COURT OF AWARDS AT
JESSE LEE HOME
The annual Court of Awards was
held at Jesse Leg Home Wednes
day, May 4, in the gymnasium, for
the Jesse Lee Girl Scout Troop.
This little troop of 21 girls is
sponsored by Seward Woman’s
Club, the members of whom adop
ted the little girl scouts for the
occasion and paid for the badges
which the girls had earned.
Miss Ruth Leichliter, the scout
mistress, was also presented with
the Thanks Badge which is pro
vided for outstanding work done
by a leader.
Six girls were made first class
scouts and several passed the ten
derfoot test, making them scouts
second class.
•
The awards were made in the
second act of a clever little play
laid around scouting. One of the
.features of the play was the hu
man pyramids formed by the girls,
all in uniform. Perfect grace and
rhythm ih folk dancing and well
trained group singing were espe
cially noticeable.
The evening ended with refresh
ments served by the girl scouts to
the guests and children in the
home.
Of all the troop only one was
absent, little Anna Jensen, who
was in Seward General Hospital
after an operation for acute appen
dicitis. The badges she has earned
will be awarded when she is re
covered.
The subjects in which honors
were earned were painting, music,
dramatlfcs, signaling, literature,
camp craft folk dancing and the
hostess badge. It was evident to
all present that these girls wrere
well grounded and had really
earned their badges.

It is unfortunate that the sun
does not always shine upon the
arrival of passenger ships bringing
new people into Seward, because
then we do not need a man-made
welcome sign stretched across the
street such as was suggested a
year ago.
As one leaves the ship and walks
up the wide clean street which is
; Fourth Avenue for two blocks,
looking toward the broad gleaming
face of the mountain whose name 1
doesn’t seem to be established but
commonly called Resurrection, Mt.
Alice with her stately spires, sur
prising Marathon, and the rough
steeps of Bear Mountain, none of
which encroach upon the town, !
but all seeming to offer welcome
and security by their encirclement.
Surely the impression made upon
the visitor is one of peace, security,
strength and welcome. Then he
| looks at his feet and the town
around him. After he leaves the
business block with, its painted
fronts and nice interiors, and trav
els along our side streets, what
does he see? Unfinished and un
painted houses which he under
stands, because the high cost of |
building is not peculiar to Alaska j
I alone, but what the newcomer will
never understand is the unkempt j
condition of the yards and streets, j
When the sun does not shine, ;
when everything is gray and dis- !
mal, then our grassless gravel I
fronts must look drab indeed. Be- i
cause we have grown accustomed !
to it we do not notice how dull and
uninviting it might look to others.
Just this week, the first week of
our Clean-Up Campaign, there is
already evidence of the fact that
we only need to be reminded of
how we look to make us get busy
and straighten things up. Here
and there work has been done and I
is being done in yards—and it !
shows. Every single improvement I
can be noticed and as more and j
more people catch the spirit we j
will build up. a feeling of civic !
pride that will build up and keep
up a reputation for neatness in
our surroundings.
We are offering the following I
recipe for a chocolate cake, which
waS brought in to us by Rev. Paul
Irwin. It was sent to him by his
mother who says that it is a fine
cake. Rev. Irwin was brave enough
to try it and was really enthusiastic
about the results. He said he’d
have brought the staff a piece but
it was all gone. We hope you will
let us know how you like it. This
is the Miracle Whip cake, but we
will probably all know it as Rev.
Irwin's cake.
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
bs cup cocoa
2 teaspoons soda
Pinch of salt
Vanilla
Stir well together with
1 cup miracle whip salad dressing
1 cup cold water
