Vorld Champion
Figure Skater Is
But Pertly Plump
(Bp'The Associated Pkb)
OSLO, Jftirway, June — Other
world champions may resort to fan
cy diets and careful checking of
calories and vitamins but Sanja
Henie, nine times world champion
in figure skating, plans to keep on
eating anything and everything.
I should never think of slimming
myself declares the attractive if
slightly plumpish Sonia, now pre
paring for the Olympic games in
193d.
I eat everything I can get, and as
much as I can get of it; I eat big
beef steaks and heaps of chocolate,
and a number of other things that
I am fond Of. I always feel hungry
and I usually bring a few sandwich
es with me when I am to go to an
ice rink”, she said.
There are no secrets.
If anybody wants to know, I am
23 years old, and I weigh 110 pounds
said the skater.

' The, Beach Miner
And The Sniper
Just like the driftwood, that is toss
from place to place.
He prospects still—to And the sand
that frays.
Although he knows the beach for
many* years,
He knows there still is gold, from
edge to tundra tier.
__ *
For nearly forty years, men here
have mined the sand,
With pay, almost from hand to hand.
And maiiy a space is left between,
as fair as I know,
• That justifles a man with long-tom
as he goes.
?
Some wander up the creeks in
search of gold.
They call it sniping as I was told.
From worked out claims, deserted
41
I suppose,
The sniper still finds gold, and sil
ently he goes.
Discarded boxes, he finds here and
'there,
With worn out riffles, which he does
repair.
A little flour, bacon and some beans.
When that is gone, in town he will
be seen.
To buy some food for now he has
some dust,
And when he goes back, to his dis
gugt, -
He finds another man, upon his find.
And soon you'll see, they'll have a
lively round.
Get off my ground you dirty skunk,
This is my ground, or with his ax
so blunt,
I’ll crack your skull, and pound you
down to dust.
By heck I will, I swear I was here
first.
I.
The lust for gold, will dtive some
man so far,
That life long friends, do drift apart.
They do forget, that rich is he that

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
Old Jim Huscroft comes in from
his home out at Lituya Bay once in
a blue moon to visit, to shop, and to
get his mail, which usually is one or
two letters. Twenty years in the
lonely solitude of the Lituya country
between the veteran Alaskan and
has ab >ut br >kt i all correspondence
with the outside world says a recent
issue of the Juneau Empire.
Imagine Jim's surprise, when on
his visit to Juneau the other day, he
if the usual mail, that
his box was jammed and overflow
ing with 54 letters of all kinds.
Alarmed, he glanced over the
postmarks to find handwriting and
typing from the four corners of the
world -Vienna, Buenos Aires, Lon
1 m, Pal i Kansas, lie stepped back
agani l i window out of the path of
heavy pod", trian traffic, and opened
the fn t missive. It was from a man
in Kansas City. It read:
“Dear Friend: Thought I would
write you a few lines for I'm sure
you are 1 ome away up there in
the cold Northland. How I would
like to be up there with you as I
am tired of civilization.
“I will certainly appreciate it very
much if you would write and tell
me something about yourself and
just how to get to your location.,
How far you from Juneau, Alas
ka, and Dawson, Alaska ? I was
lust wondering if you would consid
er sharing your home with me. .
Yours ; i nee rely, H. W., Kansas.
Hurrying to his room in the Alas
kan Hotel, Jim proceeded to open
and read more letters. All carried
ab >ut the same sentiments. Several
were from women, but Jim stated
that th a would appear ridiculous
in pint. ‘Many hinted of an article
in tlii* National Geographic Maga
zine. All hoped to visit his sylvan
home in Lituya's wonderland.
Jim, it seemed, had become an in
ternational figure overnight I
Suspecting that Bradford Wash
burn, of the Mt. Fairweather Expe
dition into the Lituya region two
years ago had contributed an article
to the famous periodical, Jim called
at all the newstands in Juneau for
information. Bit by bit he learned
that the March issue of the Geogra
phic carried a lengthy illustrated ac
count of Washburn's Expedition into
the section. He learned yesterday
from his friends that his picture was
prominent in the chapter devoted to
his homeland, which increased his
desire to see the issue. With all the
agencies sold out of the March Geo
graphic, Jim was promised a copy
this week by the local Elks’ Club.
And so, old Jim looks forward
with feverish anticipation toward
reading all about himself and seeing
the pictures that have resulted in a
landslide of mail to his postoffice
box.
Here On Business
Incidently. Jim Huscroft is in town
on serious business—the business of
keeping his home and the wolf away
from the door, so to speak. Last
year, the Federal Government de
clared the Lituya Bay country a na
tional monument. This meant that
Jim was prohibited from taking any
thing into or from his home. Dur
ing the past year, he has found the
cost of living very dear, what with
smuggling food and the necessities
of life, and trying to make his little
garden work overtime in prepara
tion for winter.
Jim will remain in Juneau for two
or three days more, consulting au
thorities and receiving more 'fan
mail,” Thetice by gasboat back to
his solitude under the rim of 15,000

mountain in the world.
