In Waterbury, Connecticut sil

parently it’s legal, too—as far as
the local aldermen are concerned.
They’ve agreed to file the annual
2-page library financial statement
vhich the city clerk said he had
read without moving his lips or
uttering a sound. It was pointed
out the law says the statement is
to be read, but does not specify it
has to be read aloud.
RECENT ACTIVITIES OF THE Coast Guard Wives Club of
Kodiak included a social. During the course of the evening bowling
prizes went to Barbara Backe and Sam Patrona for individual high
game with handicap. Awards also went to Pat Winston and Sam Pa
trona for high game scratch. Low game prizes went to Helen Couch
and Carl Fields.
Mrs. Jerri Thomas and Mrs. Barbara Backe will head the Ber
ing Sea Clothing drive sponsored by the group. Donations may be
made for this cause by contacting the members. The Club plans a
booth at the King Crab Festival. Future plans also include hat model
ing at their next meeting.
Recent new members include Alice Alexander, Barbara O’
Keefe and Nan Starring.
Elusive Crab Didn’t Cooperate
With King Crab Festival Plans
Three years ago, when the now
famed Kodiak, Alaska, King Crab
Festival got its start, a featured
stunt was to have been a skin div
ing contest—with divers descend
ing to the bottom of the boat har
bor and coming up with live, kick
ing (and screaming!) crabs.
But a horrible catch developed.
Just before the May doings got un
der way, the festival committee dis
covered that fresh water entering
the newly-enclosed harbor had
driven the crabs to saltier digs.
What to do? The answer was ob
vious. Indulge in a little chicanery
(only tell the public about it, of
course) and hope for the best. So
the announcement was made. Since
the screaming crabs—and they
really do scream—had left the har
bor, choice crabs would be placed
in a pot on the harbor floor and
skin divers would race to see who
could bring the crabs up the
quickest.
When tihe day came, the specta
tors gathered, eager to see what a
three-foot spread of flailing crab
legs and claws would do to a rub
ber diving suit. The timer poised.
The divers lined up on the dock.
And the crabs sat patiently wait
ing on the bottom.
The judge gave the signal and
the first diver dove in. In three
minutes he returned, bearing in
his outstretched arm, to keep click
ing claws away from his vulnerable
suit, a huge wiggling screaming
(You’ve never h«ard one?) King
Crab.
Someone in the crowd yelled,
“How much for the crab?” and on
the spur of the moment the diver
replied, “Two dollars!” The crab
was sold and from that moment on
everyone got so interested in
watching the free-for-all dives and
in purchasing the lanky beasts that
the timers forgot to time, and jud
ges forgot to judge, but the crabs
were all brought up and sold, still
screaming.
That’s been the shape of the an
nual diving event ever since. And
the vacationer who’d like a large,
choice crab, fresh out of the drink
for $2.00, or who’d like some won
derful truly different action film
shots of divers wrestling the huge
beasts to the surface, will find the
Kodiak King Crab Festival tops for
travel in ’61 (This is for out-of
town readers).
The celebration this year will be
May 5-7, with the skin diving event
only one of many features which in
clude a crab shaking contest, a crab
breakfast, a crab smorgasbord with
all you can eat from a choice 101
recipes, a kiddies parade, midway
with booths, dances, and boat and
air tours of the historic and beauti
ful Kodiak area.
The traveler has several trans
portation choices in planning his
Kodiak trip. There are direct non
stop flights out of Seattle, addi
tional flights via Anchorage and
many past travelers have driven to
Anchorage then flown the hop to
island-bound Kodiak.
What about the screaming crabs?
According to Dr. A. James Olliness
of the Kellog Oceanography Insti
tute, of California, and confirmed
by Prof. Jacques Dubain, of Paris,
France, crabs do scream. The noise
is said to be raucous, strident, and
frightening. But fortunately, like
the noise made by some of those
whistles for dogs, a crab’s scream
is unaudible to the human ear.
Red Cross And You—A Partnership
For Meeting Disaster Anywhere
By MIRIAM J. ANGELL
Fund drives come and fund
drives go, and as surely as another
is announced you’ll hear somebody
groan. One campaign for money
has, to our knowledge, gone on for
more years than any other; during
this month of March we will be
asked to join the American Red
Cross. Membership costs a dollar,
minimum, and beyond that it’s up
to us how much more we think it’s
worth. Personally, we believe it’s
worth a whale of a lot more.
It may strike you as silly, but
there are still many people who
have only a fuzzy notion of what
Red Cross really is. Red Cross is,
simply, our concern for others. The
organization was established in
Europe in 1883; it grew out of com
passion for the wounded of a long
succession of ghoulish wars. Some
nations got together in what was
called the Geneva Conference and
agreed on certain rules of humane
treatment of war wounded and
prisoners of war. Only a neutral
society, respected and recognized
by both sides in conflict, could
carry out the Geneva Conference’s
purposes; thus was born the Red
Cross. The new Red Cross socie
ties were voluntary and for a while
were active only in war, but as
time went on they also stepped in
to help when natural disasters
wiped out peoples’ homes and live
lihoods.
In this country, a little old lady
with a conscience as bag as all out
doors and energy to match, heckled
our Congress until the reluctant
law makers joined the Geneva Con
ference in 1882, a year after the
same lady, Clara Barton, had es
tablished the American Red Cross.
Under Clara Barton’s leadership
the Red Cross raced to fires and
floods .feeding and clothing the
homeless, helping to rehabilitate
people who had no means but de
termination to help themselves.
When the Spanish American War
broke, Red Cross took food, medi
cal supplies and services, creature
comforts, and entertainment to the
troops. In 1900, its worth and need
established, Red Cross was given
a charter as the official agency for
certain welfare services to the
