Much Interest Manifest
In Natural History Exhibit
The Homer Society of Natural
History reports that there were
<i()7 visitors to the exhibit room
of the society during the annual
Homer Winter Carnival and that
on the strength of those visits the
membership committee chairman
ed by I' rancis Thorn signed up
over 100 new members.
T le exhibition displayed many
varieties of antiques, Alaskan
rocks, native artifacts and an out
standing collection of American
and foreign coins and paper mon
ey. A native-made parka, over
100 years old, attracted attention
from adults and children alike.
One of the first typewriters made
by the Remington Typewriter Co.
was a curio number. The machine
still functions well.
An early model phonograph
with cylinder records provided
musical interest and entertain
ment with many of the melodies
popular in the 1000’s.
I
On exhibit was a crab which
no marine biologist has been able
to identify. Petrified woods and
ivory collections, loaned for dis
play by .Miss Kuniee Berglund
and Harry and Barbara Ander
son, were well received. Native
basketry and a New Zealand col
lection of carvings including
masks and figurines of wood add
ed an interesting point to the ex
hibit. Jewelry, gem stones, furs
and ceramics all added to the
color and interest in the room.
The goal of the Society of Na
tural History is to construct and
operate an historical museum. The
land site for the construction has
been donated by Sam Pratt, pres
ident of the Society.
Regular meetings of the organ
ization are held on the first and
third Tuesdays of each month at
designated homes of the mem
bers.
