The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-11-20
BY RUSSELL KAY

handcraft belt of the United
States is the brading and weav-
ing lore thai has developed in
the relatively short life of our
nation. Included in these tradi-
tionS is wonderful native craft
material, the palmetto frond and
the braid patterns for its, use
passed on from mother. to
daughter through successive
generations.
Commercially the palmetto
comes in long clean strips or
fronds of almost perfect color
and structure for weaving. In
its native state, single leaf may
be striped and made up into a
large sized basket. Fronds may
be purchased plain or dyed. If
gathered by the worker, they
are easily prepared for use.
And now a word about the
authors; Julia May SampN,y
born in south Alabama, came to
Florida as a child and was rails
ed in Escambia and Santa Ro-
sa counties. In 1857 she made
a survey of Florida industries
for the Florida State Chamber
of Commerce which resulted in
the publication of the Industri-
al Directory.
From l938-1941 she organized
and directed a homecraft train
ing program with the cOopera-
ton OF the Florida State Farmers
Markets and the State Depart
ment of Education. .
Viva Jane Cooke was also
born in Alabama, locating in
Florida in 1921 at Eustis. AS pro-
prictor of a gift shop and mana
ger of Farm Woman's Market
she learned much of native
home craft and became an in
Structor in this subject with the
vocational department of the
State educational system. Later
she became manager of the
Home Industries Division of the
Holly Hill State Market.
Mutual interest in home craft
brought these two capable wo-
men together, they pooled their
knowledge, searched diligently
for all available information and
have given the result of their
labor in this most interesting
and valuable work which should
have a place in the library of
every Floridian.

WRECK OF SEE-IT
 LS FIGHT AGAINST
 GOLD AND HUNGER

! Harold c. Jones of Juneau told thrilling story of wreck, cold. danger and rescue on his release from the hospital after treatmen for frostbite.
 Jones was skipper of the 45-foo fishing toat See-It, and had lief | Seattle with MT. and Mrs. Ed Peter i son of Ketchikan on November 2 for Pelican Five hours from theii destination on December ', the See-It fouled her propeller with a piece of rope and drifted ashore on Point Adolphus
 ! Shortly after the See-It went on the beach, a North wind blew up out of Glacier Bay, and the waves made total loss of the craft. Jones and Peterson were able to salvage blankets, some supplies and oil for signal fires; but couldn't get the power skift from where it was lashed topside, because the lashings were iced down.
 They built a fire on the beach and took up their cold, lonely vigil. Boats went by, but either did not see the signal smoke because of the heavy weather and icing con- ditions, CT were unable to do any thing about it. After five days, with food supplies running low, Jones decided to take the nine foot skiff and attempt the 17-mile row to Hoonah..
 The oarlocks had been lost, so they tied the oars in place, and Jones rowed off from the beach at 10 o'clock in the morning. He reached Hoonah cannery 20 hours later, 10th his skiff and himself heavily iced on the weather side after crossing the channel to the town.
 Jones was so stiff with cold and from the long hours of rowing that he was unable to get out of the boat at Hoonah and had to be lift cd ashore. His hands and feet were frostbitten.
 James Grant of Hoonah, skip per of the Alberta, made the rescue trip, and brought the party back to Juneau, where Jones was taken to the hospital.
