Bartenders Bring
Happiness lo
Christmas morning at the Min
fit Id Home began with wide-eyed
silence upon the arrival of Santa
there and gradually grew' into a
squealing bedlam of happiness as
one by one the presents for each of
the thirty children were opened. |
Cliff Gardner officiated as San
ta for the annual bartender’s un
ion Christmas party for the Hem?.
Each year the bartenders take the
letters to Santa Claus from the
children and do their best to ful
fill the various requests.
Little Jerry got the red wagon
he wanted. Billy stood quietly pa
tiently waiting for his boxing
gloves that didn’t shew until the
last.
Dells were popular and tenderly
carried about by little girls. For
all the boys were a punching bag
and a sled; lor all the girls, a doll,
house and a sled.
•Thank you, Santa”
The children kept reminding each
other to say (‘Thank you, Santa
Claus” as the gifts were distrib
uted.
An unscheduled gift had arrived
from • Mrs. James P. Channlng of
the CAA at Gustavus. It arrived
Monday by PNA and was addres
sed to Cliff Gardner. Since it was
a large lovely doll, he knew that
it wasn’t for him so it went to
the Home along with a billfold and
stationery that was in the same
package.
Those making the early morning
expedition were Mrs. Gardner, Cliff
Nordenson, Harry Blake, Red Fee,
Bob Norman, Bob Churchill, Paul
Urich, May and Buz Femmer,
Grassy Low, Eleanor Corbett and
Grace Zufall.
An uncertain moment occurred
when upon leaving Santa had
trouble finding the car keys to
Gordon Kanouse’s car which he
had borrowed for the occasion.
Someone asked, “Say, Santa, have
you lost the keys to your reindeer?”
Gardner Is almost eligible for the
Santa Claus union. He officiated
at the Baranof Hotel party Sunday
night, at the Minfield Home yes
terday and loaned himself to the
Kiwanis club later yesterday morn
ing to visit the children In the
hospital wards here.
Deer Aren't Dumb;
Bob Repn Knows
Bob Regan of Idaho Inlet plant
ed a lot of potatoes this year—not
because he’s ro Irish that he 11 eat
them. all. He has friends that don’t
know they’re Irish in a pinch, but
when his hungry four-footed friends,
are driven down from the hills to
Idaho Inlet when the heavy snows
come, they eat his extra potatoes
and some grain provided by the
Territorial Sportsmen, Inc.
In a recent letter to the Sports
men, Regan reported that "the po
tato crop was pretty good this year.”
Skinny, the first deer that Regan
found on his doorstep six years ago,
was the first to show his face when
recent heavy snows came. A few
days later another four v.ho’d made
Iadho Inlet their winter home, show
ed up.
Wrote Regan, “That leaves four
more regulars to come home.’’
The limited population of Idaho
Inlet will not tolerate any dogs. . .
and only one cat, because during the
winter the Sitka deer who have
found haven in this friendly little
community of a dozen persons and
return year after year to their
friends.
During the winter of mutual need j
—when the deer need food, and |
when isolated persons appreciate the j
confidence of wild creatures that1
poke their heads through an open j
door or window, a fellowship of con- !
fidcnce is bora.
Says Regan, ‘‘they never come j
down until the snow drives them
to the beaches. But over the years,
the same deer come here with con
fidence of protection. They get it.
They bring their shy friends who
stay farther up the beach, but we
find the midnight footprints around
the feeding stations. Our deer aren’t
any WPA deer because just as soon
at the snows go enough so they can
go on their own, they’ll flick their
tails and go on their own. We never
see them in summer.”
Regan told a story of an unwel
come hunter at Idaho Inlet who
thought he was trailing a deer until
he came back on his own tracks to
discover the deer had been trailing
him! Could have been Skinny, the
wise one.
VICE COST RISES
SINGAPORE — (fl*—'The cost of
vice is increasing in Singapore.
Young girls and women are going
up in price on the market.
Racketeers are paying as high I
as $550 for the purchase of a 17
year-old girl for prostitution pur- ■
poses. Plenty of easy money and the
soaring cost of living have resulted
in increased sales of women by
poorer families.
“We cannot wipe out prostitu
tion,” said an anti-vice officer,
“but we can make things difficult
for the operators.” There have been 1
many cases of girls under 18 used
for prostitution. Reports tell of 14
and even 7-year-old girls found in
brothels. They had been sold into
prostitution.
Alaska Has 1 Golf
Course for Army:
Report to Senate
Washington. Dec. 26—iapi—
Reporting that the Army has 41
golf courses at different overseas
b.ise-. a Senate Armed Services
subcommittee has questioned
whether they are an unnecessary
luxury.
1 The subcommittee on prepared
ness. which has been doing a
watchdog job on the multi-billion
tidier defense program, said Tues
day that A] my goli courses are
also numcrou 5 in this country, but
It c'id not ray how many there
are.
It noted that five of the eight
Army tmining centers visited by
its in "r- igators had golf courses.
Nearby Fort Belvolr, Va., had two,
one an 18-holc layout and the
other nine.
The report said the 41 overseas
golf courses included 18 in the
European command, 17 in the Pa
cific, five in the Caribbean com
mand and cne in Alaska.
The Senate group sharply criti
cized what it called waste in some
Aimy activities but used softer
terms in discussing recreational
facilities.
“The committee docs not ques
tion the need for adequate diver
sionary activity as necessary to
fester good morale,” the report
said. "However, particularly in re
gard to the golf courses, we ques
tion whether the outlay and over
head is wholly justifiable In terms
cf utilization.”
The Senate group called some fa
cilities “over-elaborate” and asked
the Army to “review its recreation
al program and carefully deter
mine if the advantages gained in
terms of morale offset the spend
ing of public funds for the inci
dentals of construction and main
tc nance.”
Nielsen master, arrived and depart
ed from Juneau Monday night
bringing 11 here and taking out six.
From Seattle: Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
W. Gabdard, Mrs. Hilda Hann, Faye
Johnson, Patricia Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles leemon, Mrs. John
Museth, Mrs. Jesse Mills. Mrs. Mar
nel Recklinghausen and Valeric.
To Sitka: James and Lola Young,
C. A. Krantz.
To Seward: Dorothy Adams, Mr.
and Mrs. Glenn Housley.
Young ZMerman
Drowns on Way
ilome for Christmas
HULL, England, Dec. 26—Ml—A
young fisherman who tried to swim
home for Christmas after weeks at
sea was given up for lost today.
He was Richard Hatch, 18, of the
trawler Borella, just in from the
North Sea. The boat arrived here
Tuesday night, but had to anchor to
await a favorable tide for docking.
Informed of the prospective six
hour delay, Hatch—who,had radioed
his parents he would be home for
Christmas—jumped overboard and
started swimming. He failed to reach
the shore several hundred yards
away.
ARC Turns Down
Sid on Bridge
Only one bid, for $326,476.50, was
received by the Alaska Road Com
mission for construction of a bridge
on the East Fork of the Toklat river
in Mt. McKinley National Park and
was turned town as being "far in ex
cess of engineers’ estimates.”
The sole bid was entered jointly
by the W. A. Smith Construction Co.,
of Kansas City, Mo., and Brown and
Root, of Texas.
A. F. Ghiglione. head of the ARC,
said the contract would probably be
re-advertised.
