Douglas and Seward Womens’ Clubs
First Prize in Community Achievement
Mrs. William C. Erwin, Alaska
Federation of Women’s Clubs
president, has announced that the
Douglas Island Woman’s Club
won first place in Class A and the
Seward Woman’s Club first prize !
in Class B in the Community j
Achievement Contest sponsored
by the Sears Roebuck Foundation.
Each club will receive $200 cash
prize. Juneau won second place in
Class A and Anchorage second
place in Class B. These winners
will each receive a cash prize of j
$100. Class A is under 75 members
and Class B is over 75 members.
Both first prize winners had the
same number of points, hence na
tional judges will be asked to se
lect the sweepstakes winner for
Alaska. Their decision will be an
nounced at the A.F.W.C. conven
tion in Juneau May 4 and 5. This
sweepstakes winner will receive
an additional $100.
Mrs. Vernon Forbes, Fairbanks,
Mr. Harold Butcher, Anchorage,
and Dr. Malcolm Sweet, Juneau,
were the three judges and spent
many hours grading the 10 entries.
Other cities participating besides
the four winners were: Homer,
Sitka, Hamilton Acres (Fair
banks), Skagway, Nome Home
Arts Club, and the Seward Ju
niors. We quote from a letter from
Mr. Butcher: “Your groups should
be congratulated for industry,
skill and farsightedness in this
! praiseworthy effort.”
Douglas Island chose house
numbering as their project. Sew
ard had 12 projects, the major
one being to move the present city
dump and make it into a park.
Both clubs’ scrapbooks will be en
tered in the national contest eom
j peting with all 48 states. The state
winners of Class A and B in this
final judging will each receive
$10,000. The grand sweepstakes
winner of these two winners will
1 receive an additional $10,000. The
Sears Ruoebuck Foundation is to
be congratulated for its interest
in community betterment and for
the sponsoring of this contest,
which ran from March 1, 1954 to
March 1, 1956.
Juneau’s project was compiling
and indexing a “Bibliography Al
askana.” Anchorage chose a his
torical play woven around the
early history of Alaska.
Mrs. Robert Atwood was the
Alaska chairman of the contest
and to her goes the credit for en
listing the interest of 11 clubs out
I of 15. This gave Alaska the high
est percentage of entries of any
state. Of the 11 entering the con
test, 10 completed the project.
Mrs. Erwin and the other fed
1 eration officers were greatly
pleased with the interest and en
thusiasm shown in this project.
Mi's. Theodore Chapman, gen
eral Federation president, says:
“In this contest everyone is a win
ner. Whether you receive a cash
award or not, your club and your
community are winners because
your community is better, more
law-abiding, more prosperous,
safer, more God-like.”
Boy Walks A Mile With
Arrow Stuck In His Skull
LUTON, England, (if>—A brass
pointed arrow fired into the air
by a playmate came down into \
11-year-old Stephen Brown’s head
and penetrated one inch into his
brain. .
Stephen calmly walked nearly
a mile to the nearest drug store
and asked the proprietor, “Can
you get this out, please?”
The boy, with the arrow still
sticking out of the top of his skull,
was taken to a hospital. Doctors
said his condition was satisfactory
and the arrow would be removed
after an X-ray examination.
