I made a hobby out of hat/5.

in buying a few
differently
shaped hat
shells and then
trimmingthem
myself. This
proves a con
venience for
me, and it can
be fun and
thrifty for
any woman.
For in*
u „ , stance, take
Hann, Szewczyk that old black
sailor you’ve had for years. You
can do wonders with it merely by
folding a 3-inch white'moire rib
bon (selvaged edges showing) and
making a tailored bow at the
front. Cut your band at the back,
and sew snaps at each end.
Do this with several different
colored ribbons. You’ll find you
can change the entire appearance
of the hat merely by changing the
bands.
Keep your Eversharp Pencil
handy to jot down clever ideas
when you find them. Here’s a good
Eversharp idea:
# Stitch sections of narrow elas
tic inside those changeable hat
bands and you’ll have something
that can firmly hold in place any
color artificial flowers you want to
insert inside the band. Change the
flowers and you have a new hat.
Silver coins on red grosgrain or
clusters of pearls on pale blue rib
bon are effective. An assortment
of all these items can be kept on
hand, and you’ll find them in any
accessory store or 5-and-10-cent
store.
One of the delights in making
your own hats is that you can
transport your hobby when you
travel.'In any community any
where in the world (I know from
my tours) you can find trinket
shops to supply your needs.
I could suggest a thousand tipa,
hut that would take the fun out of
it for you. The quality of your re
sults depends solely on your own
tastes and cleverness, and the sky
ia the limit.
No matter how slim your budg
et, re-trim your hats, and you can
own 109.

SCIENTISTS LEAVE
FOR THIRD LOOK
AT JUNEAU ICE CAP
For the third successive year, a
group of scientists left Juneau
recently to continue the Juneau
Ice Research Project atop the Ju
neau ice field, fifth largest in
North America. The expedition
will be supplied through air drops
and also by the Tenth Rescue
Squadron, which plans to land on
the ice field.
The scientists expect to deter
mine, at the end of this third ex
pedition, whether more annual
investigations are necessary, or
whether less frequent observa
tions will be needed. They also
will decide the practicality of a
possible mid-winter field trip to
the area, to be made either this
year or next.

CANADA AND ALASKA
CONSIDER PLAN
FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC
A reciprocal trade agreement,
that would permit Canadian
trucks to drive over the Haines
Cut-off to Haines without buying
Alaskan license plates, is under
stood to be under discussion be
tween Canadian and Alaskan
governmental officials. Alaskan
truckers, under an agreement ex
isting now, drive the length of
the. Alaska Highway without pur
chasing Canadian plates for then
trucks.
Canadian governmental heads
from the Yukon Territory are
more than anxious to work out
plans for the development of the
Cut-off for year-around use. How
ever the project must be conduct
ed with joint use of Yukon Terri
tory and British Columbia funds,
and that poses a problem. Brit
ish Columbia stands to gain little
from helping maintain the Haines
Cut-off, since the road passes
through -a remote and sparsely
settled area of that territory.
