Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREE
After spending a practically
sleepless night, due to the constant
barking, whining and yowling of
dogs in the neighborhood, one de
velops a dim view of the entire
world and most everything in it
. . . Thanks to our good friend,
Helen Hall, the bleak outlook
brightened a bit today ... Helen
cut two lovely rosebuds, the last
remaining on her bushes, and
brought them in for our desk. Just
to look at the perfect buds made
us feel much less murderous and
morbid . ..
From recent reports by some of
our neighbors we gather we are
not alone in the matter of being
annoyed by the nerve-wrecking
noise most every night . . . We
understand that BB guns are be
coming standard equipment in
Some homes, and will be used on
the dogs . . . There are certainly
enough targets available ... It
might be more effective, tho, to
use the thoughtless diog owners as
targets, instead of the dogs. Peo
ple are SUPPOSED to be more in
telligent than animals, but we
aren’t quite certain that is true in
some cases. . . The police depart
ment has just acquired a new pel
let gun that puts animals to steep
. . . Perhaps they can use it to
good advantage on some of the
nuisances . . .
The Bank of Kodiak looks so
fresh and clean with it’s new
coat of paint ... It makes an
other bright spot in town . . .

The weather has been so nice
this week that we thought we had
made an error in thinking it is
Autumn. Warm sunshine, flowers
still in bloom (our Oriental pop
ies evidently made a mistake, and
are blooming for the second time
this year) . .. But then we opened
our file cabinet and saw the quar
terly tax report forms awaiting
our attention, and we realized that
it really is October . . . Another
dream shattered! So to work . . .
Those reports usually mean a
headache to so many of us that
we feel the tax officials should
furnish free aspirin to those who
must fill out all those sheets. . .
A note received this week in
formed us that Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Langley of Ellington, Mo. visited
Ivan Langley and family at De
troit, Michgan. They were joined
there by Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Hall
of Chignik, Alaska and Seattle.
Mrs. Langley added (they had visit
ed Canada and did some shopping
there before returning to Mis
souri.

Effective Living
Theme Of Speech
“Effective Living,” the 1959 slo
gan of the National Federation of
Business and Professional Wom
en’s Clubs, “means different things
to different people,” said Dr. Bob
Johnson, guest speaker at the din
ner meeting of the club Monday
evening at the Island Fountain.
The program was sponsored by
the Health and Safety Committee
with Chairman Marian Johnson in
troducing Dr. Bob who, looking on
the subject from the healthful
viewpoint, took as his theme “Ef
fective Emotional Living.” He pro
jected the March of Time film
“Search for Happiness” which he
said was not designed to teach,
but to provoke thought. It por
trayed the length people go in
seeking happiness when, as Dr.
Johnson pointed out, “Happiness
is always here for the baking.
Everyday living can be repetitious
. . . Routine is tedious . . . Try
some new experience each day . . .
Exert an effort to rediscover the
things around you . .. thq thrill of
a beautiful sunset, the sky, the
sea, the clouds, etc. . . .
In summing up he said, “and
now, lest we forget, remember that
there is no panacea. A search for
the ‘cure-all’ always results in con
fusion. A belief on the part of any
of you that anything I have said
tonight is a ‘cure-all’ would be
fallacious. The answer does not
lie in palmistry, diet fads, pure
physical culture of the Atlas varie
ty, astrology, being in tune with
the infinite, patent medicine, the
gadigetry of Dr. Hooten, the ama
teur problem solvers, or in any one
thing . . . The search for happiness
is a daily job, and one which re
quires a little effort on the part
of each of us. There is no easy
way. Consciously we must put out
-to achieve. Tonight I have men
tioned a few methods of such con
scious effort that have proven ef
fective living. Consider today ...
Take time to observe . . . Try
something new . . . Keep fit . . .
Meet your problems, and above all
. . . SMILE.
Guests present to share in the
enlightenment and enjoyment of
hearing Dr. Johnson were: Martha
Wolf, otf Portland, Oregon, a for
mer member; Vera Powell, Verna
McFarland and Betty Acheson.
The next meeting of the Kodiak
Business and Professional Wom
en’s Cluib will be held November
2, at the home of Helen Schott,
with Dora Naughton and Mary
Mowry as co-hostesses.
