Attention Mrs. Santa Claus!
With nimble fingers, a bit of
imagination and a cardboard car
ton begged from the. grocer, you
; can make this delightful and in
* . expensive doll house to put under
*, the Christmas tree.
Begin by assembling bits of old
paper, chintz, lace and gift wrap
pings. Old magazines are a rich
' source of color material.
* *
How You Do It
Strips of jelly jar labels make
French windows that look real
anougb to open; lacy paper doilies
fashion elegant curtains. For
, Unoleum, color-pencil a pattern on
*.. geometric embossed gift paper.
Gift wrappings in small floral
pattern, are folded accordion-wise
to resemble drapes, and these are
V hung in place with Scotch tape.
V Jelly jar labels, singly, serve as
picture frames, with flowers cut
&. •
from old Christmas cards for the
pictures themselves.
If your budget doesn't stretch ;
to miniature furniture, you. can
cut out pictured furniture, in
scale, from an old home furnish
ings magazine. '
. Mechanic# of Assembling
Setting up the skeleton of the
doll house is easy. Especially suit
able is a Tide carton which pack
ages the all-purpose detergent, be
cause the box is large enough to
partition into four rooms, and yet
shallow enough for practical play.
Cut away one of the big sides of
the carton with 4 razor blade or
very sharp paring knife.
The flooring and walls are made
from the cut off front. Several
small metal angle supports out of
Dad's tool *box, can be brass
stapled to box walls to effect firm
support for flooring. Paste walls
into position.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. How-1
ard Slwooko will be saddened thisI
^holiday season due to the death of |
* -their infant son last evening. The
•\cause of death* is reported to be
^whooping cough.
Linda Joiner, nine year old
daughter of Grene Joiner of Kotze
bue arrived yesterday to spend
the holidays with her father in
Kotzebue and Nome.
NEWS IN BRIEF
SEATTLE, (JP) — Harvey G.
Brown, a bank manager at Sitka,
is convinced there are no driving
hazards like the hazards of the
home stretch.
He bought a car in Seattle sev
eral weeks ago and drove east.
Then he headed west again and
had run up more than 6000 miles
without so much as a bumped fen
der when he reached Snoqualmie
Pass. He stopped to put on chains,
less than 75 miles from 'Seattle.
Then it happened. His car was hit
twice within five minutes. First it
was sideswiped. Before he got
back into it again, another car hit
it again from the rear. He was
glad to report, however, damage
was negligible.

BOSTON, (/P)—Think hard Mr.
and Mrs. Santa Claus- Make sure
those toys you put under the
Christmas tree are for your
youngsters and not for you.
. “Adults generally purchase toys
for children a year to three years
in advance of the time they should
have them,” says Boston Univers
ity professor of education James
A. Wylie, >
A toy given too soon can spoil a
child’s interest in it, or his enjoy
ment of it when he’s physically or
mentally ready for it later.
Take roller skates, he says. “If
Junior is too young, he may have
a lot of bad spills, falls which will
make him turn to something else.”

And Feasted In
Native Norway
(Jessen’s Weekly)
Leonhard Seppala, famous pio
neer dog musher and long time
Fairbanks resident, returned to
Seattle recently from a seven
month visit to Norway which he
had left in 1900 for Alaska. He
was feted and feasted.
In mid-Atlantic, according to
the Alaska Weekly, a cable an
nounced that member so fthe Oslo
Kennel Club wished to meet him.
He was escorted to the Grand Ho
tel where the entire clud held a
reception to welcome him home.
He was made an honorary mem
ber of a half dozen organizations
—the Norwegian Kennel Club,
Sled Dog Club, Norwegian Peo
ples* First Aid Club, Trekkhund
Club, Tromso Trekkhund .Club
and . others.. They were delighted
with his pictures erf life in Alaska.
In Oslo he helped celebrate the
17*th of May Which- is equivalent
to the American 4th of July. He
met the champion, long-distance
woman skier, Solveig Iversen, also
a dog-team driver, at a reception.
She gave him flowers in behalf of
the clubs of Oslo, accompanied by
a Norwegian bear hug.
When he left Oslo cm May 18
for his family home at Skjervoy
it was still snowing. He had or
ganized a Youth Club in 1898, and
its members were on the dock to
f greet him with a (brass band* of 14
men from the original group.
Seppala still owns the family
home in Skpervoy, built about 75 /
years ago. It was used as German
headquarters during the last war
and practically everything was
stolen. One of his friends, how
ever, managed to conceal a ring of
Alaska gold 'that Seppala had
given his father in 1903.
At Lyngenfjord, his birthplace,
the town gave a reception in his
honor and everyone Joined in th
oldtime laqces.
With cousins by the dozens and
hosts of relatives in northern Nor*

basked in the sunshine and was
popular with the children of for
mer playmates and his own kin
as he told stories of Alaska.
He met many friends in Norway
he has known in Nome who had
returned to Norway to live per
manently, all of whom are doing
well.
