DIARY ...
We mentioned last week the
display of flowers in the window
of the Island Fountain and the
story behind those flowers con
tains one of the most generous
gestures we have come across
for a long time.
The making of the flowers was
the project of Mrs. John Hubley
and her daughter, Mrs Kia
Lund. Mis. Hubley has two sons
stationed at Attu; Thomas, in
the Navy, and Archie, in the
Army (Archie is home on fur
lough this week) Knowing what
a lonely place Attu is and vis
ualizing the lonely graves of our
American soldiers who died there
in the bitter fight with the Jap
anese, Mrs. Hubley thought it
would be nice to make some
flowers for those graves.
Materials were ordered from
Seattle, and since March the
women have spent every spare
moment in fashioning the almost
2000 lovely garlands of flowers,
silver leaves and gossamer rib
bon. (Mrs. Tim Chemoff and
Mrs Susie Michaelson helped,
too.)
The flowers are finished now
and on their way to Attu with
transportation furnished by
the Army, and on Memorial
Day they will bravely mark the
graves with their white crosses.
On Monday, as a final fitting
step in the flowers’ preparation,
Rev. Gregory Gleboff priest of
the local Russian Greek Ortho
dox church, went to the Hubley
home and blessed the flowers.
There will indeed be many
grateful hearts throughout the
country when those who suffer
ed the loss of their loved ones
learn how the sincere efforts of
two women in far away Kodiak
are providing such a fitting tri
bute on Memorial Day for the
heroic fallen of Attu.
With all the publicity Alaska
has been getting the last few
years some people still have a
lot to learn.
The Seattle office of the Fed
eral Public Housing authority
just tried to get a release on
some refrigeratois for new hous
ing projects that are being .built
in Fail banks and Anchorage.
The reply from the W ar rro-,
duction Board (in Njew York)
advised the FPH authorities
that “Alaska being a notoriously
cold country, electrical refriger
ators are not needed for the pre
servation of meat and veg
etables”.
So the FPH authorities had to
get the Alaska Territorial De
partment of Health to write to ’
the WPB and testify that per
ishables are preserved in Alaska
in “mechanical preservation de
vices”
We’re getting a little tired of
these w-ice ciacks about Alaska.
Pvt. Joseph Hollingsworth,
29-year-old Camp Carson sold
ier, walked into police head
quarters at Colorado Springs
this week and '‘confessed” to
Chief Bruce that he murdered
his wife last March in a Seattle
hotel room and later placed her
body in a trunk that he hid in
the brush 20 miles south of
Olympia.
But in Canton. Ohio, his
mother in-law read of the con
fession and reported to police
that she received a Mother’s
Day card from her daughter, a
22-year-old beauty shop em
ploye living in Seattle, last week.
Upon investigation, Mrs.
Hollingsworth was found to be
very much alive. She comment
ed, “fie always did get funny
ideas I feel sorrier for him than
anything else.”
Admitted Private Hollings
worth, “I wanted to die because
she is estranged from me.” Ap
parently he thought he would
be executed because of his hoax
murder story, said Police Chief
Bruce.
Hollingsworth is said to be a
veteran of 30 months of service
' on the Aleutians.
Two ladies went into a local
eating establishment the other
evening and ordered doughnuts
and demi-tasse without any
money to pay for it. Casting
their respective eyes about for a
soft touch they lit upon Jack
Allman.
Would JacK lend them $1?
Jack would, and a propos of his
police duties he kidded them a
bit about being vulnerable to a
charge of vagrancy.
