Giving Thanks In 1958
AT THE TOP of every Alaskan’s list of things for
Which they are thankful this year will naturally -
be that shining new 49th star that’s going to be some
where on Old Glory before very long.
Just as the Pilgrims, who celebrated the first;
Thanksgiving, were thankful for a new country, so are
we thankful for having achieved full citizenship with
our fellow Americans.
Thanksgiving Day is unique and strictly American.
No holiday quite like it is to be found in any other part
of the world.
It is a religious holiday, yet it is not of any church,
creed, sect or denomination. It is a day when a nation
lifts its heart in thanksgiving to God for all the bless
ings of freedom.
As we celebrate this Thanksgiving Day, let us give
a thought to the limitless abundance which is ours and
which the world is just beginning to realize is here,
of the plans in the making and being created to de
velop this Empire of the North; of the people we are
electing to lead us on this Big Adventure; of this won
derful nation of which we are a part.
Let us be joyous that we are — both Americans
and Alaskans too !

‘Real Tennessee Worms’ -
Sought For Scopes Trial
Play At Anchorage
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., (jft —
A theatrical group in Alaska is
trying to run down some “real
Tennessee fishing worms” for use
in a play.
That’s the report issued yester
day toy the office of Senator Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.), which got
the “S.O.S.” from Mrs. Helen M.
Fischer, Democratic National
Committeewoman at Anchorage.
Mrs. Fischer wrote that Frank
Brink, who is directing “Inherit
The Wind,” a play based on the
famous Scopes evolution trial,
feels the Alaskan worms’ blue
eyes “would detract from the
play’s dramatic impact.”
She said it was hoped the worms
could come from Dayton, Tenn..
where the famous sensational trial
took place in 1925. Dayton is about
35 miles northeast of Chattanooga.
A Kefauver office spokesman
said the request was “rather un
usual.” tout that the worms would
be supplied.
“We don’t know whether we’ll
be able to get them from Day
ton, however.”

Seneca Indians
Lose Court Battle
To Save Lands
WASHINGTON, UP) — The U. S.
Court of Appeals today upheld the
government’s right to flood lands
of the Seneca Nation of Indians
in connection with a flood con
trol project.
The three-judge court ruled
unanimously that Congress had
authorized the taking of the In
dian lands for a reservoir.
A dam will be built at Kinzua,
Pa., but the reservoir will extend
into New York State and inun
date a large portion of the Seneca
reservation.
The Seneca nation had sought
an injunction to halt construction
of the 111-million-dollar flood
control project, contending they
had permanent rights to the land
under a 1794 threaty signed by
President George Washington.
The court said it is undisputed
that the proposed flooding will in
fringe rights acquired by the
treaty, but Congress can authorize
taking the land despite the treaty.
The Senecas did not fare as well
before the court of appeals as the
Tuscarora Indians did in a similar
case two weeks ago.
In that case the court blocked,
for the time being at least, the
flooding'®! more than 1,000 acres
of the Tuscarora Reservation in*
Western New York for a storage
reservoir for the 625-miJlion-dol
!ar Niagara Falls Hydro-Electric
Development.
