Salubrious Clime
Ups Lemon Crops
Rotarians got in out of the fog
and rain Tuesday to meet at the
Island Fountain to hear Paul
Spencer, of San Dimas, Calif, tell
of his experiences growing 92
acres of lemons where the climate
is so salubrious the crop is har
vested seven times a year.
Mr. Spencer, formerly in con
struction work, took up lemons as
an avocation that grew into his
vocation and he said he enjoyed
it though *it was a way of life that
is being crowded out by popula
tion, factories and freeways. He
also told of the work of the Sun
kist cooperative organization in
owning timber for boxes, supply
ing pickers for crops and super
vising the production of over a
hundred by-products from the
fruit, one of the main ones being
pectin.
Mr. Spencer, who is visiting his
son in the service here, said he
appreciates Kodiak’s cool climate.
A brief inspirational message
on service, one of the features of
Rotary work, was presented by
Dr. A. Holmes Johnson, who said
the principles that make the best
life are the principles propound
ed by Rotary, and that if “you

BOOK JACKET REVIEWS
‘Our Flight
To Adventure’
By Tay and Lowell Thomas, Jr.
Lowell Thomas, Jr. is becoming
quite famous as an adventurer, fol
lowing in the footsteps of his
father, into the off-beat places of
the world.
Thomas and his wife, Tay, board
ed their plane, nicknamed “Char
lie,” in Paris, and flew down over
Africa to the Congo country; up
to Cairo; over to the Holy Land;
to Istanbul, Tehran, on to Kar
achi and across the Persian Gulf
to Saudi Arabia, and finally back
to Paris.
With “Charlie’s” help, the
Thomases had a number of extra
ordinary adventures, met a wide
variety of people, came to know
intimately a fascinating part of
the world.
It’s an off-the-beaten-track kind
of story; for a while they lived
with the Pygmies; when they ac
companied an RAF bombing mis
sion oyer Mount Kenya, “Charlie”
nearly had his wings clipped. Tay
almost got shot in the Jordan val
ley.
Lowell Thomas, Jr. is the au
thor of the highly successful “Out
of This World” He has participat
ed in eleven expeditions, includ
ing a trip around South America,
a flight around the world.

bookshelves of the Kodiak Public
Library.)
Enrollment High
At University
Enrollment for fall semester at
the University of Alaska already
has broken all records, Mrs. Laura
E. Jones, registrar, said this week.
She urged Alaskan students who
wish to live in campus residence
halls to apply for admission at
once.
The three men’s halls already
are fully booked, and Wickersham
Hall, new 100-woman residence
hall, has only a few vacancies.
“The new 100-man residence hall
probably will be completed by
mid-September, and this will re
lieve some of the pressure,” Mrs.
Jones explained.
First preference will be given
Alaskan students. The institution
has been forced to turn down a
number of applications from out
side Alaska.
The residence halls will open
Sept. 9, and guidance testing and
orientation for new students will
be from Sept. 10-13. Registration
for new students will be Sept. 15,
and for returning students Sept.
16.! Instruction will commence
Sept. 17.
Applicants should write to:
University of Alaska Registrar,
College, Alaska.
NOTICE
The Montmartre Inn will be
open Sunday afternoons. Special

Letter to the Editor
Dear Mr. Editor:
The time comes at the comple
tion of a job to reflect with satis
faction or dismay. Such a time
has come now, and I feel that ev
eryone concerned can well reflect
with satisfaction on a job well
done. The job...the Fourth of
July Celebration.
Very likely few people know
how much effort is expended on
such a celebration. In this case
the operations were handled by
seventeen men with nineteen com
mittes. Each of these men had a
job to do which entailed a good
deal of work and responsibility.
Each of these men came through
in fine fashion, doing, a top-notch
job and receiving no more pay
than the satisfaction of helping
others have a good time. No lau
dits could be too great for them.
These committees were filled hr
Lou Veerman, O. K. KJncaid, Pete
Ramaglia,Walt Muller, Art
Brooks, Bob Spencer, Chief Vic
kery, Curly Wilson <§P- Poland,
Frank Iricki^jjin Cru^, Ole John
son, mJjRBMbtw Johnson,
Radinskj$#n Wolf, Jess Ballard
atid Dick4 Berg;* I would Bke it to
be known tW the spirit and ei>
thusia^«b%)| b? these men is .. *
a rare quality and one of which
the city of Kodiak can be proud.
To them we can well give thanks
for giving ns a grand Fourth of
July Celebration.
Yours very truly,
Doctor Bob Johnson
