SS Chena Crewmen
Play Santa Claus
To Alaska Orphans
There's somethin'.; different in
Santa Claus’ bag for the orphans
of Jesse Lee Home of Seward this
year. He’s packing a Shetland
pony, complete with saddle, bridle
and stirrups.
And who is Santa? He's not one
but many—the 40-man crew of
the Alaska Steamship Co. SS
Chena, which sailed from Seattle
for Seward Dec. 15.
Santa’s bag not only includes
the pony present but individual
gifts for each of the 43 children of
the home-—items that each has
asked for in his letter to Santa.
“Sometimes the children ask for
the moon,” one of the crew mem
bers pointed out, but seagoing
Santas usually come through. Last
year, for instance, one of them
gave a dark blue suit for a boy’s
high school graduation.
This year individual gifts range
from transistor radios to walking
dolls and include eight cowboy
suits, three guitars, three sleds,
watches and luggage for a girl who
is leaving the home.
The Jesse Lee childrens’ Christ
mas has been the project of the
Chena crew for six years and it
always includes boxes of apples
and oranges, candy and nuts.
Chester Leighton, chief engineer
of the Chena, has been the co
ordinator of this wonderful effort
for Alaskan orphans, who range in
age from 5 to 18.
This Christmas operation starts
early in the fall, when, through
the home superintendent, the chil
dren are invited to write Santa,
and although members of the crew
may leave the Chena, they keep
faith with their Santa role by send
ing in the presents they agreed to
when they drew the children’s
names.
The Chena is due in Seward
tomorrow.
