Programs and window displays are being planned by the Hepp nei fust and Auxiliary to help carry out the national observance this month, according to Mrs. Hazel Hamlin, auxiliary p.eai dent, and Commander Ward. Funds are being raised locally ty the auxilhry through baked fnod sales nc other p.ojects lilarned duvi he month After spending their first win ter in the northlands of Anch orage, Alaska, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bedford and family have observ ed some interesting experiences, as related in a recent letter to Bedford's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bedford, Heppner. Bill, oldest son of the Jack Bedford's, has been employed as a Geologist for the Texaco Oil Company for the past year, with headquarters in Anchorage. His business travel to oil fields around the state is almost en tirely by plane or helicopter. Mrs. Bedford, a former English teach er, does substitute work in the schools. Their three children, Julie, 9; Jill, 8, and Jack, 5, find life in the north country ex citing and full of interest in learning the winter sports. One of the Alaskan holidays in early spring is the "Fur Ren dezvous" interestingly described in letters from Mrs. Bedford and daughter Julie. She writes, "Ren dezvous is but a wonderful ling ering memory now. Bill and I took the kids down last Friday, holiday for all, and saw our first dog race. There were as many as 16 dogs in several of the teams, 12 seeming to be the most popular number. The musher's foot gear ranged from Knee-length mukluks to tennis shoes. We also watched the fur auctions. I'm sure that everyone in all Alaska must have been downtown, the crowd was hor rible. I loved the wolf and white fox furs, and was interested in the Cross Fox. The blanket toss was a big let-down, nothing authentic about it except for the "blanket," as they used men out of the crowd to hold it and just had various spectators try it. Saturday some woman or girl broke her ankle the secret to it is the way the men holding the DianKet an work together and you can imagine how volunteers don't know what to do. She continues. "We went tn the Eskimo and Indian dances. The Chilkat Indians are south eastern and their costumes and gear amounted to about 14 thousand dollars. Their dances all depicted stories. The second half of the show was Eskimo dancers from Gambell, on the furthermost tip of St. Lawrence Island, only a few miles from Siberia. Some of these people have never been off the Island before and were really intrigued by the neon lights." Other sights of interest have been the Alas kan art exhibits, viewing walrus skin houses and watching auth entic 25-mile dog races out on the trail. Winner of the last race was a local dentist who held the sweepstakes ticket worth $5,000, according to Mrs. Bedford. The Bedfords expect to spend at least one more year in Alaska. It is the hope of the Jack Bed fords that they will be able to visit with them there before the family returns to the states. Grade Children See Fire Films Films on forest fire prevention were shown to 554 elementary school students of Lexington and Heppner Wednesday by Henry Dahill, Fossil, unit forest warden of the State Board of Forestry. He reported a very good re sponse from the children. Keep Oregon Green material was dis tributed to the youngsters. Dahill said that he will make appearances in Condon, Fossil and Spray and hopes to reach 1300 children.
