A few weeks ago the Mirror pub
lished a list of the members of the
BPW who had volunteered to baby
sit while mothers voted in the Pri
mary election. Through an over
sight, the list was incomplete when
we received it, and we have beer
requested to add the names of
Mrs. Etta Edris and Mrs. Howard
Demarest.

run on gasoline produced by Standard’s affiliates. Last year
in addition to our Western operations, we* produced oil in
5 Eastern Hemisphere countries, processed it at 15 overseas
refineries, supplied petroleum products to 67 countries outside
the Iron Curtain. The result was a big boost for industry of
Free World nations, conservation of U.S. oil reserves, and a
higher standard of living for the peoples of many lands.

Icons Topic
For Society
The history and lore of Russian
icons will be the topic of a talk
to be given by the Very Reverend
Roman Sturmer at the Historical
Society meeting to be held next
Tuesday, May 15, at 8 p. m. in the
Science room of the old high
school building.
Local people are familiar with
icons through their use in the Rn«
sian Church and in homes in the
area. Some are plain representa
tions of members of the Holy Fam
ily and Saints, while others are
elaborate with gold and silver de
sign work. Rev. Sturmer, who lost
his own collection of icons in the
recent Russian Church parsonage
fire, will use some of those from
the Russian Church to illustrate
his talk. ‘
The icon lecture follows a re
cent one on Attu basket weaving,
both being a part of a series of
programs designed to acquaint
members of the society with the
rich historical background of the
Kodiak region.
