MANUEL DIAZ RETURNS FROM VISIT 10 Pmumt ISLES Returning from the Philippine Islands this week was Mrs. Manuel Diaz, who has been visiting her homeland for the first time in 20 years. Mrs. Diaz and her daugh- ter, Juanita, left Juneau in June and after visiting in Seattle and San Francisco, took passage on the President Wilson for the Philip- pines. This was the second voy- age of the new luxury liner and Mrs. Diaz said that the ship was wonderful in every way. There were ' swimming ‘pools, dances and parties every afternoon and eve- ning, and the bunks in the state- rooms disappeared into the wall when a button was pushed. In the Philippines, Mrs, Diaz stayed in Manila for a few days and ‘then travelled to Cebu, where Mrs. Diaz' brother and ‘Sister live. Mrs. Diaz said that the city still ‘shows the effect of the bombing raids, but that it is gradually be- ing rebuilt. Mrs. Diaz said that most of the people have small gardens and lood isn't too scarce. She said |that both money and work wa; very scarce and that the people need clothing and shoes. Mrs, Diaz and Juanita returned to the States by air and stopped at Guam, Wake and Honolulu on the trip. Juanita, who was grad- uated from the Juneau High School last year, remained in Se- attle and enrolled in the University of Washington. in business administration. e TYEE GUEST Here from Tyee and registered at the Baranof is C.

It is the story of the Secrists, two young people from Pennsyl- ivania, and their three children, {Robert, Richard and Russell. ¢ They had teen interested in Alaska for a long time, Robert and Betty Secrist. Starting west, ?n\(g\' lived for a year in Texas. Then the war and Robert Secrist joined the Army Transport Service and chose Seattle as his station. In August, 1946, out of the ser- vice, Robert Secrist came to Al- aska to look over this country [‘w had read so much about. What he saw, he liked, and two months later his family arrived in Juneau {to help him build his home here Believe it or not, that is just (what they have done. The Secrist |.amily has built a home in Alaska board by board, nail by nail, they have done the work themselves. After nearly a year of living in lLown they learned about the land ialang the channel below Thane, Iwhich was in the public domain and open to homesteading. ' In Juneau a year ago last June, they filed on five acres, approxi- mately three-quarters of a mile from the end of the Thane road October 31, a frosty Hallowe'en they moved into their home. The froof was on, insulation finished There was still a lot to do, but the house was weather-tight and lthe family was home. All summer long they had been | making five or six trips a day !to the end of the Thane road to carry or haul their building ma- terials up the trail to their acre- yage. The Secrist boys helped and imost of the bhkoys and girls at {Thane helved. too. Robert Secrist naa uad'no pre- vious building experience. He and !his wife knew what they wanted, iclipped plans and ideas from mag- razines, then’ put them all together. { Everything had to be hauled ;nenrly a mile up the trail. It | took one trip with two people af- [xer each rafter. They carried the llong boards on their shoulders, {with pillows easing the burden. They installed their own light iplant; almost held their breath ifor the whole time it took {had made for them in town.

Secrist was in the Army Trans- port Service but his ATS does not qualify him for veterans aid. Not even as it might allow him a shorter time than the required three years prove up on his homesite. to However, this was learned in reply to the reporters’: “You must have title to your homesite by this time.” There wasn't a gripe on the part of tho Secrists about any- thing. Except, maybe, their wisi: for a road that had been promised them and the dozen or so other residents on the trail to Dupont beyend the end of the road. A road, or a helocopter. (Houe Mem- orial No. 12, introduced by Steve Vukovich during 1947 Session of the Legislature, passed and ap- proved by the Governor, asked for this road along Gastineau Chan- nel.) Working, building a house, prov- ing up on a hcmesite, has kept the Secrist family bus; Secrist was at the 20th Century until he re- and |{wo largest windows, Tz by 7 feet|cently went to work for the Alaska | Native Service. Mrs. Secrist works at Lu-Ek photograph shop. And Robert, Richard and Russell take the school bus into town every morning for school and the 8th, 6th and 1st grades. Modern pioneers, the accomplish- ment of the Secrists proves what can be done if one is willing to work, to plan, to earn a home. They've overcome Juneau's housing shortage, but they've worked hard ito do it. 1600 EMPLOYED BY FE DURING SEASON; 500 STHL WORKING Six hundred men were empioyed by the Fairbanks Exploration de- partment of Smelting Refining and Mining Company at the peak of the 1948 mining season.
