Mildred Jordan,
Interior Decorator

The costumes, for instance,
which Edna Lewis designs, would
be taken by Miss Jordan and
fitted into window picture for
which she would provide the set
ting.
Mildred Jordan didn't worry
much about whether Negro
should or should not be an inter
Tor decorator particularly. in
Peoria. Illinois. She spent no time
at all wondering if she would
get Job after she got her train
ing. Her plans were simple: she
wanted to be an interior decor
ator. She enrolled in a vocational
school to get her training. When
the four-year course was finished,
she applied for a job with the
Darling Shop in Peoria Her first
job was only an opening wedge:
she was hired by the shop as a
part-time clerk, with only some
responsibility for decorating the
shops windows. But the decor
ating responsibility grew and
along with it the satisfaction of
the Darling Shops management.
After three years and half in
Peoria, she was transferred to
Massillon, Ohio, where she assum-
ed full responsibility for window
decorations of the shop there.
The Shops, reserving the right to
make other uses of her training,
sends her to other cities in an
advisory capacity for other decor
ators, or to teach the skill to new
persons.
81 have worked with the Darling
Shops for eight years." Miss Jor-
dan observed, land | cannot re-
call any time when l was In
danger of being placed"
Perhaps Mildred Jordan's next
statement can explain this secur-
ity in her job, as she says:
Neither can I recall a time
when decorating or designing was
not my whole interest"

You win find adjustment screws

If the blades do seem dull, how

ience of the kitchen is an attach
ment for the kitchen faucet that
aerates the water as it comes from
the pipe. 1t Is so constructed that
air is drawn into the water stream
through side vents in the attach
ment. This softens the water and
makes it more sparkling.
The fresh air also eliminates the
air already trapped in the water
stream. The stream of water from
the attachment does not splash but
spreads evenly, thus using up all the
water and preventing waste.
Another advantage is that it
makes better suds because suds are
dependent on air to make the lather
from the soap and water.

Noted EthnOlOgiSt
 PrOnOunCeS LabretS Found Here Of Ancient Origin

Three stone labrets, discovered by Earl West while excavating for a root cellar at his wilderness home on Eastern Passage, were pronounced by Dr. Marius Bar beau, eminent ethnologist on the staff of the National Museum of Canada, at Ottawa, to be different from the facial ornaments former ly worn by the native Indians of Southeast Alaska, indicating the possibility of a migration of peo- ple from the north several centur- es before the arrival of the Tin gifts. This is the report brought to Wrangell by U. s Commissioner Richard Suratt, who accompanied Dr. Barbeau to the scene of the discovery.
 Taking advantage of the fl le afternoon of Thursday, and the offer of Benny Lanting's speed boat to make the trip pr Bar. beau visited Earl Vests place neal the northern entrance to the Mar rows" in what is known locally as thC IodCh llC SlNc of the old village of Chugasan al Mill Creek. Indian artifacts have been uncovered in both localities recently: Stone adzes, scrapers stone mortars and pestles rn crushing certain rocks to maae paint, knives and implements oi war
 The three small facial ornaments found by West were tied together on piece of twine Those are labrets," pronounced pr. Barbeau "and different from those worn oy the Tlingits. When a girl was a. bout fourteen,' pursued the sci. enlist, "an incision was made JUS, under her lower lip and small labret inserted. which was chan ed several times as she grew older These" he continued indicating

 Dr. Barbeau expressed surprise that no effort was being made to preserve archaeological speeiments found near Wrangell.

 By a vote of four to one, the World War II Veterans Board te- jCcted the Board of Administra- Iton's proposal that it pay back to the general fund the $350,OOO which had been advanced it for setting up shop when it was CT l. ated in the 1946 special session. Board of Administration, trying to find ways and means to meet Ter. fitorial expenses until the end of the year when new fish pack taxes start coming, had proposed the Vets pay back $175,0O0 of the SS5O,O0O on July 31 and the oth r half at the end of October. Chair man Bob Ellis of Ketchikan, En- bert Demmert of KlaWock, John Hellenthal of Anchorage and Paul Solka of the Vets Board said mo, not now" Member John M. Cross ! Of hotzebue voted to give the Board of Administration a hand Cnder the veterans act, the mon 1 ey IS to De paid back when funds are available or within four years at the most. Vets Board contends funds are not available until it has 1 processed some of it's many re- quests for bonuses and loans as provided for under the law. i Whether funds will ever be suffi- cient to meet the repayment to the Treasury remains to be seen as when $3,250,000 has been collect ed the present gross revenue tax which supplies the vets fund ex- pires. This is anticipated to be a. bout June of next year. Meanwhile, the Board of Administration was scratching it's collective head and wondering how it was going to meet the Territorial payroll after July and meet it's other obliga- tions. Whiskey tax again would take care of the July pay day. Like Omar Khayyam,, the Board of Ad- ministration had it's jug of wine What it needed was a loaf oi bread and thou oh, elusive dollar.
