Bank officials T. A. McKeever
and Robert A. Sheffield, were
served at a dinner honoring the
opening of the new $4 million
Capitol Life Center i]p the Colo
rado city on Sept. 2G^
Grizzly bear. Alaskan king
crab, caribou, moose, salmon
and trout were served to IOC
Denver business and civic lead
ers at the affair, which led off
with cocktails chilled with
20.000 year old ice from the
Portage glacier.
McKeever and Sheffield,
both vice-presidents of the An
chorage branch of the Matanus
ka Valley Bank, conceived the
idea of the Alaskan dinner dur
ing a conference with Sheldon
M. Kingsted, the insurance
company’s representative to
the 49th state. Kingsted, assis
tant vice-president of Capitol
in charge of investments,
makes frequent trips to Alaska,
an increasing investment cen
ter for the company.
Making the trip to Denver to
appear as guest speaker at the
banquet was Lowell Thomas,
Jr., who narrated his film.
“Alaska — America’s Brightest
Star.’’ The Denver Post describ
ed the movie as covering
“everything from scenery to
industry in the new state.”

Chef Leo Gschwend, who di
rected the preparation of the
Alaskan feast, said people came
back for seconds on everything
except the whale blubber, ser
ved on toothpicks and dipped
in seal oil. One newsman said
“It tasted like suet, looked like
suet and was as tough as suet.”

cabbages, a huge, sprawling

salmon weighing about 50

CONTEST NEARS
Little more than two weeks
remain in which to submit
slogan and emblem entries in
the Alaska State Centennial
Commission contest now being
conducted, according to a re
minder issued by the commiss
ion this week.
The contest, which closes
Nov. 30, offers $1,000 to the per
son submitting the winning
emblem entry for the 1967
event, and $300 to the person
submitting the winning slogan
entry.
The executive director of the
commission, Bob Arnold, said
the emblem and slogan desig
nated as official would be used
on medallions, pins, and publi
cations issued in conjunction
with the Centennial.
Arnold said interest in the
contest was apparently high,
with large numbers of entries
from throughout the state. For
those not familiar with the de
tails of the contest, he sug
gests writing Box 1421, Juneau,
or checking at a local school.
