THREE MAJOR CLUB ACTIVITIES ARE
 PLANNED FOR TOWN

If the outline of summer activi- ties for Valdez young folks, dis cussed at the May 8 meeting at the Valdez Gymnasium, is car rled out, the normal teen plaint heard around town this summer is going to be, "There's so much to do, l can't decide what to do."
 The meeting, called and pre- sided over by Harry Marlowe, territorial highway patrolman stationed in Valdez, brought out the fact that there were no less than three major activities plan ned for the summer, as we'll as several minor ones.
 When Mr. Marlowe asked for suggestions for summer activities for Valdez youngsters, M. L. Brown outlined plans for the Val dez Ice Worms, teen club recently formed. His plan was heartily ap- proved by the 70 parents who at tended the Monday meeting, and he had an additional $50 work ing fund and the promise of a club building, before the meeting ended. .~.e.<
 Dr. Kenneth Ham explained his plans for the re-opening of the Tillicum Club as a recreation cen ter. Dr. Ham said painting and decorating at the club is now in progress. Ping-pong and shuffle- board equipment are now ready for use, and the piano has been tuned in preparation for the clubs opening. The need for funds for this work has set back opening plans somewhat, but Dr. Ham said the club would soon be ready to use.
 Rev. Richard Teeter explained his plans for a proposed hobby and craft shop. He said he ex- pected to have a building, donat- ed recently by the Valdez Wom- ems Civic Club, moved to cen tral downtown location this wee. Frozen ground and sncEv h. prevented the structures being moved earlier.
 Reverend Teeter said there would not be many alterations required on the building, and it should be ready to open in the near future. He plans to go to Anchorage in early June, to take a 1O-day course in lapidary and gold work. These courses are to be included in the crafts work offered at the recreation center.
 Miss Mable Anderson was re- quested to tell about the work she has been doing with a group of young girls. She plans a sum- mer's fun for them that will in clude cooking, sewing, photog- raphy and allied fields. Her rec reation calendar includes outdoor excursions and camping trips.
 Since Miss Anderson is veter- an mountain climber, since her college days at the University of Colorado, her girls are hoping that they'll learn what lies on the other side of some of Valdez mountains this summer.

the rams horn, just so will the
even more glorious day of re-
demption be announced by the
shofar. On that day will the lost
members be reassembled, the
scattered souls retrieved and the
sweetness of eternal peace de-
scend when men shall no more
learn and pursue the arts of war.
Picture a fearful group of
Spanish Jews huddled in their
hidden places to hear the requir-
ed notes. 1t would have been
oh, so very easy, to give up the
struggle. All that was demand
ed of them was to forsake a poor
and despised faith in favor of the
powerful and ornate church. Why
cling to the disguised candle on
mothers yahrzeit and mentally
disavow the bread and wine of
communion? Why not rip clear of
the smothering blanket of fear;
fear of the authorities; fear and
suspicion of the spies in ones
own midst?
Then the shofar cries. 1t is
redolent with the echoes of past
centuries which refuse to be for
gotten; of heaven-spanned brilli-
ance which cannot be dimmed;
of integral memories, baked into
the heart. 1t is, for all its secret
iveness, a summons.
1t calls to courage in the face
of repression. It bids the Jew to
be honest to himself, no matter
what the dictates of ruling bigots
may be. 1t browns out the me-
tallic blare of pomp and power.
The shofar bears yet another
force. 1t frightens the enemies
of freedom. We can comprehend
its mystery for the Jew, linked
by its voice through space and
time, but why are the Yemenite
Arabs, clearly in the majority
and with all the means of coer-
cion at hand, dismayed by it's
call? Is it truly, as the modern
Hebrew writer, S. Yavneili,
speculates, because they "know
about the King Messiah and of

in the conviction that, just as the

To Be Dedicated at

BY WiIIiom A. MiIIen

AS a Sesquicentennial feature,

Gated April 81.
These paintings have been made
possible by contributions from the
Garden Club of America and its
aff1liates. Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Brannan will accept these
gifts on behalf Of the Federal
Government.
A number Of past presidents of
the club and about 167 members

greens. The first valley is designed
around Cryptomerias; the second
valley is planted with true cedars,
while the third is devoted to Hima-
laya pines. The section for true
cedars comprises the Atlas, Leba-
non and Deodar varieties.
Mr.. Morrison said these val
leys will be especially attractive in
the autumn. The National Arbore-
tum is featuring azaleas as the big

soming. The public will be noti-
fled later Of the week end the
Arboretum will be open for the
aZalea show.
The three valleys are on the
east side of the Arboretum prop
erty, leading down to the Ana

chairman Of the National Capt.
tai Committee Of the club. said
Mrs. Hermann G. Place of New
York, club president. will attend
the dedication. Mrs. Place and
Mrs. Hitchcock last May pre-
sented a check for several thou
sand dollars to President Truman
for the paintings.
The fund has been used by
Mr.. Morrison, who is a member
at-large Of the club, for the
paintings.
Mrs. Hitchcock said the money
was raised by the National Capt.
tai Committee, Garden Clubs
throughout the country. the Gar
den Club Of America, as well as
numerous individuals. In connec-
ton with the Sesquicentennial,
she explained interest in develop
ing the Arboretum has been re-
vived.

pirate ground cover will be plant
ed under the new trees.
