Of This and That
ByBETHA D1GREE
A fifteen year old German girl
recently sent us a copy of a write
up on Kodiak that she had read in
a Munich newspaper.... She wrote
that she hoped someone in Kodiak
would write to her, and that she
speaks some English and Italian.
. . . Letters to the young lady may
be sent to:
Miss Sabine Verkin,
Ottobrunn. via Munich,
Rubenstrksser it. Germany
We hope that Sabine receives not
just one, but MANY letters from
Kodiak. . . . Our sincere thanks to
Mrs. Margarete von Scheele for
translating the address for us, and
to A1 Hocliberger for his transla
tion of the article that appeared in
the Mirror recently. . . .

We hear that we missed a good
show Saturday evening when the
“Goofballs” beat the “Power
packed Four" (all Elks, by the
way) at the Elks Bowling Lanes.
. . . We have been trying to visual
ize the “Goofballs,” wearing white,
feather-trimmed hats and with
clusters of white balloons tied to
their wrists. . . . But our imagina
tion, usually active, sort of balks
at the picture . . . Think we had
best not miss the next challenge
game. . . It should prove to be ra
ther interesting. . . .
The library is in need of a few
copies of the National Geographic
Magazine to complete the files. . . .
Donations of any of the missing
copies will be gratefully received.
Lssues missing are: August 1948:
July 1958; August 1958: January,
March and December 1959; Octo
ber, November and December
1961. . . .
We have heard several uncon
firmed rumors of a small flooding

Since talking to Mr. Kent, ap
praiser for the Highway Division,
and signing seven copies of one
form, four of another, plus three of
one more, a slight hope that Ben
son Avenue may finally be paved
is building up. . . . After waiting
so many years, tho. we shall not ac
tually believe the work will be
done until we see the finished
project. . . .
—O—O—O—
We do want to say that Mr. Kent
is a pleasant person with whom
one enjoys dealing, as well as a
level-headed young man who seems
to understand the problems of the
so-called "little people” so often
mentioned by some politicians. . . .
We have so often wondered just
who these "little people” may be.

Higher education may help a
student cover a lot of ground, but
it never cultivates it.
People are difficult to under
stand—it's as hard to get your
neighbor to take your advice as it
is for you to take his.

If you want your father to take
care of you, that’s paternalism. If
you want your mother to take care
of you, that’s maternalism. If you
want Uncle Sam to take care of
you, that’s Socialism. If you want
your comrades to take care of you,
that’s Communism. But if you want
to take care of yourself, that’s
Americanism.
