Of This And That
BY BETHA DIGREE
City officials please note: If you
decide to drive along the Small
Boat Harbor via South Brooklyn
Avenue, be very cautious. You
might drive over a spot that looks
solid but has been undermined by
rain, and find your ca* dropping
into a hole. We like our city offi
cials and don’t want to lose them
that way-It could happen, and
actually did happen to our next
door neighbor Monday nfol'hirig.
She had to leave her car and walk
to work. Evidently she was not in
jured, but it must have been quite
a shock. Maybe we should raise
the sales tax so that we could
include repairs in -the program....
.. If the grader passes over the
road many more times the road
will be at waiter level and resi
dents will need ladders to get into
their homes-Good exercise, no
doubt....
“Turn about is fair play,, so I’m
going to have a vacation,” said
Etta Edris to her husband, Chuck
-And away she flew to Juneau
Tuesday morning. Etta had to run
the Bottling Works while Chuck
was in Anchorage recently_
Now he has to keep house while
Etta visits her son, Brig. Gen.
Thomas Carroll, and his family at
their home in Juneau, where Car
roll heads the Alaska National
Guard. Etta plans to be gone about
•three weeks.

Following the bulldozer, Donald
Clark, who heads the Archaeology
Section of the Kodiak and Aleutian
Islands Historical Society, found
a few artifacts this week at Mon
ashka. The dozer, which is being
used by the Outdootrsmen Club
preparatory to building a boat
ramp, evidently dug up the site
of an old village. Parts of a skele
ton were also found, indicating at
least one, burial at that location.
Unfortunately, the skeleton had
been badly damaged by the dozer,
and only a few bones were intact
Don located slate knives and sev
eral types of stone sinkers, which
are now on display at the Museum
(which is open every Sunday from
2 to 4 pm). Any further finds will
also be displayed there... j..

Cadillac at the Lake Louise Little
Theatre either tonight or tomor
row night-Attend the Histori
cal Society meeting Wednesday
night, March 4, when Douglas
Preston will show colored slides
-Then there is Eudora Pres
ton’s showing of her paintings on
Sunday, March 8 at the Bank of Ko
diak-Monday, March 9 brings
Jakob Gimpel, noted pianist, to
the high school auditorium for a
concert.... That should fill in a
few evenings for most of us....
Bill Lamme had better be care
ful or some of the other husbands
about town will be angry because
their wives will be saying “I don’t
see why you can’t remember my
birthday like Bill remembers Lil
lian’s. I’d like a trip to Anchorage
and a new fur coat, too, but you
never think of things like that”
.We hope Bill continues to
set such a good example.. .We are
in favor of that sort of gifts.__

The brilliant Polish-born pianist,
hailed as a “new genius of the key
board,” at his debut in Vienna, has
in his maturity fulfilled the prom
ise of his youth. In music centers
throughout the world critics have
called him “an artist of rare
genius*’ and “a master' Of nuance,
color and mood” whose virtuosity
sets his listeners on fire.”

In Europe today, Gimpel is
called the greatest Chopin player
of our time and he will include
one of Chopin’s greatest works in
his concert here.
One year, ago,-in a cafe ini Milan,
Italy, two pianists were discussing
a concert— the late Maxim Sha
piro, fouler of the Alaska Music
Trad, an<| JaJkoJ) Girapel, .-had
paused in their! tours to devote a
few . minutes, to Alaska. Shapiro
asked Gimple to program two most
effective works in.piano literature:
the Brahms Variations on a theme
by Paganini and the Chopin Sonata
in B-flat minor. Gimpel agreed,
little thinking at the time that the
famous Funeral March in the
Chopin Sonata would be a fitting
memorial to his frfencl frKo .naft
made the request.
A kangaroo went to see a psy
chiatrist arid the doctor asked hilt
what his trouble was. “I ’’really
don’t know,” answered the Krihga
too. “I jusi. don’t feel jumpy any
more.”'1' * v '
