Lnyway, he just got the letter
| when swoosh! A big package
Christmas mats arrived on the

Ithisa end of $9.44.
The last we heard the editor
i muttering something about
Oklahomans probably hear
l about short seasons in Alaska
deducing Christmas came
out September 25.
Speaking of Christmas, one of
local merchants had a lady
bis storeroom this week and
saw a box of Christmas
Irds. She asked to see some
ore, so he carried 2 or 3 boxes
the store. While she was
bkisg them over a couple of
Iher ladies saw them and also
lose some Result—$30 in sale
Christmas cards.
Last night we looked into said
lore, and there are Christmas
Irds out on the counter! We be
eve this display of Christmas
Irds in August sets something
a record.
Speaking of Christmas, we wish

Not only did Kodiak make the
cord of having the first sale of
1946 car in Alaska (Dr. A.
olmes Johnson’s Ford, from
le Kodiak Mercantile) but this
eek we record the first accident
e have heard of to a 1946 car
^awrence K. Wodlinger’s 1946
lymouth, from O. Kraft & Son).
On Monday Lairy had the
ristine Plymouth parked by the I
ost office, across from which is
ie Tngura Transit system bus
spair shop.
Larry got into his car to back
ut, from his parking place,
lanced to the rear aDd no one
ras there.
At the same time a bus driver
tarted to leave, glanced to the
ear and no one was there.
So both of them backed up
ind both of them were there.
Damage to the Plynaourh—a
•roken tail light and a dent in
he right rear fender.
We a«ked Larry what damage
he e was to the bus. He said he
mdn’t even look.
A local merchant, who is a
nfcnaber of the Rotary club of
Kodiak, was working about his
■store recently, looking for op
portunities to serve above self,
when a customer walked in.
“Are you a member of the Ro
lary club?” the customer asked
the merchant.
“Yes,” the businessman re
plied.
‘‘Someone told me you were,”
the customer continued, ‘ and I
was wondering if you could do
something for me. I’ve got a pa
per here that has to have a Ro
tary seal put on it.”
Tiie merchant looked and it
was a document the customer
had filled out that required not
arization. So the merchant rec
ommended a notary public and
sent him on his way.
