Of This and That
By BETHA DIGREE
The time-worn phrase, “The
world is a small place,” may sound
trite but it is still true in some in
stances. . Mrs. Nick Nekeferoff re
ceived a letter from son Kenneth,
who is stationed with the U. S.
Army at Mannheim, Germany, this
week which read, part, “I had
the biggest shock of my life the
other day- I was walking down a
street in Mannheim, and saw
Bobby Norton walking toward me.
I wouldn’t be too rriuprised, after
that, if I were to meot. Hobart
Dawson, too.” Kenneth 3nd Bobby,
both Kodiak men, were classmates
throughout sehoo'l, graduating
from Kodiak High School together.
Dawson, who is also from Kodiak,
is also in -the Army and stationed
in Germany. . . There should real
ly be a celebration if the three
young men can get together at the
same time. . .
Alt'ho Mrs. Etta Edris just left
town Monday forenoon, husband
Chuck (Kodiak Bottling Works)
was already lonely that some eve
ning. Etta has gone to Anchorage
on business and expects to toe gone
at least ten days. We suspect that
Chuck not only misses Etta, tout
that he dreads the idea of cooking
his own meals and then washing
the dishes . . . Some mention was
made of those chores!...
While talking to Eudora Pres
ton, top-flight Alaskan artist and
Art instructor at the Kodiak High
School this year, she gave us some
information that we believe should
be passed on to our readers who
are interested in painting. “I have
had a number of persons asking
for a course in portrait painting,”
she remarked. “Anyone interested
may contact me at 3062 afternoons
or evenings. We will begin with
the bone aind muscle structure of
the head, and its proportions.
Later, live models will be used.
Some ability to draw is required.
Classes will be held in my studio
once a week.”
The recent birth of a son to
Janice and Milton Smith, Jr. was
. ■
announced this week by the proud
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton
Smith, Sr. The baby, who weighed
8 lbs., 11 ozs. at birth, has been
named Mitchell Arthur. He has an
older brother.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who are
former residents of Kodiak, are
now living in Portland, Oregon,
where the father is employed by
Holman Transfer Company. Mrs.
Smith, Sr., informed us that Mil
ton, Jr. is also attending night
scnool. . . .
A "ter a few days and nights of
depressing, heavy rainfall, the sun
shine is more than welcome. Per
haps those of us with unfinished
gardening and fall clean-up work
will still be able to complete the
chores before the first snowfall. . .
We hope! . . .
