well-known composers, and operas.

Best Chicken-Blue Cheese Salad
Never has chicken salad been
quite so delicious! The Blue
cheese seems to enhance the
chicken flavor. Celery slices add
delightful crispness. The rice,
seasoned with onion and may
onnaise, stretches the chicken.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cups water
I teaspoon salt
2/3 cup uncooked white rice
1 tablespoon grated onion
3$ cup mayonnaise
teaspoon black pepper
1 1/3 to 2 cups diced cooked
chicken or turkey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
34 cup sliced celery
34 cup crumbled Clue cheese
Half a cucumber
Salad greens
Pimiento strips or radish
roses for garnish
METHOD: Put the water, salt
end rice in a 2-quart saucepan.
Bjtog to a vigorous ever a
high heat. Turn the heat down
low. Cover with a lid and sim
mer over this low heat 14 min
utes. Remove the saucepan from
the heat but leave the lid on 10
minutes.
Stir th,e onion, mayonnaise
and black: pepper into the hot
rice. Cool. Sprinkle the chicken
with the lemon juice. Stir the
chicken and celery into the rice.
Cover and store in the refrig
erator. When cold, stir in the
Blue cheese.
To serve, peel cucumber if de

dentations. Slice the cucumber
into thin slices. Place the rice
chicken salad on salad greens.

Of This And That
Not long ago an Anchorage ^
paper carried a story telling of *
pussy willows budding out for the
second time this year .... but
Kodiak' can boast of not only out-of
season (pussy wil’ows (some were
reported at Island Lake), but roses
have again budded and spring
blooming bulbs are shooting up
out of the ground. If anyone
doubts this statement we have the
rose buds in our office to prove it.
Several other gardeners have re
ported bulbs sprouting, too.
Those who enjoy watching lights
sparkling on the water at yght
should take a look at the site of
the Smajl Boat Harbor one even
ing soon. The harge “Husky” with
her floodlighted tower and string
of twinkling amber lights trailing
hundreds of feet along the floats
is truly a beautiful sight. It all
brings to mind the Lake Washing
ton floating bridge in Seattle . . .
on a small scale.
Did you know that the. Griffin
Memorial Hospital is named for a
locai resident who was active in
building our local ^hospital?
The late W.J. Erskine and E.W.
Griffin weref pioneers in obtaining
a hospital for this area after a
group of public spirited men be
came alarmed at the number of
deaths attributable to the lack of
hospital facilities. These same men
were instrumental in having the
necessary legislation • passed to
provide funds for the purchase of
suitable land and the construction
of a building.
The hospital was originally staff
ed by private parties and operated
as a community hospital, but a
stable staff could not be obtained.
Fully aware of the problem, the
City Council requested that Sisters
be asked to staff and operate the
hospital.
On November H, 1944 the Grey
Nuns of the Sabred Heart accepted
the invitation and took over mana
gement of Griffin Memorial Hos
pital, and have successfully operat
ed it since that date.
"It seems so good to be home
again .... there is too much
traffic and noise outside”, said
Margaret Lightfoot when she arriv
ed via PNA Sunday morning ,and
was welcomed by her family and
a few close friends.
Margaret, who is Administrative
Clerk at the local Alaska Commun
ications System, returned to her
duties Monday after a month-long
vacation in Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
“We all thank you for letting
us visit the Kodiak Mirror. We had
fun. We wish we could come a
gain. We like to learn about the
machines.”
The above is quoted from a note
received by us this week from
Brownie Troop No. 22 following a
visit from them last week, under
the direction of Mrs. Helen Hall.
To Troop 22 we say, “We enjoyed
having you here and you may come
again whenever you wish.”
SMALL RUGS
Small throw rugs that have a
tendency to slip along the floor
can be cured by attaching several
jar rubbers to the dhderside, or
by shellacking the reverse side.

Whenever I apply make-up if looks all right
fbr about half an hour- then it s+arfi to cake.
What can I do about ft?* y-'ri
^5 Nip*1 times out of ten, you can blame your problem on
excess skin'oils that tend to seep through and patch the make*
up you're wearing, especially around the forehead, nose and chin
Here's how to solve the problem:
“finishing Cream used as a base tor
your loos*: dr compressed powder will
present a perfect cover for skin that's
troubled by oil in the extreme.
Rub a few dots of the cream well into your skin
and pat on a light veil of your favorite make-up.
For extra staying power and a fashionable finish
for your face, we recommend foundation aruf •
powder in-one.
