Homer celebrated the Fourth of
July in the usual way with a big
Community dinner at Kachemak
Bay school house. The table was set
cafeteria style on the lawn and
there were 44 guests in all. The
participants were carried from one
side to the other in cars belonging
to Mr. Betchel and Mr. Dietz. There
were several contests for the amuse
ment of all. Lenus Westman sang
several songs which were greatly
appreciated.
Lee Hancock was a visitor for a
few days being the guest of Law
rence Slavin. A dance was given in
his honor at the Homer school.
Miss Marian Richardson has gone
to Anchorage for a visit.
Mrs. C. W. Harrington and Mary
Jane made a business trip to Star
isky and incidentally took in the
Fourth at Ninilchik with the Ero
Walli’s. While in Ninilchik they
were the guests of Mrs. Alyce An
derson. They report and enjoyable
time.
Mrs. Nielson entertained at a din
ner recently for her son Stanley on
his 20th birthday. The tables were
set on the lawn and there w^s lots

standing up.

ENGINEER TO SURVEY
GLACIER RECESSION
To investigate the recession of
Grand Pacific Glacier in Glacier
Bay, and possibilities of develop
ment there of a tourist base or
other development, J. P. Ford, Di
vision Engineer of the Department
of Public Works of Canada, will
arrive in Juneau August 15, said
the Juneau Empire.
The Governor has been invited
to accompany Mr. Ford on the
voyage. M. Wheeler, general man
ager of the White Pass Route, is
also expected to make the trip.
The Grand Pacific Glacier ice
front, which is shown on all ex
isting official maps as being on the
American side of the International
Boundary, was discovered two
years ago to have receded until it
is entirely on the Canadian side, !
and in its wake has been left a
sizeable glacial moraine. Mr. Ford
has made one trip there since
that time and his report was so
interesting to his government that
he is making the second voyage.
Death came to Mrs. Augusta
Feldman, wife of a pioneer hard
rock mining man of Fairbanks
Creek, last week, according to the
Fairbanks News-Miner. The de
ceased was overcome by a heart
I attack while picking berries.
