STRICTLY BUSINESS

“Of course it’s just temporary until the company gets a new
wing on the office building.”
Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 2)
Food rationing impressed us
similarly. We didn’t bother to
get ration books, as homes we
visited had more than enough
points. Restaurants offered ev
erything on the menus, the only
restrictions being steakless day
and “don’t ask for more than
one pat of butter”. Sugar was
not plentiful enough to allow a
lot of home baking nor did there
seem to be enough for home can
ning.
In restaurants we ate such
things as prime ribs of beef au
jus, frog legs, kidneys saute,
sweetbreads, Olympia oysters,
razor clams, little neck clams,
fruit salads containing melon,
banana and pineapple. Chinese
dishes, Italian dishes; catsup was
in evidence at most restaurants
and after you knew the waitress
you got extra butter. You’d nev
er know there was a war on to
read a menu.
Train traval was not pleasur
able. Old cars are in use, with no
air conditioning, seats designed
to accommodate a bustle, and a
porter just couldn’t seem to get
the gas chandeliers to work At
no matter what time there is al
ways a line up at ticket windows
and at station doors. Most trains
have standees and buses were al
ways packed to the limit
Going to Victoria, B. C. by
boat we stood 45 minutes in line
as the boat was held up to allow
one man to sell tickets to 800
people.
Over almost every ticket win
dow is a large sign, asking “Is
your trip necessary?'’
Main street presented a num
ber of changes on our return
New places include Kizer’s
Smoke Shop in the former Dell
building; the Yum Yum eat shop
in the new Torgramson building
next to the Lyric theatre; the
Casino restaurant in the Blinn
residence across from the Ship’s
Tavern; and a new photoshop,
Mrs. W. J. Wheeldon’s, in the
former C. Blankenburg office
building.
Alaska Steamship offices have
moved from next to Wodlinger’s
drug store to the Bank of Kodi
ak building, where they were lo
cated before. Jim Pierce has
leased the Ship’s Tavern and Os
car Breedman has taken over
Sally’s T.iquor store. The Orph
eum theatre has a remodeled
lobby.
A most noticeable addition is
the new paint jobs on various
business facades. New arrivals,
walking down main street on a
sunny day will think they are in
a colorful Mediterranean town.
For a sample the color scheme
runs like this: (main color first,
trim second)—Log Waffle, brown
& green; Pajoman bldg , white
& green; Art & Anne’s, orange
& green; Sally’s Liquor store
green & black; Ship’s, cream Jc
blue; Kodiak Cleaners, tan &
brown; Orpheum, tan & gray,
blue & red.
It needs Technicolor to do it
justice.
The beard we might add, stood
the trip pretty well, considering
the attention it got
The first day in Seattle we
thought our face was dirty until
we began hearing the remarks
that indicated otherwise; women
would grab their small fry and
yell ‘ look at the man with the
whiskers”; bigger children would
yell something about “Santa
Claus”; people going by in cars
and buses would break right out
laughing; thousands of people
would wet their finger, smack
their hand and yell “beaver”—
joining into the spirit of the
thing we would yell “beaver” in
unison with them.
A plethora of remarks were
made about the House of David,
baseball, and Monty Woolley,
In Caldwell, Idaho a girl went
through the finger-wetting, hand
smacking business and yelled
“badger”. She almost died with
embarassment when her friends
