Kodiak, Danes
Exchange Bread
When the Kodiak Rotary,club
members sat at their places at
the Tuesday luncheon at the 49
Room this week they found by
their plates a neatly cetaphaned
package of one hard roll and one
•weet roll bearing the unfamiliar
(label, Konditori. Nbrrebro, Copen
hagen, Denmark.
This same week, when the Nor
rebro ch*b met at Strandwxlsvej
15, Copenhagen, its members
found at their places a batter
roll and a salmonborry tart from
Naughton’s Bakery, North Benson,
Kodiak.
The idea of (breaking bread is
friendship across the top of the
world came from Edward Naugb
ton in answer to a request from
Club President Peter Ramaglia
for gestures to commemorate both
the 56th birthday of Rotary Inter
national this week, and the “Bridg
es of Friendship” program of Ro
tary which aims at better inter
national understanding.
When Baker Naughton got the
idea he immediately thought of
Scandinavian Airlines System
(SAS) pioneers, of the Polar
Route from Copenhagen to Anchor
age, which now carries Scandi
navian airmail three times week
ly from Kodiak over the pole to
Europe.

SAS representative in. Anefcoage,
really started the idea rafting. Not
oniy would SAS help, she said, in
view of the purpose it would be
flown without charge, thje SAS re
presentative in Copenhagen agent
was alerted to the plan, and even
customs matters, something that
hadn’t even been thought of here,
were cleared up and arranged for.
So on Sunday the Naughtons
whipped out the rolls and the
tarts, and sent them via Pacific
Northern Airlines to the SAS sales
manager in Anchorage. He trans
shipped them on Monday to the
SAS sales manager in Copenhagen
an they arrived at their destina
tion in Europe at 7 A. M. Tuesday
morning in plenty of time for the
members there 'to pick them up
for lunch.
The Cooen-hneen baker, Johs
Pitzner of the 40-member Norre
bro Klub, shipped hfc rolls at 10
P. M. Sunday, they arrived in An
chorage at 2:35 A. M. Monday and
came via PNA that day, in time for
the Tuesday luncheon. The entire
operation went like clockwork.
In a letter the Norrebro Klub
said: "We appreciate very much
your fine idea about the exchange
of bread to celebrate the birthday
anniversary of Rotary Internation
al. Furthermore we feel there is a
special contact between Kodiak
Rectory Club and Norrebro R K,
since one of our members, Pvol
Westphall, I suppose you remem
ber it, paid a visit to your club
November 10th last."
In presenting the rolls to the
club Baker Naughton said: “Down
through the ages bread has been
an important factor in man's ex
istence and, in fact, sitting and
breaking (bread together has been
symbolic of hospitality, friendship
and trust amongst men. Since it
is impossible for us to sit together
with other clubs I thought it
would be nice to exchange bread
and in that sense break bread in
friendship."
In introducing Mr. Naughton,
William Lamme, international
committee chairman, gave special
thanks for the splendid coopera
tion of Scandinavian Airways Sys
tem, whose assistance made the
entire idea feasible.
As another part of the birthday
meeting Arthur Brooks, commun
ity service chairman, had pictures
