Laughs Galore
At Toastmasters
That Toastmaster’s don’t always
take themselves too seriously was
brought out at the last meeting
of the Kodiak Island Toastmas
ter’s Club at the Montmartre Inn
Tuesday.
The meeting began with two hu
morous speeches, one by new
member, A. Graspino, who des
cribed his attempt to get into the
Navy during World War II. He
was unsuccessful, he said, and
though rejected by the Coast
Guard, he later was accepted.. His
speech proved a laugh maker.
Following him, a speech by Don
V/olf, which could hardly be called
a speech, due to its brevity, was
in the nature of an April Fool’s
joke. The toastmaster set the
•stage, with props in place, and
then concluded his speech.
Next week, the Club’s program
will be broadcast over AFRS sta
tion. This broadcast will be only
a cross section of a regular meet
ing, as it will be on the air only
a half hour.
i Speakers at next week’s meet
ing include Will Troyer, Paul
Bond, Dick Guthrie and Amby
Clegg. Bill Henry will act as toast
master and Bob Dawson will han
die table topics. Grammarian is
John Mansuy. The panel of critics,
lead by Kim Clark, includes Jules
Radinsky, Dr. Victor Strash, Larry
Black and Chuck Connelley.
Broadcast time is from 7 to 7:30
p.m.

Police Department
On Cleanup Check
The police department will be
gin checking various places
throughout the city Monday, for
the purpose of cleaning up ac
cumulated trash that has become a
health hazard.
In making the announcement,
Chief Vickery stated a notice will
be left on premises not meeting
the health standards, and owners
will be given three days in which
to clean up. After three days a
re-check wiil be made, and ii the
area is not cleaned up, the De

The police department has been
conducting a campaign the past

nothing to do with the cleanup

ery stated, but is mainly for health
reasons.
