Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREE
All those who have been wanting
a special State of Alaska flag, made
and autographed by Ben Benson,
the designer of the flag, can now
obtain one at the office of the
KODIAK MIRROR ... The flags
are made of blue taffeta with stars
and signature in gold . . . The flags
are especially suitable for framing
... Mail orders will be accepted . ..
The home owners at Island Lake
have our deepest sympathy . . .
They have all worked, and are still
working, hard at building their
homes in that area . . . Some have
built outdoor barbecues, tables and
benches . . . They have planted
trees and flowers . . . They were
glad to share their facilities and
the beauty of the lake with others,
asking only that care be taken of
their property . . . But there are a
few (we hope) vicious, thoughtless
renegades who seem to delight in
destruction and thievery. Some
trees, brought from the mainland
and carefully transplanted here,
were willfully cut down . . . Homes
have been broken into and articles
removed . .. Boats have been taken
and used without the consent of the
owners . . . What sort of mentality
do such people have, that they
show no respect for the privacy
-nd property of others? They evi
dently have no inherent decency,
feel no shame, otherwise they
would not be able to do such things.
It is a disgrace to the entire com
munity that the Island Lake resi
dents should be forced to post “No
Trespassing” signs and call on the
authorities for protection ... We
sincerely hope the offenders are
apprehended soon and receive the
punishment that is their due . . .
We hear there will be free coffee
served at Kraft’s Supermarket,
Saturday (tomorrow) only, through
the courtesy of Hills Bros. . . . One
could save time by shopping while
taking that coffee break...

it alright to change dates at a
dance, if the boy you're with is a
real drip?*
Qi No.^uve duty- bound to stay
with the boy who brings you
unless ••4 jj
(a) He abandons you.
(b) Or he behaves so badly or
insultingly thatyouare
forced to abandon him.
However, if he's making an effort
to be polite and pleasant and is
trying to help you have a good
time, if" would be unforgivable to
leave him for another boy who
may be more attractive or
enter+aining.Nobody, including
the second young man, would
respect you for it.

Many thanks to Leon (Ole) John
son and the men at KEA for re
placing a street light on “Tobacco
Road” (Our street that was orig
inally South Brooklyn Avenue, but
got lost in the shuffle when “Brook
lyn” was changed to “Benson” . . .
Perhaps we will be able to avoid
a few of the worst pitfalls when
walking home after dark . . .
Cost of having a baby thirty
years ago was about $160, today
$300 (average).
Faith is a fine thing—but keep
more of it in your heart and less
behind the steering wheel.
Our planned economy would
have more of a chance to succeed
if it weren’t for faulty blueprints.

out wires or switchboards has had
its first public showing in Wash
ington. Using the system, a sub
scriber can dial any other sub
scriber and talk privately without
interference. The system was de
veloped by the Orlando, Florida
division of the Martin Company.
Officials say it could lead someday
to a vest pocket radio telephone.

There’s A Right Size For Every Child
The girl with growing pains
anti what girl doesn’t have them?—
will find clothes buying less frus
trating if she knows her way
around in the maze of sizes and
terms manufacturers use.
Ideally, sizes would be synomy
mous with age, and all girls aged
seven to 14 would flock into the
same department. A tall, skinny
10-year-old may find just what she
needs in this section, but a more
developed 11-year-old will be im
patient with the little girl, boxy
look, and want the kind of dress
found next-door in the pre-teen
department.
Manufacturers size their mer
chandise by shape not age. The 3-6X
classification is for the little girl
who has no waistline and wants a
comfortable school dress that
swings freely from the shoulders.
If she stays on the short side dur
ing the early grades, she probably
can continue to buy dresses thus
sized.
Clothes marked 7 to 14 are de
signed almost identically with the
little girl group, but proportion
ately larger. Most youngsters past
10 will want more sharper styling
than they can find in this depart
ment.
For them, the sub-teen—'Which is
synonymous with pre-teen—depart
ment is the answer, sized from 6 to
14, again having nothing to do with
age.
Clothes in this group are more
sophisticated, waistlines have
dropped, and there’s a slight indi
cation of a bust line. Hems ai e
longer to accommodate the child
who’s shooting upward.
A special set of sizes, 8% to 14Vi,
indicate clothes designed for the
chubby girl. These are cut more
fully in the hard-to-fit spots
through the waist and sleeves, and
every designer trick is used to
make the child appear thinner.
Now coming on the market is
the new size G (for growing), that
should be heaven for the tall, slen
der girl who is more mature than
the average, and not yet ready for
the pre-teens. Waists are narrower,
the bodice is longer, and the skirt
is a touch longer. Clothes in this
category are more sophisticated.
Comes the day when the girl has
stopped growing, and arms, legs,
and hips are properly assembled
and in balance. Then at last she can
move into her store’s misses divis
ion; and settle down as a 12 or a
16, hopefully for a long time.
