THE NEED OF A COAST GUARD VESSEL
Again is clearly seen the reason why this district oJ
the coast is in dire need of the stationing of a U. S. Coasi
Guard vessel the year-round, in the present predictameni
the little town of Katlla finds itself. Late arrivals in Sew
ard from Cordova bring word that the village is running
low on food supplies owing to the recent loss of the gaf
boat Pioneer, wrecked two months ago.
Lying in the location it is, smaller craft will hardly
ever venture the trip during the winter months owing t(
the hazards attached in going to sea, heavily laden, t(
reach that port facing the raw ocean. Even the Pioneer, at
staunch as it was, met its fate there.
But aside from this one case this paper has pointec
out many times in the past the need of a coast guard ves
sel being stationed in these waters. Not a winter goes b}
but what wrecks occur in Southwestern Alaska and tho
perhaps, even with the stationing of a cutter here, manj
would still founder, many lives might be saved, as well at
boats.
We see many cutters during the summer months
when danger from storms are at a minimum. Why not re
verse the order of things; station the cutters in Alaska
waters when they are needed and, in the summer months
let them bask in the so-called balmier climes in the States
UP TO ANCHORAGE TO ANSWER
Anchorage is up against a difficult matter to satis
factory explain away a curious news item published re
cently. We quote the Valdez Miner:
A couple of weeks or so ago we reprinted an iten
from the Anchorage Times which stated that 37 babiei
were born in Anchorage in 1927,17 boys and 17 girls, “th<
first time in six years that both sexes were equally repre
sented.” An observing reader of The Miner later told ui
the item had interested him intensely not so much because
of the increase in the population of Anchorage, but be
cause of the curiosity it aroused as to the sex of the thre<
infants that were neither male nor female. We had to con
fess we did not know and we did not like to hazard <
guess, so the gentleman’s curiosity remains unsatisfied.

DOESN’T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE
There’ll be a lot of trouble at the polls this year, try
ing to tell where people live. In this day of motor cars am
movies, champion swims and world flights, it’s really dif
ficult to tell the “legal residence’’ of any voter. If you cal
that place he or she goes to dress to start out agaii
HOME—well, if that place happens to be in your precinct
guess you might as well let ’em vote. They can’t do mud
harm anyway.
The office seeks the man probably about as man;
times as the man seeks the wife in Leap Year.

That the "Amateur Night” to be
held Monday night at the Liberty
theater under the auspices of the Sew
ard Athletic Club, in addition to the
regular feature picture, promises to
be a success, is proved by the large
number of entries.
In addition to those already prom
ised, who will “strut their stuff,” the
following will also appear;
Francis Leslie and "Slim” Lenliart,
i» a duet.
Jack Rosness, Ray Manthey, Sam
Estes and Ed Sandbeck, in a laugh
bursting skit entitled "The Misery
Bozos.”
Then there will be Sylvia Sandbeck,
Billy Shellhorn and Marion McIntosh.
Mrs. A. Kunz has volunteered to aid
the Club on that night and will play
the piano for any of the actors who
desire piano accompaniment.
Attention is again called that cash
prizes will be awarded. In view of
this the amateurs are expected to put
forth their best efforts.
GET LIFE TWICE?
The six convicts, involved in the
Thanksgiving riot in Folsom prison,
have been found guilty and have
been sentenced to life imprisonment.
All of them were already under sen
tence to life imprisonment, says the
radio.
At Girdwood this morning the tem
perature registered 40 above; a
southeaster was blowing a gale and
rain was falling in bucketful!s.
It is said there are at least 50
people in Anchorage*'awaiting an op
potuhity to come to Sev/a* i and
take South.
If the railroad was double-tracked
from Mile 56, and North, still the
read would be blocked, railroaders
say, such is the present condition of
the slide area above Portage.
It is Mowing a southeaster out at
sea, halibut fishermen state, who re
turned to port last night.

No sign of the prohibition officers,

that they were coming over on the
