Kodiak Diary
(continued from Dane 2)
rom seeing himself as others see
liin?
Drinking, of course, is any
nan’s business. Being a drunk*
ird brings problems that makes
t everybody’s business. So we
nake this offer.
We will furnish a free ticket to
iny drunkard willing to spend a
‘Lost Weekend” at the Orphe
im—no questions asked, no
lames taken, only experienced
akers need apply.
There is just one catch.
You’ll have to be sober when
mu come for your ticket.
Amanda Piice, whose laundry
s down past Kraft’s opposite the
Kodiak Book Fair, had a sad ex
perience this week.
\manda has a wood burning
itove, and as part of the fuel
used in starting fires she gets
boxes of shavings and seraps
from the Owen & Sutliff shop,
also located across the street.
The other night Amanda went
into the laundry late, using the
illumination from the streetlight
to see her way about, took a
ihovel, put a heap of shavings
n the stove, and lit the fire
The next day she asked one of
ler assistants where the cloth
nag was with the company’s
noney in it.
Why, the assistant answered,
[ hid it in the shavings where we
always keep it.
As near as Amanda can rem
ember, the bag had over $100 in
it, mostly in checks.
Moral: Don’t hide your cash
in the trash.

A record of 17 years’ standing
was broken when Mrs. Diana
Collins, wife of A. J. Collins, of
the Casino, left recently on a
trip to the States.
Her departure marks the first
time since the couple have been
married that they have been sep
arated for even one day!
For 17 years, a total of 366
days each, not counting leap
years, or a total of 6205 days, |
Mr. and Mrs. Collins have been
inseparable.
We couldn’t believe two peo
ple could go 17 years without
being separated sometime, so we
went and asked Mr. Collins.
“Hasn’t either one of you ever
been in the hospital?” we want
ed to know.
“No,” said Mr. Collins.
“Did you come to Kodiak to
gether?” we asked. So many
, couples don’t.
I “Yes” said Mr. Collins,
i ‘ I even take her on my fisb-!
3 ing trips,” Mr. Collins explained.
, “I’d have liked to have gone on
this trip with her, but I could
t n’t, for business reasons It just
3 happened to wo k out before
l that we were always able to be
t together.”
5 “Seventeen years,” we mused
amazedly again. “That’s quite a
p record.”
“Well,” said Mr. Collins,
, “when she comes back we’ll start
out on another one.”
"You mean another 17 years?”
, we asked incredulously.
“That’s right,” said Mr. Col
. lin%
Ane be sounded like he meant
it.
We still can’t get over it. Six
thousand two hundred and five
days,—and in summer, in Alaska,
look how long the days are.
