Homemakers Enthused
Over Week at
Annual Short Course
Attractive original hats were
made by several of the 10 valley
women who returned from the
Homemakers Short Course held
at the University of Alaska last
week. Over 100 women from the
Territory convened at College
tor the Eighth Annual Short
Course.
An added, and unexpected,
treat greeted the women on their
first day when scientists at the
University who were the first to
see and hear the Russian satte
lite, spoke to the entire campus,
explaining in detail what hap
pened. The men had taped the
signals being received on earth
from the sattelite and played the
recording.
In addition to the millinery
courses there were workshops
each day in recreation and fam
ily life; fitted patterns; parka
making; rug making; and color
styles for personal improvement.
A dieter’s table was led each
day by an attractive Fairbanks
homemaker who had lost 60
pounds during the past year and
had the •'before” pictures to
prove it. Much helpful advise
was eagerly received by those
who needed it.
Four gracious Kotzebue Na
tive women were popular dele
gates and their “white sisters”
learned much about the chal
lenge of homemaking in Arctic
villages. One of the delegates
returned to her village minus
her long black braids and sport
ing a lovely short home perman
ent, given to her by her room
mates.
The valley delegates returned
to Palmer and Sutton enthusias
tic and a bit weary with all they
had learned in one short week
and reported that the College
building program is astounding
in its yearly growth.
