SEWARD CAN TAKE HEART
that some day there may really
be a small boat shelter worthy
of the name here. The proof
comes in a report from the
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army,
concerning Kodiak.
August 5, 1946 a public hear
ing was held in Kodiak. The
people there pled for a small
boat basin, to be dredged and
protected by two rock break
waters. They must surely have
given up hope of ever having
such a facility, but lo and be
hold! The improvement has just
now—after seven short years—
been approved. Surely "The

Two or three years after the
Kodiak hearing, the Corps of
Engineers held a hearing in
Seward. It was well attended
and the need for a better shelter
harbor was ably presented. Fish
ermen and small-boat owners
asked for an extended break

berthing facilities. It is true that
the Engineers made a feeble at
tempt at dredging the harbor
blit there is no sign of the much
needed breakwater.
It now seems quite possible
that sometime within or after
the next seven years the powers
that be may get around to doing
something about Seward’s prob
lem. After all, what is seven
years to people who have al
ready waited 50 years for rec
ognition?

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard
Mrs. Elwyn Swetmann, before
leaving on the boat this week
for California, gave into Jesse
Lee’s keeping a very treasured
memento. The first Alaska flag,
made by its thirteen-year-old
designer, Benny Benson, a Jesse
Lee boy, has long been in the
territorial museum at Juneau.
But Mrs. Swetmann, because of
the interest which she and Mr.
Swetmann always maintained in
the affairs of the Home, was
also presented with a flag made
by Benny at about the same
time. This flag has now been re
turned by Mrs. Swetmann for
permanent display at the Home.
The “B” dorm has a fairy
god-mother, whose busy fingers
are creating adorable Sunday
outfits for one after another of
the girls. The mystery seam
stress has maintained contact
with the Housemother only by
telephone, and has sent the
dresses out by a “friend.” All
of the girls are very curious as
to who their unknown benefac
tor is, and at the same time, they
are very grateful to her for her
time and labor.
The children are very proud
of their new glasses, and may
be seen shining them several
times a day. There seems to be
one difficulty, however; the
glass cases which came with
them are not sturdy enough for
sufficient protection, and al
ready there is breakage trouble.
Anyone having h a r d-b a c k e d
cases that are not in use could
be a great help in preventing
more accidents by sending them
to the Home.
Welcome guests of Jesse Lee
Wednesday and Thursday were
Mr. and Mrs. William Stone of
Kodiak. Mr. Stone is superin
tendent of the Baptist Children's
Home there and showed interest

work. The Stones were on their

to Fairbanks.
