ur« and Mrs,Louie Odsr.ther re
turned last Saturday from an ex
tended visit in the stStes.
Mrs-, Odsather says she had a
wonderful trip and enjoyed her
stay outside, but was never
happier than when she boarded
the boat headed back to Alaska,
there is no place like home to
those who have lived in Alaska
as long as Mr3,Odsather has.
^i3s June King returning home
trom the University of Alaska
for the Holidays, presented her
mother with an unusal gift; a
set of musical glasses.
The mystery of t he goblets was
discovered whija the radio was
plauing. Many musical notes
were added to those of the radio
much to the mysterious surprise
of Mrs.King who, at * . first
was unable to believe the music
came from the glasses on the table
I
Mis3 King finally explained
that when the glasses were part
ly filled with water, and espec
ially when the rims were moist -
■ened, tho glasses plaued certain
musical notes. It appeared
possible to pl&y tunes if a
number of people were at table
and each had a glass , by adding
more or less water to the glass.
Anyone who is interested in the
giusical glasses may call on Mrs.
King who will demonstrate her
unusal Christmas gift.
Mrs, Ross L.Sheely, chairman
of the Christmas Seal sale com
mittee tells us ttiat $243,85
has been raised in this commun
ity for the prevention of tuber
culosis, ^ Again we are reminded
that 95 % of this amount will
remain in the Territory and

cure of tuberculosis.
