ALASJA DAY FESTIVAL ;
toy Mary Frances Hall
Buttons, bows, furbelows;
and Mrs. B. D. Stewart add up
to some very lovely and imagin
ative costumes. There she stood
over the ironing board pressing
a lontg pink streamer of shiny
taffeta. She looked like Alice
in Wonderland with all the
bows, flowers and trims scat
tered around her. Draped on
the sofa was a lovely half fin
ished creation fashioned from
lustrous light blue and silver j
material from a discarded dress '
ing gown.
She explained that the hand
some coffee brown jacket had
been purchased from a white
elephant sale for fifty cents.
Against the other wall stood a
dummy showng off another
costume consisting of a soft
avocado green jacket trimmed
in jink taffeta with its own
pink full length underskirt gar
nished with circular bands of
avodaido. “This pink taffeta
came from Sears,” stated Mrs.
Stewart. “The whole costume
cost albout three dollars.” A
closet revealed more off her
work. Again the material used
for these costumes looked ele
gant and cost very little. Mrs.
Stewart fashioned her own
costume for the Alaska Day Fes
tival with the ability of a true
artist. “One thing led to an
other,” she laughed.
Mrs. Stewart said she would
be iglad to assist the women of
Sitka with their own Festival
costumes. Her advice and ideas
are well iworth the trip to the
Cathedral building.
Mrs. Stewart is very modest
about the talent she displays
for designing and creating or
iginal costumes from her own
imagination. “You don’t know
how much fun if is,” she says
brightly.

Sports Trail
had a showdown on the subject
and was released.
“I sold cars for three and a
half years,” 'he said. “Played
some golf, but not too seriously
A lot of people asked me why
I didn’t turn pro, so about three
years ago I took up the game
seriously.”
The pros soon were well a
ware olf his presence. As Doug
Ford said, “We’d hit our second
shot, walk about 50 yards, and
there would come Bayer’s tee
shot right up to us.”
A friendship with Bob Hope,*
the funny man, was a turning
point in George’s career. Hope
took the Ibig fellow to Washing
ton with him for the Celebrity
tournament.
Sam Snead had never seen
him, but George’s friend, Geo
rge Low, warned Sam that he
had a man who would outdrive
anybody. Sam, along with Cary
Middlecoff and another better
than fair driver, played with
Bayer. When it was over Sam
was duly impressed.
“You so-and-so,” he said.' to
Low in grudging admiration. “I
bet you got him off a Flying
Saucer.”
From a guy* who couldn’t
break 80 three years ago Bayer
has cofhe very far indeed. His
short game has improved stead
ily, and he plays “within him
self” on his wood shots. The
very long ones, too, often got
you in a mess of trouble.
'His best score is a 62, regis
tered at Pasadena, and in his
| exhibitons he has tied two
course records and broken three
He uses a club with a 44 inch
shaft, about an inch longer
than the average shaft. It wei
ghs 14 5/8 ounces, not excep
tional for its length.
He figures the longest drive
he ever made was at Tucson,
Ariz., where his shot was 10
yards beyond the pin on a 455
vard hole. He admits the ground
was a little hard, but a 455
yard shot would be something
on a concrete pavement
He has been in the money con
sistently on the tournament
circuit, and is in demand for
exhibitions because of his tre
mendous driving. So along with
his tie-in with a sporting goods
firm, he’s not doing too badly
for a guy whose goal 3 years
wo was to break 80.
