Just the other day a 7-year- old girl got out of school and went to her home on Mission road. She was accompanied by 4 other little girls.
 She asked her mother if she could go out and play, adding that she had some other children to play with, and mother gave her permission.
 A little later one of the play mates came to the door and ask ed the mother if 1t was Susan Kue's Chats not her real namel birthday. The mother told her no.
 The mother thought no more about it until she looked out the window and saw a stream of youngsters conveIging on the house from both directions. There were about 12 children al- together, dressed up ready for a party, with many of them bear ing gifts.
 Mother had a horrible sus- picion. She ran out and accost- ed Susie.

Captain and Mrs. Johnson, who raise foxes on their island adjacent to Kodiak, recently had a windfall arrive on their island in the way of fox feed
 The foxy animals are current. ly dining on rich, delicious whale blubber, stripped from a whale washed up on the beach. In fact, there are two whales, evil dently a mother and youngster
 The large one was described as about 20 feet long and 6 to 8 feet through the beam, and the youngster is about 8 feet long
 Having been around beaches where whales have washed up before, we hope, for the sake of the Johnsons, that the foxes have voracious appetites and dis. pose of the whale in quick order.
 There will be a whale of a smell raised, if they don't.
