 This week I should like to paint a word picture of one Sourdough's impression of our Pioneer Home in America as far as l know.
 Coming up from the lag- pole to the front entrance al- most four years ago, l had the impression of A marvel lousIy solid, dignihed struct- lfe and yet friendly with its many, many windows To a long covered porch IN the front, l discovered later, the benches from garden were ta- ldle in winter so that We could still enjoy the air and the wonderful view out to sea with tue mountains IN the background.
 As you enter the Home the administrative office is to the left of the corridor, where each month one receives ones spending money and the feW of us Who are, or nearly are in a total eclipse, are able to obtain the very many eases of records for the blind which ara changed continually for us and very few. both old and new. popular books have not been recorded for our nse

 The three Porter children, who have all attended Sitka Schools, are now away at school. Alyce is a Junior at tending the University of Portland School of Nursing; Julian, who has completed his military duty, is entering the 2nd semester of the IT. year at Willamette Univer- sity, Salem, Oregon and it ta- king business administration while Lawrence, In. will be a 2nd semester sophmore at Central College of Washing ton, Ellensburg, Wash. His major is industrial arts and it IS certainly evident that he is qualified for the field for the Porters tell us that ne made most of their furniture while at Sitka High, and it is, in deed, attractive.
 It is hard to believe that Mrs. Porter also finds time for organization work and teaching girl scouts. But she does. She is the immediate past president of the Soropto- mists and presently treasur- CT of the Chamber of Com merce for a second year.
 We can't give you a recipe for the Porter hospitality but here are the Crepes Suzettes: .7 eggs

 .l large tablespoon butter

 l teaspoon vanilla
 4 cups milk.

 Separate eggs, whip whites first. Combine all other ingre- dients with egg yokes, add ing butter last Fold into whipped egg whites. Cook as large pan cakes, spreading the batter thin. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and fresh lemon juice and roll. or, if it's a special occasion Brandy may be used in place of the lemon juice.

Mrs. Porter lrepeS ou1- cites and the view from the Porter's living room window are a twofold joy, and both defy description. Although most Sitkans are accustomed to being surrounded by bea- uty, few of Us are fortunate enough to have both Swan Lake and the mountains see- mingly in our front yard. The Crepe Suzettes, of course, you can have, provided you can cook as we'll as Mrs. Por- ter, for she has given us the recipe Light and sumPtuous, they will lend an Air of ele- gence to any meal.
 Eleven years ago Cecile and Lawrence Porter came to Sitka from Lapwai, Idaho on an official government trans fer with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Still with the Bureau, Mi. Porter is currently Ad- ministrative Assistant at the Mt. Edgecumbe School.
 AS proprietor of the ~The Hobby Shop, Mrs. Porter gives expression to her own extensive interest in hobbies of the home-making kind- Her home proves the reverse of the old proverb, that the cobbler's sons go un-shod' for it glows with the warmth of many exquisite hand made items, Which are at the same tim z exciting conversation pieces. 4 two color quilt made up of dozens of swatch es, all folded and hemmed by hand, and reversible, is made from N pattern handed down from MT.

A skirt made from hundreds of pieces Of brightly conHasted colors is an exact replica of a Seminole skirt While N large crocheted lace tablecIoth and lnulti-colored afghan both lend an early American touch.

Another team, called the Purple team will be sponsored by business firms in town Donnelley and AchesoG1b Knudsens and o. Kraft and Son have indicated willing ness to sponsor a team. It is an- ticipated by those starting the League that when the rest of the boys discover that there is some real activity along these lines, with equipment furnished by sponsors, they will be coming out of the clover patches all over the island.
 It ifs planned to select the most promising players from the long list of applicants for as many teams as there are sponsors. Ac- tually, at this time, there are more potential sponsors than there are teams. What is needed most of all are grown-ups to help in the coaching and managing of these teams.
