CRDER TO CEASE FIRE GIVEN OUT | AMMAN, Trans-Jordan, June 9.— (P—Premier Tewfik Abu Alhuda ustrial Relations r a meeting of the full; \ members FORREST FAMILY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ENJOY SPORTS REELS AY branch of the Na- tional Federation of Federal Em- ployees met at noon today in the Baranof Gold Room at its month- ly luncheon. | Ernie Lincoln, in charge of re- |lating and explaining legislative matters to the members, reported that the Federal Pay Act Bill is still stymied in Washington, and (that the reason for the delay in AT LUNCHEON T0D The Alaska action is believed caused by the | financial bills present- | Senate and House conferees agreed | number of ly being considered. Lincoln said | that 19 financial bills have been introduced Lincoln further reported that th-} tion is underway in an attempt fo | make it possible for Federal em- | ployees in the A 19 classification to be examined for the purpose of attaining permanent appoint- ments. Lincoln said that appli- cants for such appointments would have to meet Civil Service quali- fications, and that he will further investigate the matter when go- ing to Seattle in about a month. Fish and Wildlife color films de- picting the bird, semi-marine and fish life of Alaska were shown to following the luncheon business. The first film, “Wildlife in the Aleutians,” was highlight- ed by an excellent series of shots portraying actions of the sea otter. The second film, “Sport Fishing in Alaska,” was a composition of ac- tion shots trout and salmon | fishing in Territofy's lakes and streams.

PUTS ON DISPLAY FOR ARTS, CRAFTS The exhibit in the Alaskan Arts and Crafts window displays the ar- tistic handiwork of another talented Juneau family, the Linn Forrest family. Highlighted by variety of expres- sion, the display shows the varied ability of the junior and senior members of the family. One unit, the creative carving of the trains and guns by Steve at the age of 9, is supplemented by an original cigarette holder created by Dick at the age of 12. The balsa wood solid model airplanes were carved by Bud from specifications and according to scale. Weaving as an art dates to the very early times. Gene's display of table mats indicates weaving possi- bilities. The handcarved unit by Linn Forrest is a splendid example of originality in creating Alaskan de- signs. The table with an incised handcarved border of skunk-cab- bage is interesting; the repeating rhythmic design of the leaf and flower entwines giving beauty to the common flower. An all Alaskan motif is depicted in the carved base relief placque wherein Linn Forrest developed an interesting totemic design made up of the eagle, the bear and the whale symbols. The pencil renderings of the Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood, Ore- gon, commands interest as well as the other pencil watercolor archi- tectural designs. However, unusual interest is centered around the wat- ercolor of Chief Shakes Community House at Wrangell. Special mention should be made of the watercolor by Linn Forrest of the church in Sicily, which uni- fies thé combination of Spanish, Norman and Turkish architecture, the invadiig nations of.Sicily. This painting was,done in 1932 when he was traveling in Sicily on the Ion Lewis Traveling Fellowship from the University of Oregon. Another interesting exhibit will be in the Vic Power’s window June 24, when the junior painting group of Mary Westfall will show their paintings. - e FROM BROOKLYN, N. Y. L. A.
