Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREE
Loading Kodiak Airways Vic
tor 1583 (a Goose) with, food,
sleeping bags, tents, guns and rods,
the Robert Hall family left Sunday
for a vacation on the Mainland.
A1 and Leona Dickow were also
in the party, in addition to Bob and
Helen and their children, Ann,
Jean, Betty and Robby. They flew
to Mother Goose Lake area near
Iliamna Mountain range, where
they set up camp. During a radio
conversation with Kodiak Airways
office here Wednesday morning,
Bob reported hot weather ... He
added they were all having fun re
gardless of having acquired sun
burns. They have had good luck
while fishing and game is plentiful,
hut they will do no hunting until
near the end of the trip.
They plan to return home this
weekend...
Jet flying is wonderful, accord
ing to Mrs. Mary Mowry who, with
her daughter, Connie, returned last
Friday from a Stateside vacation
that took them to Illinois, Wiscon
sin, Disneyland, San Francisco nd
Seattle. They flew from Chicago
to Los Angeles in three hours
and forty minutes. Mary reported
there was much less noise and
vibration than on any other flight
she has made. AKho Connie had
never flown before they left Ko
diak, she soon overcame her slight
fear of the air, and became bo
thrilled with everything that she
wasn't quite ready to come home.
She especially disliked leaving
San Francisco . . . Unfortunately,
there was one sad,sot* during
their six-weeks stay Qutside when
Mary's mother died the morning
of their arrival at Aurora, Illinois.
The Press is frequently called
upon for services of one kind or
- __i
another . . . People want to know
how to spell a word . . . The cor
rect definition of another word
. . . Who knocked out Killer
Kokonut in 1899 . . . How to cook
snails . . . Any number of things.
But a new one has been added to
our list . . . That of furnishing
Kleenex. One morning recently a
small girl fell off her tricycle in
front of our office. We heard her
sobs and tried to omfort her . . .
Wiped away her tears and told her
to “Blow hard.” Then we tucked
a few pieces of Kleenex into her
pocket and sent her on her way,
thinking that was the end of the
incident. Since then, however, she
has been visiting us several times
each day, heading for the Kleenex
box on our desk, with these words,
“My nose runny. Blow it!n . . .
While visiting their grandmoth
er, Mrs. Eudora Preston, one day
this week, nine year old Patrick
Anderson and his seven year old
brother, Doug, were watching the
boats going through the channel.
The SUSIE Q hove into sight and
Pat asked, “Is that a girl boat or
a boy boat?” Eudora then explain
ed that all boats are girl boats. Pat
was evidently not satisfied with
that explanation, and further
queried, “How come THAT one is
the ALP JIM? That’s not a girl’s
name.”
Eudora is still trying to under
stand what sort of game they were
playing when they came into the
house with a few rips and tears
in their clothing, and said they
had been “Playing fishermen” and
had fallen out of tree!
