Kodiak Diary

is but so you will notice it is a
pun. Do you like that kine, too?)
Anyway, Jack admits to send
ing the picture, claims his cap- J
tion made no such faux pas, and !
exclaimed when he saw it “Give
an editor half a chance and
they’ll do it every time.”
Jack Allman, an ex-editor,
should know.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Brophy,
formerly of Kodiak (Mr. Brophy
' managed the Kodiak Cash Mar
i' ket) sent, us a beautiful booklet
from where they are now located
in sunny Arizona. Illustrated
with gorgeous full-color pictures,
it invites one to spend Christmas
in Arizona. After looking at the
pictures of cacti, and date trees,
and orange trees and lush lawns
and beautiful gardens, (if mem
ory serves there were some pretty
i girls scattered in the scenery the
| little woman reads this) we bard
| ly got the Christmas spirit. But
then the booklet neatly explains
that away, “Christmas in An
, zona,’’ it says, “occurs in a sim
ilar setting and climate to that
of the birthplace of Christmas ”
Aiizona, we can see, has learned
j the technique from its neighbor.
'Cali ornia. You can’t b°at their
chambers of commerce.
But maybe we could. “Kod
iak” we could say, “is near the
I home of Santa Claus.” And
then we could stress, with truth,
that Christmas is almost never
over in Ivristmasy Kodiak.
This year is a good example
In November the first. Christmas
gifts arrive, from relatives who
want to be sure to get them here
in time so you’ll know you’re
getting a gift and can retaliate
As many people are the kind
who don’t know a negative whei
they see one in “Do Not Open
tJntil Chiistmas”, the gifts are
opened and Christmas begins in
i November
Then in December it is carrier,
on with great fervor as Kodiak
tans hustle and bustle and hurry
and scutry for the climactic 25th
in red ink (appropriately) on the
calendars.
Butju4 as you get on your
feet and feed again, the paper
says “Christmas Next Monday”
and Russ an Christmas is proper
ly observed.
Then, a few weeks later, that
boat arrives, like the 3 Wise
Men, bearing gifts, and it is
Christmas all over again as you
try on that sweater and attempt
to deeide what to do with a box
of beautiful real holly mailed
from Seattle Dec 12andabit,on
the droopy side after its journey
of more than a month.
And after a thorough check-up
you discover there is still one
more Christmas package coming,
which will probably, according to
the boat schedules, bring another
touch of Christmas somewhere
between Lincoln’s birthday and
Val ntine’s day
Yes, we do think the Chamber
of Commerce should consider the
matter, and we offer as a slogan
“Kodiak—Where It Is Christmas
4 Mo iths of the Year, and New
Year the Rest of the Time”, or
“Yule Love it in Kodiak”.
