Miss Corbett, during the war served with the WASPS in the Ferry Service Command, ferry- ing bombers, and is of course a skilled flyer.

Ralph Anderson, MTIC in charge of this field, has obtained two months leave and after a visit with' his mother in Juneau, will go on an extended trip to the East, expecting to return here in February. We're all boosting for you, Ralph, have yourself a grand time, but don't forget that the gang at Gustavus will k2 mighty happy when you are back here again. Ralph Nelson will take charge of the field dur- ing Anderson’s absence.

John Peterson came in the day before Christmas to spend Christ- mas with his family here. He is wintering in nearby ports because it is too hard on the boat in the little harbor here, where it must go dry when the tide is out and; the severe cold weather freezes the caulking out of the boats. the The Fleetwing swamped last week due to caulking freezing out, but is not seriously damaged, accord- ing to the skipper, Marvan Chase. Pearl Hynes, "known to all his friends as “Uncle Pearl” has wir- ed out to relatives here that hel! is in Juneau and on his way out for a visit as socn as he can get: transportation. i Charles Parker paid a brief visit to Juneau last week, going in and back on the return trip of the mailboat.

A large | beautiful box of candy artistically wrapped was under the tree for each of them but the peculiar spell- ing of the names and the hand-| |writing was entirely strange. Ques- tions were asked, queries dropped, but there seemed to be no answer to the puzzle of where the ]ovelyI gifts came from. At long last a| clue was found and chased down tot the finish and it was found that Robert Dibble, of Eugene, Ore-| gon, has arrived here to takz up| work as radic operator, filling the' vacancy left by Glen Daniels, who has returned to the States. Christmas was a most happy time at Gustavus. Christmas Eve at the airfield was the CAA personnel's Christmas party at the Dorm, and it was a gay occasion with a big Christmas tree and presents for all, and even a Santa Claus to delight| the tiny tots with his personal ap- pearance. Christmas Day at the airfield was celebrated with a big dimner, two turkeys with all the trimmings honoring the occasion. | The table was beautiful'v decorat- ed and placé cards’ announced 19 guests. Mrs. Norah Chase, who went to Juneau about ten days ago for medical care, returned here the day Lefore Christmas to the especial delight of her grandchildren and family, for it surely wouldn't be Chrlstmas if the grandmother had GENUINE MILITARY WRIST WATCH Complete with New Style EXPANSION BAND | Sensational value!
