Chamber Starts Work On Cold Storage Plant

Members of the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary club in the joint meeting Monday
 eId a round- table discussion on the subject of cold storage plant for Kodiak. R H. Chad wick, chairman of the Rotary Post War Planning committee presented ma al and letters he had on the subject and ways md means of obtaining such 8 project were discussed.
 On Thursday night a special meeting of the Chamber of Coms merce was called and anew pres- ideDt was named to replace l.. P. Nachtweih, who resigned that position.
 MT. Nachtweih's letter of re signation said:
 "I have found it impossible to secure attendance at meetings and boards appointed have not fulfilled their duties, therefore ! feel that without this necessary cooperation chamber of con- merce cannot operate in Kodiak.
 However, you may depend on my financial support of such an organization, if and when chamber operates to the benefit of the community"
 Paul Johnson also rendered his resignation as secretary-treas- urer. After nominations and bal loting Warren A. Taylor was elected president and Howard L, Keeler as secretary-treasurer to fill out the unexpired terms.
 The new president appointed R. H. Chadwick, Lee Bettinger and E. G Marine as a special h. dustries Committee to further investigate and negotiate for ob- taining 8 cold storage plant. The meeting was then thrown open for discussion of cold storage.

To the Editor of The Star:

~~<N~~ ~
New Year Day is a very different
day now from what it was in the
1870s and 1880s. 1t was, in that
period, the busiest, gayest and most
colorful of days.
The President and his wife at II
am. received the diplomatic corps,
all of whom were in elaborate uni
form, after which the Secretary of
State entertained the diplomatic
corps at breakfast. The President
then received the Supreme Court,
judges of our local bench, Army and
Navy and then the public.
I recall that twice the reception
at the White House was closed on
New Year Day, once when the
daughter of the Secretary of State
died suddenly the night before, and
again when a foreign minister, l
think from Haiti, dropped dead in
the White House just before being
received. The reception was sus-
pended at once.
The public stood in line for hours
waiting to be received, often in bit
ter cold weather. The greatest
crowds attended these receptions
during Mr.. Cleveland's time, as his
wife was young, handsome and very
popular. In the afternoon the ladies
of the cabinet, of the Supreme Court
and the wife of the General of the
Army and the Admiral of the Navy
also had open house.
In addition, hundreds of homes of
citizens were open to callers, con-
fined in those days to men. The
ladies called, but many assisted at
the homes of their friends. Men
dubbed together and hired hack
and made calls all afternoon. Those
not receiving hung a basket for cards
on their door bells, which were al
ways filled. The collation. in each
house was elaborate. Bowls made
of ice, filled with raw. oysters, tur-
key, Virginia ham. often sucking
pig, lacquered, with a red apple in
its mouth, and always plenty to
drink, egg-nog and punch.
Mrs. Ricketts,, who lived on G
street between Nineteenth and |
Twentieth streets NV, had one of
the largest receptions. She had the
prominent debutantes assisting, and
fishhouse punch, for which she was
justly celebrated. You could smell
it at the foot of the long steps to
her house. One slippery New Year
afternoon late, met one of the men
about town skating down the mid
die of the street. He was very
happy and was carrying a bundle.
Upon inquiring what he was carry
ing, he answered, Mrs. gave
me the head of her pig"
Among the many amusing things I
remember was seeing an officer in full
uniform who had made many calls
and imbibed without discretion, help
ing himself, or trying to help him
self, to some raw oysters. His plate
was at dangerous angle, and he

troops yet to be contacted. Then he
added:
I'VE must accept the casualties
which are bound to come and forge
steel from our grief. We must learn
to expect setbacks which may seem
more serious than anything we have
thus far known, and still not falter
on the road to eventual victory.
In his statement, the President
said:
Many of us in the United States
are observing this first day of the
new year as a day of prayer and re-
Fiction and are considering the
deeper issues which affect us as part
of the family of nations at a crucial
moment in history. 1t is fitting on
this day that we direct our thoughts
to the concept of the United Nations
which came into being on another
and infinitely bleaker New Year day
two years ago.
1T was but three weeks after
Pearl Harbor that the declaration
by United Nations was promulgated
at Washington. Twenty-six nations
subscribed Immediately, eight more
have adhered subsequently, all
pledging themselves to stand to-
gether in the struggle against COM
mon enemies.
1.-TWO years ago the United Ma
lions were on the defensive in every
part of the world. Today we are on
the offensive. The walls are closing
in remorselessly on our enemies
Our armed forces are gathering for
new and greater assaults which will
bring about the downfall OF the
Axis aggressors.
1.-THE United Nations are giving
attention also to the different kind
of struggle which must follow the
military phase, the struggle against
disease, malnutrition, unemploy-
ment and many other forms of eco
nomic and social distress.
ITO make all of us secure against
future aggression and to open the
way for enhanced well-being of ma
tons and individuals everywhere,
we must maintain in the peace to
come the mutually beneficial CO.
operation we have achieved in war.
"On the threshold of the new
year, as we look forward toward
the tremendous tasks ahead, let us
pledge ourselves that this co-opera-
ton shall continue both for winning
the final victory on the battlefield
and for establishing an information
al organization of all peace-loving
nations to maintain peace and Sc
curity in generations to come"
