Former Kodiak Girl In California
An honor that would delight
the heart of any teenager will* be
given a former Kodiak girl when
she heads a hig parade in a Cali
fornia city on the 4th of July, as
Alaska’s Queen.
She is Linda Koch, a 16 year
old girl who spent many years of
her life here. Theme of the pa
rade and celebration is “Welcome,
Alaska.” High honors will go to
all the queens from each of the
49, but highest of all will go to
Linda representing the newest.
Eor July 4 will be the official
date for the unfurling of the 49
star flag, signifying Alaska’s ad
mission into the Union.
Linda is the daughter of Elinor
and Bud Koch, former residents
here. Bud was in business here,
as a partner in the Kodiak Bak
ery, which since became La
Lande’s and later Naugbton’s
Bakery. The Kochs left for Cali
fornia in the fall of 1955.
Born in Fairbanks, Linda recei
ved her grade school education
here and attended her first year
in high school.
During those years she join
ed in the activities offered such
as girl scouting and the Baptist
Church camp on Long Island.
Living in a bigger city as she
does now has not replaced her
memory of Kodiak. Asked what
she Remembered about Kodiak
brought out many memories of
highlighted events of the past,
such as climbing Pillar Mountain;
walking on the beaches; July 4
celebration here with the parade,
boat races, horse races, the mara
thon races; picking salmon berries
—her memory of these summed
ap: “Delicious!” Then there was

YOUR DOG AND THE NEW
BABY
By Bob Bartos
Prominent Dog Authority
If you have a dog that's been
cock of the roost since puppy
hood and a baby is due to ar
rive in your home, you’ll want
your pet to approve of this tiny
addition. How you handle the
situation during the first few
days will determine to a great
extent the future relationship
between the pair.
First and foremost, be par
ticularly considerate of Fido’s
feelings. Snub him, cut down on
the amount of attention he’s
used to getting and he may
form a permanent resentment
towards the baby.
Here’s a plan of procedure.
When the infant is first brought
home, don’t forget that your dog
hasn’t seen you in several days.
He’ll want to let you know how
happy he is to have you back.
So place the baby in the crib
and then get down to Fido's
level and let him give you the
full welcoming treatment. Let
him know how happy you are to
see him, too.
Next step is to introduce him
to the newcomer. Sit down with
the baby in your arms and let
him investigate the source of
the new sounds and scent Don’t
rush him or force him into the
meeting. Let him do it in his
own sweet time.
And try to stick to your dog’s
regular dining and airing sched
ule. If the baby’s feeding de
mands, make you forget about
Fido’s fare, he's apt to feel for
gotten. ...

Summing up her impressions of
those formative years while here,
she remembers the friendliness of
the people of Kodiak in particular.
Queens from’ all the other 48
states will be in the parade. The
high honor in selecting Linda as
Alaska’s Queen places Kodiak in
the spotlight. Plans are afoot
here to mark the occasion with
fitting recognition. She will be ac

gain in publicity. Tentative plans
are to have the Queen’s car, a

with the king crab displayed
prominently and the Queen seated
on a mound of forget-me-nots,
Alaska’s flower.

ITS CLASS IN MOBILGAS ECONOMY RUN!
OTHERS TALK CCONOMY
PLYMOUTH DELIVERS IT!
Other cars have talked economy this year. But a Plymouth V-8 has just proved it can give better
gas mileage than Ford or Chevrolet V-8s. Plymouth did it by winning its class for the 3rd straight
year in America’s recognized competitive test for economy. Plymouth’s score: 21.15 miles pergallon.
H HERE ARE MOBILGAS ECONOMY RUN FACTS:
■ A Plymouth V-8 has just won its class in the Mobilgas
Economy Run for the third year in a row. Ford and
Chevrolet both finished behind Plymouth.
■ Plymouth scored 21. IS miles per gallon.
• Winning Plymouth was a Belvedere 2-door hardtop,
equipped with standard Fury V-800 engine and auto
matic transmission.
• Run was sanctioned by United States Auto Club.
HERE ARE WHAT THESE FACTS MEAN TO YOU:'
■ As a Plymouth owner, you can expect economical
operation in everyday driving.
■ As a Plymouth owner, you're driving the car that'
gave better gas mileage than Ford or Chevrolet in the
1959 Mobilgas Economy Run.
■ As a Plymouth owner, you can also expect top per-)
formance (Plymouth’s winning V-8 is the biggest stand-;
ard engine in its class).
Plymouth’s low prices, low upkeep, high resale value and proven gas economy make it the year’s
best economy buy in its class. And Plymouth delivers the Big Difference in style, ride, perform
ance, features and comfort, too! A “Two-Mile Try-Out” will prove it, so take yours today!
