GOVERNOR’S ENDORSEMENT
The approach of the holiday
season once again brings the sim
pie, direct appeal of Christmas
Seals to the citizens of Alaska.
To protect hom?s from the trag
edy caused by the dread ravag
es of tuberculosis is the never
ending objective of the Christ
mas Seal campaign. In the final
analysis, ours is a community of
homes and what could be more
vital than the unceasing vigil
ance and protection of these
homes.
As governor of Alaska, it gives
me great pleasure and a sense of
fulfilling official duty to endorse
whole-heartedly the purchase of
Christmas Seals as a method of
raising funds for the fight again
at tuberculosis. As Governor and
a private citizen I hope that all
our citizens will buy as many
seals as possible and that every
greeting card and gift package
going forth from the Territory
will carry this decoration, at
testing that Alaska is doing its
part in a great drive.
(Signed) John W. Troy,
Governor
BOOK WRITTEN “LIQUOR
THE SERVANT OF MAN”
Working on the thesis that li
quor has been libeled too long,
a pair of authors have turned
out a volume labeled “Liquor,
The Servant of Man.”
The writers are Walton Hall
Smith, novelist and short story
scribe, and Ferdinard Helwig, as- |
sociate professor of pathology at
the University of Kansas.
Among their claims are that al
cohol does not cause delirium
tremens and does not affect the i
liver. However, they say it has
fathered religion and science and
agriculture, provided more hu
man confidence, promoted good
will toward men, and tends to im
prove the race.
Alcohol also delays hardening
of the arteries, Smith and Dr.
He’wig maintain.
This probably accounts for the
robbery condition of the limbs of
individuals frequently pointed
out as pickled in alcohol.
