Of This and That
By BBTHA DIGREE
Fabulous. Wonderful.
Heavenly_Those were a few of
the words used to describe the re
cent trip made by several local
residents to Hawaii. They left Nov
ember 7 via a special Westair
Transport charter flight to attend
the American Contract Bridge
Club play-off in Honolulu and re
turned Monday evening. From
what we have learned, too, it
seems some of them did little or
no bridge playing! Helen Waiale
ale McDonald, who is well-known
to many in Kodiak, was at the air
port to greet her old friends when
they arrived. Helen and husband,
Bob, and their three children are
now living on Kauai Island, which
is about a fourty-five minute
flight from Honolulu. Bob' is
working for contractors at the
present time. Jack and Justice
Hinckel, together with other mem
bers of the Kodiak group, spent a
full day on Kauai with Helen and
her fmily, who took them sight
seeing. They also visited Helen’s
mother, who has visited Kodiak
several times. Then thele were
luaus complete with fish and poi..
rides in catamarans and outriggers
(Justine says she still has aching
muscles from paddling the latter).
Then there was a party for Mrs.
Harriott McKechnie, wife of Adm.
Arnold McKechnie, Kodiak Naval
Station, who celebrated her birth
day while in Honolulu. The lush
growth of trees, plants and flowers
especially orchids, came in for
much admiration, of course. We
k ___
think Justine summed it all up
very well when she said that she
was going to save for another, and
longer, vacation in the friendly,
lovely Pacific islands of Hawaii..
Oh, well, Kodiak has orchids,
too, even tho they are grown in a
greenhouse instead of in the trees
outside. A1 and Leona Dickow
have several in bloom at present,
and have a new one that is really
special_
Mother Nature seems to be a bit
confused about the season in Ko
diak. Katy Rogers tells us that
her lilac bushes are unfurling new
leaves, while our own crocus bulbs
are blooming_Maybe we shall
just skip winter this year! What a
wonderful, foolish dream.
The bears are evidently well fed
on the ranch of Daniel Boone
Reed and his wife, Nan, at West
Point, Uganik Bay. We had a let
ter from the Reeds this week tel
ling us that a bear, or bears, had
killed a nice 3 year old Hereford
last Friday. So the Reeds are
looking for someone to track
down the elusive killer or killers,
and are advertising for assistance
in the project... •

Plenty of Turkey
For Thanksgiving
Turkeys are in plentiful supply
for 1959 Thanksgiving and other
days this month, reports the Uni
versity of Alaska Cooperative Ex
tension Service.
The noble bird leads the list of
foods which the U.S. Department
of Agriculture classes as plentiful
for November, because the turkey
crop in the U.S. is the largest in
history.
For helpful hints on the prepa
ration, cooking and eating of tur
keys, obtain “Turkey on the Table
the Year Round.” This is USD A
Home and Carden Bulletin No. 45
and is avaialble free of charge at
local Cooperative Extension Ser
vice offices in Alaska. It may also
(be obtained by writing Box B,
College.
• Pork also promises to be more
plentiful than for several years,
with the November supply repre
senting the peak of the season.
There will be generous amounts
of frying chicken, although not
quite so much as during the sum
mer months or a year ago.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes and
onions are vegetables that will be
most abundant for Thanksgiving
and throughout the month. The
year’s production of all three of
these crops is considerably larger
than average.
Rice is another food in plentiful
supply, and so are dry beans of
most kinds.
The apple crop is larger than
■ average, although smaller than last
year’s exceptionally large crop.
Two western-grown nuts, al
monds and filberts, are classed as
plentiful, with the almond crop
the largest on record.
