Nearly Every Person in Valdez takes
Solemn Pledge of Allegiance—
A Splendid Program
One of the largest audiences ever
gathered in Valdez attended the pat
riotic exercises at Eagle Hall Satur
day night. The program went ofT with
out a hitch and the persons respon
sible for the performance have rea
son to feel proud of the really credit
able program rendered.
Promptly at 8 o’clock Attorney A.
J. Dimond, chairman for the occasion
mounted to rostrum, and after a few
brief eulogies on the energies dis
played by Councilman Thos. Quinn in
arranging the elaborate program,
launched into an impassioned speech
outlining the things this country
stood for in the war for democracy,
and rounding out his remarks with a
vehement denunciation of those who
wanted peace at any price, by point
ing to the situation in Russia today,
where the Bolshevlki had accepted
German peace and laid down their
arms to see their country despoiled
and dismembered. Mr. Dimond’s re
marks were greeted with tumultuous
applause.
A chorus composed of the best
musical talent of Valdez then sang
the national anthem, the audience
standing at attention.
Mrs. George John Zlnn entertain
ed the audience with a reading from
Richard Harding Davis’ vivid story
of "The Deserter.” Mrs. Zlnn is an
elocutionist of rare ability and held
her audience spellbound until the
close, when she was given an encore.
Little Miss Clarice Crawford deliv
ered a speech on the Flag, and res
ponded to an encore by an approp
riate poem on the kaiser, which brot
down the house. She spoke without
embarrassment and in a manner
which showed much ability for one

MAKE SURE THEY CAN’T ENTER YOUR HOME.
Waste and Extravagance are Germany’s Silent Allies.
They will help the Kaiser. They will kill American soldiers.
Every bit of waste, every extravagance takes force from
the power America must put into the war to win. Every penny
spent for luxuries and unnecessary things .is a penny lost to
the production and purchase of goods, clothing, supplies, ships
and munitions for our soldiers.
As long as we spend wastefully, Germany will receive si
lent but powerful help from America; just so much farther
away is the Day of Peace.
Don’t spend thoughtlessly or unnecessarily. Save! With
high wages and plenty of work for everyone there never was
such an opportunity to help yourself and help your country.
Save to help the Government. Lend your savings to your
Country—

quarters, as well as your dollars,, at work.

Miss Blanche Fogg sang "Some
where In France Is a Lily," and with
great success judging by the round
of applause which followed the con
clusion of her song. Sue responded to
repeated demands for an encore by
the patriotic Broadway hit, “Over
There." Miss Fogg has a sweet voice
of fine timbre and great range and
her selections greatly pleased the au
dience.
E. E. Ritchie, the silver tongued
extemporaneous speaker of Valdez
was next on the program, and he ear
ned his hearers with him as he des
cribed the devastation and rape of
Belgium, the oppression of France
and the brutality of the invaders of
these countries. He predicted a long
war, and said that no sacrifice was
too great to make to win the conflict.
He stated that he could not under
stand how any man could fail to stand
behind the government and what it
stood for, and related incidents of
the great wars in which America has
been engaged. He asked his hearers
to be ready to make any sacrifice, to
the last penny, the last breath, the
last and most supreme sacrifice, to
help check German militarism. He
was frequently interrupted by bursts
of applause from his audience, and
his remarks were well chosen and
timely.
The Valdez Orchestra rendered sev
eral fine selections during the pro
gram, and followed Mr. Ritchie’s
speech with a stirring patriotic
march.
The chorus sang “The Red, White
and Blue” in a manner which made
the heart of each hearer respond to
the music, and their number was al
so appreciated, judging by the man
ner in which they were applauded.
Manager Owen Meals showed a
reel of moving pictures depicting
military life in the cantonments.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag was next given, the large au
dience rising to its feet and solemnly
and impressively repeating the pledge
universally adopted by the schools
and colleges of the country: “I pledge
allegiance to the flag and to the coun
try for which it stands, one nation,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.” The occasion was a moment
oub one and every person In the audi
ence without reservation renewed
their pledge of fidelity to the grand
American government and the prin
ciples for which it stood.
The chorus sang "America,” the
audience standing, after which they
were dismissed and the floor cleared
for daiclng, which was indulged in
to a late hour.
To the members of the city coun
cil who had the meeting in charge too
much praise cannot he bestowed. That
their efforts were appreciated is evi
denced by the large crowd attending.
IVm, Meals, assistant postmaster,
painted the large pledge of allegiance
and tlie work showed great merit
from an artistic sense. His work was
donated for the occasion.
The chorus consisted of Mesdames
Martin, Quinn, Clifton, Kramer; the
Misses Kuth Selby, Pearl Miller.
Blanche Fogg; Messrs, McGilvray,
Nonkes, Cuthbert, King and Robbins.
The decorations were fine, huge
American flags being festooned on the
wells, which were also decorated with
smaller flags crossed, and the chan
deliers were hung with bunting.
