Womon's Club Repori On Hobby Show
By E. Blue

One of the highlightS in Seward on April 9th was the Hobby Show and Silver Tea sponsored by the Senior Wo- mems Club. Responsible for the tea were Mesdames Juanita Everitt and Nancy Blanchard.
 The exhibition was held in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. The group which arranged the displays and hung the pic lures was the Amateur Painting Class made up of ten women who were encol,raged to paint by Captain Joe Ramsauer, an artist of some note. Each mem Der of this group showed one or more pictures, They were: Mesdames Fraser, Christianson, Inglis, E. Jones, Osbo, Horton, Erwin, and Miss Sylvia Sexton. Although frankly beginners, these ladies certainly showed pictures of promise.
 Mrs. Mabel Kendall of the Seward Sanatorium, a winner of the Fur Rendezvous amateur painters, showed her First Prize exhibit of 1853. Mrs. Florine Isaacs had a large and varied showing of works in textile paint most beautifully done. Denny McCart of Hope exhibited his lamps, paintings, and woodwork in very unique display. Miss Audney Horton demonstrated distinct ability in her paintings. There was a group of colorful, pre-drawn oil paintings by nur- ses, aides, and employees of the Sanatorium. Ceramics were brought by Mrs. L. Jones and Mrs. J. A. Jensen. The latter also showed her paintings.
 Among the individual collec- tions were interesting Japanese items and Norwegian silver con tributed by Mrs. T. Bic; a collec- ton of one hundred and twenty eight dolls belonging to Virginia Blue, and another group of unique foreign dolls, the pro- perty of Laura and Sarah Peck. Mrs. Osbo's and Mrs. Chapman's afghans added interest to the show.
 Captain Joe Ramsauer, who was an art stEGH HIt in Munich, and who has been plying Alas kan waters for over forty years as a sea captain, delighted Seward people with the fine oils which he so generously lent the club. The club is also indebted to MT. Jim Hawkins, one of Stewards own artists, for his sympathetic interpretation of local scenes. MT. J. A. Jensen showed his very effective char coal paintings.
 Several hundred people were in attendance during the hours three to five and seven to nine. So much interest was shown, that it has been decided to make this a yearly affair.
 At the Women's Club meeting following the show, Mrs. F. J. Phillips gave a report on one of the new books, A Heart in the Snow.
 Election of officers resulted in the following; President, Mrs. Elsie Blue; Vice President, Mrs. La Preal Bic; Secretary, Miss Helen Case; Treasurer, Mrs. Hazel Erwin. Installation of these officers, and the annual Spring Banquet will be held on Saturday night, May 8, in the Methodist Church Social Hall at 6:30 PM. Each member is urged to bring one or more guests.

Russia Adds Fast Cruisers
In Building Naval Strength

addition. these light forces would
sweep mine fields, patrol for SUBJ
marines and otherwise keep open
approaches to Soviet ports.
More Than Defensive.
Russian attacks against Scan
dinavia or Turkey undoubtedly
would be spearheaded by these
light forces and NATO ships

Sea or Black Sea would have
to run a gauntlet Of mine field
traps and torpedo attacks by
coastal destroyers and motor

The Russian need for this
kind of defensive force is obvi-
Gus. But why the modern high

That's a question the United
States Navy Is asking itself. At
the end Of a summary of Rus
sian surface strength the Navy
added this question:
'If the Soviets were building

they have invested millions of

of man-hours in building a

Mine in North Sea
Sets Tanker Afire
sy the Assoe;oted Pres.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands,
Oct. 1.-THE 3,099-ton Norwe-
gian tanker Folga radioed she
struck a floating mine in the
North Sea today and burst into
flames.
Dirkzwagers Shipping Agency,
which monitored the radio re-
port, sand one man was missing.
Twenty-seven other crew men,
bers had been taken off by rescue
ships but some later returned to
the tanker to fight the flames.
The tanks aboard the Folga,
out of Bergen, are listed as blast
proof, but the crew took no
chances, abandoning ship with
the engines still running at half
speed, the radio reports said.
Later the captain. the first
officer. the first engineer and a
picked crew of men went back
aboard the Folga to take control
after the danger of further ex-
plosions apparently had passed.
The first blast was mistaken
for a petroleum tank explosion.
1t wasn't until later that a gaping
hole was found in the tanker's
port side where she had run into
mine, the Dirkzwager reports
said.
The tanker's position was given
as about 40 miles north of Zee
brugge. Belgium. The Belgian
trawler Mercator Z443 took
aboard the crew members. The
Dutch tugs Ebro and Koningin
Emma also were reported headed
for the scene.
