DIARY ...
Note to Democrats—Celebrate
your victory—Buy War Bonds!
Dr. Eugene Sullivan, local
dentist, fought in France in the
last war and so follows with ut
most interest the news from that
sector of war during the current
conflict. From his hometown
paper, (Minneapolis) he clipped
J the following for us. It is one
' vivid sample of the feelings in
that country:
“To a congregation made up
largely of people who had spent
the previous night fighting the
Germans behind barricades, a
clergyman preached as follows:
‘There is one thing that we
must not forget right now; that
this war is not ended. It is not
enough to win a victory. We
saw that in 1918. What remains
to be done is to kill every Ger
man.
‘It often happens that, when
a war ha^ been won and victory
been assured, our minds soften.
Let us pray God to have the
strength and courage to go on to
the end. Every bullet must kill
its Boche, every bomb must find
its target. There must be no dis
I tinction between soldiers and civ
ilians in the destruction of men,
women and children. For we
speak of a damned race.
T know that, when 1 speak as
I do, I preserve the spirit of the
Bible—at least of the Bible that
is read from beginning to end
and not only in its soft and
gentle passages because God is
as terrible toward the evil as He
is kind toward the good and
humble.
‘Let us therefore pray to God
to exercise his severity against
this people, to send it disasters
and floods worse than anything
until now; punishments moie
terrible than the 10 plagues of
Egypt. Let their towns be more
' completely destroyed than
Jerusalem. The object is to finish
for all time with those whom,
mindful of certain passages in
the Holy Bible, I may rightly
call the damned Boche, the
damned swinish Boche. So be it ’
“Although it was a church,
the congregation applauded.”
You remember we told you
about Bob Korn, mayor of Cor
dova and owner of the Imperial
in that city, wiring Bob Lunday,
manager of the Orpheum and
Former owner of the Imperial,
For the combination to the safe,
ifter several year’s use of said
safe.
0. A. Torgerson, who just re
turned from Anchorage for a
jury session, met Beb Korn,
who was also there for the jury
session, and Korn told Torger
son that the combination wired
to him by Lunday was not the
right one.
The safe, Korn said, was still
locked.
If we were a teacher and a
student came to school late with
the excuse that she ‘‘had to stop
to find someone to kill an injur
ed pigeon” we are sure we would
raise a very skeptic eyebrow.
Like this^'.
But that was the story last
week of Gail Blankenburg, 7th
grade student.
On her way to school she hap
pened along just in time to see
a local truck hit a pigeon in the
road across from H. Pinch’s.
The pigeon began flopping about
the street, badly injured.
Gail began looking for some
one to do something about it and
finally found Bill Fitzgerald
(there weren't many about, as
this was before nine o’clock).
Bill came to the rescue and put
the pigeon out of its misery and
Gail proceeded late to school. It
was the first time in her school
career, both Outside and during
three years at Kodiak, that she
had ever been tardy.
We might suggest, in view of
emergencies that might arise,
that Gail should be more of an
early bird, but that wouldn’t be
putting it so well, considering
what happened to the pigeon.
Mail over-flowed into the
lobby of the post office this week
when over 300 sacks arrived on
a boat the first of the week. The
15,000 pounds of it would seem
to indicate Christmas might be
in the offing.
Just imagine a reverse flow of
mail from all Alaska to Seattle,
plus Seattle’s usual Christmas
nail, plus the APO mail going
