THE ANNUAL TREK
The exodus of oldtimers to the States this fall is not
alarming to the old sourdough who has witnessed the an
nual trek about the time the first snows whiten the hills.
Many of these oldtimers have been in Alaska for a
quarter of a century without going Outside, and their
trip will make life more endurable for them upon their
return next spring. When one gets Outside and sees the
thousands upon thousands of people milling and drifting
around the streets, he wants to get back to where people
travel only because they have something to do at the end
of the journey.
Hitlerites salute by raising one hand. Preparing them
for the time when he will demand they stick ’em both up.
Goldologists claim our money is not sound. Just let
’em try dropping a nickel on a rubber mat and watch the
scramble that follows.
If unemnloyment continues it may be necessary for
John Holzworth to withdraw his interest in brown bears
to help create reserves for wild men.
