TOUR IS "BONANZA"
FDR KRS^ GRUENING
Mr.-. Ernest G evening, while shop
ping in Portland, Oregon, was in
terviewed by a reporter for the Port
land "Oregonian,” as follows:
Mrs. Ernest Gruening, in Port
land this week on her way to the
western governors’ conference at
Denver, discovered what she con
siders two “real bonanzas" for the
governor’s mansion in Juneau—ny
lon curtains and curtain shades
which are “absolutely impervious to
light.”
She hadn’t realized either "bon
anza" existed—and is especially de
lighted to obtain the shades, be
can *• Alaska’s daylight nights (un
i 11 p.m.) occasionally bother
guests.
A Alaska’s “first lady” since 1930,
Mrs. Gruening has found upkeep
of home furnishings for the 14
rooRi, eight-bath Southern colonial
type mansion the major shopping
problem.
Selection of the furnishings which
>v now carried only in Juneau
hardware stores, is inadequate. A
chair, to be recaned, lias to take
two boat trips.
Additional fruits of her home
furnishings shopping expedition
here were seven lamp shades, a
"beautiful” chair nnd slip-covering
materials. (There was a hat. hand
b'v, and folding umbrella, too—
the e on a different list.)
She confessed that the bulk of
hopping time went to Christmas
toys for her three grandsons, Clarke,
Winthrop and Bradford, who also
live in Juneau. Also for holiday
time were plastic reindeers, unob
t; nable there.
Many children, in addition to
grandsons, frequent the large white
house which was built in 1010. The
top floor is a day nursery, which
she assisted in organizing during
the war. Now run on a co-operative
ha is, each youngster's mother
senes on the staff one day each
two weeks. •
Flowers in the grounds surround
ing the man ion include, of course,
forget-me-nots, the Alaska flower.
And Senators Morse, Saltonstnll
.md Hunt were amazed to see my
ro’-es cn their visit last month.”
Mrs. Gruening said roses are dif
ficult to bring through winters
there, with alternate freezes nnd
thaws, but that she lias hers sunk
in enormous pots around the flag
| pole.
Also frequent in Juneau gardens,
she said, are spirea, gladioli, dah
lias, lilies, Michaelmas daisies and
peonies.
Major gardening development in
recent years, she believes, has been
with vegetables.
During the years of victory gar
dens, Juneau residents discovered
they could grow vegetables despite
j heavy rains and the poor drainage
conditions through guidance of a
i USDA expert, who conducted an
educational program on special fer
tilizers and built-up rows "for good
drainage and aeration.” “Now ”
she says, “vegetable gardens tlour
| ish.”
Mrs. Gruening had warm praise
! for the chamber of commerce group
ho toured Alaska last summer.
"They charmed Alaskans and made
us all feel that we wanted to visit
Portland."
