Thanksgiving' Day at K. B. O.
Thanksgiving day was a bluster
ing day, outside. There was a west
erly wind blow ing and that means a
very chilly wind in winter in Alaska.
Inside, at the K.ll.O. however, all
was serein*. In the air was a aeent of
preparation for what the small boys
call “ bi,* e^ts " and a sense of hungry
hopefulness that the preparation
might be completed in time.
An appropriate Thanksgiving ser
vice was held in ttie assembly room
just before dinner. Konst pig t«•«>k
the place of turkey as the heavy part
of the meal and if was accompanied
by the usual trimmings.
Anna Ballanogoff, who is cooking
for the mission now, whs assisted in
the kitchen by Miss Johnson, while
Pnt«*r Calugan and Phillip Olson
were the waiters. Benoit ks about
*' ample justice " are u necessary.
Skating was fine in the afternoon
which was very fortunate, consider
ing the number of helpings required
to satisfy the holiday appetites.
Mr. and Mrs Folsom, their daugh
ter, Mrs. E.P.Wing, and little Mary
were,guests and spent the afternoon
at the Mission.
Dora’s and Our Misfortune
An accident to the Dora's engines
near Seldovia caused her to miss a
trip so we have had no mail this
month. It may be g<xxl discipline in
the cultivation of patience but it
causes some unpleasant interference
in holiday plant- one can become
accustomed to almost anything in
Alaska. All we can do is to make
the best ot it and make it better if we
can.
