Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 8)
Dolly Olson, former Kodiak
girl, is one of tne contestants in
a queen contest being conducted
in Blaine, Wash.
Dolly is a junior in high school
there, and she wrote to her sist
er, Mrs Tom Nachand, of this
sity, and sent along a batch of
votes to be sold at 5 sents each
She should have sent, more
votes, because they are all sold,
which shows how the 1 >sal peop
le are willing to root for a leenl
girl in the Outside.
The contest ends this month,
and along with others we will be
eagerly awaiting the result*.
One of ©ur local eateries put s
sign up the otfler day that brag

1 Tbe way mail sometimes gets
missent is a mystery, sometimes
provoking and somwtimeB funny.
One of our letters arrived in
Kodiak, T. A. practically Bun
burned, mi6sent to Honolulu, T.
H.
| At least it went to a Territory
in a similar latitude so you have
to allow a little latitude for that.
Another letter arrived after a
long vacation marked misseni '<■
South Bind, Ind. We once lived
in South Bend, Wn. so we can
gee where that confusion migh'
arise.
More later a letter from Sur
plus Property in Anchorage, dat
, ed Nov. 27 and mailed the same
month was missent to the NOB,
| Kodiak„ was postmarked there1
on Dec. 30 and we got it en Jau
14. We’re glad it wasn’t a matter
of life or death or we’d have had
to hold a post-iiioilem when it
got here.
And as for funny ones, a local
<husband is getting a big laugh
j out of one that occurred this
week.
The husband’s wife is a mem
ber of the Business and Profes
sional Women’s club, and as
such has a subscription to the
'club’s national magazine, the
‘ Independent Woman ”
Her copy, plainly addressed to
Kodiak, Alaska, arrived her# af
ter some delay. Reason—it wac
missent to Leavenworth, Kansas
Now you don’t have to look it
up on page 504 of the World Al
manac to know that Leavenworth
is one of the large federal prisons.
And the husband isn’t lettmg
the wife forget it.
A man on the way to the hos
liital to visit his wife recently
stopped at a liquor store for a
calendar to take with him
On the calendar was a charm
ing picture of a tow-headed
child praying in four colo/s
One of Sisters at the hospital
saw the picture and admired i
verv much, so the man said
would get another for the Ssters
tin bis next trip hespital-ward
lie stopped at the store and got
another calendar, m ite *»iain
paper envelope, and striving a
the hospital handed it to th
Sister
The Sister opened it and was
somewhat taken aback In her
hand was a different picture en
tirely
It was a feminine figure ai-o in
four colors, and nothing else
We don’t know who wa the
more embarrassed hut we think
H was Boh Hightower.
Realising now that calendars
tome with more than one km 1 of
a pictme od them, we assume
Bob will peek into the plain en
velopes after this.
