This OP House Is A’Getting Empty”
Sounds Out From Furniture Seekers
This ol’ house is a-gettin’ empty.
This ol’ house is a’gettin’ cold.
This ol’ house needs discarded
furniture,
Be it worn or new or old.
This ol’ house needs pots and
dishes
Be they battered, bent, or
chipped.
We check them out to Navy
folks.
Whose own are being shipped.
That’s our slogan and that’s our
song. We do need furniture, pots,
pans, dishes, eating utensils,
sheets, and other articles for our
hospitality program. Maybe you’re
leaving Kodiak and are leaving be
hind an old piece of furniture or
perhaps you’ve just arrived and
are replacing your old dishes with
a new set. Could be you have some
white elephants around the house
that we could put to good use.
Natalie Crossen at 7-5860 is in
charge of the hospitality kits. Sne
checks them out to new arrivals
who are awaiting their household
goods. Her kits include dishes, sil
verware, linen, and other neces

sities. But her kits are few, and if
you have any of these items to do
nate, give her a ring.
Willow Lawrence at 6-5530 heads
the furniture program. Mr. Frann
lin, of Aleutian Homes, has let the
Navy Wives use one of the houses
to store furniture in and has also
given them some furniture. The
women have collected some, too.
But so much more is needed. Mrs.
Lawrence checks furniture out to
Navy people who wish to move into
unfurnished homes in town and
are without their own until the
ship arrives.

BOUNCING SNOWBALLS
Mrs. Arlene Wertz sends an idea
for a fascinating, yet inexpensive,
centerpiece. Fill a tall, clear glass,
vase, or jar within several inches
of the top with water and add a
few drops of vegetable coloring.
Stir in two tablespoons of baking
soda and one tablespoon of citric
acid (sometimes called “Fruit
Acid” and is available in both gro
cery and drug stores).
When it stops fizzing, drop in a
handful of ordinary round moth
balls. In a moment, the moth balls
are covered with tiny, silvery air
bubbles and begin to rise and fall
slowly in the water, as if by magic.
Whenever the motion of the moth
balls die down add more citric
acid and baking soda.
“OPERATION COOKIE DROP”
On Thursday, Dec. 6, the Coast
Guard Officers Wives Club and
the Coast Guard Wives Club (En
listed) joined forces to pack home

planes will deliver these packages
in the course of their regular

Mrs. Barbara Hammond and

Mrs. Della McGary and Mrs. Ma
rion Love of the Coast Guard
Wives Club were in charge of this
operation.
