DIDJA KNOW: That
most airlines have a rule against
carrying live turkeys and that
the Rotarians are scratching
their heads figuring how to get
one into Kodiak? . . . The hottest
musical organization on the is
land is the Hungry Five com
posed of four base medicos and
bank official, A1 Hochberger?
. . . That Rep. Gil Jarvela is
pushing a plan through Sen. Bob
Bartlett that cargo unloaded at
the Naval Base be done by local
longshoremen rather than Navy
men? . . , That Rep. Ralph Riv
ers’ victory was probably due to
a big last-minute push by the
Demos who were scared to death
of losing the single representa
tive post? . . . That Sen. Bob
Bartlett, a visitor here last week,
has not lost his newspaperman’s
touch nor his common touch, the
latter a trait which makes him
almost unbeatable? . . . Those
mounted King Crab you see
adorning the walls of our eat
eries cost in the neighborhood of
$100? Don’t ask us why.

Worth repeating is the yarn
about a local slow-talking waitress
who was serving a fisherman.
He sat down and studied the
menu for a few minutes and then
announced, “I’ll have ham and
eggs.”
"Do you say ham and e-g-g-s,”
she drawled out for about half a
minute.
"Yes,” he said, “that's what I
want. My but you talk slow.”
“I know,” she admitted, “I talk
awfully slow, but I have a sister
who talks much slower than I do.
She was out with a fellow last
night in a car and he asked her
Have you ever been kissed?’ and
before she could reply, ‘She hadn’t
—she had.”

Our funnybone is tickled when
we receive the TV Logs from
the Base comes into the office
with the listing of movies some
so old or so little known that the
comment “No publicity avail
able” is tacked on.
Apparently the producers
w ould just as soon forget them,
too.

With the Day of Thanks next
Thursday, we are thankful for the
way the Kodiak Mirror has been
received in most Kodiak area
homes. . . . For the friendly and
helpful Kodiakans we have met
since our arrival in July. . . . For
the bountiful salmon harvest which
blessed this island with prosperity.
. . . And for an apparent settlement
of the Cuban crisis which pushed
the world on the edge of war. . . .
And we trust your Thanksgiving
will be just as bountiful and en
riched.

Five pounds of flour in Kodiak
costs $.90. but in Juneau it is $ 78
and in Ketchikan $.71, while the
same amount of flour in Fairbanks
costs $.89 and in Nome $1 accord
ing to the September average re
tail prices of 40 items compiled by
Charles F. Marsh, economist of the
Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Station in Palmer.
According to the study round
steak per pound is $1.35 in Kodiak,
$1.42 in Seward, $1.44 in Anchor
age, $1.49 in Fairbanks, but only
$1.39 in Nome.
Kodiak pays 50 cents a quart for
fresh milk, and the only commun
ity studied in the state which pays
more is Nome. Milk there is $.78
per quart in Nome.
The survey covers the U.S. Av
erage, Seattle and the following
Alaskan communities:
Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka,
Juneau, Kodiak, Seward, Anchor
age, Palmer, Fairbanks and Nome.
Strangely enough the price of
coffee per pound is listed at $.86
per pound in Kodiak—one cent
higher than Nome’s 85 cents.
