Of This and That
By BETH A DIGRKK
We spent a few very pleasant
hours at the dub Casino Sunday
night, and the other guests seem
ffl to be enjoying themselves as
well- Harold (Si) and Peggy
Summons, Lae Franklin and Ra
chael Rogers entertained many
friends at a "Hail and Farewell”
Party- A long table loaded
with a variety of delicious food
added to the enjoyment, of course.
Lae and Rachael are now opera
ting the Casino, while Harold and
Peggy plan to leave after four
years as hosts_Good ones, too,
let us add. Our best wishes go
with them, and we are certain
that the new owners will retain
that same friendly atmosphere.
And now on to a less cheerful
note_ State Deputy Magistrate
Mabel Fenner received a letter
from David Luce, Administrative
Director of <thg State Supreme
Court, informing her that the State
is unable to pay the rent on the
present Magistrates quarters and
the Court Room. Mrs. Fenner
has been notified that she is to
find other, cheaper, office space
within the next 60 days. She is
now wondering if court will again
be held in a converted chicken
coop as H was in past years. --
The Magistrate gave us the fol
lowing figures that she has com
piled, showing just a small por
tion of the business transacted
through her office in 1959 when
she was still U.S. Commissioner:
$33,158 collected in car license
fees; $37,600 school tax collected;
444 seine fishing registrations;
104 set net licenses; approximately
1100 fishermen registered in the
Kodiak area_ But there’s not
enough money to pay the rent!
So the nice, new court room, of
which Kodiak residents were just
ly proud, will be vacated.... A
fitting memorial to the blundering
shortsightedness of someone or
other. Whom are we to blame
for this regression? When you
think of the answer, which should
not be too difficult, please tell us
... Think we will assist Mrs. Fen
ner in her search for that little
shack in which she can conduct
the judicial affairs of the commu
nity.

Don't forget- You can eat
your fill of King Cnaib at the Jay
cee’s crab feed March 19 at the
Labor Temple_.And dance later
(if you haven't eaten too much)...
Then, March 20. try the wild
game dinner at the Elks Hall
which is sponsored by the Kodiak
Outdoonsmen Club.

We wore pleasantly surprised
Wednesday while we were having
dinner at the Town Club. Short
ly before we were about to rush
back to the “Ink Pit” (our own
name for the office), Marty Wfest
wong sat down at the piano and
began playing some of our favor
ite numbers.He just arrived
in town this week and will remain
for an indefinite engagement.
Sorry that we couldn’t stay longer,
because his music was pleasing.

Things Were Much
Different For Eve
Eve had no need of a powder
puff or a pot of rouge to catch
Adam.....but then she had no
competition, either.
It’s a far different story for her
daughters, who spend more than
$1,5 billion a year, according to
World Book Encyclopedia, in then
search for beauty, youth_and
men.
This leap year they can even
arm themselves with false eye
brows to match the deceptive eye
lashes they’ve been fluttering.
It’s just a slight improvement
over Cleopatra, who probably
would have gone down in history
without any help from Antony be
cause of her proficiency with
paint.
The Egyptians were so concern
ed with their good looks that they
wrote into the marriage contract
the amount of beauty oils to be
given a wife.
Maybe you do and maybe you
don’t bleach your hair. But the
ladies thought nothing of it back
in Juvenal’s time, when Roman
gentlemen preferred blondes.
The Greeks were among the
first people to dye their hair. And
they gave us the name for the art
of improving on nature.... cosme
tics, from the ward "kosmetiko*.’’
meaning “skilled in decorating."
The English tried some “inter
tor decorating** during the reign
of Queen Elisabeth I. They tried
to duplicate the queen’s pale,
bleak color by swallowing gravel
tallow and ashes.
The French, with their more db
crimLnating palates, bled them
selves to achieve the same effect
during the period of the Revolu
tion.
Fortunately the Food and Drag
Administration and the medical
profession have helped to stamp
out some of the more gbouii&h re
cipes for beauty.
But the best beauty treatment
is still soap and that unrumantic
liquid used by a French courtesan.
Go the horror of other women, in
the 1500’s—water.
