Former Kodiak Women Organize Club
In Seattle To Talk of ‘Home'
“Little Kodiak” might well be
the name of a newly organized
women’s club in Seattle, which
consists of about forty women
who recently moved from
the base to the Washington city.
AM wives of civilians, the women
met in a down town tea shop for
their first meeting and talked
mostly about “home.”
“We're a bore to every friend
here,” explained Mrs. H. G.
Beales, one of the first civilian
wives to be sent to the base and
one of the originators of the club.
‘^But with each other we can
talk all we want to about the
things we are lonesome for. Each
of us knows the other is missing
her husband, too. There is no
need to explain,” she added.
First official action of the
group was to buy a gift for Mrs.
R. Harold Reider who gave birth
to a child shortly after the trip
down.
The women plan to meet once
a' week and to do Red Cross
work for the boys at the base
and also to fix up things for their
own men folks. Every woman
who has interests at the base,
including those who have never
been to Kodiak, will be invited
to join the club. Those living too
far from Seattle to attend meet
ings will Ire put on a mailing list
wid will receive weekly cards
from the club.
Every Tuesday at 2 p. m. the
Nursing Committee of the Hos
pital Guild meets at the hospital
to work on bandages, dressings
and hospital supplies. All wom
en willing to assist are invited to
attend

A CHEECHAKO
CHATTERS
We like Velma Ameling’s new
outfit which she brought in from
the outside recently. A red sweat
er, trimmed with gay colored em
broidered flowers, brass buttons
and blue crocheting, adds sparkle
to her chic blue, pleated skirt.
Mr3. Alvin Sumerlin is an
other one of those who has a
smart white raincoat. How she
keeps it so spotlessly white is a
mystery.
A preview glimpse into the
new Kodiak Library has us won
dering how Kodiak women can
tear themselves away from suck
a grand selection of books to re
turn to the prosaic world of
three-squares a day.
Red seems to be predominating
Kodiak streets these days. Have
you seen Mrs. Vic Mathews’
bright plaid skirt in red, yellow
and black? A matching jacket in
red completes her ensemble.
Miss Lois Cook left recently
for her home in Seattle after an
extended visit with Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Henton. While in Kodiak
she was employed by the Mirror.
