Kodiak Diary

names were on both petitions.
aybe if it cost two-bits or
more a signature, people would
take the time to see what they
were signing to determine if they
were getting their money’s worth.
If we had time we’d get up a
petition to that effect.
Tuck Wheeldon was on his way
home to lunch on Spruce Lane
one day this week, when he came
to a small house, ^he door was
open, and smoke was curling
from it. Looking in, Tuck saw a
man asleep on the davenport,
and saw that the smoke was
coming from alongside the man
from a spot in the davenport
that was burning.
Tuck went in and called the
man but only got a few gruntst
so getting some water he applied
it to the burning hole in the dav
enport, which by now was the
size of a big plate and burning
vigorously. After several applica-'
tions of water Tuck decided the
fire was out and went on home,
where he had to explain why he
was late for lunch.
After eating, Tuck left for work
and on the way decided to look
in to see how the davenport was.
The man was still asleep. The
fire was appaiently safely out.
But Tuck thought he’d have
some fun. Shaking the man vig
orously he called to him to wake
up, his davenport was afire!
That produced results. “I
know it,” said the man as he
stirred himself, “I was just figur
ing out what to do about it!”
Kodiak, we couldn’t help but
notice, is mentioned in each of
the two most recent issues of Es
quire, the magazine for men,
which was a war casualty in this
area The word Kodiak, not the
city.
In the first, in a review of the
Bob Hope-Bing Crosby opus,
“The Road to Utopia,” a movie
review said that in the pictuie
“Kodiak” bears talk In another
place it says Hope and Crosby
land at Skagway—so now we are
wondering how a Kodiak bear
got over there. And we’ll bet
when we see the movie, they
won’t be Kodiak bears at all.
In the second issuo. there is an
ad for ladies’ sport jackets One
of the numbers is described as
being made of “Kodiak” cloth
It isn’t made at Kodiak, so far
as we know, but the cloth is de
scribed as water repellent, and
maybe its chrisiener heard that
to some Kodiakians water is re
pellent.
The jacket is very nifty look
ing, bui there is one feature of it
that was never designed for Kl
