Of This Arid That
BY BETHA DIG REE
“We are going to the Mecca 49
Room for dinner tonight, then to
the late show” said Bill Lamme to
wife Lillian Sunday.” You told me
that you wanted chicken for din
ner,” replied Lillian,” and I
thought we were staying at home
tonight.” “I’ve changed my mind,”
declared Bill. In this case the man,
instead of the woman, had the last
word-So they went to the 49
Room, where several friends were
waiting for the Lammes to join
them at dinner. It was all a plan
ned surprise for Lillian, who then
began to understand why Bill had
been so difficult aboist the whole
thing! It was a birthday party for
her-her birthday fell on Mon
day, February 16. Others present
were Ruth Arneson, Margaret
Lightfoot, Catharine Lowe, Gene
and Phyllis Sundburg, A1 and
Mabel Fenner and Connie Dande
neau-Happy Birthday to Lil
lian, even tho it is a week late!
Happy Birthday to Helen Hall,
too, who also had her birthday on
February 16_
Tuesday morning was so warm
and sunny that we had that feel
ing of ‘Spring-just-around-the
comer’, so we took a close look
at the flower beds_Peeking
through the soil were the green
shoots of daffodils... .tiny new
foliage showing on the daisies, col
umbine, iris, oriental poppies and
wild larkspur-About that time
we felt that the world is a nice
place-and we liked most every
one. But Wednesday morning
there was nothing in sight except
a light blanket of snow_Guess
we were too optimistic in thinking
winter had passed on its way_
So we shall just crawl back into
our shell and hibernate again for
the next six weeks_when we
HOPE to take a vacation.
Wonder why some ‘little’ men
seem to think they automatically
become ‘big’ when they are elec
ted to a public office? They evi
dently forget they are the same
people they were when belonging
to the so-called ‘common herd’_
A card from Dr. and Mi's. A.
Holmes Johnson from Nairobi,
East Africa, tells of seeing hun
dreds of wild animals of adozen
species.... “Marvelous local color
at Zanzibar”, added Frosty.

Celebrating their eleventh wed
ding anniversary last Saturday
with a dinner party at the Mecca
49 Room were Louis and Beverly
Horn... .Beverly proudly wore a
lovely white orchid, a gift from A1
and Leona Dickow, who had grown
the beautiful bloom in their green
house-The Dickows’ and Hoke
and Dorothy Olsen were present
at the dinner to help Louie and
Beverly mark the happy occasion.
A St. Valentine’s Day cocktail
party was hosted last Saturday
evening by Jack and Justine Hinc
kl at their home.... As is usual
at a party given by Jack and
Tine.it proved to be a most en
joyable event......

something worthwhile_The
showing of Eudora Preston’s paint
ings is scheduled for that time at
the Bank of Kodiak lobby. It will
be a preview of her show that will
open at the New Washington Ho
tel in Seattle on April 5.
We could really rave about the
pictures but there wouldn’t be
enough space-We will just say
they a«e beautiful_See for your
self and you will agree that it
would be futile to try to describe
them.

tection of breast cancer was
stressed by the showing of a film
entitled “Just By Chance,” and a
talk^ following by Dr. Bruce Keers
at the Business and Professional
Women’s Club meeting Monday
evening at the Island Fountain.
The film, distributed by the

town’s fight to curb breast cancer.
Dr. Keers told (the Indies pres
ent that the local clinic has the
facilities to detect the different
types of cancer. In describing tbe
seven danger signals of cancer he
showed each instrument used to
detect a cancerous growth. Eh.
Keers stated thait the American
