CHILDREN AT JESSE
LEE MUDE HAPPY BY
DAY’S OUTING AT LAWING WAS
DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIES;
WILL NEVER FORGET
Til© children at Jesse Dee Ham*
were juslt about as jubilant as a bunch
of youngsters can ,be when Mr. Hat.
ten, superintendent, read them a let.
ter from E. L. Sweek, secretary of the
Seward Shrine Club, saying that the
club had made arrangements' with
the Alaska Railroad to carry the
children and teachers to Lawing and
return. A picnic at Lawing? What
child is not happy at the prosipect.
But a 'picnic such as that was, a ride
on a train, picnic all day and another
ride in the evening; it was mo^lt too
good to be true. 'For only a very few
had ever been on the train.
It was decided in accordance with j
the wishes of the men who made the
trip possible that every one could go
sxcept those who were sick and the
rery little ones. A picnic dinner and
supper for so many is no easy task to
>ut together and preparations began
is early as Monday but all was ready

j w*s ever go?” "When can we go?’
j “Why did it rain?” The answer tc

j superstitious little girl. “It rained
i because Lena killed a spider.”
When in the late afternoon it was
decided to go the next day the biggest
qitestion that cam© up was what shall
w© take to eat.” The picnic oranges
were on the table for supper but it hey
w*are quickly gathered up. Sandwiches
were made; ham, lettuce and jelly.
Forty.eight loaves of bread were uaad.
W/ein'ers were purchased <^nd with
cookies, <thi3 oranges and chocolate
bars, the lunch was completed, packed
and ready by 9 o’clock.
Two lines of girls and boys stood
on either sid»a of the tracks at the
Jesse Lee crossing facing the railroad
at 7:30 Thursday morning. At last
all wens in the cars and settled.
“My”, said Katie, eight years old
and as the train started, “The tnaes
and brush are just walking.”
The Lawing’s met the train, took
all into the trophy room where tb3 big
lion and bears, moose, caribou aind
other mounted animals made delight,
ful'shivers run up and down tbs child
ren's spines, as she told them bear
stories.

There was fishing and berry pick,
ing and what the children enjoyed
mona than anything else, a row boat.
The older boys took turns taking
different ones for boat rides and
the boat was in constant use until a
high wind late in the 'evening made
the water too rough. The little boys
loved Nellie’s dogs, Katmai and Ko_
buk, and raced thorn up and down the
beach having the timte of their lives.
The staff enjoyed Nellie’s fine coffee
and hot cakes at lunch and the wein.
ers were brought hot from her kitchen
for the children.
Poor Billy Blackjack, the only cas.
ualty of the day, fell into the lake just
abouit noon. Ho was fished out, his
clothOs hung over the stove in the
trophy room to dry and Billy wrapped
in a blanket sat on a bearskin rug.
near the stows and enjoyed his dinner
as if nothing had happened.
After noon there was more of
everything, moio fishing, more boat
riding, more berry picking, more
games and more fun. Late in the
afternoon .the childten all came into
|he trophy froom and ^anjf Then
Nellie told them more bear sitories
and tales of Alaska trails. This was
so interesting that more and more
stories and songU were called for until
supper was ready. Ham sandwiches,
cookies and candy were doled out as

everyone was hungry and in no time
every "smudgin’’ of everything edibk
was gone.
The children were playing singing
games, "Farmer in the Dell", “Did
you ever see a Lassie,’ etc, when the
train vfhistled. There was a wild
scramble for caps, coats, overshoes
and other possessions, but when the
freight had gotten the coaches on to
the main line all were ready in line
and the roll call tgiken and all were
ready to march aboard. A happy, chat,
ting, contented bunch. The song they
sang that night was very fitting
“Well this is the end of a Perfect
Day’. It. was a day that will never
be forgotten and the m/an who made
it possible for them are remembered
with grateful hearts.
