are already beginning to arrive—
Some from far away places. One

Japan to the , Island • of Kodiak.
Those who join us in this greeting
were formerly stationed at Kodiak.
Chief Moser, .LI. Toma? Cmdr. E.
E. White and Mr,.and .Mrs. Weiss
send their regards^:. We. are still
enjoying it here very much . . . .
The beaUtifiSl gardens, including
ours* Weathtaking’. . . We
wish thiat we could accept Rose’s
invitation xo visit them, especially
today. The first snowfall of the
year could just as well not have
arrived.. ... The six or seven inches
of slush on the streets and side
walks make for poor walking and
worse driving. . . Wish we had a
magic carpet that would whisk us
to Japan at once. . .
A note from San Pedro, Calif
ornia* 'brings greetings from Eva
Gustavson, who gave us so much
enjoyment when she sang here
two years ago in a Music Trail
concert. Eva gave a series of
recitals in the Hawaiian Islands
during the past summer and also
sang with the Honolulu Symphony
Orchestra twice. She is planning
to visit her mother in Norway next
summer . . . And may make a con
cert tour of Japan and India. ‘You
must greet all my friends up there’
wrote Eva, ‘And tell them I’m long
ing to see them again.'
Happy Birthday wishes were in
order for Howard Sloniger on
Wednesday, December 9 . . . How
ard is the very fine skipper of the
boa/t CIVAIR which runs 'between
Woody Island and Kodiak.

Germany, the land of his birth.
On March 27, Mrs* Grojier took

being distributed to them and to
the needy. I wish you both could

ard. 6-8 servings.
<§); *My hair is very dry and gets like straw
in the summer. Is there anything I can
do about it?0
Your hair is dry because H lacks a normal
t quota of oil. Here's how you can make up
•for it i v~
An hour before you
shampoo your hair,
give it a hot oil treat
ment. Heat about
-four tablespoons of
olive oil - don't boil
j it Just warm it. Pour the oil into the palms
of your hands and scrub it well into your
hair and scalp. Wrap your head in a
towel and leave it until you're ready to /
| shampoo. I
Wash your hair wi+h a pure castife or
coconut oil shampoo, then brush it
dry.This may tire your arm but it's
the best way in the world tv stimulate
lazy oil glands and persuade your .
hair to shine like satin, ...
