Doors Sopened this afternoon tC an appreciative crowd of visitors to the hobby exhibit of the Jul neau Noman's Club in the Scottish Rite Temple
 Exhibits ran a long gamut from fine oil paintings to ingenious cor sages made of forest and barn. yard materials.
 One of the most original displays is that of Mrs. A. F. Zimmerman who has effected actually lovely corsages out of chicken feathers pine cones and other materials.
 One of Mrs. Zimmerman's cor Sages is a "Barnyard Special" of ribbon chicken wishbones and chicken feathers. Another is un- believably a Victory Garden Special of radishes, onions, carrots, broc- coli and garlic.
 Perhaps the greatest find" in the field of native materials for local craft work is the display of Cor gonian,' a brush-like sea growth with the appearance of petrified wood.
 This display, by Museum Curator E. L. Keithahn, shows the original state ill which Gorgonian is found and the beautiful finish it assumes when worked into jewelry.
 
 Gorgonian, Keithann declares, is found broadcast on the Alaskan sea bottom at depths of from 60 to 80 fathoms. A curse" to fisher men, Keithahn points out the ma- terial may easily be converted to value in the curio trade.
 At 8:30 o'clock this evening, Keithahn will lecture on the future of Alaska crafts.
