Many Children in Area Need
Therapy, Local Club Advised
Approximately fi per cent of
an estimated 1,000 children in
the Kenai, Soldotna, Sterling,
Tustumena and Ninilchik areas
are in need of speech and hear
ing therapy treatments.
This was the somewhat alarm
ing information told by Dr. Hel
en Dittman Wednesday night
when she was guest speaker at
the meeting of the Redoubt
Toastmistress Club. Doctor Ditt
man, clinical director of the Al
aska Crippled Children’s Asso
ciation, arrived from Anchorage
Packrat Pete
the homesteader was so mad at
his neighbor, Gus, that he was
storming around the cabin call
ing him everything h e could
think of for the benefit of his
wife, Mabel, and he ended with,
“The dirty double crosser.”
Then Mabel said, “Why you
don’t have any right to call Gus
that. Gus has never been on the
ocean in his life.”
Packrat paused a minute and
said real slow, “What did you
say?”
Mabel grinned and said “That
is what a dirty double crosser is,
someone who’s crossed the ocean
twice without taking a bath.”
Packrat sighed and Mabel
said, “That just pays you back
for all the corny jokes you pull
on me.” But Packrat Pete looked
so sad Mabel said, “Don’t you
mind about Gus, Packrat. I know
one place you won’t be double
crossed and that’s down at Ke
nai Korners L and H.”

with Western

policy.
AUTO INSURANCE
RATES REDUCED
Careful drivers can save an
average of $40 in this area on
auto insurance rates with a
newly-created type of Safe
Driver insurance according to
Leo T. Oberts, Kenai area in
surance agent.
“It is ridiculous for a man
who drives cautiously and sel
dom has accidents to be pen
alized with rates that must be
charged to the careless driver,”
says Leo, “yet that is exactly
what was happening with the
old style auto insurance poli
cies. Now Western Pacific In
surance, one of our leading
companies, has come up with
an ideal solution in its new
Safe Driver policy. D rivers
with good records can immed
iately obtain insurance at rates
substantially below those ordi
narily charged.”
S t r e a mlined merchandising
methods and simplified billing
procedures pioneered by West
ern Pacific have also contrib
uted to cost reductions accord
ing to Leo who is now able to
take applications for the new
Safe Driver policy at his office
in the Oberts Building.
