SCRAP BOOK EXCERPTS
(By “Babe” Hayes, Cordova)
“My trip to Alaska was certanly a
revelation to me in more ways than
one. Due to our very intimate and
pleasmg contact with Alaska and
Alaskans. I thought I had a good
idea of what Alaska meant, but it
took a personal contact to demon
■t me that I was not fully
appreciative of what Alaska means
and what Alaska is doing in spite
various handicaps. 1
SMALLPOX IN FAIRBANKS

cases of smallpox under treat

“A: no place in my travels have I
encountered such courtesy, such
hospitality as I did on my trip into
Southwestern and the Fairbanks
country. I can now undersand why
|peop'e like to live in Alaska.” C. C
