By BETHA DIGREE
Last wetek we wetre dashing
hither and yon around town with
out stopping to put on a jacket.
The sun shone brightly and our
office became so warm that all
doors and windows were opened.
This week is vastly diffferent
.... BRRRRR. So cold that “long
johns” and shoe pacs are in or
der.
One must he very cautious
dround town, and speak softly
when uttering the word “shrimp”
to many ladies of the area. Say
the word and someone will sadly
remark, “PLEASE don’t say that
ward to me.” We feed the
same way about it as we, too, spent
long hours cooking and peeling
the little creatures.
It alii began when the RICHARD
B, skipper Merril Hennington, put
into the City Dock Sunday with
60,000 pounds of shrimp aboard.
The boat had been headed for
Seward Ibut was unable to proceed
because of heavy seas. Not being
able to 'have their haul processed
here, the tasty tidbits werte
given to anyone who wanted to
pick them up at the dock. We
wager a good portion of Kodiak
ans rushed down with a carton,
just as we did. All very Pine,
and we were happy to get our
'boxful. But before they
were cleaned and cooked we
were wishing that we had not
been so enthused. . They were
delicious, indeed, but in the fu
ture we think we shall buy those
already for cooking.
We sincerely sympathize with
Skipper Hennington and his crew
who worked so hard to get their
load, only to have to jettison it.
We regret that we gained through
their loss, and wish them good
luck on their next trip._
Wonder why some people writ
ing Unemployment Security bills
seem to think only of raising the
employer’s contribution, and fail
to consider raising the employee’s
portion to be paid. Surely a
raise to 1% of the gross eaminfs
wouldn’t hurt the employee too
badly. It would be a small raise
for each one, but the total col
lected would help a great deal.
. -. ....
(Yes, this writer does contribute,
and has done so for the past five
years).
The average employer is al
read carrying a heavy tax burden,
but is evidentally considered
fair game by most of the bill-writ
ers. The employer pays the bill,
but derives no benefits under the
larw. We can imagine some of
the labor leadiers, and others,
shrugging their shoulders and say
ing, “So what, Who cares about
the boss?” Maybe it is time to
care a little about the boss_If
he is forced out of business be
cause of taxes, who will create
the jobs? It would be well to
think about that far a change,
instead of just saying, “Pay... Pay
Pay...”
The gals who are tired of cook
ing dinner day after day might
mark these dates on their calen
dar... March 1.—Smorgasbord
at the Civil Service Club, which
is sponsored by the lady bowlers.
...March 19, Jaycees King Crab
dinner at the Labor Temple...
March 20, the Kodiak Outdoors
men Wild Game dinner at the Elks
Hall. Three good chances to get
away from the routine of pre
paring food and washing dishes.
What more can one ask?

of-doors day.”
As more than 16 million mem
bers have discovered during the
past 48 years, camping, hikes, and
cook-outs help introduce t Girl
Scouts to active and healthful
living. At the same time, these
out-of-door activities help them to
develope self-reliance, resource
fulness, and adaptability—impor
tant qualities to have in a very
complex world where the only
“constant” we know is change!
Have you ever heard anybody
say “I’m Just a housewife”? If
you have, and the lady’s tone was
apologetic, we’ll bet she never was
a Girl Scout. Girl Scouts learn
that being a housewife is some
thing to be proud of—that making
a home is a creative art requiring
a combination decorator-cook-seam
stress-mother-teacher-nurse - and
citizen.
Almost every aspect of the Girl
Scout program plays a part in
preparing girls for this role.
Girl Scouts learn how to cook,
sew, wash and iron; how to care
for infants and keep small chil
dren amused; how to make their
surroundings as attractive as poss
ible; how to cope with all sorts
of emergencies.
While mastering these skills,
they are also developing attitudes
—learning that homemaking goes
beyond the performance of rou
tine chores, that it means build
ing the spirit of a real home, no
matter where it may be.
Music Lovers
Enjoy Concert
By Pianist Godes
it.
By Marie Reynolds
Blustery March weather in no
way hindered music lovers attend
ance of the Alaska Music Trail
presentation of Herman Godes,
brilliant concert pianist. In ad
dition to his exceptional musical
artistry, Mr. Godes gave most in
teresting highlights and verbal
thumbnail sketches of the various
composars’ lives and lorves.
Each of the musical wo'iks had
a story and was played with such
sensitivity that one could easily
follow the unfolding plot thru the
climax to its conclusion.
Sponsored by the Business and
Professional Womens’ dufty the
concert was well attended and a
most gratifying experience.
Selections presented on this
well chosen program were: “Pas
sacaglia” by George Frederick
Handel; “Sonata in G Minor, Opus
22” by Robert Schuuann in four
movements; “Allegro and Fugue”
from Sonata No. 3 by Paul Hinde
mith who, incidentally, is one of
our modern composers, this par
ticular composition having been
written in 1936; "Eetampes” by
Claude DeBussy which included
“Pagodes,” "Soiree dans Grenade
and "Jardln sous la pluie.”
The musical program continued
with: “Six Preludes,” Opus 28 by
FredericJc Chopin who was con
sidered the master of small form
such as Preludes, Waltzes etc; how
ever, the next selection by Chopin
belied this impression for it was
the beautiful “Sonata in B Minor,
Opus 58. ”
So demanding was the appuause
that Mr. Codes kindly encored
with the 11th Hungarian Rhapso
dy Iby Listz, Sonata by Scarlatti, a
Polka by Dmitry Shostakovich.
His final selection was the haunt
ingly beautiful “Clare de Lune.”
