DIARY ...
Hearing that Public Health
Nurse Marion Curtis was leav
ing on her vacation, a group of
friends began a spontaneous col
lection of funds so she could pur
chase an airplane ticket both
ways, considering that the rail
road strike was on at the time.
Over $700 was forthcoming
and presen (ed to her before she
left Sunday enroute to Minne
sota.
The following note was receiv
ed from Miss Curtis in the mail
box Monday, and we print it
just as received, as her “thank
you”:
Dear Editor:
Have just received the over
whelming gift of a de luxe vaca
tion from many friends in Kod
iak. I'm positive that nothing
this nice ever happened to any
other nurse in Alaska—all of
which goes to prove my personal
conviction that Kodiak is a uai
que spot.
There naturally ain’t words to
tell how I feel about this but I
wish you’d run a line in the Di
ary or somewhere to say that I
do appreciate it. I’m accepting
in the spirit in which it was giv
en and I assure you that I will
have a truly wonderfnl time.
Save me a copy of each and
every Mirror while I’m gone—
pile ’em in the tool shed or some
where and I’ll collect on return
Sincerely,
Marion Curtis
I. We’ll save the Mirrors for

3. We’re planning a vacation
in 1948.
Some boys, playing around one
of our local beaches, recently
found a cache of 3 bottles of
drinking whiskey.
After much discussion as to
what to do with it, they carted
it to the home of one of the boys.
The boy’s mother, being a
practical soul, had a suggestion.
Why not take a bottle down to
the place of business where fath
er was working, as father had a
bad cold and the medicinal prop
erties might help him. (Having
never known the father to take
a drink we can vouch for the
authenticity of the mother’s sug ■
gestion. In this case.) '
Son took the bottle and went
down to papa with it.
We can imagine papa’s eyes
gleaming as he pictured the little
cold bugs reeling into oblivion
from the effects of too much al
cohol. Papa took a big swig.
Papa expectorated violently.
Some one must have emptied
the bottle, refilled it with not
whiskey, and sealed it so it look
ed like it had never been opened
iYe saw papa shortly after
ward and although he looked (
worse the cold looked better.
You’re in a better position to
ask him what the cold iemedy
was than we are because if we i
did he wouldn’t want us to print
this.
The other day the boy from
the Signal Corps went over to
Marshal Paul Herring’s to tell
him that Washington, D. C. was
calling him longdistance.
Thinking it was something a
bout the new jail, Paul was not
too surprised but when he went
over and got his connection it
wasn’t that at all.
It was a Mr. Earl, represent
