registration book that asks for
ige The simple word “legal”
will do the trick.
We would hate to see the reg
istration suffer'through any shy
ness of w -men admitting to their
age, and we couldn’t help notic
ing that a women who registered
this year is the same age as she
was when she registered three
years ago.
You can see some odd sights]
in a blizzard. Or rather we can.
3r rather we did.
The sight: A man trudging
through the snow with a big
stork under his arm. We would
rave been somewhat more start
ed than we were if we had not
•ecognized both.
The man was Charles Nett'e.
rhe stork was the big one that
itands in the baby clothes div
sion of a local department store.
We were somewhat Nettled by
he appartioin until we discovet
;d the stork had been borrowed
or decor at a baby shower.
We would suggest that when
;he bird is returned that it be
wrapped. Carrying a stark stork
tround might result in unwanted
sublicity.
Like this. Ye-*, or even like
:hat.
When Lee Bettinger, president
>f the Chamber of Commerce,

The manufacture, it seemed,
bad hail many sources of supply
cut o by the war, and was hav
n g trouble ge ting grass for
making skirts in San Francisco
for shipping to the Pacfio area
for sale as souvenirs
Mr Bettinger investigated on
liis return He found a formar
resident of the Hawaiian islands
living here, who reported to him
that the tail beach rye growing
on the island is very suitable for
grass skirts. The grass, the man
reported, is soaked in salt water
for strengthening and bleaching
purposes, then dried, and finally
woven into the garments.
What’s more the man, who
has had experience in such
weaving, has promised to get
some of the grass and weave a
skirt so the Chamber of Com
merce can send it as a sample to
the manufacturer in San Francis
co.
If this project is carried
through and it comes to pass
that dusky maidens of the trop
ics start wearing grass skirts
from Kodiak, it might be that
Kodiak will no longer be known
as the home of the brown bear,
but vice versa.
Many of the tales we recount
here do not mention names, as
it is never our intention to em
barrass anyone, but sometimes,
anonymity is no help when t,he|
parties concerned are well
known. That is why we have
been waiting for several boats to
tell this one so the protagonists
concerned would be out of our
readers’ ken.
It seems a local husband and
wife were having a great deal of
marital trouble that frequently
exploded in such violence that
the law had to be called in.
At one of these times the wife
said she wanted to divorce her
husband as she could see no oth
