Dear President Roosevelt,
I am sending to you under separate cover one of my most prized
possessions. It is a 5/2 inch model in color of Prime Minister Win-
ston Churchill, a man who I have admired, ever since Great Britain
entered the war, because of his valiant and courageous spirit in
leading his people against the Axis aggressors.
I carved this wooden model and am sending it to you for these
three reasons:
Primarily, as a rememberance of the union of our beloved land
with Great Britain;
Secondly, as another addition to your great collection of naut-
ical objects, because I know that you are a great lover of the sea
and of anything associated with it. ( Mr. Churchill in this model is
wearing his favorite ship captain's uniform);
Thirdly, as a gift to you for your sixtieth birthday which you
will be celebrating on January thirtieth.
Also, I am enclosing a snapshot of the model. If you like this
model, and if it would be at your convenience, I would like you, Mr.
President to make any comments you may have on the face of the snap-
shot and return it to me in the enclosed self-addressed stamped en-
velope.
In closing, I would like to wish you every good wish for a very
happy birthday, and I hope that we will be victorious by the time you
are sixty-one.
Thank you very much for your very kind attention.
Sincerely yours,
William William Shaniser

Dear Mr. President;
I congratulate you, sir, upon the celebration
of your birthday, and pray God's blessing upon you as
you lead our nation in these days.
It is with a keen sense of joy that I see
a growing movement to construct a highway to Alaska.
May I suggest that the importance of such a highway
both for military purposes and for the future develop-
ment of "The Great Country" cannot well be neglected.
The construction of such a highway will be one of the
great achievements of your administration. If there is
anything I can do to further such a project I will be
glad to do it.
Mr. President, I suppose there are times
in the midst of your busy life when you entertain some
of the Big Wigs of Congress in order to put them in the
mood to get something done.
Should you ever want some thing different
that will make them relax, laugh, and then go out to
do something about it just let me tell them about my
boyhood experiences in Alaska.
This little book which I am sending you
will tell you why I am SO interested in Alaska.
Sincerely
Rev.

UNGA VILLAGE
ITishing long, long way for a lad to come from a small
village of the Aleutian Islands to the position of
a minister in the Methodist Church. Yet this is the story
I would like to tell you, not as one who boasts of achieve-
ment, but rather as one who would allow you to vision the
hosts of humble boys and girls throughout the world who are
looking to you, with an inexpressible longing, for an oppor-
tunity to equip themselves for service to mankind.
I am a native Alaskan, born on July 8, 1900, in the
village of Unga on Unga Island, which is one of the Shuma-
gin Islands, lying to the South of the Alaskan Peninsula.
I know very little of my parents, for my father died when
I was six years old and my mother sent me to the Jesse Lee
Home the following year. However, I do have some re-
collections of my home.
Unostentatious piety characterized the religious life of
my home. Father and mother were both devout people care-
ful to observe the ideals of their faith. My father was a
leader in the Russian Greek Catholic Church of the village.
He was often in charge of the services during the absence of
the priest. Mother's cheerfulness and her deep sympathy for
those in need made a profound impression on my life which
I have never forgotten.
Very early in life the seeds of my calling were planted.
I can remember when, as a boy of three or four years of age,
my father used to take me upon his knees and tell me the
stories of the Church and teach me its songs. When I was
able to sing the songs he would carry me on his shoulder
from house to house during the celebrations of the church
festivals SO that I could sing those songs to the people of
our village.
After his death, my mother continued this training in
her own way. She was a very capable woman, of vision,
daring, and a sacrificial spirit. She knew something of the

dependability and social cooperativeness.
The years I spent in the Jesse Lee Home are filled with
many interesting memories. How well I remember how we
celebrated Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, and Thanks-
giving; how we marvelled at the variety of supplies that
came each year; how we helped catch and pack our salmon;
how eagerly we speculated on the contents of the boxes and
barrels that came from the States and what amazing revel-
ations burst upon our youthful minds when those boxes and
barrels were opened. Then, too, there were our romps over
the hills surrounding the Mission, the harvesting of berries,
garden crops, and the grass with which we filled our silo.
All these activities invite me to reminisce, but space is
limited SO let this one incident suffice.
I think I was the first boy in the Jesse Lee Home to try
an original scientific experiment. One day Dr. Newhall got
us older boys together to repair the cow stable. It was an
all-day's job. Late that afternoon, when there was just one
more plank to be put in place, Dr. Newhall said to me, "You
can finish this job while I take the other boys and start
another job." I said, "All right," and was very much elated
to have been selected for such a responsibility. I put the
plank down in place, picked up the hammer and a spike, and
just as I was about to drive the spike in came a hen and
flew up into a nest. Now one of the older boys had told
me that if you wanted a hen to lay an egg you must be very
quiet, SO I put the hammer and spike down very gently and
sat on the edge of the plank to watch the proceedings. I do
not know how long I sat thus, but after a while my eye

caught the movement of a shadow in the doorway and in
came Dr. Newhall. He looked at me and asked, "Haven't
you got that done yet?" I said "No." "What is the matter
he asked. I shuffled from one foot to the other and finally
blurted out
"Well, Doctor, one of the boys said that

but a group of healthy, growing boys and girls - boys and
SO I was just waiting to see how long it would take that

mischievousness, etc., as you will find in any community in
me with a kind of twinkle in his eye and said something
the States. Yet, in spite of that fact, our teachers were
like this:
"My boy, whenever you have an important

piece of work to do, I don't want you ever to let any hen

interfere with your getting that work done."
case merits high praise.
As I look back over the years I spent at the Jesse Lee
Home I never cease to give thanks to God for the wisdom
and faith of my mother who sent me into an atmosphere and
surroundings best calculated to develop the qualities of
character which I SO much needed for later experiences.
For here in an atmosphere of applied Christianity I learned
how to work, how to be dependable, how to accept responsi-
bility and carry on to achievement. I learned how to
cooperate with others in various ways. I learned a profound
respect for the rights of other individuals and through it all
I gained a feeling that religion was the normal experience
of a well-rounded life.
One day Dr. Newhall called a number of us boys to-
gether and painted a word picture of life on a farm in the
United States. He then asked how many of us would like
to go to the States and live on a farm. As I remember it,
I was the only one who manifested any positive interest in
such a proposition. A day or two later Dr. Newhall called
me into his study and told me that my sister Anna had
written to him and asked him to send me to her. She was
then living on a farm in Ohio, working for a retired Metho-
dist minister. I told him I would be glad to go and he set

Home, which has since been moved to Seward, Alaska.
I arrived in the small town in Ohio about the middle
of July, 1914. No greener greenhorn ever struck this country.
Life on that farm was not a bed of roses after the glamour
of having a boy from Alaska wore off. I attended the
village school the first year, was not allowed to enter the
grade in which I belonged, but finally proved that I was
capable of doing work two grades above where they placed
me.
After the first year on the farm there was no more school
to speak of. It was work more and more, as an inexperienced
fifteen-year-old boy was expected to do the work of a man
twice his age. I experienced a growing feeling of one who
was abandoned by the very ones who should have held his
interests and life close to heart. Were it not for the en-
couraging letters from Dr. Newhall and my mother it is
hard to think what would have happened. In 1916, on his

looked up a school teacher who had taught in Alaska when
I was there and told him about our conditions of life, urging
him to stand by ready to help when help was needed.
Though I never completely lost consciousness of the
watchful providence of God, yet I began to drift farther
and farther away from Him. However, my sister Anna was
not unmindful of the trust imposed on her by my mother.
She prayed for me and loved me with her whole heart. One
morning during an evangelistic campaign she said, "We're
going down this evening, SO plan to get your work done
early."
That made me uncomfortable for then God spoke to me
and. revealed to me my lost condition and my need. I went
to my room and prayed but found no release. I went back
to work. At noon I went again to my room and prayed and
still found no release. I worked that afternoon with a
heavy heart. Just before supper I again went to my room
for prayer and still no release came. My burden remained
and it was heavy.
After supper I hitched up old Maud and drove down
to the meeting. Anna sang in the choir. I sat through the
service in a kind of daze, hearing the songs, the prayers and
the sermon but really not hearing anything. Finally the
invitation was given, but I refused to accept. Anna watched
me closely and soon came down to where I stood, put her
arms around me and said, "Brother, come on." I went and
knelt at the altar and prayed with my whole heart. God

My dearly Beloved President:-
Dear Mr. President:-
Yes : Your old pest again - Mildred Goss - The
only difference is that I have moved - to the above
address: instead of 623 25th Oakland. They nearly thrice
my rent - SO I had to move -
May I express my fondest hopes that that you may
get a trppel measure at least from the enclosed gift?
Even if it be only a hearty laugh - It will have been
NY
worth the time to make these for you - Dearly beloved
president --
I started the corner of that now miserable world's
happenings - with "Mother China" never believeing that
Hitler would spoil the rest of the world -- The Japs
I knew were always yellow. But it also seems to be
a completely "rotten apple in the barrel" in the form
of A. Hitler.
So you dear president (if you take time to even
look at these) can see it was all I could do to keep
up only working on it in the evenings.
Please - I pray you - at least pay attention to
shall we call it your birthday card - at the bottom-
"War! O'K - But let us really finish the job:
this time over there -"
That is I knew full well the hope of all veterans
and most of we women - I didnt mind giveing my husband
in the last world war - My children in this world war -
if need be - but dearest beloved president - I believe I
speak for all American women - I dont want it to be
necessary to have to give my grand children in another war.
Let's really finish the job this time over there - If
"they over there", had listen to Jack Perishing then -
These war would never have been necessary. And please
let us start now to think about what is going to happen
here after this is over
The need for our men to have work that is vital -
- 2 -
please dont "close up the W.P.A. - here or any place
else - Lets save enough for ourself to at least live
on and not give it allaway. It is my firm belief that the
American wont take an empty stomack then very kindly.
For in dollars & cents we are spending enough money:
in keeping all Europe To own completely with a receipted
bill of sales, most of it now.
There seems no where in anyone's minds what the out-
come of this war will be: dear president - - But between
you and I the afterwards is worrying them; as well as my
own expressures speaking the whole truth: they here are
laying men off right & left on one hand and then "cry-
ing they can't get enough man" in the other It just
Nr
doesn't make sense at all - Doing so: one W.P.A. also
here - many of them veterans: with some disabilty - But
with talent there -
Army & Navy say too old - 45 to 50 Defense work
private say - We'll call you; if we need you - yet dear
pres. the Navy defense work wouldn't take on the W.P.A.
men; from the W.P.A. ranks: because this Oakland office
could in fully promise men a full crew for 24 hours &
a 7 days a week - in other words Navy Defense here -
Begging for men useing radio asking for help advertis-
ing in newspapers for same - & etc while there is really
available W.P.A. crew for full 7 days weekly for one
full shift at least.
You are in full knowledge of all the inside workings -
maybe you could see the Navy's defense reasoning - But
humble people like these men & myself - still are so
old fashion as to believe "one's stomack won't be half
as empty with a half a loaf of bread as it would be with
no bread at all Likewise - the Navy's needs would be
right in the same line . 1 ship is bett I' than none -
True you said - full speed ahead - 24 hrs 7 days a week -
We need it and need it badly Fine - But need it be
necessary to have: just one unit & only the units that can
supply that order to the letter - that can be excepted by
the Navy defense work here - In other words I believe you
only meant dearly beloved president "that the yards would
be working all those days & hours but it would take many
- 3 -
men: Many firms & private persons all working together
to keep the yards going at that full - cutting out all
red tape: takeing all those whom are willing to work:
we can make even more than all the Axis can break up-
Forgive me for writing so much - It only take a
few minutes when able to take to each other - But letters
seems endless - -
God grant you dearest a nice restfull day & much future
happiness
Most humbly gratefull to you & we are with you 100

Dear Mr. Early:
With the day's greetings to the President, on this
his birthday, will you please extend my good wishes and offer him
as a token of admiration, faith and hope in him for the future of
this Nation, these flags for his desk?
The Stars and Stripes, symbolic of the greatest
Nation on earth in which to live, the Legion flag for the greatest
organization within this Nation, and the Defense Service flag for
the greatest job of this Nation. The united front of the President's

Dear Friend:
niversaries of
Even as free America CELEBRATES the birthday an-
Washington and Lincoln
one hundred and thirty million Americans are FIGHTING
to preserve and perpetuate the liberty and freedom that
Washington fathered and Lincoln unified.
On the BATTLEFIELDS, in the SHOPS, in our HOMES
and in our HEARTS, there is but one, and only one
ambition, Victory, -- VICTORY FOR AMERICA AND CIVILIZATION.
To that end, every task and sacrifice is a privilege, --
a privilege that only free men can APPRECIATE, and a war
that only free men can Win.
It was Victory for LIBERTY, with Washington in 1783.
It was Victory for UNITY, with Lincoln in 1865.
It will be Victory for AMERICA AND CIVILIZATION with
Roosevelt in 1942.
It will be "THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE
BRAVE," long after the last of the brutalitarian bandits
shall have learned what every criminal learns sooner or
later--that, crime does not pay.
Victory, and may it come sooher than we hope.

field - all
that is easy
and straight-

away work-
but then
there's a
matter of 48
stars to be
C 0 idered.
Elsie Gorman Lots of flags
get the red white and blue part all
right, but the stars stump the
needlewoman.
But Elsie Gorman, 26 years old
and an invalid most of her life,
solved it all and turned out a per-
fect 40 by 28-inch flag within a
week. How did she to those tricky
stars? Easy! First she did 96 sepa-
rate stars. Then she matched them
up in pairs on opposite sides of the
flag. Then she crocheted them to-
gether-stitching through the fabric
of the blue field-and each side of
the flag has its 48 perfect stars
standing out in crocheted relief.
Besides solving the problem of
making those stubborn stars, Miss
Gorman's flag may be even more
distinctive. She has offered it to
President Roosevelt and is waiting
word to determine whether she will
go to Washington to present it.
Miss Gorman doesn't recall ever
having been taught to knit or
crochet or embroider - she just
learned all three by doing them con-
stantly since she was a little girl.
Granddaughter of a Civil War vet-
eran, she is one of eight sisters.
