Our Ladies’ Sowing Circle met
at Bobbie Douglas’s Thursday,
where we discussed, amoving other
things, the building of log cabins.
The sun poured through the big
windows and was reflected back
from the peeled ceiling logs and
the varnished plywood wall panel.
In the big fire place a fire blazed
merrily, its snapping and crackling
an undertone to our ehitter
chattering. Mrs. West took pictures
of us outside the house, and later
on Bobbie served delicious little
crab sandwiches and cake and
coffee. I came home quite pleased
with myself because I accomplish
ed the darning of two and one
half pair of socks. Our next meet
ing will be at Mrs. Faulkner's
Thursday, March 18th.
Bobbie and Leo started building
their cabin in May. 1938 and their
first party in November of the
same year.

One of our highway boys has
distinguished himself. Don Steele
was one of the ten boys chosen
for the All-Star* Basketball Team
for the Territory of Alaska. He
was high point man for our
Seward team.
The Frank Steeles came up
here from Metaline Falls, Wash
ington, September 19, 1947, on
the “Baronof”, and have purchas
ed the Frank Woods two lots in
the Dufresne eighty acres north
of the bay, with an option to
buy another. Mrs. Steele’s brother
is driving up here over the high
way, coming from Kingston, lefaho
and hopes to reach here around
March 15th. The Steels have sent
for their daughter Virginia and
are hoping she will arrive here
with her uncle. Virginia is a
stenographer-hook-keeper.

Well, Haroln' just this minute,
while fooling around with the
front-door key, twisted off the
head and now we are locked in.
Due to the unfinished state of
the bedroom, we can’t get out the
back of the house either. He is
bellowing out the window for
Ray. Annetta answers and comes
over with a key. hut can do no
good, so she yells for Ray too.
After eleven years with Haroln*, J
am more or less used to this sort
of thing, and I've not even stoo
ped typing. The big creature
doesn’t know his own strength.
Now Ray has come with another
key and opened the door. So this
will probably get into the paper
iftcr all.

When I called on Slvia West
the other day, she had out the
scrubbing board and was washing
curtains. The day was so nice
and she felt so goon'/ she became
filled with the Spirit of Spring
Housecleaning.
The Wests have been in Alaska
ten or twelve years and around
Seward for five. They came to the
Territory from Bowie, Cochise
County, Arizona.

I stopped at the Stephens’ place
too. Mrs. Stephens was resting
upstairs, so I helped her mother
so I chatted with daughter Donna
I who is one fine girl. She lino*
pitched in and* helped her mother
that day, and the floor was as
clean as it is when her mother
do.s them. She had a pot roast
cooking on the stove and bread
rising on the table beside it. She
herself sparkled like all rare little
gems do.
r
The Eo’die Stephenses came to
Seward from Metaline Falls, Wash
ington, and have been here now
almost two years. Eddie, however
1 was not a cheechako. He was born
and raised in Fairbanks.
•
( I walked into the Mann's place,
too, that day, but found no one
home but the big white dogs—
thre. of them. They made me
think of our beautiful Tippy, who
is no more, anti* who, with Sandy,
ustd to fued with them when
big Pete was their leader.

Life has turned against the
Lyle Douglases and bitten them
where it hurts. Last Friday their
well dried up or froze up and
their wonderful, wonderful mod
ern faucets stano* idle. Our hats
are off to Mrs. Douglas, however,

from Eureka, Montana. The fol
