i home of the Roman Patricks, was
formerly the home of Sally Kale
(or Cale) Spencer. She sent her
son to Princeton University where
he graduated. The road turning to
Fairfield and the road leading to
Lake Landing form a fork which
has since been referred to as the
Sally Kale Fork.
The Gibbs Families
The name Of Gibbs began to ap-
pear. One source was that of
Washington Gibbs. He came to
America with two other gentlemen
of wealth. The three of them held
land grants from the king him
self. All three had their lands ad-
jacent to lakes. One of the others
was the Pettigrew who settled on
Lake Phelps. Washington settled
in the Dark Woods area on Mat
tamuskeet. He was a prolific faith
er and the name spread rapidly.
He drove a fancy carriage with
excellent horses and loved a bit
of wine and indulged somewhat in
music.
Another alleged source of the
Gibbs name is connected with that
of the pirate Teach. One elderly
lady who was herself a Gibbs said
Teach happened to be hiding from
the Royal Navy in Fur Creek dur
ing the latter days of his career,
and because the crew were
aware of the precariousness of
their position dissension arose
aboard. Some of the men deserted.
One of them was named Gibbs.
This might be true as easily, in
deed, as it might be false. But
not so many years ago one of
Blackbeard's log books resided in
the possession of one of Engel-
hard's citizens. 1t was later given
to a museum. Tt is said that among
the names mentioned in that Log
were Gibbs and Mann. And where
so many by the name of Gibbs
or Spencer are to be found in an
area so small, it is not unreason-
able to assume that their numbers
could have stemmed from several
sources.
There was the name TuIley. And
there were other names, but many
who were here moved away and
were replaced by others. No effort
is being made to eulogize any fam
lily. Only those who have kept
records are remembered. History
and family trees seem important
to most hereabouts only after they
have been neglected so long that
no possible way Of digging up the
past is left open.
Agriculture Important
Engelhard had it's birth in agri-
culture. The captains came after

the plantations could load their
vessels with cotton and grain.
There were no deep harbours
where the ships could be loaded
directly, but smaller boats hanled
the prt duce from the wharves in
Engelhard out to the larger ves-
sells lying at anchor, The vessels
hauled the farm products to New
Bern or Norfolk. There they
would reload with necessities as.
well as Injuries for the return
trip. Luxuries because the village
at Engelhard was no mean little
homespun outfit; it had degree
of class and culture and a world
liness which gave its citizens
confidence in themselves so that
they were able to stand toe-to-toe
with the best in the land. and

Observe the marshes and the
creeks and the land long since
idled by the ravages of salt and
continued wet. Look upon the
skeletons of old vessels rotted on
the banks Of the Fur. See how the
village hovers against the creek !?
Listen, you of Engelhard, to the
ancients tell Of grander days and
blush not for your heritage.
During the brief period when
Oliver Cromwell was the Lord
Protector of England, 1853 1858,
certain men of wealth and high
political station found themselves
il bad favor at court. Some were
executed and some were imprison-
ed and some were banished.
Among those banished was a gen.
tleman by the name of Spencer.
He was shipped under sealed ord
ers to Virginia. Virginia, at the
time, included practically all of
England's holdings in the New
World.
The ship apparently headed in
to Fur Creek. Spencer landed
with his retinue at Persimmon
Tree Point near Engelhard. OBJ
viously his wife died during the
voyage, for she was buried at
Persimmon Tree Point which is
other than an ideal bury
ing ground. His intention was to
return at a more convenient time
and remove her grave to higher
land. He drew a map of the site,
but when he'returned a storm had
so altered the shdfeline that he
was never able to find his original
line of approach as indicated on
the map. However, one gentleman,
living still, saw when he was a
youngster an ancient coffin washed

UNEXPECTED THRILL
 HORRIFIES LABOR DAY AIR SHOW OBSERVERS

Some 200 observers of the La Dor Day Air Show at Palmer Air port got more than their moneys worth in thrills when the pilot and parachute jumper added a stunt not included in the script and just barely escaped catas- trophe for both of them.
 The stunt as announced over the Kiwanis loud speaker involv- ed three up and over loops of the light plane by pilot Gaylord Ma han with ex-paratrooper Bob Sin clair riding the top wing center section with feet curled down around the flying wires.
 All went according to plan as Sinclair fell loose from the plane as it reached a 60 degree angle in the execution of the third loop. His parachute opened before the plane came out of the loop, but it was not quite out of the path . of the plane. Caught by the wing of the plane were the shroud's of the chute which collapsed com- pletely.
 Quickly Sinclair loosed himself from the battered chute. He pull ed the cord to a second chute and floated safely-not to earth, but into the chill waters of the Mata- nuska river.
 It was an exciting climax to the 90 minute airshoW, but it was a close call not anticipated by Mahan or Sinclair. If the shrouds had been caught in the propeller, a few knowing observers remark ed, the air show might have end ed in tragedy.

EDUCATION EXHIBITS DRAW MANY VISITORS

DRAW MANY VISITORS
 Educational exhibits this veal came in for a large share of the praises heard from visitors of the Matanuska Valley Fair. tart
 The Fire Guard Station exhibit in the well constructed quarter: which will become a permanent part of the Fair was inspected by SIP visitors Saturday, 2,225 Sun. day, and 452 up to noon Monday according to the count of Don De- Hart, Forester in charge of fire control in Alaska District 1. Mu- rals, depicting the three phases of forestry work were on display These were done by Clyde Clark fire control aid. Fire-fighting car toons done by Fred Girol drew attention to several phases of the forestry work.
 Airplane drop chutes, smoke chaser packs and portable pumps were included in the display.
 The agricultural engineering housing exhibit by the Experi- ment Station showing that Alas kan conditions require insulation plus vapor sealing effectively de- monstrated heat costs under II types of outside wall construction were shown with data on oil re- quired to keep an 980 square foot room enclosed with each at 70 types of outside wall construction.
 Sections of each type of wall construction were shown with data on oil required to keep an 800 spare foot room enclosed with each at 70 degrees with a zero temperature outside. Six and eight inch concrete block construction without insulation and vapor sealing required 321 and 209 gallons of oil contrasted poorly with woodenwalls filled with 6 inches of saWdust and va DOT seal requiring g gallons of oil.
 Neat and artistic was the Alas ka Certified Seed Growers ex- hibit of grain and grass sheaves together with the seed from which each was grown. Potatoes of several commercial and num- bered varieties were also part of the exhibit
 The Alaska Department of Agriculture exhibit of Valley vegetables was a favored back ground for photographers snap ping pictures of Fair visitors. Clyde Sherman, the Territorial Commissioner of Agriculture was enthusiastic about the whole Fair. He said he was going to take several of the entries which would not deteriorate too rapid ly to Mt. Mckinley this week where they could be seen by the scientists who are converting there.
 The Sportsmen's exhibit in the Boy Scout log cabin was so jam med with visitors viewing troph- ies covering almost every inch of available space that graduation to larger quarters seemed in or der.
