 The guides, Anthony Thomas, g years old, and Howard Hayes, 28, with Chief Gunner's Mate Eugene Brown of the Haida and Ensign Glenn Rollins, got the weary men across that river in an hour and a half, young Thomas and Hayes wading the glacial river chest deep with ropes to aid the survivors across.
 At eight o'clock that evening, the party made 12 mile camp with hot coffee, hot stew and five men from the Cyane waiting for them with Dr. Charles c. Smith of the Haida and a rearing fire.
 Thursday morning, up after cold night from thoroughly wetted and chilled bodies, the trek began again at six am with hot coffee and stew to give them impetus.
 At four in the afternoon that day, the party arrived at two mile camp, another spot where supporting parties had left food and camp, and rested for a half hour, arriving safely at Lituya Bay at six in the evening to spend the night in warm blankets, hot food and good shelter"
 The next morning, Haida launch 2s and Navy planes took the unfor- tunate Patterson survivors off the beach.
 Captain Bune said of the Haida and the Coast Guard, They are a wonderful bunch Of men. They treated us royalty"
 Of the young guides Anthony Thomas and Howard Hayes, and older Nels Ludwigson, all men of the Patterson crew had nothing but praise.
 Give all those men credit they said. They packed awful back loads, waded right into those cold rivers, and just kept us all going and as comfortable as possible
 Ludwigson, who was utterly ex- hausted from his efforts and suf- fering from a wrenched knee, had to be aided in from five mile camp on the trek.
 Dr. Smith, young Haida doctor just come to Alaska from San Francisco, said, Don't think those men had an easy trip. They had walked to the point of exhaustion when they came into our camp at Twelvemile beside the river. Mental depression and severe phy- scial weariness had taken a fear ful toll of strength"
 It was this river where guides and Coast Guardsmen ferried the survivors, three at a time, across 250 feet of swiftly running water ten feet deep, on a raft the party had

GARDEN APRONS
 KIND TO KNEES

For the gal who loves her gar dens, there's treasure of a gift, It's an all-enveloping apron of al- most burlap texture, with a big leather patch where she kneels in the dirt and a huge leather pocket. It has a clip for her gardening gloves, and a place for her prun- ing shears, and it should inspire any border to put forth it's best blossoms.

 For the kerchief that hesitates about taking on the hue of lipstick cd CT Irish green, or the medley
 f a flower patch or vegetable gar den, yet fingers this side of white, here's a luscious compromise in not-too-sedate pastels, again beau- tifully hand-embroidered.
 Any gals hobby can be reflected in her hanky. Skis spill across some; black sheep border another; musi- gal notes sing across a third. And there's one with horseshoe em- oroidered in the corner.

Aprons Peek Boo

It's an fashioned apron that isn't transparent, or near-so. Clear as a windshield, they stand be- tween the frock and the spatters. Sometimes, just for giddiness, they are bright red, green, blue or vel bw. or dashed with gay colored patterns. And transparent as they appear to be, they are not without guile, for they do not hide a lovely frock. and they make the wearer look like nice lollypop done up in cellophane.
