PAGE SIX THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA -~ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1945 HOBBY SHOW IS SCHEDULED FOR HERE ON JAN. 18 A hobby show of outstanding quality and variety will take place on Thursday afternoon and evening, | January 18, at the Scottish Rite Temple, sponsored by the Juneau Woman’s Club and directed by Miss Alice Brandebury and members of her committee The afternoon hours are from 3 to 6 o'clock during which time a silver tea will be served. Evening hours are from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock with E. L. Keithahn giving a talk at 8:30 o'clock on “Alaska’s Future in Crafts . Mrs. R. B. Lesher and Mrs. George Folta have charge of the tea in the afternoon. Members of the committee assisting Miss Brandebury are Mrs. Jack Fletcher, Mrs. Joe Werner and Mrs. Harold Foss. Several men and women, in addition to ‘committee members, are giving many hours of their time and talent in arranging for the various exhibits, which in general are planeed to show the various, steps necessary to produce finished models in all the crafts from which items are being shown. A rare and beautiful collection of hand-made and home-made dolls are to be exhibited. The Bo- tanical Club, with special credit ln“ Miss ‘Ann Coleman for enthusiasm | and assistance, is planning an ex- tensive display of the flora of, Southeast Alaska. Men and women who can carve in various mediums, or who wish | to learn to carve in wood, stone, fvory or marine growths, will be able to spend fascinating and profitable hours studying the work of local craftsmen, who will show their mediums in different stages of completion. Tools used, biblio-| graphies from which instruction | bedspreads, etc., will be shown. | Painted furniture and toys in peasant fashion will open a field of possibility to those who would like to spend their leisure hours in adding gay touches to their homes, making playrooms out of basements, or doing smaller and |less ambitious bits of painting. Henry Harmon is doing a splen- did work in crafts in the Juneau schools, and the opportunity for 'adults in the community has barely skimmed the surface. It is hoped that the hobby show may cause the residents of the Gastineau Channel to begin to explore the 'possibilities in”’ this community. Mexico has its Taxco, New Mexico and Taos, and has its Santa Fe Alaska could have its Juneau if the possibilities here were seriously developed, in the opinion of the present craftsmen, who have care- fully surveyed the material at ha and the uses to which it can put Juneau—Mecca of tourists by the thousands before the war—will be- come an even greater tourist center after the war and everyone who comes will be interested in sou- venirs, not mementoes which read “Connecticut,” or “Ecuador,” but authentic Alaska crafts, say mem- bers of the committee. be THREE SPEAKERS FOR (HAMBER AT NOON TOMORROW Three guest speakers are on the list tomorrow for the regular weekly meeting of the Chamber of Com- | merce in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room.
