the revival of the old Territorial

Alaska Visitors Association, which

years ago. there appears to be
growing sentiment that ABB has
outlived its usefulness. Coupled
with this is some bitterness which
has developed over management of
the Board. George Sundborg, its
present general manager, has been
the target of legislative tempers in
the past. and 1853 promises to be

Mr.. Irelan. whose office has

The attorney, who initiated

that the best the United States

He said that if the after-hours

SPINNING WHEEI2 2

mrs. X. p. L.. Arlington
Sometime ago we read in
a local paper about a lady Cor
two ladies' living in or near
Washington who had quite a
collection of spinning wheels
and could operate them.
Recently my husband had an
old spinning wheel that had
been in his family for years
reflnished and put in operating
order-beautifully done-and
] am quite fascinated by it.
I am wondering if any of
you good readers would know
Of the ladies / read about or
would know of any one who
could teach me how to operate
our spinning wheel.
This might seem like an un-
usual request, but I am quite

Over q thousand clean, mat

played at q Georgetown antique
shop on Wisconsin avenue, near

l to 6 pm.
Particularly interesting will be
Autographs taken from the first
volume Of q first edition Of
a rare set. "The History Of
the Indian Tribes of North
America" by Col. r. L. McKen-
ney and James Hall. Published
in Philadelphia in 1868, the
set is considered one of the most
important pictorial and histori-
cal records Of the North Ameri-
can Indians. The book from
which the plates are taken will
also be shown.
The portraits are Of the Amer
ican Indians who visited the
Capitol here to negotiate treat
les. discuss claims and confer
with government agents. They
are done after paintings by
Charles Bird King, student of
the Indian and artist for the
government. ALI but five of the.
three hundred Of Kings paint
ings which were placed in the
Indian Gallery of the Smith
sonian Institution in 1852 were
destroyed when a fire swept that
part Of the building. Hence, these
plates from the McKenney Hall
volumes are the nearest to the
originals in existence.
The authors did not realize
any profit from their book, which
was costly to produce, one of
the first that was thoroughly
American in theme and creation.
A desire to preserve some record
OF the history, traditions and
culture Of a vanishing people
inspired Col. McKenney, a for
mer Georgetown merchant who
was named first commissioner
OF Indian affairs in 1924 (then
under the War Department. by
President Monroe. Hall, a from
tier scholar, wrote much of the
text.

PLAY GROUPS?

mrs. A. p. F., Falls Church.
Are there any play groups
in Falls Church for 4k-year-
olds? So far as I can find,
both the private and co-opera-
tive kindergartens are filled.
What I'd like to find is a
supervised play group with
emphasis on outdoors, not
necessarily all afternoon or all
morning nor even every day,
but a chance for a child to
have free play with friends.
Perhaps people who have
been here longer can suggest
as we look ahead to summer
what there is for children to
do? Sabotage children as
well as pre-SchoOl?
