In 1935 sue accepted the position of commissioner and recorder. She didn't particularly want the )ob but she took it in order to let the regular commissioner have a year's holiday. Mrs. Stanford worked In the hospital during Uie day and did the recording in the evenings but an epidemic of measles swept into the little settlement and the extra burden proved too much for her and the doctor ordered her to leave the interior. Fort Yukon was originally ereated as a Hudson's Bay Company fur post and Mrs. Stanford said there are still native living in the community whose parents came from the MacKen-ie River basin. Forced to take a rest Mrs. Stanford spent the winter of 1S35-36 in California and Texas but spring called her norm again. She vUlted Juneau, Wran-gell and Ketchikan but somehow CContmnec on Page Six) AY;. . better known to her legion of friends in the Northwest as "Mother Stanford." has fully qualified for a place among the Sourdoughs of the two countries. She and her husband left Chilli wack in J 902 to seek their .fortune in Alaska. Nome was then-first step but they soon moved to Council which is about 80 miles overland but much farther by gasboat and horse-drawn scow along the coast and up the Neuckllk River, as the Sun fords travelled. . After 2 or 3 years in Council Mr. and Mrs. Stanford returned to Nome. Whenever their mining luck ran out the couple turned to the restaurant business. There was always a demand for wholesome home-cooked meats and, when the stake was made, the Stantords hit the adventure trail again. March of 1908 found them on their way to Ophir, a 540-mile trip with a team of nine dogs. Describing the trip in her forthright speech that still holds the burr of lier native Scotland, "Mother Stanford" declared: "l enjoyed the trip fine. There were roadhouses practicaily all the way and we only slept out 2 or 3 nights." It was gold that took them to Ophir and It was gold that took them dwn the Yukon again as far as Ruby. They -were there a year when word went around that a strike had been made at Tolstoy, 40 miles from Ophir o back they went. They built a roadhouae at Tolstoy but Mrs. Stanford dotftrts if there is a building left standing to mark the spot today. Mrs. Stanford and her hus band had a part in the history bJJ. 7. i It MEET MRS. WINSEY Knitting peacefully is Clara Mc-Miilen Kinsey, wife of Dr. Alfred Charles Kinsey, author of the scientific best-seller, "8exual Behavior in the Human Male." What most people don't know Is that there is also a Mrs. Kinsey report. In capsule form it boils down to the fact that men are pretty much all right, she thinks. If they'd only learn to be -tolerant of each other. Though her husband's work has taken the U.S. and Canada by storm, It seems that Mrs. Kinney Is the least surprised persons in the country. She's always thought he was wonderful. EMPIRE'S DEFENCE SCHOOL j The College of Imperial De fence was founded in London hi , 1926 to train officers from all 1 parts of the Empire.
