Beta Sigs Compare Alaska
With Life In Africa,
At Special Film Program
Kappa Chapter, Beta Sigma Phi,
'held its second meeting in April
at the home of Ruth McLean on
April 23. Dorothy Grant was co
hostess.
Plans for the annual Founders
Day Dinner were completed, and
program parts assigned.
The cultural program for the
evening meeting was under the
direction of Betty Gustafson, who
introduced her guest speaker,
Mr. Graham Ferguson, of Toronto,
Canada. __
Mr. Ferguson works with Mr.
Williard Van Dyke of Van Dyke
Productions, New York City, in
filming documentary material.
They are currently engaged in
filming White Alice operations in
Alaska.
Mr. Ferguson gave an inter
esting and amusing account of
some of the trials and tribulations
of a photographer. He then
showed films made in Africa for
the Lowell Thomas television
show.
Colorful scenes shed light on the
adventures and work of four white
men living and working at pres
ent in Africa. One man special
izes in the study of snakes and the
development of serum; two men
are hunters, and the fourth man
is an anthropologist.
The life of the famous pygmie
tribes, the cult of the Leopard
Men, and many other aspects of
the challenge and romance of
Africa, made the evening’s show
ing a real adventure.
A second treat for the evening
was a film on Alaska, provided
through the courtesy of Mr. Pearse
Walsh, which offered a vivid
study in contrasts between these
• two very different parts of the
world.
