then across the street to other
friends to be a baby sitter while
the parents went to the open
house, which turned out to be a
good stroke of business for them,
as the mother had gotten a pair
of alligator shoes that didn’t fit
and sold them at the open house.
Then finding Mabel Fenner
wandering around lose we took
her home to show hei our Christ
mas tree Rushing up to*the big
gest nicest ornament on the tree
Mabel exclaimed “isn’t that
beautiful” and touched it with
her finger, at which it came lose
and fell to the floor in dozens of
pieces. After taking Mabel home
pronto we went back to the tree
and opened gifts.
On Christmas day we rustled
wood and Goal for two fireplaces
at the Blankenburg menage,
where dinner for a bunch and
open house later was scheduled.
The dinner was ample, consist
ing of 2 turkeys, one with oyster
dressing, sweet and Irish pota
toes, giblet gravy, fresh frozen
spinach, peas, fresh fruit salad,
with homemade fruitcake and
Christmas cookies served with
the coffee, all by the light of red
candles and dickering fireside
glow.
After dinner people began
dropping in, some to sample Tom
and Jerrys and visit with much
corniness of jokes and fun under
the mistletoe and Christmas
music on piano and phonograph
until many tired hours later.
Days later, when the last of
turkey had disappeared smoth
ered in noodles, ye old New
Tear’s came.
Sailors were given all night
eave and there was a big dance
it the base, from whi ch some
vere not home at 7 the next
norning, although the dance
didn't last that long.
The Firemen’s ball was at
Slinn’s, but the crowd wasn’t so
jig and they didn’t, use the
Community Center for an annex
is they had planned. Sue Scran
,on and Paul Swanson and Joe
deitman played the music. At
.he Montmartre the Veterans of
foreign Wars took over the club
ifficia'ly at midnight with an
>pen house, and revellers from
he dance went there and to the
Beachcombers after the dance
At midnight the fire siren did
n’t blow as it hasn’t since the
time it did blow during the fire
men’s ball and nobody paid any
1 attention, and a home was really
burning down! But the school
bells rang and somebody shot off
a lot of firecrackers We drank a
toast and then joined in sing
ing “Auld Lange Syne” in the
key of F
The next morning we awoke to
more firecrackers and came down
town where the first thing we
saw was a civilian sitting on a
| stoop with window glass arouna
him and blood pouring from his
face and did watch the cops es
cort him away.
We had our coffee and then
the day flew as all days do in
Kodiak and at 4 o’clock the
bright blue sky began darkening
with day’s end and the sun set
right across St. Paul’s harbor,
casting a pink glow over the bare
brown hills aud the snow cover
ed tips of the range of mountains
far to the south. Toward the
east a rift of rippling clouds arch
ed toward the north in a solitary
band, catching the rays of the
dying sun in a concentrated
splurge of color, against which
barren trees appeared cold and
forlorn.
It was 1947 minus one, now,
and time to shake the spell of
the holidays and get back to the
banal, return to the routine and
and resume the rote
But even a« the sun disappear
jed another flrecracker went off,
and another, each sound echoing
the reluctance of the spirit to
adjust from the mood of holiday
expectancy to the doldrums of
the days of subsequense.
Ain’t you green yet, Lucy?
