Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
We wish to apologize to our
readers for missing a political
story of far-reaching import last
week. We hope to rectify mat
ters by printing the following
item:
“An informal meeting of the
Democratic Party was held in
the office pf the O. Krafr. & Son
store last week. Ben Kraft, own
et, played host and refreshments
were served by Stan Nelson,
of the grocery department.”
We are sure we can be for
given for overlooking the story.
In fact, the first Mr. Kraft knew
about it was when he came to
work that day and saw a placard

on his desk, advertising the
gathering.
Mr. Kraft, who is Republican
Committeeman for this area,
neglected to tell us about it,
either.
Lawrence K. Wodlineer, own
er of two tobacco shops with
drug departments, is known for
his habit (like anemia, pernic
ious) of constantly bumming
cigarettes.
He himself explains that he
just does it for fun, as a sort of
running gag, but psychologists
would simply say ‘defense
mechanism” and not believe it
either.
The other day A1 Miller, of
the Victory Cafe, decided to
teach Larry a lesson. Having
, obtained some of that stuff to
I be stuffed into a cigarette that
tastes and smells frightful, he
carefully prepared a cigarette,
marked it with a piece of tooth
pick so he could identify it, and
put it back in the pack until the
bum’s next rush.
However, he became busy, he
says, and forgot about it, went
to smoke and as soon as he lit
the cigarette discovered he had
the one he had doctored up.
A1 is still smoking his cigar
ettes, though So is Larry.
East and West may be a twain
that never meet but North and
South do. because a local girl,
now in the South of the U. S. A ,
writes of her experiences below
the Mason-Dixon line:
‘‘They are trying to make a
rebel out of me, but no dice.
‘You-all this — you-all that.
Everything here is yonder’. Oh,
it really is funny.
“They eat. corn bread and lots
of buttermilk. I can’t stand the
looks of it!”
And how does our girl from
the quote frozen unquote North
stand the climate of the quote
sunny unquote South? Wit
nesseth:
“I’m cold — it’s not warm
here I’ve been freezing! Think
I’ll light the fireplace and warm
up.”
Which may be why we have so
few fireplaces in Kodiak. We
1 don’t need ’em.
