By JACK GORDON The Queen City of the’ Pacifie Northwest is looking to the biggest tourist influx in history this summer with the tenth anniversary edition of its now-famous Seafair celebration, A visit to Seattle any time is a guarantee of a restful vacation in a metropolis which nestles between two great ranges, the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, and is all but surrounded by water to make it a veritable Atlantus of modern times. But the “red letter dates” for visitors occur during. the first week of August when the city stages its annual 10-day Seafair celebration. This summer’s festival—probably the biggest outdoor show in America today—opens on July 31 and. continues through August 9. to be with us again “soon. We sent get-well cards to Mrs. Solario, Al Sutter, Mr. Bartsch, and all signed the cards sent to Ruby and Edith. We wish to thank Lucy Seeley for the fine work she did on the rug we have ‘in the making inasmuch ag she got the rug to lie flat so that we can go on and keep it that way. The next meeting will be at Charmaine’s, weather pérmitting, as it will be held out of doors in her patio. We forgot to bring up the question of who would bring pies for the refreshments at the fireman’s meeting to.be held at Babe’s Hall the 4th. Since Bea Leonard has contacted three of the ladies Who have agreed to bake a pie each, we are still in need of more, so please don’t let us down, gals. And don’t forget to get rid of those tickets as the 14th will be here shortly. There were 14 present: Winnie Sutter, Ruth Bartsch, Stella Sauers, Edna Ferguson, Catherine. McLaughlin, Gertrude Hammer, Gerry Treloar, Little Elsie, Alice Farnsworth, Charmain Reader
and two children, Anna Bigiey, Bea Leonard, and our hostess, Zoann Wasley, and a guest, Pat Spaulding, who is. visiting at Kitty’s place. We also missed Gertie Gillis, Peg Sproul, Nel Gillis and Maude Campbell. The latter has moved away, and no doubt is getting nicely established in her new surroundings, but we miss you, Maude. Tne auction went rather slow as the articles we had were too}; small for most of the ladies, so we took in only $4.10 and $1.30 for the dues. After the meeting was adjourned we talked about}: sending some more money to the La Habra Mission, an Indian school, Our president has received word that her older sister passed away the 3rd of May in Iowa. After attending his mother’s funeral, her nephew, James Barrans, and wife stopped by to see their aunt, who he had not seen since 1927, and they are looking they want to get out of the smog. 1 Pasadena, . The Seafair is a gigantic comvisit to the port of the U. S. and Canadian Navy’s Pacific fleets. This year some 5,000 bluejackets and tars will join the fun aboard some 24 ships, ranging from aircraft carriers and cruisers to submarines. Nothing on Seafair’s schedule can compare with its Grande Finale; The Gold Cup Race. Now nationally televised, the race pits a score of the supersized hydroplanes of the speedboat racing world against each other for the world’s championship: the Gold Cup. The 1958 Gold Cup was won by Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser’s Hawaii Kai. The half-million spectators who jam the 20 miles of. shoreline, ‘hilltops and ride boats on the log boom, Swear this.is the greatest sports event of them all, includbination of ev n land water. The’'salt Wabi pede" Bay and Puget fresh water from Lake Washington, the Duwamish. River, Lake Union and a ship canal, which encircle. the ‘city, provide the maritime heritage for the nautical theme of the. annual festival. Seafair events range from such “top” attractions as a_ nightly stage and water show,.“The Aqua Follies,” in the city’s lakeside theater, to the spectacle of 500,000 persons watching the classic Gold Cup hydroplane race on Lake Washington. The fact that Seattle serves as the air and ship gateway to the Orient is demonstrated by the beautiful Japanese Bon Odori festival, the Chinatown dragon dance and the Philippine community dance fete. The nautical flavor is evident with such water events as inboard and outboard speedboat faces, ing ba oo Serign the Kenabout pret i.
