AlaSka's Extension Service, and angel" of many isolated home steaders and homemakers who find living in Alaska somewhat tougher than Outside.
 Mrs. Fohn-Hansen has travelled roughly 150,000 miles in Alaska by dog team, river steamer, rail- road, automobile, airplane, gas boat-and on foot-during her 25 years in the Territory. In the early days, travel was really rugged, she says. Tn my work I had to cross the Gulf of Alaska 27 times-and I am poor sailor," she remarked. Today the air plane makes it easier"
 Lydia Fohn-Hansen came to Alaska in 1925 to be head of the Home Economics Department of the Alaska Aricultural College and School of Mines, then still an infant institution. She came from Iowa State College with a B.S. degree, three years of teaching experience and a lot of excellent common sense.
 In 1880 she transferred to the

Extension Service, and became Alaska's first Home Demonstra- tion Agent. At first people didn't know what to make of her; they'd never heard of a Home Demon stration Agent, and couldn't imag- inc why she would be helping them flor nothing"
 Her friendly personality stood her in good stead, however, and when Alaskans found out she really could teach them how to make life easier" they clamored for her services. She started with one small Homemakers' Club in Fairbanks. Now there are 40 throughout the Territory with a membership of 600. She and her assistants have also organized 50 All clubs for boys and girls with projects in cooking, sewing, can- ming and stock and poultry rais- ing.
 Mrs. Fohn-Hansen doesn't try to teach anything she can't do herself. She is an outstanding cook, a seamstress, craftsman, and even carpenter when the need arises. With the help of her staff, she has organized craft workshops

Tournament 10 Run Until Time for
 Baseball Practice

Intramural basketball will fill in the gap in Palmer High Schools sports program between the closing of inter school compe- tition in basketball and opening 0f track and baseball activities, coach Robert w. Critics said this week. The intramural sports tournament began here this week.
 Competition includes students of the junior high level through the high school ranks. Experi- enced court players are spotted through the participating teams so that no team is unequal in strength to any other, MT. Critics said. The tournament will be double-elimination type, requir- ing two losses for elimination from play.
 The games are being run off on a quarterly basis during the eighth period of each school day Two separate games, orA four teams, are played each period. The emphasis in this tournament is on total player participation, rather than outstanding basket ball ability, the coach explained.
 MT. Critics expects the tourna- ment to last through next week, at least, and it may extend longer if weather does not permit base ball and track turnouts by that time. Palmer expects to enter in terscholastic competition in both these sports activities this year.
