Of This And That
By BETHA DIGREE
Eighteen years ago Monday,
September 8. Bill and Lillian
Lamme were married in Oregon
_They then headed for the
Far North and Kodiak- plan
ning to stay a month if they didn’t
'ike 't. here, a^d a yei- if they
did like it... “We have been too
busv through the years to decide.”
said Postmaster Bill.... We
would suppose, tho. th?t they are
happy here because they came
back even after a trip that took
■?hem around the world, and a
long vacation in Mexico.. ..May
you both have many more happy
years together, neighbors....
Ed Dimock, of La Bow & Haynes
Insurance Company in Anchor
age, spent two days in town this
week on business- This was
Ed’s first trip to Kodiak in sev
eral years.... His wife, Barbara,
who is well known to many here,
expects to be here within the next
week or ten days.....
People living in Ohio should
get a few facts about Kodiak and
Anchorage- Eight men (press
and TV) were in town one day
this week taking pictures and ask
ing questions-The group came
from Columbus, Ohio to cover a
routine training flight with U.S.N.
Reserves (called the “Weekend
Warriors”) from the Naval Air
Station at Columbus_ One
newsman, at least, will be able
to prove to the Ohioans that we
can raise flowers here.... he
stopped at our house to ask per
mission to snap a few pics of our
blooms, and seemed interested to
learn that we have so many wild
flowers_ especially interested
in the fact that we have wild or
chids_ Too bad the visitors
weren’t here a few weeks earlier
when growth was at its peak
But every little bit of information
(factual, of course) can help
spread the word about Alaska’s
beauties.
Men are not the only ones who
have a corner on brains or con
cern themselves with interplane
tary problems of the future. At
the convention of women lawyers
held last month in Los Angeles,
a panel of women lawyers discuss
ed whether there should be rules
of salvage in the heavens, the
same as on the high seas, and
whether the world should prepare
for an interplanetary tribunal.
Mrs. Grace Doering, the wife of
Jack McCord, is in Kodiak. She
presided as president of the wo
men lawyers at the convention.
One of the speakers proposed sev
eral resolutions on regulating
moon travel, some of which were:
Neither outer space nor any part
thereof shall be subject to approp
riation by any nation; exploration
should be jointly undertaken; in
ternational control of outer space.
Dr. Ambrosio, the new presi
dent, stated: “Unless the men
realize the power of the atomic
bomb, we shall never achieve last
ing peace.”
The women lawyers passed res
olutions on establishment of sep
arate juvenile courts in countries
where they do not exist, interna
tional control of narcotics and
abolition of brothels.
