The Frontiersman
Seward, Alaska
To Entertain
Seward, Nebraska
A cultimation of two years
planning will materialize May 24
when the Capitol Stage Line bus
pulls out of Seward, Nebraska,
headed for Seward, Alaska.
Aboard will be the Seward bas
ketball team, Coach Ralph Bow
master and ten Seward citizens
who also wish to make the trip.
This isn’t just a spur of the
moment, idea, but something that
has been in the planning for two
years. Last summer Harold Davis
son-of Seward, Nebraska took his
family over the Alaska Highway
to Seward .Alaska to see what
the problems involved would be.
Following his findings, various
committees went to work to
raise money.
There have been no donations.
The boys have helped earn the
money by holding square dances, j
bowling tournaments and many
other special events. Newspapers!
from coast to coast, Stars and
Stripes and two major TV pro- j
grams have helped promote the;
idea. A photographer from a large
weekly magazine is expected to!
make the trip with the Nebras- i
kans.
During the weeks stay in Alas
ka, there will be three basketball
games, a softball contest, bowl
ing match and a deep sea fishing
trip. Banquets are planned by the
Chamber of Commerce. Elks,
Lions and the Episcopal Church, j
Other entertainment will be fur
nished by several Seward, Alaska
civic organizations. .
Plans call for the Alaskan team !
to invade Seward, Nebraska
sometime next year by chartered
plane.
Voice of the North

There is much written these
days about Alaska and its beau-1
ties and hopes for statehood. Now ;

voice to a discussion of America’s ’
northernmost outpost in a new
volume of verse, THE CALL OF
ALASKA. .It has been published

Mr. Duckworth has written a
collection of verse which show's
an intense interest and apprecia
tion of nature, as nature must be
known to men wrho live long in
the lonely North, rugged and end
lessly vast, and at once intimate '
and splendid.

Home Demonstration
Notes
By Marylou Rideout
National Home Demonstration
Week, May 3—9
It is known that certain move
ments in our country cause last
ing and important changes in the
lives of the people. Home Demon
stration Work is one of those, and
if you want proof, attend a Home
maker’s club, and take part in the
club’s project and social activities.
An annual activity of all clubs
is the observance of Home Dem
onstration Week. No better theme
could be thought of for this year’s
than last year’s theme, “Today’s
Home Builds Tomorrow’s World.”
During the week perhaps all of us
should take stock of our HOME.
As expressed by one farm woman,
“The home is the foundation of a
nation, and when that home is
managed by a well-informed
homemaker who cooks well-bal
anced meals, clothes her family
with well-fitted garments, and
furnishes her home with care and
2ood taste, we have a strong foun
dation. If within this home the
rights of each are respected and
we teach and live love of home,;
country, fellow men, and God, we
aave the homemaker’s ultimate
joal. A nation with these homes
will be prosperous, respected by
■>ther nations, and a blessing to
he world.”
As a social activity next week,
rlomemaker’s clubs are giving a
:ea, to which everyone is invited.
Romemaker club members are
rrged to attend and bring a friend
)r two—especially newcomers to
iur community. The tea is to be
J'ven at the United Protestant
church, Tuesday, May 5th from
l :30 p.m. to 3 p.m. A program is
planned for two o’clock. There
vill be an exhibit of club pro
ects, handicraft and hobbies.
Home early, meet and talk with
»thers, hear the program, see the
‘xhibit ad partake of the fine re
reshments.
The food and serving will be
n charge of four clubs. The Butte
ind Riverbend members are re
ninded to bring small cakes and
ookies. The members of the
Sourdough and Glacier View
Hlubs are to bring “tea” sand
wiches. Mrs. Martin Olson and
he Wasilla Homemakers are in
harge of the table decorations.

claws and pieces of fur to use
in swaps.
Leaving Palmer June 16, he
will join Anchorage and Fair

week tour of 11 Western states,
with stops at all principal points
of interest, climaxed by their ar
rival at the site of the mammouth
gathering of scouts from all over
! America near Los Angeles, Cali

Although Buddy has earned
much of his required amount, he
said this week he is still looking
: for a few odd jobs to earn a little
additional spending money. Any
one who could use Buddy’s ser
! vices after school or on Saturday
is asked to contact his dad at
