Order of Rainbow for Girls.
Louanna Garroute, who has been
elected this year to receive Rain
bow’s highest award, Grand Cross
of Colors, was appointed Grand Pa

the Grand Executive Board of
Washington, Idaho and Alaska. As
Grand Reporter this year, it will
be Joan’s job to organize and start
publication of an Alaska Confi

Kodiak Assembly No. 8 won sec
ond place as the service assembly
of the year in this year’s Grand
Assembly, competing with 175
other assemblies in this district
(Washington, Idaho and Alaska).
From Sept. 1, 1961, to May 1,
1962, the Kodiak Rainbow Girls
gave about 2,500 hours of service
to the community. At the going
baby-sitting rate of 50 cents an
hour, this would amount to $1,250
in service rendered. Some of the
services rendered were: free baby
sitting for PTA meetings, ushering
at concerts, junior gray ladies,
public librarian, Sunday School
teaching and church organist, and
also various school services.
Swedish Nurse
Wants Job Here
For anyone seeking a baby-sitter
during July or August the follow
ing information, which was given
to the Mirror by Mrs. Audrey
Kraft, might prove useful.
Edith Eetter, a Swedish lady
presently living in the Bahamas
Islands who has a desire to visit
Kodiak, and who describes herself
as being a “middle-aged children’s
nurse.” is willing to take a baby
sitting job in exchange for her
board for the month of July or Au
gust. She explained that due to the
fact that she is an alien that she is
unable to work for wages here. She
will be leaving from Miami on
July 1st. Her address is: Edith Eet
ter, Box 51, Nassau, Bahamas.
The aim of law is protection for
humanity—protection of the good
against the bad.
Mr. & Mrs. Walter
Kraft Brck Heme
Susie, David and Tessa Kraft,
the three eldest children of Walter
and Audrey Kraft, were fascinated
by the animals of Woodland Park
Zoo, during their first trip “Out
side” with their parents this
month.
The Krafts returned last Satur
day from their two-week trip to
Seattle w’here they visited Century
21 a number of times and also took
in the annual Rose Parade in Port
land, Oregon. While in Portland
they also visited the famous Cath
olic Shrine.
“Visits to dentists took up quite
a bit of time, but we managed to
squeeze in a day’s visit to Victoria,
B.C, where we toured the city and
the beautiful Butchart Gardens,”
Audrey advised.
“We spent a weekend visiting
Don and Bobby Morgan at Van
couver, Wash., and in addition
visited a number of other former
Kodiakans and friends including
Father Talbott, Pete and Virginia
Gilmore, Baxter and Mabel Felch,
Agnes Crutcher, C. B. and Mrs.
Finnegan, Stewart and Kitty Jef
frey, John Putnam, Margaret and
A1 Bogen, Father Lucid and also
Father Marx,” she said.
“Also on our crowded agenda
was an afternoon going around the
Forest Ridge Convent where Susie
will start high school in Septem
ber,” Mrs. Kraft concluded.
