BETA SIGMA PHI MET f
THURSDAY EVENING
4 Members of Alaska Kappa1
Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. who
have been enjoying interesting
and inspiring meetings since their
initiation last summer, were sim
ilarly pleased with their most re
cent meeting held in the home of.
their president, Mrs. James Me- j
Learn last Thursday evening.
Misses Linda Musgrave and;
Eileen Uttech presented the well-j
prepared program. Miss Uttech j
gave an informative talk on “Poise j
and Charm in the Business Wo- j
man,” bringing out how polite j
consideration for others is a fac- j
tor contributing to satisfactory re- j
lations with other people, andj
how the practice of courtesy leads j
to our own deevlopment of poise;
and charm.
Miss Musgrave chose to review
an essay from H. V. Morton’s
“London Sketches,” and develop
„ ed a fascinating word portrait of j
bridges over the picturesque and'
stirring river Thames, with a de-1
scriptive keynote from the essay
ist: “The light along its banks!
shine like a string of pearls about j
the neck of London.” Alongside
this beauty, however, as Miss j
Musgrave pointed out, there is!
manifested also a desperation
born from man’s inhumanity to j
man. “Why,” she appealed, “Must I
these things be? Surely, if we |
each eook a little more time every ;
day to spend in kindness and con
sideration of others this would
grow into a force that would
gather in momentum until finally i
it swept away the collective evils
of meanness and greed that cause
the woe and hardships of this and
every day and age!”
The “Torch Girl” for the eve
ning, Mrs. Joseph K. Hunt, cited
a recent report in the national
Sorovitv magazine, on the Inter
national Cancer Congress in Paris
the past summer, at which Dr.
Margaret A. Kelsall and Dr. Ed
ward Crabbe presented papers
based on their work at the Beta
Sigma Phi Cancer Research Foun
dation at the University of Colo
rado.
The social hour following the
evening’s program was highlight
ed by the serving of seasonal re
freshments—pumpkin pie and cof
fee—by the hostess, Mrs. McLean,
assisted by Miss Edna G. Miller.

Caterpillar Bulldozers have taken hard knocks in every
corner of the world — and some of the hardest have
been right here in Alaska and the Yukon. Experience
gained under widely varying conditions of terrain ana climate,
and on all sorts of jobs, is reflected in every inch of their de
sign and in the use of tough, high-quality steels. An 8S Bull
dozer mounted on a Caterpillar D8 Tractor as pictured above
makes a fast, easily-controlled and perfectly balanced working
unit. Caterpillar Bulldozers are available with straight or
angling blade, hydraulic or cable controlled. Inquiries are
invited.
