Of This And That
By Betha Digree
Bob Kedrick, Anchorage Times
writer (his column’ All Around
Alaska’ is our favorite, and always
read first) warns that the towns of
Petersburg and Wrangell are at
nresent without dentists . . . Add
Kodiak to that list . . . Dr. Eugene
Sullivan has been on vacation for
the past several months, and Dr.
Paul Jaeger comes here from
Anchorage about once a month
. . think we had better get out.
the pliers for that loose tooth . . .
Don’t forget to drop in at the
Open House at the Health Center
between 2 and 4 o’clock this after
noon . . .Miss Doris Riggins, the
new Public Health nurse, will be
on hand to greet visitors . . . The
Kodiak Health and Welfare
Council wants everyone to inspect,
the newr addition to the Health
Center . . .
We’re wondering just what will
happen if a horde of hungry
people decide to take advantage
of the Outdoorsmen Club’s prom
ise of “All you can eat for fifty
cents’’ at the fishfry tomorrow
. . . How far will ten halibut
stretch (at least, that’s the number
we heard were caught during the
Halibut Derby last weekend) . . .
Especially when the smallest
caught weighed in at two pounds,
and the largest at thirteen . . .
But there ARE some big fish in
these waters . . . we have been
informed that one weighing 237
pounds was caught in Mill Bay
. . . Sounds as tho the Derby was
held in the wrong area . . .
Because we firmly believe in
sensible conservation of wildlife,
and especially flowers and trees
. . . for many years we have con
iriDUiea, in a small way,, 10 me
National Wildlife Federation . . .
But there will be no further such
donations to the organization . . .
When professional conservation
ists come to Alaska from Washing
ton, D.C. to oppose statehood for
Alaskans, its just a bit too much
. . . Especially after they tried to
bull-doze the Territorial Legisla
ture . . . testified against state
hood during Congressional hear
ings . . . and have generally tried
to interfere in things that do not
concern them . . . About now one
begins to wonder who is paying
them how much ... To those twc
gentlemen (?), Gutermuth and
Callison, we can only say, “Why
don’t you just quietly go back
home and mind your own business,
while Alaskans mind their busi
ness?” . . . We won’t offer to pay
their fare home . . . they might
think that we were attempting to
“bribe” them . . .
Edith Wiley and the children
returned Monday after spending
more than two months with
Edith's family in Mullen, Nebraska
- . . ‘The weather was good near
ly every day while we were in
Mullen,” Edith told us,” and the
children really had a wonderful
time on their grandparents farm,
but they seemed happy to get
home again to see their Daddy”
. . . When we saw the children
shortly after their return, they
were busy picking sal monberries
. . . renewing friendships with
playmates . . . and having fun
. . . Even Janelle, who is not yet
three months old,, was smiling like
a rosy little cherub . . . Edith ex
perienced much difficulty when
she tried to get train reservations
from Cheyenne, Wyoming to
Seattle ... It was almost impossi
ble to obtain space because of the
great number of people travelling
. . . We welcome Edith back . . .
and maybe we can persuade her
to take over our duties for a few
days so that we can take a short
vacation . . . It’s something to
work on, anyway ... >•

Pimiento Cheese
'‘Sandwich”
NEW STYLE
By BETTY BARCLAY
Whenever a brand new recipe idea
conies along and later become* a
family favorite, it is usually some
thing simple and easily varied. Here
is such an idea—* "sandwich” with
out bread.
Bright red pimientos. lying color
and flavor to sliced luraffiSeon meat
and squares of mild American proc
essed cheese. Stacked together they
form a "sandwich”, and by adding
sliced pineapple and a stuffed olive
on a food pick to hold each section
together, the "sandwich" takes on a
party air.
Here is how it is done:
5 slices luncheon meat
4 slices American proiessed cheese
t 4-oz can or jar canned pimientos
2 whole pineapple slices
4 pimiento stuffed olives
4 food picks
parsley
On a slice of luncheon meat place
a slice of cheese. Over this lay strips
of canned pimiento. Continue until
all meat, cheese, and pimiento are
used. Use four food picks to hold it
together and cut through the “sand
wich'* diagonally (from comer to
corner) to form four triangles. Cut
pineapple in half and place the
halves between the cut portions of
the “sandwich". Brush with salad oil
and bake in a 550 degree oven about
15 minutes or until cheese begins to
melt, l’lace an olive on each pick and
garnish loaf with parsley. 4 servings.
Zesty pimientos add beauty and
variety to many foods. Try this same
idea hut instead of processed cheese,
use crumbled Roquefort or American
Blue Cheese. Then for a flavor sur
prise. make the "sandwich” as di
rected but leave out the cheese and
substitute peanut butter!
IT*$ AN AMERICAN PRIVILEGE
TO VOTE — EXERCISE IT!
$: • I have dark blond hair that gets a little
lighter when the sun blesches rt in the ^
summer. How can I encourage this?
At "&>u can encourage the sun to bring our
the natural blondness in your hair by
adding lemon juice to your rinsing water.
Here's how you do if;
Shampoo your hair and rinse if
twice m,clear water. Hill the bow!
■for the third time and add the jujcc
of one lemon. Rinse again. If you
prefer to wash your hair under
the shower or rinse it with a spray,
add the lemon juice to half a
cup of water and pour the
mixture over your head.
If you brush your hair dry under the
sun, it will encourage natural glints
to show up even more than usual.
Don't be afraid to shampoo your hair
twice a week-fair hair, especially,
always looks brighter and prettier
just after it's been washed.
