Here There Everywhere
The planning committee for the
4th of July would no doubt like
to put on the big show any day
now. to take advantage of this
tine weather we are experiencing
these days. The mercury is stead
ily climbing, and at its present
rate may reach last years high
when 80 degrees was recorded on
July 21. This, of cteurse, is not as
high as the previous year, when
on August 5, the mercury climbed
to 84. The all-time high recorded
by Fleet Weather Central on the
Waval Station was 8€ This was on
June 28. 1:453.
It 13 hoped, of course, the
weatherman wili be able to fur
nish the kind of weather enjoyed
last year on the 4th. With near
perfect weather, which was in
sharp contrast to that of the ore
vious year, one of the finest and
perhaps the finest 4th celebration,
was enjoyed by a record crowd.
There are several events planned
this year that ought to furnish
some excitement and amusement
for the crowds. Notable among

them, of course, is the so. box
derby, the tug-of-war, an the
horseraces.
* * * # *
The horseraces this year are
shaping up to a battle to the fin
ish line, and Cowboy John had
best look to his laurels, for out of
the blue comes an announcement
that Davy Crockett, complete with
Coonskin cap and swede jacket,
will ride atop Jake Foley's entry..
We want to assure you, this will
be Kodiak’s own Davy Crockett.
The rivalry between the horse
owners seems to have been con
veyed to the horses themselves.
Sugar-eating Joe, John Gibbons
entry, passed near Jake Foley’s
Duty, and the two horses rared up
on their hind feet, and a horse
battle ensued that, according to
one witness, was “really some
thing.” Graeey Hightower, the
third entrant in the three cornered
battle, is out to prove a woman is
just as capable on a horse as a
man—and we have no doubt, after
seeing the fire in her eyes when
she said it, that this battle is more
than just the announced slogan
“may the best horse win.” We
want a good seeing position for
this one.
Speaking of seeing, brings to
mind an observation: Brooklyn
Avenue will look like a cowtown
street, with flying dust prevent
ing seeing of the races or the par
ade unless something is done
about laying the dust. We know.
We're located on it.

A project we are heartily in fa
vor of is the biulding of a play
ground. The work is well advanc
ed and is being done by volunteer
labor, under the direction of Paul
Stover. There is more about it in
another section of the Mirror.
The ladies get the recipes in
another column, why not the men
(and the women, too) in this col
umn. One described as “Boiled
Alaska” is to take a bowl of hot
Cream of Wheat, and drop a scoop
of ice cream smack in the middle
of it—any flavor. This recipe has
n’t been tested by us in our kit
chen or anybody else’s kitchen.
Another recipe we want to pass
on to you—we got it somewhere.
This is a new kind of cocktail,
recommended for hot summer
days—Take an old-fashioned glass
or a tumbler, put ice-cubes in,
punch a hole in a can of beef
broth and pour it over the ice. It
is said to taste like nothing else
can. Let me know how it tastes,
if you try it.
We understand bicycles are
again becoming the rage in many
of. our universities. Bicycle racing
is expected to provide the new col
lege enthusiasm, both in inter-col
legiate meets and intra-mural con
tests, within the next year or two.
It is reported that there are more
collegians riding bikes than in the
Gay Nineties.
Don’t forget. Besides being a
a day for firecrackers, balloons,
parades, and general celebration,
besides being a holiday, the 4th of
July is commemorates the signing
of the Declaration of Indepen
dence. It is still the most signifi
cant event this nation can ever
celebrate.
