SANTA FINDS ROAD
TO LAZY MOUNTAIN
Christmas at Lazy Mountain,
last week something of an un
certainty, was a three-day holi
day of gift-giving and fun for
the 32 children there, it was
reported by Rev. Kenneth
Hughes. “It was the best Christ
mas we’ve ever had,” he said,
“and we had been afraid it might
be the poorest, since we are so
new here.”
But children of the home had
not been forgotten in the Christ
mas plans of others. The holi
day began on Lazy Mountain
on the evening of the 23rd. That
night a busload of 40 Anchorage
residents, headed by Rev. Fel
ton Griffin of the First Baptist
church there, drove to the home
to give the children a Christmas
party.
The party had been made
possible through the radio
broadcasts of the Anchorage
church. In addition to toys
f6r all of the children. Rev
erend Griffin presented the
home with a money gift of
$150, as well as a Christmas
turkey and gifts of clothing
for the children.
The program planned for the
children included impersonations
by Homer Rideout of radio sta
tion KFQD, Christmas hymns
and carols and a film, with nar
ration, of the Christmas story.
The second Christmas party at
Lazy Mountain began on Christ
mas morning, when gifts under
the tree were unwrapped. This
party continued until 2 o’clock
that afternoon. Children enjoyed
so much of their Christmas
breakfast of bacon and eggs, first
in the home’s history, that
Christmas day dinner was post
poned until the following day.
Eight-year-old Norrie Hob
son, who wrote one of the
prize-winning letters to Sant
Claus in the contest sponsored
by the Anchorage News, was
given her requested gift of a
doll buggy in which to wheel
the doll she had purchased
with her own money.
Every girl at the home re
ceived a Christmas doll in addi
tion to other gifts of clothing
and wardrobe needs. But of their
many ne wgifts, children on
Lazy Mountain are especially
happy with “Porky”, a small pig,
the gift of Max Sherrod. He is
fed many times daily with tid
bits saved from the children’s
plates, while Mittens, the St.
Bernard, mopes about, a for
gotten dog.
