Mirrored Reflections
By Sig Digree
It may have seemed strange to
many of you who read the National
Bank of Alaska ad in the Kodiak
Mirror last week.
The caption read: “Would you
like to earn 10% on your money?
The line following, telling you how
was left out. It should have read:
“We will pay $1.10 for each 100
pennies.”
Isn’t anything sacred anymore?
That’s what the teachers in Kodi
ak must be asking themselves since
Tuesday. And well they might
ask, too. Some of them have been
subjected to Gestopo tactics—hid
den mikes, recorded conversations
on the telephone, and that sort of
thing, some of them occuring dur
ing the earlier hours of the morn
ing.
As if this weren’t enough, they
have had these same conversations
played back before a group of
people who were subjects of the
telephone conversations. Some of
them, needless to say, were pretty
choice observations about their
fellow teachers.
Before you get the idea that this
is all part of a state program, or
is being carried on by the local
police, it might be well to mention
at this point the whole thing was
done in the spirit of good clean
fun. How clean it turned out is
beside the point. But it did result
in some fun, and was generated in
the fertile mind of Kodiak’s genial
postmaster, Bill Lamme. Program
chairman for the annual Rotary
Club teachers dinner, Bill got on
the phone and called up various
teachers asking them to appear on
the program slated for Tuesday
evening. Asking leading questions,
he recorded the conversations,
playing them back at the dinner,
much to the amusement of the
group gathered there.

But the genial program fixer
upper, was fixed up pretty good
himself before the night was out.
A sampling of how may be gleaned
from a poem composed by a group
of teachers following all the phone
calls. It went something like this:
LAMME’S PHONEY ON THE
PHONE
Lamme phoned about Bikinis
Said to wear one, said to show it
Said he needed entertainment
Sounded fishy—wel you know it!
Lamme called about a husband
Said he saw a blonde in tow
Asked if all was on the level
Seeds of discord tried to sow.
Lamme’s phoney on the phone.
Lamme sleepeth late or never
Works acrostic thru the night
Phoned at midnight for an answer
Phoned again, it wasn’t right.
Lamme’s phoney on the phone.
Lamme called inventing gossip
Did you quarrel with your house
mate?
Victim asked about his own house
How, with Lillian, do you rate?
Lamme’s phoney on the phone.
Lamme phoned about the budget
Need information now, he said
Is our money being wasted?
Better I had stood in bed.
Lamme’s phoney on the phone.
All Affected
By Astrology
Show business and astrology
may be as far removed from each
other as the two Poles. But Jewel
White, currently playing at the
Montmartre Inn, has combined the
two, one as a vocation and the
other as an avocation.
Asked as to how
she happened to
become an au
thority on a sub
ject so far remov
ed from show bus
iness, she said:
“Well, I was in a
head - on automo
b i 1 e accident a
few years ago
and was hospital
ized for over a year. Doctors told
me I would probably never walk
again. It was a bad time for me.
I started to observe Astrology as
a hobby and I found it so fascinat
ing that I never stopped studying
it.”
“Human nature is a very com
plex thing,” Miss White continued.
And Astrology helps you under
stand your own emotions and helps
you become more tolerant of
another’s viewpoint.”
The dancer further stated that
modem Astrology is supported by
extensive research and is accepted
as scientific fact. Every human be
ing has characteristics that are re
lated to the position of the planets
at the time of birth, and although
enviorment may influence them,
the true character is always there.
“People who live near the water,
and especially those who sail or
fish are respectful of the tides and
seasons. And it is the Sun and the
Moon that affects the tides and
seasons. From Nostradamus
through history, wise men have
charted our destinies through the
science of Astrology.
The science of Astrology holds
out great hope for Kodiak. A com
munity such as this, which is de
pendent largely on its fisheries,
will welcome the predictions of
astrology as to the future. Miss
White said: “We are now in the
Acquarian age, and will be for
t w o more years. This means
abundant Witter, flooded rivers
and, of course, abundant fishing.
“But, she said, the Arian Age will
follow, which is just opposite, dry.
Due to limited space we are un
able to delve further into this in
teresting subject in this issue. Miss
White has graciously consented to
