LET’S BE A GOOD CITIZEN
By Robert L. Kemp
Patriotic Instructor, Department of Alaska, V.F.W.
On June 16, 1897, the arrival of the steamer Ex
celsior at San Francsico from Alaska with sixty pros
pectors and $800,000 in gold dust started the stam
pede towards Alaska’s Bonanza Creek. Few struck it
rich and few settled here. This message is addressed
to those of you who live here now, or are considering
making it your home.
Alaska is fabulously wealthy in minerals and nat
ural resources; it has become a defense spending cen
ter of the United States. Because of these combinations,
our growth and financial security are a foregone con
clusion.
Prosperity alone is not enough to make this terri
tory a good place to live. We must all strive and work
towards the goal of good citizenship. This does not
mean the conquering of lawlessness or the building of
bigger towns and cities alone, but also the uniting of
a spirit of loyalty and patriotism towards our country.
Our freedom is assured by the first ten amend
ments to the United States Constitution, which were
ratified on Dec. 15, 1791, and are known as “The Bill
of Rights.’’ The Bill of Rights guarantees explicitly
the most important personal privileges you may enjoy
as an American citizen. This Bill protects you against
persecution and infringement of personal liberties. It
was written by our forefathers to make crystal clear
the Constitution’s intended safeguarding of justice for
every citizen.
At a conference held in Washington, D.C., in Feb
ruary 1927, by the commanders in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, United Spanish War Veterans,
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, the
national commanders of the American Legion and
the Disabled American Veterans of the World War,
the definition of Americanism was promulgated as
the following:
“Americanism is an unfailing love of country;
loyalty to its institutions and ideals; eagerness to
defend it against all enemies; undivided allegiance
to the flag; and a desire to secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and posterity.”
If Americanism is practiced as well as thought
about you will make this a better country for your
family, children and friends to live in.
Reporter’s Quote
In Eisenhower
Interview Denied
WASHINGTON, WV-President
Eisenhower met Monday with a
group of Republican candidates,
and a newsman’s interview with
one of them drew quick denials
from all concerned.
Garnett Horner of the Washing
ton Evening Star reported that
George S. Spence, running for
Congress from the 5th congres
sional district in Tennessee, told
of a conversation the candidate
had with Eisenhower.
Horner said Spence related he
had told Eisenhower small farm
ers in the middle Tennessee area
realize that “to make a living
they have to get off their butts
and to work like everybody else.”
Homer said Spence told him Eis
enhower replied, “I agree with
that.”
Spence later called the account
“completely misconstrued, incom
plete and out of context.” Spence
added:
“The following is what actually
took place ... I told the President
that my father had always said
that to make a living on a farm,
today as always, a man has to get
off his butt and work like every
body else, that you can’t make
ends meet on a $10,000 farm with
$40,000 worth of equipment sitting
around idle. The President made
no comment whatsoever.”
Before Spence’s denial, White
House Press Secretary Hagerty
had queried Eisenhower about the
reported conversation. Hagerty
said the President did not recall
“hearing such a remark.”
“And whatever Mr. Spence re
ported or thought he was report
ing,” Hagerty said, “certainly
doesn’t reflect the President’s
opinion and often-expressed feel
ings."
It’s No Feud, Says
Elsa, Just Didn’t See
Duchess on Liner
NEW YORK, liD—The Duchess
of Windsor and Elsa Maxwell,
who used to be good friends, ar
rived from Europe Tuesday on
the same liner without having
met enroute.
“I knew she was on board,”
said the duchess. “I didn't happen
to see her.”
“1 never laid eyes on her,” com
mented Miss Maxwell in another
stateroom. “We have no feud, but
I have no interest in her. A ship
is a wonderful thing, you know.”
Miss Max'well is well known as
a party giver.
Informed that Miss Maxwell
broke a rib at a dinner party in
Monaco three weeks ago, the
duchess said: "It’s very painful.”
The duke and duchess are here
for a two-week visit, during
which her book of memoirs, “The
Heart Has Its Reasons," will be
published.
The duke said he was consider
ing a cattle breeding project on
his ranch near Calgary, Alberta.
High Taxes Will Be
With Us Long Time,
Says Treasury Official
LOS ANGELES Wl—High taxes
will he needed for a long time,

U.S. Treasury.
Laurens Williams told the Tax
Executives Institute Monday:
“As long as the world situation
continues to demand high expen
ditures for defense . . you may
expect limited relief' in some
quarters, but for all practical pur
poses the nation’s needs will re
quire high taxes for a long time
to come.”
