TRAGEDY OF MONTREAL
Despite the warnings presented in the daily press,
and the reiteration of the caution to remain quiet and
orderly during a possible fire hazard or some other in
cident, occurring where the people are gathered, the
tragedy of panic was repeated at Montreal today when
75 child lives were snuffed out during a fire scare in a mo
tion picture theatre.
The tragedy, which strikes the heart of every parent
in the land, and evokes their deepest sympathy for the
bereaved fathers and mothers of our sister Canadian
city, might have been1 averted had the children been in
structed what to do in cases of this kind. Even grown
ups may draw a lesson from the tragedy. The need for
constant individual and collective instruction of children
in self-command during such emergencies cannot be
stressed too strongly. Only a fool will yell “fire” in a
crowde building. The fool may be eliminated by parents
retelling the story to children until they grasp the full
meaning of the danger of panic under stress of excite
ment. No one knows where the next case will occur—it
may even happen in Seward. In that event, if everyone
will refrain from rushing the doors, there would be plenty
of time for all to escape without injury.
If you know there is fire, set an example for others by
coolness and self-control

“While I believe the Philippines
are capable of full political freedom
and independence, I would not advo
cate independence from the Ameri
can flag,” said Pedro Bouncuan,
graduate of the University of Wash
ington with the degree of Bachelor
of Science, and an interne at the
Anchorage Government hospital for
the past year and a half. Mr. Boun
cuan, is en route to the States, where
he expects to spend six months
working to secure funds with which
to enter the University of Pennsyl
vania as a medical student.
“I cannot express too highly my
appreciation of the many kindnesses
shown me at the Anchorage hospital
and especially the deep interest man
ifested by Dr. Romig,” said Mr.
Bouncuan. There are few self-sus
taining Filipino students in the Unit
ed States, and it is hard to explain
the deep feeling of appreciation felt
for the assistance given to my people 1
in their efforts to acquire an educa
tion, especially in the higher branch
es.
“While the Filipinos have, in my
opinion, arrived at the point where
they could properly excercise politi
cal independence, I believe there
should be no change until the Islands
are made economically independent.
We see boys and girls emerging from
the schools filled with enthusiasm
and steeped in the knowledge of
America’s struggle for Independence
and eager to take their place in the
economic life of the Islands, but
hampered and restricted by military
government which practically depriv
es them of their resources and al
lows them to pass into the hands of
big capitalists. That is the principle
plaint of the Filipino. The supreme
power of the United States should
be excercised by a civilian and not
a military man.”
Cal Hutton, son of Mrs. Andy Novak,

short business trip to the States.

A typographical error was made
Saturday in the name of Guy Manthey.
It was stated he had been appointed
assistant scout master. The “y” in
Guy should have been an “s”, for it
wras the “dad” not the son who was
elected.
