Croatian descent = the Hon. Michael A.
Stepovch-who set three records the
moment he took the oath of office.
II At 38, he became the youngest Gov
ernor in the history of Alaska; y he is
the first native born citizen ever to rule
as the Chief Executive of this great Ameri-
can possession; and 81 he is the first Ro-
man Catholic Governor in the political an
nails of the Territory.

. In his response to our appeal, MIR.
Smith took the time to write us letter
dripping with praise for Alaska's citizens
of Croat descent, or extraction.
Of the new Governor he said: Mike
Stepovich is fine man. | have known him
many years and knew his Qate) father
quite we'll"
Of our people In general ...
"There are many of your people in Alas
ka, lot of them of pioneer stock" wrote
Mr. Smith "One of my most cherished
friends is a John Haidukovich with whom
travelled on the rivers of Interior Alaska
20 years ago. Another, Sam Voich, who
died few years ago, and Nick Melick,
trader at the Kusl1okwim River Village,
were two of the finest men I've ever
known
There is another family" continued
Mr.. Smith, "of four sons of the late Peter
Miscovich who are pioneer miners in this
country. Son John is the inventor of an
automatic sluicing machine that is used all
over the world. Without more than an
eighth grade education he whipped prob
lens that stopped technical engineers for
years"
So, our people are Somebody in the
Alaskan scheme Of things More power
to them as they set out to gain statehood
for the Territory under the dynamic young
leadership of one of their proud own, Gov
ernor Michael A. Stepovch
n II
Since he thinks so highly of our peo-
pie there, Mr.. Smith will be interested to
learn that the Croatian Fraternal Union
has one Lodge in Alaska.
Located in Anchorage-and operating
as subordinate unit No. 991-this Lodge
is III lle cdpdple ndnuS OF DEO. LOUIS Vuk-
mir, 728 Sixth Ave, Anchorage, widely
known and highly respected businessman
of this booming center in Alaska.
If Mr.. Smith will direct the Territorys
Stepovichs, Hajdukovichs, Noichs, Mellicks,
Miscovichs, and others of Yugoslav and
Slav descent to bro. Vukmirs doorstep in
Anchorage, they will find man there only
too happy to proffer them the privilege of
becoming members of the largest, most
powerful order of its kind on earth--the
Croatian Fraternal Union of America. A
privilege? Yes, indeed!

TRANSPLANTED YOUNG
TREES NEED SUNBURN
PROTECTION

Many a spring planted young
tree is needlessly lost for lack of
easily-proyided protection from
the hot summer sun, according to
Robert F. Stevens, extension hor-
ticulturist at the University of
Delaware.
A young tree set in a new
place where the sun beats on part
of its bark has not had a chance
to harden itself against the hot
glare.
He suggests wrapping the
trunk with strips of burlap sever
al inches wide in a spiral begin
ming either at the top or the bot
tom. Wrap the burlap just tight
enough to hold it in place. The
end can be secured with a piece
of string or light twine. Wire and
heavy rope are not recommended
for the job, because they last too
long-and unless removed, bind
and injure the growing trunk. 4,
Both burlap and string last just
about long enough-the first two
years-protection until the tree
develops shading foliage.

NEW TREND SEEN IN
HOME FURNISHINGS

Home furnishing styles are
tending back toward formal ele-
gance which for several years has
been overshadowed by modern de-
signs developed to go along with
the emphasis placed on casual liv-
ing, according to Miss Patricia
A. Middleton, extension home
management specialist at the
University of Delaware.
She said this trend is not a re-
turn to the strict traditional. 1t
is a blend of modern and tradi-
tional designs and styles manu-
facturers term transitional"
In sofa design the spider-leg-

ged modern is giving way to
more substantial, heavier base
treatments. Upholstered parts re-
main light in scale rather than
bulky. Walnut in legs and ex-
posed wood trim is geeting more
and more important.
Styles from other countries are
still in demand, especially Chinese
and Italian and French Provin-
cial.
China and glass ware are also
following the same trend toward
refinement shown in furniture,
the specialist said. Designs are
more traditional and elegant but
executed with a contemporary
feeling. With this return to for
mality, the shoulder is returning
to the dinner plate and there is
renewed interest in stem ware.
Brass stands for coolware are
replacing wrought iron.
