By Shirley Black
I have an unusual request to
fulfill this week. An elderly wo
man—now in her seventies—has
sent me a poem which was inspired
by h«r stay in Kodiak this summer.
The unusual part of the request is
that she doesn’t want her name
published along with the poem—
she wants to see if her son will
know that she wrote it.
So, without being able to give
any more clues, here is the poem.
“An Ode to Kodiak”, from a person ,
I remember as being both charm- <
ing and interesting. '
"Kodiak, O Kodiak! ;
The city by the raging sea— 1
Where ships go down in rain "
and storm
On reefs thr«£ can’t be seen. 1
“Kodiak, O Kodiak! f
I have viewed your mountains *
and lakes— }
Scenes the whole world should J
i see.
There’s only one thing wrong,
The wind is too strong

Most families on vacation
wisely include a list of first-aid
"do’s and don’ts” as part of their
preparation. You should also be
familiar with outdoor hazards
that may mean trouble for your
dog.
For example, your dog may be
bitten by a poisonous snake; and
Deg of the Week:
GOLDEN RETRIEVED.

Dogs are occasionally bitten
by black widow spiders and
sometimes dogs are stung to
death by bee swarms. If the .dog
‘becomes sick and inactive and
you suspect he has been bitten
: or stung, give him a small drink
of strong coffee as a stimulant.
-Never use alcohol or apply any
' caustics to the bites. Contact a
: veterinarian immediately. . j
When your pet gets too friend
ly with a skunk (pity the poor
pooch) wash him in hot water
with soap, and repeat if neces
sary. Then place him in the sun
——heat is the best way to dispel
skunk odor. .
Be sure the dog has plenty oi;
fresh, pure water, so he won t be
temptSl to try pools that may,
be unclean.
Feeding Tips A healthy, frisky
dog requires a well-rounded diet,
fed to him once a day. He
needs daily exercise, depending
«m his size and weight—

In this city by the sea.
“Kodiak, O Kodiak!
The day has come for my re
turn
To the home I left behind.
To travel thousands of miles
By plane in the skies
My loved ones for to see.
And the friends I have met
I will never forget
So farewell—city by the sea.
