versity of Alaska as well as private lessons in her home.
 Wien Airlines commissioned her to do series of pictures and she was off on more flying iunkets to her friends in Kotzebue, Nome and isolated Eskimo villages She found that almost every Arctic village and family group were represented in Nome, each group living in a section to itself. "If you were we'll acquainted with the Eskimos of Nome you could al- ways run into their relatives or tribe members in the outlying villages and find a cordial well come"
 Eudora Preston's pictures have established her as an artist of note; she is the only Alaskan artist listed in Who's Who of the West. One of her oils, a gift from the city of Fairbanks to President Eisenhower, hangs in the White House on the stairs leading to the staff dining room. Her pictures also hang in the University of Alaska and she has exhibited in the Frazier Gallery in Vancouver, B. c.
 In 1857 the PreStons decided the time had come to move on. Doug las Preston resigned, after one term, as mayor of Fairbanks and they have made their home here since then. He is City Clerk-Treas- urer; she has taught art in her home for the past three years and this year as set up and taught art in Kodiak high school. Mrs. Pres ton recently filed as a candidate for the Alaska State House of Representatives.
 Eudora Preston is woman of great warmth with limitless love for Alaska and Alaskans. Her com fortable home houses priceless collection of Alaskana, from books, many of them collectors items, to native spears. These last even come in special sizes, one for seals, one for birds. Tn a corner of the sunporch stands fine specimen of whale baleen which she brought back from a whaling feast on the arctic coast That particular whale was the first muktuk I had ever eaten and I have baskets and models of native sailing ships made from its baleen as we'll as the baleen you see here" There

where people were no longer con cerned with the welfare of their neighborS. I think we surely do need development but not at the sacrifice of the spirit of friendli- ness.
 We moved to Kodiak from Fair banks because as a city it had become superficial. You can get to the stage where you are interested in people, but not in the indi- Vidual"
 This was far from true when Eudora Macdonald arrived in Alaska on Saint Patrick'S Day 1927. Born in Calgary, Canada, she had grown up on cattle ranch in North Dakota, then entered the University of Washington where she was majoring in fine arts when she decided to visit her mother. Mrs. Macdonald then lived in Fairbanks.
 'It took us eight days by ship from Seattle to Seward and three days from there to Fairbanks be- cause of a snoWSlide on the rail- road tracks in Mckinley Park. We stopped in Anchorage for lunch and again at Curry where the pas Sengers spent the night in a beau tiful, old fashioned hotel. The girl who was my travelling com panion, and I, washed out our silk stockings and other things, hung them to dry, opened the windows as usual and went to bed. In the morning, minutes before train time, we found our undergarments frozen stiff as boards. We had to take them to bed and thaw them out before we could dress"
 Once in Fairbanks, Mrs. Preston settled down for a visit with her mother. The town was a rambling collection of frame houses lacking many of the refinements we late corners expect as a matter of course. but surprisingly conscious of protocol and the social niceties. There was no running water, the streets were not paved but the ladies of Fairbanks called on all new lady arrivals within two weeks to present their cards. Return calls were expected within another two weeks.
 Everyone had a well but the water was extremely hard, unSuit- able for cooking or drinking. It turned an inky black when you

added coffee, tea or whiSkey, or anything else The mineral con- tent of the water was so high that many new bride cooked beans all day and they would be as hard at night as when she started them at morning. In summer we bought our water in five gallon jugs; in winter we stacked tons of ice and melted it down as we needed it.
 We learned the art of cooking frozen potatoes and other root vegetables long before packaged frozen foods were ever heard of. We baked bread and pies, froze them quickly outdoors and stacked them in our greenhouse like so much cord wood"
 Though she had intended to re- turn to school in the fall she never did; she met Douglas Preston, the young office manager of the North ern Commercial Company, mar ried him and lived in Fairbanks for the next thirty-one years. The way of life then was hard, in hard country.
 ''It was testing ground. People either became mature men and women or derelicts. Up until the second world war and the influx of the military which brought in an entirely new culture, AlaskanS counted only what, not who, you were You had to stand on your own two feet. We were so depend ent upon one another for survival. We had to count on helping one another or perish. This is still true even now in the remote areas and in the small villages"
 The PrestonS have a son and daughter, both born in Fairbanks. When they reached high school age and Mrs. Preston could take more time from home duties she went back to her art. She painted scenery for local theatrical pro- ductions, and in time flew with the bush pilots to Eskimo villages.
 During these trips she Sketched and painted the Eskimo houses and people, the children, festivals and activities She was a guest of the villagers, sharing their home and board. A visit lasted at least a week and as long as five weeks. From these experiences she has stored a wealth of knowledge and hundreds of pictures.
 Back in Fairbanks she was an active worker in civic affairs; just before and through the war years she was chairman of production and services for Red Cross. From January, 1941 until August, 1945 she taught English to Russian ferry pilots and servicemen sta toned at Ladd Air Force Base. For two years she was chairman of the Panama Valley Chapter of the American Foundation of Infantile Paralysis; has been a member for some years and was state presi- dent for a term, of the National League of American Pen Women Gan organization of professional artists, musicians and writers) and is now North Pacific regional di- rector.

Spot bowling is a most sci

start with this method. But
many Of bowling's top stars
are spot bowlers. Stars like
Don Carter. Tom Hennessey,
and Buzz Fazio among the men,
as well as Marion Ladewig and
Tess Johns among the ladies
use this method.
A spot bowler concentrates
his eyes on a spot out beyond
the foul line. He knows from
experience that If his ball rolls
over that spot, it will end up
right where he wants it to.
A spot bowler fixes his eyes
on such a spot when he takes
his stance and keeps his eyes
focused there throughout his
approach and delivery and until
his ball has rolled past that
spot. You can see in the illus
tration how my ball has rolled
