P, Jenne cabin, assembling more than 75 guests for the event. Gathering in groups to talk over “way-back-when-days,” the pioneer Alaskans enjoyed an ideal summer sunset over Favorite Channel. Buf- fet supper was served in the cabin | tp the scores of guests who were present for the evening. Eponsored by the Pioneers Aux- iliary, the affair provided opportun- ity for several non-affiliated guests to apply for membership either in the Auxiliary or in the Pioneer lodge. Action on the applications will be taken at the meetings next month. 2 CLARENCE RANDS WILL ENTERTAIN AT BRIDGE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Rands are to be hosts this evening at a bridge party to be given at their home on Seventh Street.
