Of This And That
By BETHA DIGREE
We don’t know just what sort of
words our typewriter will produce
today . . . Lost several hours of
sleep last night while awaiting the
final election tabulations . . . The
gals on the election board certainly
deserve a lot of credit. They work
ed so quickly and efficiently that
they finished counting the votes
before three a.hi. . . They were
all cheerful and cooperative des
pite the long hours they sf>ent on
the job ... It was /'storming rso
badly that they failed to go out
for dinner (plenty of candy, cakes
and cookies that a few thoughtful
people provided, but not really a
meal) and we give them a big
hand ...
At least the Kodiak election
board members didn’t have any
COPE (AFL-CIO Committee on
Political Education) poll watchers
breathing down their necks
throughout the day as they had in
Anchorage. The people of Kodiak
have faith in the honesty of the
election board and do not feel the
need of watchers . . . We wonder
just what sort of education COPE
gives the people ... We have read
of some of the union methods of
“education” . . . brass knuckles,
billy clubs, guns and other such
means. Let us hope that that
doesn’t happen in Alaska . . .
Our congratulations to the local
men who have been elected to re
present us in Juneau. They will
have no easy job. We will all be
watching them and listening . . ,
and expecting the promises kept
that have been made.-' The very
best of luck to them' . \ .
Our iavorite reporter called to
tell us of the beautiful orchids ift
bloom at the greenhouse of A1 and
Leona DickbW; We understand the
Dickow’s might be persuaded to
sell some of the blooms if a hus
band or boy friend really wants to
show his appreciation of his best
gal . . . Just a friendly tip to you

The Kodiak Chapter of the
American Junior Red Cross will
begin enrollment Monday of new
members, according to the local
chairman, Mrs. Eunice Neseth.
The enrollment drive will con
tinue through the first week in
December, Mrs. Neseth stated.
Members are enrolled from stu
dents in high school, and from
kindergarten and grade school
children.
President Eisenhower has given
a warm salute to the members of
the American Junior Red Cross,
hailing them for their contribu
tion “to the welfare of the nation
and mankind.”
In a message to all American
Junior Red Cross members, the
President said:
“During the past forty years,
the American Red Cross has wel
corned the young people of the
schools of the United States a<
junior partners in many errands
of mercy. Through the Red Cross
students are able to help theii
neighbors, here and abroad
wherever human beings are ii
need.
“The youth of America adt
strength and ethusiasm to th<
work of the Red Cross. Theii
spirit of voluntary service is <
precious asset in charity, and ii
every community project whicl
engages their loyalty.
“As volunteers, the best kind o
workers in the world, the mem
bers of the American Junior Re<
Cross contribute to the welfare o
the nation and mankind. I con
gratulate you.”

Birthday Monday, November 24,
for Dorothy Chase and her grand
son, John Walton Fry.... John
became 2 years old. We also know
how many years Dorothy has lived
and wish that we could turn back
our own years that far . . .
We realized that large city stores
lose thousands of dollars worth of
merchandise to shoplifters. We
had never thought Kodiak would
be cursed with that low-down type
of character, but have recently
learned differently. Within a few
days after the Wardrobe had open
ed for business some lady (?)
walked out of the shop without the
formality of making payment. May?
be she is the forgetful type . . .
Hear there have been many other
such losses in other business
establishments in town. Oh, well,
just one more black mark against
the human race as a whole....
