IT HAPPENED IN SEATTLE
By James L. Singleton
t”
1 dare say that no man hates
with greater'pury or gnashes his
t• (h more violently at rules of
thumb than I do. but if there is
any one thing that 1 am abso
lutely certain of. it is that sales
manship is not an art it's a gift.
I arrived at this conclusion quite
unexpectedly yet forcefully
enough that I maintain an inflex
ible attitude on the subject. Let
me explain my stand. It was base
ball and Sick's Stadium was ra
pidly filling with fans. Dusk was
■ eting in. As l approached the
.; de I noticed a small boy trudg
ing to and fro with a bundle of
papers under his arm. He was
l be picture of utter despair, ap
I irently. he had not made a sale
jVir some time. Suddenly, his face
1 l up and he shouted as only
news boys can. “Don't sit on a
<• Id seat. Sit on a P. I.” His !
ail>ers began to move

Hi-Way News
This afternoon our Highway
Gals met at Bobbie Douglas'
home, where we caught up on
some of our mending, embroider
ing. etc., while listening to the
neighborhood news. Bobbie served
pineapple-cottage cheese salad
with crab sandwiches, pickles and
i
cold sliced meat and white cake
and coffee. It was really pleasant,
sitting there eating that good i
food and watching the rain out
side and listening to the conver- !
sat ion. Those there were Creo
Ives. Ahnetta Gillespie. Boo With- j
erup. Linda Faulkner, myself and
of course Mrs- Dawson. Our next
meeting will be on July 29th at
Edith Douglas' home near Mile ;
7.

Little Terry Ann Wright, from j
Anchorage, is visiting Bonnie Lou
and Donna Douglas and will be
there for another week. She
seems blonder and cuter than
ever. iShe tells me that her sis
ter Arline is in Seattle at the pre
sent time. Remember Arlinc’s j
beautiful, thick, black curls?)
Saturday night Bobbie permitted J
Terry and Bonnie to put on little* ;
evening dresses and bought them
each a corsage and took them to
the Nobby Club in celebration of
Bonnie’s birthday, which was
really on Monday. Daddy Leo had
a birthday last Thursday.
y y y
Last Monday small fry Donna
Douglas, in an experimental mood :
held ;t lighted match over a gas
oline container, there was an tin
pleasant noise and Donna was
lushed into town with a badly
; nrned hand and singed brows
; nd forehead. A badly frightened
Lola if dropped her work on her
hook- and. not finding a taxicab
immediately available, ran all the
way up to Dr. Seller’s oft ice,
where she was deeply grateful to
f ad that Donna had emerged
i -oin her experiment as fortcu
tely as she had. Anyway. Don
's • little face is as pert and
-e'iy a- ever, and we are all
glad.
Mr and Mrs. Joe Russell, re
■ : < ■ catt le people Lorri Sa Ber
nard.no. California, were in town
last Thursday visiting the Leo
Douglas’, who took them t<
Moose Pass and to visit Alaska :
Nellie at 1.awing, which latter
visit thrilled the Russells no eifd.
Also, recently. Bobbie enter
tained Mrs. Marcella Wilkinson
of Anchorage, for a week.

A short v bile ago S h a r o n
Douglas, Vic Witherup and Mori
anne Montgomery of Seward had
their birthdays on the same day
and Die!; Steinberger. now of
Seward had his on the next: so
Edith rounded them all up and
they and theirs celebrated the
multriple birthdays at the Lyle
Douglas place.
y y y
Boo and Vic Witherup were
painting around their place Tues
day afternoon and Looking posi
tively delapidnted. when Virginia
and Lulu Shuster, Juanita Priteh
ard and Jason Jordan arrived and
merrily went about taking pic
Lues of the paint-wracked house,
the almost-equally-painted Witli
erups, the Iceland poppies and.
I believe their fuzzy dog. (Can’t
you just visualize Vic trimmed in
soft-while and pale yellow?)
Then Wednesday Juani.ta (who
operates a beauty parlor in Penn- j
sylvania), infected with our reck-!
less Alaskan enthusiasm, cut Bon j
hair with a hunting knife. Boo, !
pleased, took her out back to the j
picnic grounds and generously fed .
her with hot dogs.

Harold and I finally decided 1
that we would paint the lower,
half of our walls pale green. So '
he brought home turquoise and
put it on one. wall. Now he's
terribly hurt that 1 don’t believe
turquoi' o is green. I have to be
ieal!v sharp in order to keep a1
r’va'gh' course ct iu••! hero.

The strawberries visible from
the highway are taking on a
pinkish cast these days, which
means fresh strawberry shortcake
is not far off. Linda Faulkner is
planting her strawberries now and
expects great, sueess.

The Larry O. Grounds, who
brought the Tiny Trakowsky
place back in at Mile 3, have
painted the building white.

Guy Terrill of Mite 3, who al
ways has a marvelous garden,
was in here some time ago and
gave us some excellent advice on
gardening, although he is so mod
est we almost had to pry the in
formation out of him He invited
us over to look at his garden
and. just as soon as Harold can
drive us over, we are going to
take him un on it.

The wild flowers the children
are bringing home to me are var
ied and beautiful, but,, alas, even
with a book on flowers. 1 cannot
figure out half the time what
they are: but 1 think one kind !
is Farewell-To-Spring rose-purple j
in color, and that another is the
wild Columbine, an orange-red.
One variety is a small pale la
vender, shading oft to white at
the center. It has five petals and
some of its leaves are fern-like;
and it :s fragrant. Then there is
the wild purple Iris, and 1 don't
know how many more. The hanks [
of the streams and the deep I
woods arc full now of wondrous i
beauty, healing balm for the
henrls of mankind. j

During the war an old Dutch !
patriot was talking with Anton!
Mussert who had sold out. to the ,
Nazis.
“What will you do,” he asked, 1
“when the Allies have won the ;
war?”
"Oh, nothing complicated,” an- ■
swered Mussert. “If the Allies win,
I will put on my coat and hat and
go away.”
“I see,” said the patriot. “But
what will you put your hat on? '
The man had just bought a cigar
in a department store and started
to light it.
“Didn’t you notice the sign?”
asked the salesgirl.
“What!" exploded the customer.
“You sell cigars in here but you
prohibit smoking?”
The salesgirl smiled sweetly:
“We also sell bath towels”
