Toastmasters Club
In Summer kecess
The Kodiak Island Toastmasters
Club voted to discontinue meet
ings until the first Tuesday in
September. After considerable dis
cussion at last Tuesday’s session,
this action was taken, since mem

pursuing summer hobbies.
A lively and interesting meeting
took place Tuesday when several
innovations were introduced. The
members spoke on a great many
controversial subjects, such as
"Should gambling, even in a modi
fied form, be allowed in Kodiak,”
“Should a child be spanked as a
form of dicipline,” "Kodiak should
install water meters,” "Should
dogs be tied up?" and “Should
foreign aid be continued?” These
subjects and several others invok
ed lively discussions.
The meeting was designated as
“impromptu night” and several
of the members were told on en
tering they had to give a five
minute impromptu speech. All ac
quited themselves very well, and
were adjudged by their critics as
doing an excellent job.
Ernie Harding, President of the
Club was accorded a standing ova
tion by the members. He leaves
Kodiak next month and this was
his last meeting over which to
preside.
