Hobby Show?
Because of the lack of time necessary for preparation
and a large and willing group of workers, the annual fall
flower show has been called off this year.
To replace the flower show, and give Kodiakians some
idea of what their tellow citizens do in their spare time, be
sides gardening, the MIRROR suggests that some group
sponsor a Kodiak Hobby Show.
The town is full of persons who have interesting hob
bies and collections: there are women who knit and do fancy
needlework, who paint in oils and water colors, there are men
who make model trains and planes and collect stamps; there
are those who collect coins and wild flowers, and guns. These
are just a few common hobbies. Who has a more unusual one?
We give you the suggestion, and will publicize such an
event for all it is worth. What group or individuals will step
forward to carry out the idea?
