Last week the MIRROR re-
ported that Mrs. Charles Graf
had gone to work at the hos
pital as a part time nurse, and
this week we carry an item
that says Mrs. Charles Graft
is working at the KEA plant.
We aren't crazy, and neither
is Mrs. Cratic wandering
from job to job. You see, there
are two Of them!
Mrs. Graft is Inez, who is
now a bookkeeper at the KEA.
Mrs. Graf is Virginia, who is
the hospital nurse. At one
time, Inez was in the upstairs
department at D and A, and
Virginia, a week laster, was
reported as being employed at
Kraft's Dry Goods depart
ment.
Both Charles Graf()s are
in the air facility of the Coast
Guard here, Inez' husband be-
ing known as "Pappy", and
Virginia's as Chuck. Both
are aviation machinists.
The confusion that once ex-
listed over the almost identical
names has been almost COM
pletely cleared up, as people
get to know all the parties,
but perhaps this will clarity it
for those who don't.
Members of the Russian
class being taught by Father
Alexander Popoff are wonder
ing among themselves how
soon the FBI will send an in
vestigator to Kodiak!
A rush order for IL Russian
primers went out to the states,
ordering the books by "ur-
gent" airmail and the students
are saying that probably the
bookseller thinks the Russians
are already here from Siberia
and we want to learn how to
get along conversationally
with them, or perhaps that we
are all learning how to be
spies! !! !!
