Letter to the Editor
To the Editor, Kodiak Mirror
Sir
One thing about this past Christ
rjias made me furious. That was
the rock-and-roll versions of favor
ite Christmas songs.
• There are some things that are
the way they are because of loving
tradition.
One would not rock-and-roll the
music of a High Mass nor jazz up
a Bar Mitsvah. If you tamper with
Wagner or Tschaikowsky, you no
longer have Wagner or Tscihaikow
sky.
The classic Christmas songs are
classic because thats the way we
want them. If the Teeners can’t
stand them that way, let them sep
arate off and have their own rock
and-roll and “beat” Christmas
singfests. The general public
should not have to listen to that
trash. We have enough of it year
round. December month of Christ
mas music should be ours—sung
the way it was written. Will there
be any pleasant memories ten years
from now of the real “beat” ver
sions of “The Night Before Christ
mas” that were inflicted upon us
this year?
As Christmas approaches next
year lets petition AFRS to screen
out the junk. Perhaps they must
assume by your silence that there
is a demand for this junk. We must
let them know there is not.
All movements start somewhere.
Next year lets make Kodiak,
Alaska, the home of the “Keep
Our-Chrisftmias-Traditional” move
ment. It may snowball and help
other sections of the long suffer
ing radio audience.

Of This and That
By Betha Digree
Seattle—Met Cliff Lattish while
walking downtown recently. Cliff
and June, former residents of Ko
diak, as many of you know, are
living at the Moore Hotel, where
June works in the dining room.
Cliff is employed at the Seven Na
tions, a top-flight restaurant and
cocktail lounge that was opened
a short time ago. . . . We stoped
to have a cup of coffee with June
and she informed us that George
Comstock, a former Naval Station
employee, had just returned from
Saigon, where he had been work
ing the past 19 months.

one evening at the Moore Hotel
Firelight room—Seems Leonard
happened to be there, playing his
electric guitar when several mem

According to June, delightful
musical session developed when
the visitors began singing to
Leonard’s music, wihich they rated
“terrific.”
June went on to tell us that Roy

MOSCOW (/P) — The Soviet
youth newspaper Komsomolskaya
Pravda was critical today because
Moscow, a city of more than five
million people, has an alotment of
only 160,000 holiday trees under a
forestry conservation program.

You can be impractical, too, when it
comes to trying to improve the way
you feel. Take, for instance, the
matter of help in getting relief from
the minor pains of arthritis or
rheumatism whenever they come.

VIOLA ARKANSAS (/P) — A
little farm girl from the Arkansas
Ozarks enlisted the aid of New
York city police in finding a Santa
Clause. She thought maybe he had
died. Eleven-year-old Coleta Burns
of the small town of Viola wrote
that if there is a real Santa, he
hasn’t called on her family in a
long time. She enclosed a Christ
mas list, just in case police could
dig up a Santa. Her letter was
turned over to the police athletic
league with indications that Christ
mas won’t be as bleak this year in
Coleta’s house.
