ing Sea in the Arctic making her I
collection of paintings for the
book. She claims Anchorage as
her headquarters and “Alaska my
(home.”
She is presently seling her book

Federal Building Seal
Stirs Local Inquiry
In answer to many inquiries as '
to the meaning of the bronze seal
recently placed on the front of j
the new Federal Building, we in
terviewed David Nease, custodian
of the building, and learned that
this is one of two plaques which
will grace the building, and are
the two sides of the Great Seal
of the United States of America.
This seal was adopted in 1782,
and was designed by Will Barton.
The reverse side, which is now
up. is a pyramid signifying
I strength and duration. The eye
over it and the motto alludes to
I the many and signal interpositions
of Providence in favor of the
American cause. The date under
this is that of the Declaration of
Independence, and the words un
der it signify the beginning of
the new American era which com
mences from that date.
We will tell you about the ob
verse side when it is installed.
