A salute to the 'gals and guys’
who worked so hard to provide
the eircellent food at the Jaycees
ctnab feed Saturday. We have
never seen so many King Crab
legs heaped up, ready for eating..
Hundreds of them. We had just
one complaint to register . . .
We didn’t stop eating as soon as
we should have!
Another dinner, scheduled for
April 3 at the Elks Hall, Should
prove good. St Mary’s Altar
Society will offer baked ham,
beef, scalloped potatoes, vege
tables, etc. The editor has inform
ed us that we may take him to the
dinner, so best we get the tickets

Mary Sonwn, cashier at the
Bank of Kodiak, went to Anchor
age Tuesday afternoon on banking
business. She is expected to
return home this weekend.
Someone asked us recently how
our garden is growing.Wish we
could find it, but haven't time
left to shovel off that much snow.
March came in like a lamb, but
seems to be going out like not
just one, but an entire pride of
lions_
After stumbling into several
chuck holes full of icy water In
our street, which is poorly light
ed, we are beginning to wonder
what happened to our pennies
contributed in sales tax . . . They
must (be in hiding, because we
haven’t seen much improvement
made. Perhaps wd use the wrong
streets.... Or did we just dream
that thebe were to be great im
provements made?
A number of property owners
in town are upset these days since
the assessment cards arrived.
Many have expressed the feeling
that it is foolish to attempt
to improve their property and
make the town more attractive...
We will go along with them, as
well as with those that are per
turbed by the fumbling, bumbling
procedures in Juneau....
Mr. and Mrs. Nick Nekeroff are
happily looking forward to the ar
rival of their son Kenneth, from
the lower 48. Kenny, who has been
serving with the U.S. Army in
Germany, arrived in New York
March 12 and was discharged
from the service March 15. He
phoned his father and mother from
New York to say that he planned
to drive from New York to Seattle
in his little sport car he purchas
ed in Europe. Mins. Nekeroff is not
certain whether he will drive up
the Alaska Highway or ship the
car from Seattle. The exact date
of Kenny’s arrival is not known
but his parents are hoping that it
will be soon . . .

new duties as state home econom
ies leader for the University of
Alaska Cooperative Extension Ser
vice. She is planning to drive

Mrs. McLeod was born in Se
