Large Variety
Of Exhibits at
Flower Shew
The Palmer Garden Club flow- j
er show last Sunday drew a capa- j
city crowd which viewed a wide !
and varied exhibit of locally j
grown flowers. Although there ;
were but 19 entrants, the Elks j
hall was filled with colorful j
blooms, and exhibits not in com- j
petition.
Isabelle Woolcock took first
place in the sweepstakes, winning ]
16 blue, four red, and three white j
ribbons. Rose Johnson of Wasilla
placed second with 13.blue rib
bons, five red, and four white.
Amy Irwin was third with eight
blue ribbons and four red.
During the show Susie Black,
Betty Jo Wilson, and Joan Ste
phan entertained with piano sel
ections. Mrs. M. D. Snodgrass
presided at the coffee table.
Among intresting displays, not
in competition, was an exhibit
of perennials and annuals of un
usual type, grown by Dr. Rich
ard Washburn. Many of these
flowers are new to the Alaskan
gardener and drew considerable
interest from the viewers. Dr. and
Mrs. Allan Mick displayed a
number of attractive floral ar
rangements using flowers grown
at the Experiment Station and
Kerry furnished an arrangement
of beautiful poppies for the cof
fee table. Other interesting dis
plays included an exhibit of
moose horn articles made by Ed
Ueeck and a display of wood
carvings and new wood pictures
made by Rosalee Stuart. Also an
attractive arrangement of calen
dula, delphiniums and dwarf
marigolds made by Maud Hosier,
club president. The arrangement
followed the show theme with
“49” marked out with marigolds
on a background of delphiniums
and bordered by the gold calen
ciula.
In the Junior Division the
children of Mir. and Mrs. Richard
Demming made entries in the
four sections with interesting and
artful versions of the Constitu
tion; oil; future farmers; and the
atomic age.
Judges for the show, all mem
bers of the Anchorage Garden
Club, were the mesdames Harold
Bliss, M. G. Gebhart, Decker,
Robert Kaufmann, Lewis Stutz,
and Robert Prescott.
Mrs. Hosier expressed her ap
preciation to Howard McCallis

Duff, Leah Fox, Helen Scott,

was one of our nicest shows be
cause we were able to properly
display the flowers,” she added,
and expressed her apprciation to
Mrs. Snodgrass for officiating at
the coffee table, “It’s wonderful
to have her each year as our hos

ALASKA CLAIMS
16% OF SEAPLANES
IN UNITED STATES
Sixteen percent of all seaplanes
in the country are in Alaska,
most of them based at Lake
Hood seaplane base at Anchor
age, according to recent Civil
Aeronautics Administration fig
ures.
Only one state, New York, ap
proaches Alaska in the number
of seaplanes registered with the
CAA. New York has 215, Alaska
has 364 of the total for the Unit
ed States of 2,296.
Alaska and the northern states
where lakes abound have the
most attraction for seaplane own
ers. In Alaska, the floatplane is
operated virtually as the owner
uses his private car.

GET OUT THE VOTE
!‘vv
The strength of our country stems from the right
of its citizens to vote. Our democracy rests on the
freedom of the individual to choose, for any elective
position, the candidate who he thinks will best repre
sent his interests.
Our form of government has brought untold bene
fits and advantages to us, its citizens. In return, it
is our duty to help keep that form of government
strong, by assuming our responsibilities in voting—
to be sure that we are all governed by those who
represent the choice of the majority. It is when we
shirk this duty that individuals who have only their
own interests at heart find it easier to creep in—to
take over governments, where their private ambi
tions can work to the detriment of the American
people.
We urge every qualified voter to exercise his privi
lege and obligation of voting—not only in the forth
coming election, but in all elections for which he is
eligible. It’s every voter’s duty to “get out the vote’'
-—taik it up with neighbors—volunteer to transport
them to the polls. This is but a small investment,
with a large return, in security, in happiness, in
freedom.
