Well, the businesses that have
?one have been replaced by
Dther and more permanent ones,
and we have rayon. But as we,
said at the beginning, time flies,
and it will be only a few short
years and we can look back to
this issue of the paper and notice
the changes in our way and mode
of living and see what is now
only a current event with the
perspective that historical dis
tance gives it. In fact, 4 years
from now, perhaps we’ll go ?
come ? back to this issue and
reminisce in the same vein.
It might be even more interest
ing. So stick around.
If the gentleman on the island
of Attu, who wrote to a friend in
Kodiak asking said friend to go
down to one of the local beaches
and look for his (the gentleman
on Attu) false teeth, will contact
the Mirror office, we may be
able to arrange a transaction to
the mutual satisfaction of both
parties concerned.
And we promise to make no
biting remarks.
