Where they Serve the Best Drinks in Town
The Place with the Friendly Atmosphere
Kodiak Diary
(continued from Dace 3)
street where they were shown
the ingredients of b ead and fol
lowed some raisin bread from
dough to loaf. Next they stop
ped at WVCQ where Lt. Gene
Newhall showed the studio
which seats 209, the broadcast
room where Harold Bettinger
was describing the records on
turntables at his right and left.
Next they visited the laundry,
where in a maze of modern
equipment, they followed cloth
ing from the first step of check
ing and stamping numbers on to
the final folding of the garments
for return to the customers.
Then to the dry cleaning, where
they can handle the cleaning ol
thousands of men with dispatch
By the time they had looked
over the guns and equipment in
the ordinance repair shop it was
almost 4 o’clock and the mem
bers reluctantly started back for
town
On the way each one was
given a sample loaf of bread and
stopped long enough at an ice
cream parlor to have chocolate
sundaes.
I The tour was arranged by
Major R. D. MacDonald and
Major Harry Hornacker.
An FBI man, we are told, who
had been able to get about any
place, both in and out of Alaska,
merely by a quick flip of his
FBI credentials, arrived in Ko
diak and business necessitated
his going to the base.
He borrowed a car—a legiti
mate car, that is, with base
number and the necessary in
surance, etc, that would allow it
in the base—and started for his
destination.
He got as far as the first
guard house and showed his cre
dentials in the usual manner.
Everyone took a look at them
1 but that was all. Regulations
required, he was told, a pass.
But at other places his cre
dentials were all . . . Neverthe
less, he was told, regulations . . .
So it came to pass that he
came back to town and got a
pass and passed out through the
guardhouse.
A youth of the fir«t grade ex
plained his proposition to us in a
cafe the other night like this, as
I he was trying to get to see a
movie:
“You give me a quarter ’ lie
said very seriously with the cut
est childish gestures, “and I 11
use it and then we’ll match fur
it and if I win then I’ll keep the
quarter but if I don’t win you
get the quarter back.”
We just laughed and laughed
at the implied judgment of our
naivity (no child of six is going
to make a sucker out of us. If
we can help it.) and went to the
movie ourselves
The newsreel was no more
than over than a familiar small
figure scooted in and plunked in
the seat in front of us and turn
ed around. He was waving some
thing in his fist that gleamed in
the pale light of the cinema.
"See,” he said and there was
a world of I-told-you-so in his
voice, “I got enough for the
show and I got this much left
over!”
Hm. Let’s see noyw. If I give
you a dollar we’ll flip for it and
if we win you owe us a dollar
and if you lose you give the
dollar back
Excuse us. We’re going out to
find whoever it was our young
genius found.
