Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREF
Our vacation days have ct>*ne to
an end but we will not forget
them for a long, long time . . .
possibly never will forget. As the
clouds of dust from passing cars
roll into our office, bringing
sneezes and coughs, we remember
with longing those clean, paved
city streets we so recently trod.
The lawns that looked like green
velvet . . . the masses of flowers
. . . the shrubs and the newly
leafed trees . . . We enjoyed all
those things. Most of all, tho, we
liked the reunions with old-time
friends and favorite members of
the family . . . their warm wel
come and hospitality. It was so
difficult to say “Goodbye,” and we
regret that it had to end so soon.
To each of them we can. only say,,
“Thanks for the memories.”
We spent a plesant evening with
Jack and Justine Hinckel last
week. Jack’was recuperating very
well from surgery and they plan
ned to leave for Los Angeles Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday morn
ing. Justine requested this writer
to convey her thanks to her Em
blem Club “secret sister” for the
beautiful gifts. “I think that I
must have the nicest ‘secret sister’
of all,” she added. Jack and Jus
tine will return home the end of
June.
We were very disappointed
when we returned and learned
that work had not begun on the
Brooklyn Street paving. The dust
is just as thick "as ever and the
rocks and pebbles are as rough as
in the past. Let’s get busy, gentle
men, because this fine weather
may end suddenly, and we do need
the paving. . . .
Mrs. Gertrude Gleason and
daughter. Cheryln Dawn, were
passengers on the Tuesday morn
ing PNA flight from Seattle. They
will spend the summer with Mrs.
Gleason’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence Selig, Sr. and their fami
ly. “Oh, it seems so good to be in
Kodiak again,” said Gertrude up
on arrival. “I’ve missed the family
and my friends so very much.”
Gertrude and her husband, Frank,
make their home in Clayton, In
diana. . . .
Mrs. Helen Hall and daughter,
Jeanne returned Monday after
noon from Anchorage where they
spet the weekend. .
Mrs. Katy Rogers, who also visi
ted Anchorage, returned to Ko
diak on Tuesday.

Returns Home

ended for Mrs. Eudora Preston
when she returned home Monday
afternoon. Mrs. Preston visited

Are You Throwing Pennies Away? .
Homemakers who do not give proper care to fresh vegetables
in refrigerator storage, may actually be throwing money away.
When sections of lettuce, one or two green onions or leaves of
salad greens have to he thrown a wav because they have wilted
or decayed, pennies, m a way of speaidiig, are being thrown int«
the garbage can.
Proper storage of vegetables will result in good flavor when
served and will minimize vitamin loss. Here are some sugges
tions on how to car? for a number of vegetables which are used
to help give meals variety and interest.
Leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage ' '’ <r * have all
withered leaves, any discoloration or signs oi ceca;« . *err oved
before storage. Never soak lettuce or greens, but simply rinse
under running water and dry off excess moisture with a paper
towel. Wrap carefully in transparent saran film and store in the
refrigerator. This plastic wrap which molds itself around the
vegefables is excellent for such foods. It helps keep natural mois
ture in. Also, it helps prevent transfer of odor in the case of such
vegetables as onions and cucumbers. This film will aid in bring
ing greens to the table crisp and fresh.
Other vegetables that should be rinsed before storage are:
Artichoke, asparagus, areen beans, lima beans, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, salad greens, let
tuce, green onions, peas, peppers, radishes, spinach, tomatoes and
fresh turnips. In the case of peas and lima beans, they should
not be shelled until ready for use. All of these vegetables after
being washed, dried and wrapped in saran, should be stored in
the refrigerator.
