THE OLYMPIC GAMES
It is known there are a number of Alaskans who plan journeying
to far off Los Angeles this summer to witness the Olympic Games. This
is as it should be.
The careful student of human history knows that a progressive
people invariably take a keen interest in contests of personal skill or
prowess.
The Olympic Games were the muse of Grecian glory. Athletics fos
ter a spirit of manly, self-reliance, a proud contempt for danger that
made possible the Field of Marathon and the Pass of Thermopylae.
The athletes who compete in Olympic Games do not contend for
money but for honor. What a difference from our professionals of today.
In the Grecian days winners were awarded a wreath of wild olive.
Jack will work about the same as he plays. Educators know this
whicn makes possible such excursions as the Seward High School
basketball team, which has just concluded an intercity series at Fair
banks and who play an Anchorage squad tonight. We care not if they
lose so long as they give the best in them and conduct themselves as
young gentlemen: a credit to their home town.
The Olympic Games are the sports of men strong in hand, limb and
heart. Yes, indeed, if we had the price we also would join the Alaska
caravan to Los Angeles.

One of those wonderful government bulletins says "a trapped skunk
can be killed without disagreeable odorous consequences if it is ap
proached slowly and quietly and given a sharp blow across the back
with a stick.” To Alaska trappers we merely pass along the information
without vouching for its accuracy.
Cities, swarms of men and women, riches, luxury, poverty—these
are not in nature's scheme of life. Those who dwell close to the soil, in
the country or frontier, are fortunate.

r THIS MAKES US GLAD
Arrivals from Fairbanks report
that the Seward high school bas
ketball team was not only out
weighed but out-sized by their op
ponents but were cheered roundly
by the spectators for their fighting
spirit .even though they were on
the losing end. Passengers and
members of the train crew arriv
ing here Tuesday said they had
never had the pleasure of seeing
a more gentlemanly bunch o f
boys than the behavior of the lo
cal lads- These kind remarks ought
to make Sewardites hearts swell
with pride.

A great story of the love of a fireman for the wife of
his pal’s, the engineer's wife. Elemental passion—brute
strength—love—sacrifice—d e v o t i o n. With a wonderful
background of crumbling bridges—swirling waters and
rushing trains.
