PAT MURPHY’S
LAUDABLE AMBITION
Fifteen year old Pat Murphy,
-one of millions of boys of sim
ilar age in America, orients him
self above the mass with a com
munication to the Fairbanks
Chamber of Commerce. Pat de
clares:
“1 want to come to Alaska, be
a prospector—not to get a lot of
money and leave the country—
but to do my share for Alaska
and live a man’s life in a man's
country in the great outdoors.
How can I do it. Where can I
get gold.”
There’s a spirit to be admired
and encouraged. The boy’s letter,
read in more detail, reveals he
has meager knowledge of Alas
ka, and how to go about it to
locate the elusive paystreak and
win its wealth.
But he is not to be frowned up
on. He is the sort that Alaska
needs to encourage. If there were
tens of thousands of Pat Mur
phy’s—not exactly his age, but
a little older and with the same
urge and with proper means,
equipment and instruction or
knowledge of how to go about
it, they would speed up the min
■cral development of this vast
empire in a way hitherto un
known.
Alaska needs more young men
in this particular field—‘worthy
successors of the pioneers who
hlazed the way into the country.
But they sihould not expect to
come here penniless or unpre
pared.
Youths like Pat will do well to
take up a miming course. At
least attend such classes as the
short mining course of the Uni
versity of .Alaska and its exten
i sion service are now offering—
! and p rhaps eventually qualify
for their chosen woric in certain
■ number as mining engineers.
It will be a graceful act for
those in the know to write young
Pat and give him the facts—and
help h;m to get the right start.
And to do likewise for others
with the same ambition to come
and share Alaska’s opportunities
and "live a man’s life in a man’s
country" and—as he says, not
leave the country but to remain
and do his part for Alaska. Pat’s
home is Charlestown, Indiana,
where he is a High School soph
omore. Don’t forget him.

COLD PREVENTION
The following is contributed
by Mrs. Ida Sprenger, Nome Pub
lie Health Nurse:
This is the time of year when
colds are apt to be prevalent.
Ordinary colds are contagious
and a cold is more easily trans
ferred to others during the early
stages.
You may get a cold by breath
ing germs into your mouth and
nose, if you are near a person
who is talking, coughing or sneez
ing. You may touch something
which the infected person has
had in his hands or you might
drink from a glass which has not
been boiled after the person with
a cold has drunk from it.
The early signs of 4 cold such
as tickling, soreness, or dryness
in the throat, sneezing, or a run
<> Wings on high, brings Christmas Cheer, •!

Happy thoughts, throughout the year. <■

I
ning nose are often the same as
the early signs of influenza and
other contagious diseases such as
measles, scarlet fever, and
i whooping cough. So it is also im
portant to take care of what
seems at first to be a cold as if
may turn out to be a more ser
ious sickness.
Colds of long duration may so
. weaken the body that ground is
! broken for pneumonia, tubeircul
j osis and various chronic intfec
! tions of the nose and threat. It
is important to clear uip a cold
as soon as possible. Many deaf
| people can trace their deafness
to a cold.
As in all other diseases, preven
'tion is biter than cure. Colds
• can often be prevented if you
stay away from people with
j colds. Wear sensible clothing and
keep your body in good condi-:
\ tinn by eating the right kinds of
i food .including milk, eggs, fruits,
I and green vegetables; by sleep
ing at least eight hours out of
twenty-four; by exercising out
doors every day when possible;
and by drinking at least six
glasses of water daily.
