By BETHA DIGREE
Sunday, September 7, was a
<iay of celebration for Margaret
Lightfoot, Gene Sundberg, and his
con Philip.... It was the birthday
day of all three,.. .Philip was two
years old, but we didn’t ask Mar
garet and Gene 'to tell us how
many years they have lived
not too many, we are sure.
Phyllis (Gene’s wife and Margar
et’s daughter) was hostess at a
birthday buffet dinner which was
held at Margaret’s home... Other
guests present were Bill and Lil
lian Lamme, Ruth Arneson. Lewis
and Marilyn Lyle, Glenace Sund
herg and Connie Dandeneau.
Many Happy Birthdays to Margar
st, Gene and Philip ....
That man is in town again... A.
L. Sienko, Internal Revenue Ser
vice agent from Anchorage... We
don’t know whether that gleam in
his eye is because he caught some
one who has been evading tax pay
ments, or if he was thinking of
past and future hunting trips..,.
Whichever it is, we are still happy
that he didn’t pay us an OFFICIAL
visit.
“He is a handsome, healthy,
happy baby.just wonderful”
... .That was John Fletcher’s des
cription of his young grandson.
Skip, Jr. John (manager of the
Orpheum Theatre) returned Tues
day after a short visit with son
Skip and daughter-in-law Marie in
Seward.Mrs. Fletcher remain
ed in Seward to manage the
theatre while Skip and Marie go
on vacation.
When Millie Muller was asked
how she and her husband, Walt

brating”.But they did mark
the occasion with dinner at the
Town Club, followed by the show
at the Beachcombers-Congratu
lations to both of them.

Recipe of the Week
A PEACH OF AN IDEA
m
mmmm
By Betty Barclay
With peaches now in season, here is a dessert idea the busy home
maker will want to know about—a luscious Coconut Cream Peach
Cake, made with instant pudding.
Fresh sliced peaches and a sponge layer from your grocery store
are called for in this treat that is perfect for summer because it
requires no cooking and is easily prepared. It’s excellent, therefore,
to meet such emergencies as unexpected guests or an avalanche of
teen-agers descending upon you.
Coconut Cream Peach Cake
1% cups light cream
1 package Jell-0 Coconut
Cream Instant Pudding
1 8-inch sponge cake
1 cup sweetened, sliced peaches
Pour light .cream into mixing
bowl. Add pudding mix and beat
slowly with egg beater just until
well mixed, about 1 minute. Let
stand to set—takes 5 minutes.
Cut sponge layer horizontally
to make 2 layers. Stir filling un
til creamy. Spread between layers
and over top of cake. Chill about
1 hour. Just before serving, gar
nish with sliced peaches and
whipped cream or coconut, if de
sired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Nursery School
Will Be Started
Plans are now being formulated
to open a nursery school in Kodi

Titled the Creative Playschool,
the nursery is being started by
two ladies, Mrs. Ursula Strash
and Mrs. Mary Cornelius. Th^

ent interest in the community for
such a service. Hours will be from
9 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. daily, Monday

developing their creative ability,
and to provide guidance for their
social adjustment, intellectual
growth and independence. The

be restricted, to more effectively
carry out the program. The school
is to be nom-denominational.

brushes and paper, as well as
