Kodiak Diary
(continued from Dace 3)
and the lady evidently liked
licorice, for one day she decided
to eat some of it.
She put some in her mouth
and began chewing on it and as
she chewed and savored it she
decided it didn’t taste bad at
all. Considering it was bird feed.
Her husband, however, who
was present, picked up the box
containing the feed and began
reading off it. It says here, he
told her, that it has dried flies
and ants’ eggs m it.
The lady kept on chewing, be
cause she just knew he was say
ing that just as a joke. Then he
handed her the package to read,
and that’s what it said: dried
flies and ants’ eggs were indeed
among the ingredients
Nowadays the lady does not
run to chews.
Mrs. Barbara Lange stopped
us in front of the barber shop, of
all places, and told us* Wednes
day that she had dreamed the
night before that we had shaved
off the beard.
“How’d we look after we shav
ed?” we asked, a question that
has caused us some concern.
*'Oh, I don’t remember much
except that you sure looked dif
ferent,” Mrs. Lange answered.
Which we thought was a very
nice way of putting it.
It was all very puzzling for
Oscar A. Torgerson, bank presi
dent, and chairman in charge of
the names of servicemen to ap
pear on Kodiak’s new Honor
Roll.
After the story in the Mirror
about the list, Mrs. Bessie Wal
lin dropped into the bank. “Do
you have the name Donald
Clark on the list?” she asked.
Torgie checked and it was on
the list.

Lynch dropped into the bank.
For the same purpose. And she,
too, asked if Donald Clark was
on the list. Torgie didn’t even
have to look. He told her it was.
But, he wondered, why were
they both interested in Donald
Clark? We did a little checking
and the mystery was quickly
solved.
Mrs. Wallin was interested in
her son. Donald D. Clark. Mrs.
Lynch was interested in her son,
Donald R. Clark.
So one more Donald Clark
was added to the list, as up to
then the list contained only one.
Donald D,, who formerly liv
ed here with his mother and sis
ter, Mrs Jeannette Bailey, wrote
home from Belgium this week.
It is one of the most interesting
insights into the war from a lo
cal boy that we have seen. He
says:
Our unit ( an Engineers bat
talion) has been in Belgium
for almost a week. It is quite a
bit like France. The people for
the most part speak French and
the country is the same except
we see mote towns with wider
streets and the stores and other
buildings are more modern struc
tures.
The little flag I’m enclosing is
a symbol that all the people
wear. (A cloth, small in size,
bearing the flag colors.) You ov
er there can only imagine the ap
preciation and happiness that
these people show to Yanks af
ter 4 years of Hitler and his
gang They are free at last to
live as they did before. Their
happiness you feel in their cheers
and smiles of welcome and their
display of Allied colors. On every
street in every town, on every
farm and house in the country
side, it looks like Flag Day back
home—only more colors, cheers
and tears—tears of gladness. It
makes you feel proud and happy
for them. What will it be like
when the Armistice is signed? I
only wish that both Axis powers
would sign at once—and soon!
You know, this outfit has had
its share of work. It is claimed
to be the most bombed and
shelled battalion over here. But
1 think they all have their share.
And those infantry and armor
outfits, tanks, TD's, (tank des
troyers) they’ve surely had plen
ty. I wish I had their guts. I
surely take off my hat (or hel
met, rather) to them.
I get all your pictures out just
to look and wish It’s been bet
ter than a year and 10 months
since 1 saw you all last—and
Margaret (Mrs. Jeanette Bailey’s
daughter, two years old Wednes
day) wasn’t even 3 months old.
It’s that kind of thing, not so
much the stuff a guy takes over
here, that makes him want to get
it over and go home.
Have you entered your guess
in the Mirror—Free War Bond
contest?
Eisenhower said this week that
the war with Germany will carry
on into winter.
And if you've been wondering
