Mirrored Reflections
By Sig Digree
The little black sentinel—guar
dian of the Mirror printshop—is
no more.
Little Duffy, famous dog-about
town; always the underdog in a
dog fight, but top dog in his own
ers’ affections; everybody’s friend
and a friend to everybody—now
rests in peace, free from the wor
ries of a canine world.
In his more than 13 years of life
he brought enjoyment to his own
ers, pleasure to many—may he
rest in peace. ^
Ice water is recommended by a
physician as the best first - aid
measure for any burn covering up
to 20 per cent of the body. “Pati
ents who receive initial ice-water
treatment fare better than those
who do not,” says Dr. Alex G.
Shulman of Los Angeles ... we
also learned from the same med
ical journal that sleepwalkers
should be awakened to avoid acci
dents to themselves . . .
The “next war,” some folks claim,
Will wage in outer space,
As for me, I can’t think
Of any better place.
—Terse Verse by A. C. Gordon
A little boy’s idea of fun almost
resulted in tragedy for himself
and considerable damage to a car,
when little Jess Eggemeyer climb
ed into the front seat of a parked
car and took it out of gear.
The car, belonging to Tim Frost,
Jr., was parked uphill in front of
the Eggemeyer residence. As the
little fellow shifted into neutral,
the car started backwards, barely
missed Don Lawhead’s car, and
also Eldon Lester’s car below that,
and finally came to rest at the
rock well on the Lester property.
Little Jess, with a flock of guar
dian angels hovering over him,
jumped clear of the careening car,
little the worse for his escapade.
IT’S ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU
ULCERS—More than 2.4 million
Americans have ulcers. Something
for the men to think about: Nearly
three times as many men have
ulcers as do women.
IT’S HARD TO MAKE
A LIVING NOWADAYS
NEW YORK—The $12,000-a-year
man of 1960 is left with the pur
chasing power of the $5,000-a-year
man of 1939 after taxes and infla
tion have taken their share of his
earnings, the National Industrial
Conference Board reports in the
latest chart in its weekly “Road
Maps of Industry” series.
In 1939, the husband and father
of two with a gross salary of $5,000
had $4,941 to spend after taxes.
Today, his counterpart must earn
$12,307 to net the same amount.
He has forfeited $5,489 to inflation
and paid $1,877 in federal income
and social security taxes.
Other selected 1939 incomes and
the amount which must be earned
today to equal their purchasing
power include:
$ 1,500 in 1939—$ 3,323 today.
$ 10,000 in 1939—$ 26,030 today.
$ 25,000 in 1939—$ 77,415 today.
$ 50,000 in 1939—$173,093 today.
$100,000 in 1939—$379,636 today.

Lazy Bay
(Continued from Page 2)
came in with a load of salmon.
Owners, Mr. and Mrs. Peacoek and
their three daughters, are from
Friday Harbor, Washington. This
is their first trip so far north. They
are well known in Southeastern,
particularly Ketchikan and Peters
burg. We were delighted to find
we had many friends in common.
Mrs. Peacock was saying that
the fish here seem to be smaller
than those in Southeastern as 18,
000 fill the brine scow here to the
same level as 12,000 to 15,000 do
down there. I had already been
told this year’s catch is smaller
in the size fish caught. That has
made it tough for the canneries
as they are not getting as many
cases out of the fish handled. It
may be necessary to pay the fish
ermen by the pound in the future
rather than per fish as has always
been the practice. This, of course,
will also reflect on the fishermen.
A serious situation.
Ralph Hendrickson and John
McGowan of Columbia River Pack
ers, flew in for a visit to the can
nery. Steig Osman returned from
Kodiak so the six of us had a won
derful fried chicken dinner in the
cannery Blue Room.
I left Lazy Bay on the tender
Ermine with Ralph and John for
Moser Bay. As the tide was out, I
had to climb down the dock ladder
to the tender deck and along the
side to the end of the barge. For
one who hates to climb down more
than three rungs I was proud of
myself.
What these politicians will do!
A fine trip although it was misty
and not too good visibility. The
skipper was Wynn Brendle and
his assistant at the wheel was a
student from Washington State,
who took courses from my cousin
in Business Administration! What
a small world. Many gill netters
came out in skiffs to pick up their
supplies and mail, as we traveled
along. Wayland and Metzger were
first, then a few minutes later King
and Dale Mower of Dead Men’s
Bay came for theirs.
We passed the Reefer King tied
up at Trap Point freezing king
crab. They have been there a
couple of weeks. We passed the
Larry Matfey camp. Bob Spring
hill and his wife Pearl were my
hosts at Moser Bay. That is the old
Libby, McNeill and Libby place.
This cannery is not operating so
has only a skeleton crew. The
fishermen come in weekends to
mend nets and suppplies. A very
beautiful country, good harbor,
and free of storms.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT..
As a customer you are the finest asset that
we possess.
You add spring to our step and joy to our
heart. You make life worth living for
without you we couldn’t exist.
Make no mistake ... we keep this in mind
in all our financial transactions. We hope
you come in often so we can prove it.
