There’s nothing like a lively dis
cussion to pep up a City Council
meeting. It was cold and blustery
Monday night, as you prob
ably remember, but tempers flared
to white heat when Councilmen
Deveau and White met in verbal
i combat over the subject of water.
This is a sore subject in Kodiak at
the present time with the City
faced with a water shortage. The
discussion culminated with Deveau
quitting the meeting. Following
his exit and due to lack of quorum,
a recess was declared by Mayor
Johnson.
The flare-up may have been
caused partly by the chilly atmos
phere in the Council Chambers.
With the wind howling outside in
gusts of over sixty knots, ajjd seem
ingly a hundred knots, your chill
ed observer couldn’t help but
think of a title for a new song.
You've heard and no doubt sung
the once popular song, “Baby Its
Cold Outside.” That is now chang
ed to “Mr, Its Cold Inside.” What
■ some of you smokers may need is
a good five cent cigar, but what
this town needs is a new City
Hall. It is rather ironical for the
City Fathers (is that the word you
;use for Councilwomen, too?) to
sit up there in the present decrepit
chambers and plan improvements
for the City.

The wind that blew Monday
night could be likened to an artist.
She picked her "colors” from her
palette, the harbor, along Marine
Way, and threw them on the can
vas leaving grotesque and some
times weird scenes along the way.
Cars standing along the railing
were transformed into iceberg
like shapes, and the cable railing
drooped with as much as 10 inches
of ice hanging from it. Ice formed
on car antennas with the spray
striking them and quickly freezing,
bending them to a horizontal posi
tion.

Howard Demarest, USO Director,
who lives in one of the houses on
Marine Way, found he was living
in a virtual igloo, and was unable
to open the door. By working at
it a while, he managed to free him
self from his icy prison. Others
along the way had similar experi
ences, including the Kodiak Bot
J ling Works, who also had difficul
, ty opening the door.

A private home has been turned
over to the Economics Department
of the University of Alaska for
training of co-eds in home manage
ment. The idea is to give them
first hand experience in carrying
out the duties of hostess, and to
enable the students to coordinate
their activities so there is time to
enjoy a balance of work and leis
ure—in other words, to train her
for the job of being a bride. For
most girls however, it looks like
it will have to be done the same
hard way as has been done in the
past, with the usual burnt biscuits,
the frustrations, etc. that follow
the happy courtship period, where
the newly-made home is her only
laboratory.
