George Naughton, son of U.
fe. Commissioner and Mrs.
Naughton, who is stationed on
Attu, recently wiote home as
follows:
“I see (the editor of the Mir
ror) is giving a prize to the per
son who guesses when the war
will be over with Germany. He
must know lie is pretty safe—
the war will probably go on for
ever and he will never have to
pay up!”
George, thank goodness, is
just kidding.
Now that the 6th War Bond
Drive starts next week, we can
think of nothing that would be
more appropriate than having
the contest end during the
midst of it.
A lady of our acquaintance
(and of the wife’s) recently went
to the big city and writing back
of her experience said that the
first thing she did upon her ar
rival “was to don my high heel
ed shoes so I could “click” up
and down the main drag—a con
crete street and sidewalk.”
Come now, that sounds like
Kodiak hasn’t got. a place to
“click”, when quite the contrary
' is true. From the American Leg
] ion club to the Cub we are sure
1 one could get in at least 106 good
clicks Of course if trying to feet
to the bank before it closed,
which is the only thing we can
think of right off that anyone
hurries for, the number of clicks
[ might be cut in half.
\ A pre>s dispatch from New
Vork carried the amazing news
that Ray Martin swallowed a
quart of benzine by mistake but
was expected to recover.
By a strange coincidence
Kodiak’s own Ray Martin re
turned here this week. We took
a good look at him and are
happy to report that there must
be two Ray Martins in existence.
The local Ray doesn’t look
like he swallowed a QUART of
benzine.
The Red Cross is going to
wrap gifts at the Service Men’s
Center at the NAS and lias is
sued an appeal for large and
small boxes.
Here is a good chance to get
rid of those boxes you have just
been hating to throw away.
They may be turned in at the
Kodiak Fountain.

Have a “Coke” = Meet a new friend
• • *
or hoiv to relax on leave
What more friendly way to welcome a soldier to a family gathering than the
three short words: Have a “Coke". It says, We're happy you're here. And there’s
no better way to show it than to be sure you have Coca-Cola in your icebox
ready to offer its refreshing hospitality. From “down under” to back in the
U. S. A., Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,—has become the symbol
of friendly folks the world over.
BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OP THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY
“Coke”= Coca-Cola
It'# natural for popular namea
to acquire friendly abbrevia
tions. That’s why you hear
Coca-Cola called “Coke”.
