school, your dad would have to go
to jail?”
Whereupon David, after giving
some thought, said brightly, ‘‘For
how long?"

On the two occasion we have
met and visited with Gov. Bill
Egan, we find that we like him
very much—although we believe
ho has twice as many state
agencies as is needed to operate
the state of Alaska and if they
were cut exactly in two nobody
would suffer.
And we want him to know that
we in Kodiak appreciate his com
ing here to defend our fishermen
•n more than one occasion.
But we hasten to call to his at
tention that no one from Kodiak
was appointed to serve on either
the Centennial Committee or the
Inauguration Committee. We
can’t possibly be that far from
Alaska.

Don’t know if it was intentional
or not but this week’s film sched
ule at the Orpheum recalled the
early days of our rocket misadven
tures:
Ending tonight is “I Aim at the
Stars,” and opening tomorrow is
‘’Stop. Look and Laugh.”

And we know it wasn’t planned
that way, but out on the base the
Army-Navy game was being
broadcast starting at 8:15; Miss
Barbara Rakutis, daughter of
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Fred E.
Rakutis, ,was wed to Alfred R.
Burnett, at 9 a.m., and the game
picked up at the second half at
the reception.
Having met the bride a day or
two before the ceremony, we go
on record that she is a charming
and warm personality.

REMEMBER WHEN: This time
of the hurry was a flurry of activ
ity in the kitchen making Christ
mas cookies, popcorn balls and
stringing cranberries for the tree?
. . . And whatever happened to
such home-made holiday delicacies
as Turkish Delight and fondant in
the candy field and plum pudding
and fruit cake made in the fall and
aged for goodness? ... All of our
Christmas tree ornaments came
from Germany instead of Japan?
. . . And the Scandanavians began
looking around for Lute Fisk and
lingenberries for the holiday sea
son? . . . This was the time of the
year you went to the attic or store
room to get out the candle holders,
the tinsel and the Christmas rope?
. . . And when every Church had
a Christmas program and gift ex
change a night or two before
Christmas eve?
Some valuable memories and tra
ditions have been washed away
with the years.

LETTER TO SANTA
From All Kodiak:
A swimming pool and a city
park for the youngsters—would
certainly be appreciated.
And the pedestrians and mo
torists would settle for some pav
ing, even if it is less than one
mile.
The town needs another hotel
and some motels before we can
begin asking tourists to come see
Alaska’s Treasure Island. Hope
some builders read this.
Another good year in 1963 for
our fishing industry like the one
we had this past year.
Lower prices, all up and down
the board, would be a help.
And we suspect that the mili
tary personnel would appreciate ]
something in the USO nature in |
town, and we hope that some or- <
ganization gets with it soon. !
