Of This and That
Br IBTHA MGREE
We hereby warn our readers not
to be surprised if there are errors
in this issue of the Mirror. The
editor has been on a trip Outside
since the day after Christmas,
and we are trying to get the paper
published without his guiding
hand. So. . . any mistakes must
be blamed on this substitute ed
itor (We will be very happy to
five the job back to the editor!)
A belated Christmas card ar
rhrer from Bob, June Scott and
Greff Sohwemley, who recently
transferred from the Pillar Mount
ain White Alice Station to Ramey
Airforce Base, Puerto Rico. They
requested us to extend their best
wishes and holiday greetings to
all their good friends -here.
Eddie Naughton informed us
that Saturn, Venus. Mars and Jup
iter are visible in the constella
tion with Saggitarius each mroning
for a half hour to an hour before
sunrise (If there are no clouds, of
eourwe). . . .According to Eddie
it ie a spectacular sight, and can
he seen during January and Feb
ruary. Hope we can get our eyes
•pen enough to see the sight some
day. . . .

Another card that was delayed
came from Edward Negrette (Pan
cho), who wrote, "Please print that
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year". . . .
Mrs. Helen Hall and daughter
Jean have been in Anchorage the
past week while Jean was being
fitted for new glasses. . . .
We heard that Kodiak had a
waiter shortage recently, but we
wouldn’t know about that. There
was entirely too much water, both
inside and outside, at the Mirror
office Building, and we were flood
ed several times. Guess we must
invest in a pumping system. . . .
This mopping up routine gets tire
some as well as tiring. . . .

(Substitute -Editor’s r.ote: With Che remark that he
thought they were written for us. Si Simmons of the
Club Casino handed us the following lines.
Si is so right, except that the last line of all is defin
itely not applicable. . . . WE have 'tx> drag the weary
body to work!) '
My Get Up and Go
How do I know my youth has been spent?
Because my get up and go, got up and went,
But in spite of it all, I am able to gran
When I think where my get up and go has been.
Old age is golden, I have heard it said.
But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed,
My ‘ears’ in a drawer, my *1)6001’ in a cup,
My 'eyes’ on the table until I wake up.
Before sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,
“Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?”
And I’m happy to say as I close <tfre door
"My fri’ends are the same as in the days of yore.’
When I was young, my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels right over my head.
When I grew older, my slippers were blue;
But I could dance the whole night through.
Now I am old; my slippers are black,
I walk to the corner and puff my waiy back.
The reason I know my youltih is spent
My get up and go, got up and went.
I really don’t mind when I think with a grin
Of the places my get up and go have been.
Since I’ve retired from life’s competition
I busy myself with complete repetition.
I get up each monring, dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the ‘Obits,’
If my name is missing, I know I’m not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.
