Two Alaskan Stories Are Worlds Apart
The Dachshunds On Mama
(aland by Florence V.
Mayberry.—Illustrations by
Janina Domanska. Doubleday
& Co. $2.95.
The frolicking and romping of
nine dashshunds and a little eight
year old girl fill the pages of this
delightful story by Florence May
berry. Its a story for children real
ly, but has an appeal for the young
in heart, of whatever age who love
children and dogs. For it concerns
the problems of this little girl rear
ed on a small island minutes away
from Sitka, and how she “grew
lip.”
The little miss, as well as the
dogs, will scamper into your heart
with the author’s descriptive words
coupled with some charming illu
strations by Janina Domanska.

North of Heaven, by Agnes
Rodli. Published by
Moody Press.
Missionary zeal brought two
young women to a small Eskimo
village. There they labored for
three years, bringing spiritual aid
to the natives, both young and old,
and education as well, particularly
to the young, but also to all who
wanted to learn.
The two women, Mildred James
and the author, Agnes Rodli, trans
planted into a whole new world, at
times missed the comforts of the
cities from which they came, but
found the reward great in witness
ing the progress made — especially
in their small charges as they
wrestled with the English langu
age, and problems of right and
wrong.
Dog sledding to other villages,
carrying water from the river,
sometimes in the frozen state, 60
degree below weather, making do

school equipment — these were
just a few of the activities and
chores never before experienced
by the girls.

ed also in getting the natives to
pull together in building a new
schoolhouse needed to care for a
growing enrollment. Seeing the
children, so used to playing,
sledding, etc., take to their books,
stimulated the girls to greater ef
fort.
Aroused by illness among the
natives, the two girls managed
