Here There Everywh
ere
As stated elsewhere, today make*
only 14 more shopping days to
Christmas. Pity the po.jr harried
salesgirl who has the last minute
shoppers to contend with in the
closing weeks prior to Christm.s.
She has many hectic moments to
look forward to between now and
Christmas Eve when the last laden
customer staggers out into the
street.
We always envy the ideal shop
per who walks into a store with a
neatly written list, even to each
item priced as to the allotted
amount to be spent, as for ill
stance: Aunt Sadie, 1 embroidered
hankie, $1.00; Jackie, mouth 01
gan, $2.00; Sister Anne, nightie,
$5; husband Jim, tie and/cr belt,
$3.T>0, etc. What we would like to
know, can they always stay with

in that budgeted amount? Or do
those prices change frequency? If
you cannot conform to the idealis
tic policy of knowing precisely
what you want, without having the
salesgirl show you alternatives,
the earlier you shop the better.
Are customers rude to sales
girls? In a survey, the concensus
of opinion of salesgirls is that if
you are a little inconsiderate and
impatient occasionally, you arc
rarely rude. Difficult men are less
frequent than demanding women,
but when a man is difficult he
makes up for about four female
counterparts.
Are you one of those who want
a white Christmas? Your chances
of getting your wish if you do are
better here in Kodiak, than in
Fresno, Calif. There the Weather
Bureau figures the percentage
chances of snow as 0%. Seattle is
figured as having., a .10% chance;
Spokane, 60%.; getting on into
Montana, Billings has a 90%
chance; Bismark, North Dakota,
80%; Omaha, NebtaSkp has a 40%
chance. As you go East, the
chances increase. Minneapolis and
St. Paul are listed as having a
100%' chance and Milwaukee, a
90% chance. This may surprise
you: Boston, Massachusetts has a
50% chance, while New York City
has only 10%, the same as on the
West Coast, and at Atlanta,
Georgia.
*****
As to Kodiak. 9.10 inches of
snow is predicted for this area in
December, according to Fleet
Weather Central on the Naval
Station. Unofficially, and accord
ing to past performances, you have
an excellent chance of snow on
the ground, without having to go
into the hills for it. You might
just as well get Junior that sled,
because he'll be able to play with
it before the winter is out.
Just imagine! No more alcoholic
beverages or even beer on the
University of Alaska campus. Dr.
Patty, University president, has
banned all such liquor. How* are
some of the poor students going
to get through the day. Thi3 is the
sort of thing that dates a man. We
never even thought of such a
thing in the good old days when
we attended school. Once in a
while there was a little "hard"
cider around,* but- it wasn’t very,
tard. We got our Education out of
i jug of pure apple cider, with
ioughnuts. on the side. Our tastes
were a little simpler, but wo still
lad a lot of fun.
But here’s one that would have
ouched us to the quick, even in
hose days: In Milwaukee, Wiscon
in, the dean of women was hang
d in effigy during the weekend,
rhe dean of women at Marquette

is enforcing the University’s ban
on “public displays of affection.”
She said the goodnights in front
of the girls dormitories were “too
long and too affectionate.” It was
reported that now coeds and their
dates shake hands and hurry
away from the front steps of the
universities 10 residence halls. It
seems education will be gained
only from the textbooks in the fu
ture.
A Christmas hint to you hostess
es: No formal dinner is complete
without nuts. Always invite a few.
We read somewhere: “Its be
coming more difficult ta support
the government in the manner in
which it has grown accustomed.”
How true.
The treasury now estimates that
the government will spend in this
fiscal year about $69 billions. Add
that to what has already been
spent and the President will have
spent in the four years of his re
sponsibility nearly 270 billions,
which is more than government
cost in any other four peacetime
years. Forty years ago, in 1916,
the government spen $713 mil
lion—not billions! This fiscal year
the treasury will pay out in inter
est alone on the national debt
nearly seven times as much as the
sum of the entire 1916 debt.
The game of. the “big fumble”—
