MORE FOSTER
TRAVELOGUE for
LIONS MONDAY
The Lions Club on yesterday
decided that one luncheon session
was not enough to hear all about
Don C. Foster’s two-month trip
aboard the North Star, so he was
asked to go right on with the pro
gram next Monday. Foster hopes
that the color slides he took will
be back by then, for showing.
Foster, Alaska Native Service Di
rector. left Juneau May 11 and Mt
Edgecumbe May 15 on the ANS ves
sel North Star for the annual voy
age to the Aleutians, Bristol Bay
St. Lawrence Island and Nome. He
returned July 17.
Especially interested in the Aleu
1 tian Islands, Foster was glad thai
installation of oil tanks gave the
partj more than the usual time ir
that area. He took every possible
occasion to talk to the old-timers
learning that the Aleutians once
contained a population of from

BLENDED WHISKEY jas. .Barclay & co. limited, peoria, ill.
35,000 to 50,000 persons. The oldsters
I have it that the Japanese deci
1 mated that population, long before
\ the arrival of the Russians and the
Scandinavians.
Foster told of the long domina
tion by the Greek Orthodox Church,
which now has but one priest,
Father Hatovisky.
"There has been no strong lead
j ership to take the place of that
formerly provided by the church,"
Foster said. "One of our most im
portant problems, through Native
Service schools, is to develop real
leadership. Without it, the Aleuts
are too easily influenced by any
one.”
Foster deplored the lack of re
sources for the average village. The
blue fox, formerly the main source
of income, used to sell for $50 a pelt
but now is worthless. Except for sea
sonal work in scattered canneries,
beachcombing must supply food, as
there is little besides some reindeer,
rabbits and ptarmigan. Many fami
lies average $000 or less in yearly
income.
Even so, Foster was surprised tc
see how clean the homes are in
every Aleut home, with one excep
tion. "Unalaska is completely de-1
moralized and spent by the liquor
interests,” he commented.
I
He spoke of the Bristol Bay fish
ermen “fighting on the beach dur
ing the Harry Bridges union dispute,
instead pf fishing during the finesi
king salmon run in 20 years.”
Eskimos on St. Lawrence Island
feel about the same as the rest ol
Alaska in their attitude toward the
Korean situation, Foster reported
"Like the rest of Alaska, they try
to go about their work, believing
that if war is to come, it will, and
they will do all they can to be
ready.”
As to modern innovations, he be
lieves it is a case of the old versus
the new: “The young men say
pretty good,’ the old men say 'not
so good’," one 78-year-old Eskimo
told him.
Foster named Archie Demmert.
“old Charlie's son from Klawock,"
as doing an exceptionally fine job
of teaching at Gamble.
“On one clear day,” Foster con
cluded, “we could see Uncle Joe’s
shoreline. It looked very cold and
forbidding.”
Next week, the ANS director will
jyjeak particularly about Nunivak
Island, and Tanunak on Nelson Is
land, which is north and west of
Bethel.
Acting President Carl Rusher
asked the Rev. Walter Soboleff to
give highlights of his recent trip,
so the former Lions Club secretary
told of speaking at conventions In
Los Angeles, Pasadena. Chicago and
Ocean Grove, before going to Iow.i
and Wisconsin,
•He flew from Chicago to Knox
ville, Tenn„ on his first, visit to the
deep south, but declared that ha
first transcontinental flight home
ward bound was the best of all
From Chicago to Seattle by Strato
liner, thence to Juneau by Pan
American clipper. Soboleff made thi
Chicago-Juneau trip in 14 hours.
His young "cub” Sascha, was a
guest at the weekly luncheon meet
ing in the Baranof Gold Room
visiting Lions included Dr. Kenneth
Marshall, a Longview, Wash., den
tist, and Max Penrod, former Ju
neauite recently of Mt. Edgecumbe
and now transferred back here.
Other guests were Jacob Hanson ol
Hammond, Ind., and Salvation Army
Lt. Norman Steinig.
William Matheny presented at
tendance awards to several Lions
who had been unable to attend the
recent installation banquet at which
a number of presentations were
made.
HISS ESTHER SELL HAS
BUSY THREE WEEKS AS
GUEST OF BLACKWELLS
Her first trip to Juneau in thir
teen years has kept Miss Esther
Sell and Mr. and Mrs. Vance Black
well, whom she is visiting, busy for
the last three weeks.
Miss Sell was first in Juneau
when her young nephew, Mike
Blackwell was three months old
Her trip to Juneau has included
much informal entertaining — and
seeing young Mike assist at early
mass at Trinity Episcopal Church
m Sunday.
Sister of Mrs. Blackwell, who was
Henrietta Sell before her marriage,
Miss Sell is an X-ray technician and
her home is in Chicago.
While she has been in Juneau she
has been guest of honor at lunch
eons, cocktail and dinner parties—
such a busy visitor that she and her
sister have had little time for the
family visiting they had expected
to do. She will leave Friday for her
home in the east . . . and hopes she
will be back in Juneau before an
other 13 years.
