In the barnyard are many do-mestic animals, and a silo made from an oatmeal box stands in the back. The little farm is much like those Mrs. Myers knew in her home state of Pennsylvania, rather than the vaster ranches of this country with their wild terrain. Four antique bonnets have been kept by Mrs. Myers, worn many years ago by her Pennsylvania Dutch family. The oldest bonnet, some 150 years old, was her great grandmother's. It is brown silk and bobinet with a type of ear muffs and darker brown ties reaching under the chin. A black silk tafeta bonnet sheered up the crown was Mrs. Myer's grandmother's. And a hat of her mother's which she wore when a child some 85 years ago is wool alpaca, black. With faded blue trim about the edge. Mrs. Myer's father had a very tiny bonnet which she has preserved. It is faded cream net, some 96 years old. A tiny ruffle about the edges is quaintly reminiscent of a century ago. Jewelry of the turning point in the Victorian period is part of the relic in this home. A lovely old gold watch with a key such as we use in our clocks was Mrs. Myers' Mother's first piece.

In the sunny sitting porch of her home Mrs. Myers keeps her dogs. Here are hundred and twenty cannies perch about the room. Whimsical and sour alkie they represent a canine kingdom.

These are humerous additions to the what not on which some of the collection is kept. A very earnest cannine plays golf with the 'golfer's stance' entirely correct. He wears a red cap on the back of his white china head. Two black scotties with beady red glass eyes from Pennsylvania, and an erect German police dog from Chicago are welcome 'out of staters'. The variety of dog in amazing, and even a 'hot dog' of hard rubber is included. Part of the enjoyment an observer acquires from Mrs. Myers' ? is the enthusiasm she ?? upon her treasures. And the advantages the varied hobbies have in one collector's realm are never more fully realized until this home is viewed. For here the hobbies never grow tiresome due to the diversified fields which she has chosen. Personals - Mr. J. D. Cordova of Pueblo is spending a few days in this city visiting with Mrs. J. P.

Interesting Person With Background of Rugged Alaska Visits Trinidad (By Emily Schoembs) Coming to Trinidad from remote Alaska is an interesting and unusual visitor, Mrs. Elizabeth Peratrovich, a chic, well groomed, modern woman possessing great charm and an eye for the practical. Her's is a striking appearance with high boned facial planes, alive back eyes and shining dark hair swept up and away from her forehead and temples. She speaks with unique gestures and with much facial expression which makes her eyes appealing as well as ears appealing when talking with her. Mrs. Peratrovich is avidly interested in the welfare of her country and its people, and her conversant is immediately aware of this upon hearing her earnest words concerning the imminent problems facing the land of gold and the midnight sun. Cataloguing this intriguing woman as to her professional status is almost impossible. Above all, she is happily married and has three charming children, the eldest, a boy, possessing great artistic talent, but she, being a woman with an alert many faceted mind, has taken a great deal more in her stride. Political problems and economic tangles are her meat, and it is rumored that Mrs. Peratrovich may soon take her place in the territorial legislature where such problems are unravelled and where order can be wrought out of chaos. A native of Alaska and her ancestors before her with Indian blood coursing through her veins, Mrs. Peratrovich has taken the problems of her race to heart. Since the time when the Russians entered Alaska to exploit its people and resources, the going has been none to easy for its native sons. Realizing they were quickly losing their freedom and even the right to exist, the Indians revolted against the envoys of the hammer and sickle and anihilated them to the last man. Unable to import more traders and miners the Russians negotiated with the United States' secretary of state, Seward, and in 1912, the region known as "Seward's Ice-Box" became American Territory. Even then, the Indians were compelled to make many sacrifices. The United States government was willing and able to help Alaska and its people but asked that the Indians give up all tribal society and customs. In this way only, could educational and economical reforms be instituted. Natually, this request meant nothing more than a complete turn-over for a race of people which had gloried in many years of civilized existence. But by this means, government authorities, communicating through the trial chieftains, brought about a certain semblance of order and happiness. In telling this story, Mrs. Peratrovich again stressed her personal interest and love for her country. We of the United States think of the territory as being a barren waste polka-dotted with igloos and inhabited by parkaed Eskimos. Mrs. Peratrovich is anxious that the influence of Jack Londo novels be undone. She proudly says that in Juneau, Sitka or in other Akaskan cities, exclusive clothing and entertainment can be had, rivalled by none in the states excepting that found in larger cities such as New York Chicago or St. Louis. Alaska also is a land which could well be labeled, "Possilibities Unlimited." It has yet to disclose secrets hugged close to its frigid heart, such as its still undiscovered mineral deposits, great expanses of forest and its icy waters abundant with edible fish. With the new "Al-Can" highway to be completed in the future and the already accessible air transportation, Alaska's mysteries and legends cannot long remain her own. Religion has played a great part in bringing the United States and Alaska into a closer relationship. Every denomination is represented there because of the work of far seeing church men and women. It was in Alaska that Mrs. Peratrovich met Dr. Paul Whiteside, then a missionary in the territory, and now minister at the Erist Presbyterian church in Trinidad. The fact that churches and religion are strong in Alaska which numbers coverts to many faiths, is indicative of the spirit prevalent in that great land. Mrs. Peratrovich made her listener vitally aware of all these facts discussed in the previous paragraphs. Just as the delicate hand carved Alaska braclet [[image]] which she wears is symbolic of a nation and people highly cultured and equally sensitive, so is Mrs. Peratrovich symbolic in that she is forging ahead welding good relations between the United States and Alaska. The wealth which she gains from such work is intrinic, not made of ancient five dollar gold piece as is the bracelet, but she is repaid a thousand fold with the thought that her glorious Alaska will one day come into its own!

She married the army air forces sergeant last night in a wedding marked by one of the biggest mob scenes in Hollywood history. The former film muppet ha wanted a quiet church ceremony. But her fans thought differently. They started gathering at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in front of the Wilshire Methodist church. BY the wedding time, 8:30, a crowd estimated by police at 5,-000 lined the streets. Traffic down Wilshire boulevard, main high-way through Los Angeles, was hopelessly snarled. If the outside scene was hectic the ceremony inside was just as Shirley wanted it. The 300 invited guests sat quietly in the church, surrounded by hundreds of pink roses. Only two-thirds of the seats were taken. At 8:45, Shirley took the arm of her father, Geroge Temple, and walked calmy down the aisle. She was wearing a simple gown of white satin. On her head was a small crown of corded satin, and a long silk net veil draped over the full train. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Sgt. Agar gave his bride a long resounding kiss which brought a ripple of laughter from the audience. The kiss was longer than movie censors would allow. Gov. Earl Warren and his family were among the guests. The handsome 34-year-old groom and his 17-year-old bride received well-wishers at the home of her parents. After the reception, the couple left on their ? will be spent ? He must report ? army ? and she ? with her parents.
