Emil’s Island Lake
Again! Breaks Leg
Ed. Note: When a phone caller
informed us excitedly that “Emil
broke his leg in two places! Our
witty Editor Bill Mason replied,
“Serves him right, he shoulda
stayed put at the first place he
broke it.”
Emil “Krutches” Knudsen is
probably beginning to wonder if
his Island Lake retreat is hoo
doo’ed.
Last Sunday afternoon Emil and
his wife, Marge, decided to take a
jaunt on to their cottage located
on the far side of Island Lake. No
doubt their decision to walk to
their cabin, rather than drive
across the ice, was caused in no
little part by Emil’s undoubtedly
vivid recollection of his harrowing
experience of last year when his
pickup truck broke through the ice
and plunged to the bottom.
They did fine going to the cabin
. . . but. . . enroute home they en
countered the floating bridge, in
and of itself generally considered
quite harmless. However, Emil’s
big, booted, toe managed within
an eyelash of a second to wedge
itself between a rock and a plank
completely upsetting the equilib
rium of his jaunty stride and cata
pulted him kerplunk — end over
teakettle! Not only was Emil’s
pride, stride and dignity consid
erably injured, but his ambulatory
limb broken in two places!
Wife Marge took one glance at
the twisted tibia, murmured “Umm
I bet that Smarts” and immediately
sped off, sounded the distress sig
nal and summoned assistance for
her immobilized and stranded
spouse. So effective was Marge’s
SOS that not less than eight res
cuers quickly responded and it
took all eight to maneuver Emil
over the trail where he was quickly
sped to the hospital. By Tuesday
Curse Strikes
In Two Places!
Emil, known to be a real work
horse as far as business and civic
duties are concerned, was back on
his foot (the good one) swinging
along on crutches on his way to
Rotary and his stores, thus escap
ing the usual fate of a workhorse
with a broken leg.

Bartlett Staff; Deliver JFK Crab
“President Kennedy doesn’t
know how close he came this week
to being denied the pleasure of
dining on two Alaska King Crab,”
according to Sen.| Bob Bartlett’s
weekly Report From Washington.
“On Wednesday two boxes con
taining Alaska’s great delicacy ar
rived in Sen. Bartlett’s office from
Ray Martin, Jr., of Kodiak for pres
entation to the Chief Executive.
They arrived a few minutes be
fore lunch to face a hungry Bart
lett staff. After an office caucus,
it was decided that temptation
would be put behind, and the two
crabs were delivered to their des
tination,” the Bartlett newsletter
said.
(Ed. Note: Upon checking with
Ray here about this item we
learned that had the office staff
had the temerity to open the
boxes they would have discov
ered an enclosed note from Ray
explaining that one of the Ko
diak King Crabs actually WAS
for Bartlett’s staff and the other
for the President. Because of
