K.R.O.C. Dance
Tomorrow Night
An annual event, the Crab Fish
ermen’s Ball will be held to
morrow night at the Elks Hall.
The affair, which is sponsored
by the Kodiak Russian Orthodox
Club, is open to the public. Tickets
may be obtained at the door.
Of This And That
The title of that old song, ’’June
in January”, could almost be true
in Kodiak this week. As we sit
here at our desk, the sunlight is
pouring in through even our un
washed windows with the inten
sity of a summer day.
It is rather difficult to keep one’s
mind on the mundane details of
work-and so pleasant to leaf
through the new seed and plant
catalogs that are beginning to ar
rive-to dream of the days ahead
when one can once more watch
the new growth of spring. We rea
lize there will he many cold,
gloomy days during the next two
or three months, and possibly
more snow-but we try to ignore
that unpleasant thought as much
as possible.
There was much activity at the
home of Mayor and Mrs. Merrill
Coon Tuesday, February 4_In
the afternoon Louise (Mrs. Coon)
entertained with a tea honoring
Mrs. Arnold McKechnie, the
charming wife of Adm. McKechnie.
Next was a birthday dinner,
with Capt. and Mrs. N.J. SamDson
as guests, to celebrate the birth
day of Mrs Sampson anl that of
Merrill_
“Check your kids, whip up your
favorite dish, grab your husband
and go to the ‘Sweetheart Social’
at the CPO Monday night, Feb
ruary 10”-that’s the word we
were asked to pass on to all mem
bers of the Navy Wives Club.
There will be a potluck dinner,
and an evening of dancing. So
that none of the parents need
stay at home to baby sit, the nur
sery will be open.

... .Why, oh why, must some driv
ers summon their riders in such
an ill-mannered fashion-especi
ally early in the morning when
others may be sleeping? It is a
revolting way of awakening.
and makes one begin the day with
a feeling of anger!
A note from Major Doug Ross
and his wife, Ruth, this week
they both miss their friends in Ko
diak and send greetings.
HOW CAN I ? ? ? ? ?
Q. Is there any way I can reju
venate a typewritter ribbon that
is beginning to get dim?
A. Try dipping a toothpick in
ordinary mineral oil and dabbi.ig
bits of this over the entire length
of the ribbon at intervals of one
inch. A few hours later, the ribbon
should be* ready to make a big im
pression on whatever you’re typ
ing.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Stifle
vJ' wC a U S W
Potatoes Result
a Late French King
By Max Winkler
President. Restaurants Longchatnps
Many an accident has resulted in some useful invention and the ;
lateness of King Louis Thilippe was no exception. \
He was to be honor guest at a banquet which included French |
fries because of his known fondness for them. The chef took them
from the hot fat iust at the peak of golden brown perfection. Alas!
No King.
3y the time royalty had arrived the potatoes were cold—and !
soggy. To restore them as much as possible, the chef dunked them
in the hot fat again.
The potatoes swelled beyond their original size. The chef shrank
in anticipation of what his French tries would bring on his head, j
It probably was the first time food was served with crossed fingers.
The king tasted, smacked his lips and smiled with satisfaction. \
Another delightful dish had been created for posterity. It is simple i
to prepare.
SOU FFLE POTATOES {serves 6) ;
12 medium Idaho potatoes 2 pans of deep fat
Wash and peel potatoes, pare into egg shape and slice length*
wiss Cl inch thick. Fry in fat at 275 degrees F. 4 to 5 minutes or
until potatoes rise to surface. Take out and fry in second pan at
400 degrees. When potatoes rise this time they will be puffy and
ready to serve.

Today
According to advance reports,
Orpheum Theatre audiences can
anticipate one of the most horrific
experiences the screen has ever
offered when they see atom-age
scientists make a 10,000-year-old
fegend come true by turning a
formal man into a savage beast of
prey in Columbia Pictures’ “The
Werewolf. A trail of death is left
by the serum inoculated man turn
ed Werewolf.
Also on the same billing is Rory
Calhoun as “Utah Blaine,” the
gun slinging range adventurer who
rides into trouble just north of the
border in the 1870’s.
Sunday and Monday
The timely Walt Disney’s “Man
In Space” may well steal the show
over the weekend. It is the seeond
“plus” feature in an all-Disnev
show, and is a science-factual
featurette.
The featured show is Disney's
“Davy Crockett and the River
Pirates.”
This full-length Technicolor
feature, starring Fess Parker in
the frontier role that brought him
nation-wide fame, is an exciting
story of adventure staged along *
the wild shores of the Ohio in the
'e^endary era of river piracy.
It was photographed on location
in settings of natural pictorial
beauty, and was adapted from the
original “Disneyland” Televisio*
Productions.
Tuesday and Wednesday
John Fletcher, Manager of tht
Orpheum Theatre, had this to sa\
about the picture coming next
(Quote) “Mr. Deeds Goes Tc
Town” had it. “It Happened Om
Night” had it. “The Awful Truth"
had it. Now, after too many leae
years, the nations funnybone is in
for some hilarious seducing.
because “The Ambassador's Dau
ghter” has it—the “magic” thai
makes a comedy great!
In the Technicolor production
are Olivia de Havilland, John
Forsythe, Myrna Loy and Adopbt
Menjou.
Thursday and Friday

door action drama presented bj
Warner BrOs. in Cinemascope and
