Of This And That
By BETHA DIGRKE
The new Creative Play School
which opened Tuesday in the old
Baptist parsonage building has
sixteen pupils enrolled. Ursala
Strash and Mary Cornelius, who
are operating the school, hope to
eventually be able to bring up the
enrollment up to thirty . . . Both
Ursala and Mary have had train
ing in the work . . . Ursala in
Germany, and Mary in England. ..
From all reports we’ve had, the
October Birthday party held last
week at the VFW Post Hall was
enjoyed by all those in attendance
. . . Heard, too, that the food pre
pared by Phil and Ellen Dingalasa
and John (Gabby) and Vera
Churchill was mighty good . . .
If anyone sees witches and gob
lins . . . ghostas and pirates . . .
cats and skeletons going into the
VFW Post Hall next Friday,
October 31, don’t become alarmed
. . . That’s the night of the
Hallowe’en Masquerade party for
all post and auxiliary members
and their invited guests . . .
Six friends helped Tanya Kraft
celebrate her twelfth birthday
Friday, October 17 . . . Tanya and
her guests first went to the
theatre, followed by a slumber
party at the Kraft home . . . The
guests were Ann,, Jean and Betty
Hall, Barbara Molletti, Andrea
Jarvela and Sharon Chessman . . .
A belated “Happy Birthday” to
Tanya, who is the daughter of
lEmil and Beoma Kraft . . .
Soft music and excellent food
are being promised to Kodiak
diners-out within the next month
by Roy Snyder... Roy has ordered
the “finest in new kitchen equip
ment available,” and will open a
dining room in what was formerlv
the Mecca Lounge... He has al
ready chosen a name for the place
(and an appropriate one, we
think) but we promised not to
disclose it as yet. Ray Wilson will
act as chef. “We plan to offer
good food in pleasant surround
ings,” Roy informed us, “and
there will be suitable dinner mu
sic in addition.”- We hope
there will also be candlelight with
the wine . . .
If we could believe that wishes
sometime come true, we would
wish that the city crew would
dump a load or two . . . or maybe
three, if necessary ... of gravel
into the mudhole on South
Brooklyn . . . Perhaps we should
get a raft and keep it tied up there
in order to get through ... Of
course, one can always wear a
pair of waders . . . more practi
cal, no doubt . . .
Among incoming passengers on
the Funston last Thursday was
Mrs. Ralph (Nina) Johnson. She
had been in Seattle the past
several weeks for medical treat
ment, and is much improved . . .
(3)i I'm inclined to be round-shouldered and would
lilce to learn some exercises that would help
me straighten up. Do gou know of any?'
^5 Begin by walking around your bedroom
with a book balanced on top of your head.
Do this once a day, gradually increasing
the number of times you're able to make a
tour of the room without dropping the
book. When you can stalk proudly from
wall to wall five times without losing your
volume, try putting an apple on it just to make
the exercise a little more difficult-your stance
a little straighter. *
IC.il
Stand ramrod straight with the back
of your head, shoulder blades, hips,
calves and heels pressed against
the wall, Now, rnove away from if,
holding the position when you walk.

Try to keep your spine rigid
whenever you're sit+ing down,
by pressing the small of
your back against the chair.
This may not feel as comfortable as
slumping-at first. But you'll soon
discover it’s a less tiring position
than one that weighs heavily or. the
base of your spine-and it helps build
straighter shoulders, a more graceful
carnage for you /

We don't suppose Nina had much
time to prowl through the antique
shops as she used to do when she
lived in Seattle , . We recall one
such expedition, several years
ago, when she wanted her com
panions to sing or whistle , . .
Just WHY did you want us to
Whistle, Nina? But it was fun, and
fun to remember . . .
Another returning traveler was
Mrs. Alice Petterson, who arrived
via plane last Friday. She has been
visiting relatives in Washington
and Oregon the past few months
... It is good that Alice is home
again . . . We understand her hus
band, ‘Petey\ felt “the four walls
are getting closer together all the
time” ... No doubt he was also
getting tired of doing his own
cooking, too . . . Alice informed
us that her sister, Nina Gillum, is
now in Wapato, Washington, and
will be making her home there
for the time being . . .

The first snow of the season
fell Wednesday.... Mixed with
rain, it was something we could
very well do without . . . Must
get accustomed to it, though, as
we will probably be getting much
more soon . . . Oh, how nice it
will be when Spring comes
again....
We had never realized how
much wonderful music could come
out of a little harmonica until we
heard the performance of John
Sebastion Monday evening . . .
We are extremely grateful to the
Business and Professional Wo
men’s Club for sponsoring the
Music Trail series so that we have
the opportunity to hear such pro
grams. It means much work for
the members, and also means
worry . . . Wondering if the plane
will get in ... if sales will cover
the expenses . . . many other de
tails to cover . . . The BPW de
serves the cooperation of all of us
... It is nice, too, that there are
so many youngsters that enjoy
good music that isn’t canned. We
enjoy records, as most people do,
but nothing can take the place of
seeing and hearing a great artist
in person . . . There were some
sounds, though, that were definite
ly unmusical... the sounds of the
wind howling, and the rattling of
the ventilators during the concert
. . . One thing we appreciated
during the last concert was that
there were no children in the
front row to distract either the
artists nor the audience . . .
Much more pleasant than the first
concert of last season when there
was so much disturbance that the
clarinetist was annoyed, and the
attention of the audience nearby
was drawn to the antics of the
children who were misbehaving...
Noticed several posters around
town this week advertising the
“UNTIED” Nations Dance last
night at the Labor Temple ... It
was an American Legion benefit
dance for the purpose of raising
funds to send the winner of the
Kodiak High School “ORATROI
CAL” contest to the All Alaska
finals . . . Altho we realize that
the United Nations sometimes get
a bit mixed up, this is the first
inkling we have had that they are
untied . . . Wonder if that means
that each country is now on it’s
own? . . . Webster doesn’t list
“oratroical”, so we are confused
as to just what sort of contest the
American Legion sponsored, but
we assume it was “oratorical” . . .
This is one time the Island Publish
ing Company can’t be blamed for
a boo-boo . . . Anyway, regardless
of the condition of the United
Nations, untied or otherwise, we
do wish the Kodiak winner the
best of luck in the finals . . .
