BLUEPRINT FOR REFRESHMENT
Planning a home, these days, is a lot
of fun. But it’s pretty strenuous, too. So,
after a "hot” debate on room layouts and
color schemes... have some ACME handy
for delicious, sparkling refreshment!

Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
The Atholers, dating back to
1735, would probably burn to a
crisp;
But sweet reason rules the
KEA more. They are simply go
ing to cancel the check and send
a postal money order for the a
mount. It might be well to in
clude with it an affidavit from
Postmaster Briggs attesting that
U S Postal Money Orders in
Alaska are backed by U S funds.
In fact, we often see the post
master depositing said funds in
the foreign Bank of Kodiak.
And if the KEA will use it as
a second enclosure, we will fur
nish a copy of this item gratis.
When the Kotary club spon
sored, on behalf of the citizens
of Kodiak, the gift of a half
mounted Kodiak bear to be
placed aboard the S S Kodiak,
named after our city, we used to
wonder what would become of
the bear.
The huge animal, killed by
Harry Christopherson and Pat
Cannon, was a problem to those
aboard ship, because there was
no place big enough for it. It
was finally plaeed in a compan
ionway, where one horny paw
proved a danger to hurrying sea
men and had to be encased in a
protective bag. The paw, not the
seaman. Thus did the bear trav
el during the war years, as the]
Kodiak Victory carried vital war
cargoes to ports in the South Pa
cific.
Now the Kodiak Victory has
been sold, and we presume the
bear goes with the ship, ben
Kraft tells us he read in his air
mail edition of the Seattle PI
that the Maritime Commission
has sold the vessel to a trading
company operating in Argentina.
Ironically, Argentina includes
| bo bears of any kind among its
i fauna. So they should appreci
ate the Kodiak sample.
Speaking of bears, a call has
been issued from Seattle tor the
I Cleveland zoo to have a foot
doctor on hand when the 3 bear
| cubs from Kodiak arrive in
Cleveland.
1 According to Associated Pressf
j the bears, “appealing bored by
travel and confinement, armed
in Seattle from Kodiak island by
boat and stopped over at Seat
tle’s zoo for a ‘breather'.”
C F. Brad but y, zoo keeper,
said the cubs’ feet were bleeding
from pacing back and forth in
their wooden cages.
