RECOGNITION FOR SEWARD
.Through the energies of The Gateway, there is now
available for distribution a thousand or more United
Stares automobile touring maps, showing routes and dis
tances for every State in the Union, Canada and the Phil
ippine Island. These may be had by calling at or writing
to The Gateway. 4
On the reverse side of the map is the following nota
tion. Also names of progressive newspapers which have
latest accurate road condition information available for
motorists.” Under the head of Alaska only The Gateway!
is listed.
Thus Seward and its newspaper finds not only recog
nition in the States but millions of travelers are reminded
that it is the leading source of information in the Terri
ory.
!Now it s the shade of heroic Balto, Gunar Kasson’s
leader, which is undergoing “debunking.” A Broadway
Arctic explorer says Balto was a myth. Yes, so was Dan
iel Boone, Ezra Meeker, Captain Cook, Buckner, Lewis
and Clarke, Amundsen, Nansen and Eielson. Which goes
to show that what does not happen on Broadway just isn't.
NEWS ITEMS OF 1776
Items from old newspapers are of interest to many,
and so we have found a few taken from a copy of The
Massachusetts Sun, published in Worcester on July 17,
1776, the front page of which was devoted to the Declara
tion of Independence, then less than two weeks old. A
news letter from New York said:
On Wednesday last, the Declaration of Independence
>vas lead at the head of each brigade of the Continental
Ai my at or near New Y ork, and everywhere received with
loud huzzas and utmost demonstrations of joy. The same
evening the equestrian statue of George III, was by the
sons of freedom laid prostrate in the dirt. The lead where
with this monument was made is to be run into bullets,
to assimilate with the brains of our infatuated adversar
ies, wiho, to gain a pepper-corn, have lost an Empire.”
A resolution hk the House of Representatives at Wa
tertown requester? that people of the colony donate their
leaden window wights for the making of bullets.
Afmong other notices was one stating that there were
“a considerable number of prisoners in the town, who are
willing to go out to service if proper persons should ap
pear to hire them.”
Delinquent subscribers were a problem in those early
days, as they have been ever since, it appears from a card
from the publisher who thanked those readers who had
paid up, adding: “He begs that such as have not paid him
would pay their respective balances, which will greatly
vantage it must be to him to have so many small sums in
different hands, therefore would now request that they
would pay heir respective balances, which will greatly
oblige their humble servant, Isaiah Thomas.”
Alfter 155 years a good many publishers may still
find Mr. Thomas' courteous suggestion quite applicable to
present conditions.
Every dog has his day. The panic has put enough
cars out of commission to allow the pedestrian to cross a
street without the aid of a vaulting pole.
What's the matter with mass production of weddings
and thus get rid of the rice surplus?
It now appears that the British conferees are not so
apprehensive, of Gandhi’s demands as they are of his
threats to bring his goats into the room.
