Of This and That

Andy Peterson informed us that
his wife, Feona, will be in the ANS
Hospital at Anchorage for at least
another three weeks. Feona, who
slipped and fell, fractured a bone
in her thigh a month ago and has
been in hospital since the accident.
The St. Mary’s Altar Society car
nival originally scheduled for Sept.
2, has been postponed until Octo
ber 7 because of conflicting activi
ties ... We hear from Altar So
ciety president, Eudora Preston,
that many fun-things are being
planned for the event . . .
Vera Pierce, manager of Wod
linger’s Drug Store, returned to
Kodiak last Friday from Seattle
where she spent several weeks in
Virginia Mason Clinic following
knee surgery . . . Vera stayed just
a few days, tho, as she left for
Seattle again Tuesday on an un
expected business trip. She plans
to be back here within a week . ..
The marriage of Judith Anne
Radinsky to Byron Taylor Horn on
August 5 has been announced by
the bride’s parents, Jules (former
manager of the Civil Service Club
and the Enlisted Mens Club, Ko
diak Naval Station) and Lillian
Radinsky . . . The wedding took
place at Quilcene, Washington,
where the groom’s family now lives
. . . Byron is the son of Henry and
Elva Horn, who were also residents
on the Naval Station several years.
The impending departure of Ed
and Tenora Rockney will leave a
void in Kodiak that will not be
easily filled . . . We will miss their
unfailing courtesy, helpfulness and
friendship ... We will miss, to a
lesser degree, the fun of shopping
at their Frontier Shop and Shoe
Box . . . Our best wishes for many
happy years ahead will go with
them . . . May they find that “just
what we want” home, and may they
catch many, many fish . . .
If you heavily burdened taxpay
ers sometimes wonder what hap
pens to your hard-earned dollars,
read the article “The Base That
Never Was” in the August 19 issue
of the Sat. Eve. Post.. . There you
will find a prime example of waste
ful government spending . .. Even

GOODBYE
And
We want to thank the people of Kodiak and the Naval Station
for the fine business relations we’ve had.
Edward and Tenora Hockney
worse, to us, is the waste of many
acres of beautiful, fertile farmland.
We remember so well that lovely
countryside of our native state, and
regret deeply the loss ... It can
so easily happen to others who
have built their homes and raised
families, only to be told they must
give up the work of their entire
lives . . . What price progress? . . .
Speaking of taxes (and who
doesn’t these days), we wonder
when our city sales tax receipts
will be put to use repairing some
of the holes in our streets. Maybe
the holes could be filled with pen
nies if no other material is avail
able . . . There should be enough
in reserve by this time . . .
Mrs. Herman (Vivian) Beukers
and young daughter, Joanne, will
leave Sunday for Anchorage where
they will spend a few days while
Joanne has a physical check-up.
B. P. W. To Meet
