Baked for Days
Most OF the CLAW used now
comes from Lueedale, Miss. II is
common clay, with no unusual
ingredients or properties. How
ever, considerable other materi-
ais such as powdered flint must
be added to it in order to prepare
it for the intense heat Of the kiln.
Most Of the pots are thrown by
hand, but most of the figurines
are moulded. They are cooked
into biscuit form for a short while
and then the colors-mostly me-
tallic oxides-are applied by
hand. Then they are fired for
two to four days. forming the
glaze.
Peter Is constantly experiment

full colors are achieved by acct

Pieces are baked in lots of a hun

The price range of the littlt

that he has created this figure
himself because he understands
and appreciates it effortleSsly.
ANY object which aecomplishes
this may be said to have reached
the plane OF genuine art.
If our civilization too would
eventually go down and vanish
under the pines and thickets, and
il some explorer of future CEN
turtles would come delving into
Jackson county and find only a
table-full Of these little figures
and a few pieces of vases rich
with color, then the spirit Of these
little figures, the quiet symmetry
Of the vases, the technical
achievement of the coloring
would communicate as warmly
and intimately 10 him as they do
to the traveller on Highway 90
today who turns off TO see the
little showroom at the Shearwa-
ter place. And such a future ar
chaeologist would say: IT h e S e
people must have been a pretty
good sort, considering their eye
for humor and movement, and
their ability to make it live in
clay" And by extension the peo-
pie Of that day would believe
these good things Of all of US
just as all Greece is bathed for
us in the glory of the thinkers
and artists.
The most important facts of
this little Shearwater establish
ment exist in the anonymous but
worthwhile meanings of their
products-and this no doubt Is
what the Andersons believe
themselves, for like genuine ere
alive people they are more inter
ested in the work itself than in
their WI stories. Their story is
not the usual run of family stor-
les among such people Of South
ern background, but II Is a sim
pie and logical one nevertheless.
The family comes from New Or
leans, where Mrs. Anderson, now
the white haired mother, was
the daughter of James McCon-
nell, one OF the foremost Louisi-
ana lawyers. He wrote the wills
of Paul Tulane and Mrs. New
comb which endowed the colleg-
es bearine9their names. The An
derson family had a summer
home at Ocean Springs near the
mouth of Back Bay. II is on the
bay. beneath the big oaks and
pines of the coast, overlooking an
inlet used as a small~boat harbor.
Named for Gull
In 1923 the Anderson family
began to make pottery. They
named it after their boat, which
itself was named for the species
Of Understanding gulls. Even
tually IL became their business
and livelihood.
Peter Anderson is the potter.
II is he who throws the clay,
raising 1t beneath his strong. SEN
sitive hands from a formlesS blob
of clay into a vessel of symmetry
and usefulness. Watching him as
he works at his power-driven
wheel, wherein the clay rises
and opens and curves as though
by magic, one understands how
the old prophets of the Bible
could not help but draw the par
allel MANY times between this
work and the creation OF human
spirit from the dust. Peter is a
quiet man who works in dunga-
rees at the clay and kiln in the
small building which shelters
this process.
Instead of following the fam
lily tradition of law he decided to
follow his interest in art and ce-
ramies. He trained at Wayne,
Pa, under an authority, and then
studied gsazes at Alfred, N. Y.
His brother, Walter !. Anderson,

years at the Pennsylvania Acad-

Alaskan GIs to Gel Big Sum of St, 5OO,O0O If
 Senate 0kehs

In a morning session marked by stirring oratory, the House of Rep resentatives today passed to the Senate the Sl,5O0,000 Alaskan Sol diers Bonus Bill.
 No measure, since the beginning of this Seventeenth Session, has brought on such impassioned pleas, with bonus boosters having the definite edge, and economy boosters facing the toughest vote of their experience.
 When it was all over and the echoes of armed glory, debilitated treasuries and bitter personalities had died away, the vote stood at 16 to g. Voting nay were Repre- sentatives Gill, Hoopes, Linck, Pe- terson, Porter, Shattuck, Vukovich and Walsh.
 Gods Country
 Nearly every member of the House is a war veteran, or has sons in the service, or has close friends at the fighting fronts.
 I've had two sons in the service, " said Representative Peterson. One of them is still living. He doesn't want this money Let's keep this country the way it was when the boys left.-This is the only country under the American flag that is still worth a darn.-Let's keep it Gods country.p
 Answered Representative Taylor T don't want to wave the flag, but want to show tllese boys we ap- preciate what they've done. l don't want to wave the flag in front of them when they come home-1 want to lay check down in front of them"
 Said Representative Badger, talk ing the opportunity to give the tax program boost: I'm in favor of this if we know we'll have suf- ficient money in the treasury We haven't passed tax bill this session worth anything"
 Universally Recognized
 Said Representative Shattuck
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-03-09

declared, We wouldn't have had much trouble passing this bill when the Japs were in the Aleutians.' Representative Chris Hennings said: Whether that money is in the treasury or not, there will be several ways to raise it."
 Bill Is Important
 At that point in the discussion, just before the vote, Speaker Jesse Lander turned over the gavel to the bills author, Representative Stanley McCutcheon of Anchorage.
 This bill is very important" Lander declared Its important to the boys away fighting-you who have not faced enemy fire cannot know what it means. The least we can do for these boys who are giving their sweat, their blood and their lives. is to give them some compensation for the time they were away fighting and outsiders were up here replacing them in their jobs and making two or three hundred dollars. a week
 Under the bill, Alaskan soldiers who were residents of the Territory before September 16, 1940 will re- ceive S10O, plus s20 for each month of service.
 The measure now goes to the Senate.
