KODIAK .
DIARY ...
[allowe’en was noisy enough
everyone seemed to have a
of fun and even the police
e happy as they reported “no
lage”.
'here were never so many
n windows on the main street
me time as the day after, as
ryone got out and washed off
soap and struggled, in some
>g, with wax.
)ne boy, seen with a chunk of
affin, was asked why he did
use soap instead. “Oh, that
tidn’t be enough fun”, he
j,“soap comes off too easy!”
fhe schoolhouse got it’s win
gs soaped, too, but no other
inks weie committed there,
ur brawny guards (Harry

Wright made a big batch of
homemade fudge Tor trick or
treats, and nobody called to take
advantage of it. And at another
home the people bought 2 big
bags of pineapple rolls, maple
bars, etc. and nobody showed
up either.
We got an Associated Press
wire the other day that startled
us no end as we started to read
it. It was about the naval battle
in the Philippines, but it started
out:
“One of us is nuts and it must
be me so let’s start over again.”
Could be.
Many here will remember Ru
fus Lindsey, who was formerly
employed at the naval base dur
ing construction days.
Rufus’ new address is Warner
Bros. Pictures, Inc , 4000 West
Olive Street, Burbank, Cali
fornia
In writing to have the Mirror
sent him regularly he says:
“I miss Kodiak every day and
hope to come back for a visit
after the war.
“I am, of all things, a writer
at the studio. What a way to
make a living!”
Don’t worry about that last
statement, Rufus You’ll still be
welcome in Kodiak.
The other day we met a duck
hunter on the wilds of a local
bay and asked him how many
ducks he had. Sixteen, he re
plied. What’s the limit? we ask
ed I don’t know, he said.
Maybe he ju-t didn’t think he
was good enough to exceed the
limit and so wasn’t worrying
But for his benefit, and others,
this is the limit:
Daily bag limits on ducks are
10 in the aggregate of all kinds
(must not include more than 1
wood duck) and in addition, 5i
singly or in the aggregate of
mallards, pintails or widgeons.
Any person at any time may
not possess more than 20 ducks
in the aggregate (still not to in-1
elude more than the 1 little old j
wood duck) and in addition 10;
singly or in the aggregate ofj
mallards, pintails or widgeons.
The daily bag limit on geese
and brant is 2 (not including
snow, white-front or blue geese)
or 4 blue or snow geese in ad

dition to that limit.
Mergansers have no possession |
limit but a daily bag limit of 25. 1
Personally, we aren’t interest
ed in any mergansers, but if any
duck hunter gets his 20 in the
aggregate and the additional
mallards, pintails or widgeons,
we know where he can get rid of
some so he can go out again.
We just darned near bought a
bathing suit!
After reading, that is, quite
the most interesting piece of lit
erature we ever saw sent through
the mails.
It is a catalogue for a bathing
resort supply company some
where on the east coast, U. S. A,
and it came addressed to Mana
ger, Bathing Resort, Kodiak,
Alaska.
We admire the style of the
writer who describes the mer
chandise. For instance:
Women’s bathing suits con
tinued—Believe surpassing in
elegance, anything ever pro
duced. Cost considerable but
t'emendous values
Beach balls—We should be
glad our Government shall have
the rubber to save the lives of
our beloved men and boys and
jetam the freedom God has giv-j
en to Our Beloved Country, i
When the war is over expect can j
furnish all balls wanted
Bathing caps—To secure com- j
plete satisfactions from moist- (
ure, see that all hair is inside j
cap (That one takes a little
thought.)
Children’s trunks, belts and
loops at extreme low—$3.90 (It
must be the way they wear them
nowadays.)
The slogan of the company is
‘ Wear Our Suits and Swim Like
a Fish”. As we said above, we
darned near bought a bathing
suit. But just in time we hap
pened to remember that fish
don’t wear any.
