from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

“Nothing concealed in my hands,

office Saturday, the last man to

The Kodiakers defended them
selves by flight to the highest and
most inaccessible rocks in the sea,
previously prepared for long seiges,
later ambushing the invaders; those
who had no such refuges nearby,
treked for the mountains.
Watchmen were posted at all
times, at strategic points of van
tage; so well equipped were the Ko
diakers that three times they suc
cessfully repelled the Russian trad
ers armed with black powder and
cannon, and until Shelekoff through
gifts and eloquence secured a foot
hold and their confidence, Russians
were unable to settle. Years later
they regretted their misplaced
! confidence—a change of masters
1 is seldo mbeneficial.
After preparng winter foods in
; the Autumn, Aleuts usually repair
ed their zimnicks—winter cellars—
covering them with grass and sod;
they also dried long lush grass for
bedding and feather mattresses.
The entire community helped the
owner of the Kaxhim, women be
ing excluded.
Anyone desiring ot give an igrush- i
ka called his friends. All seat them
selves on benches, talkusha is
brought in and placed in the cen
ter of the Kazhim, while the host
stands at the entrance. The singing \
immediately starts, each singer try
ing to outdo his neighbor in prais- (
mg his father and forefathers. The *
dost then announces who he in- !
/ends to invite to his igrushka, what j
n’esents he intends distributing and ,
to whom distributde.
As there was only one Kazhim in 1
Kodiak, practically all the igrush- ’
Sas were given there. Each user of
the Kazhim presented the owner of j
'he Kazhim with some suitable gift; j
ilso to the entertainer, some old na- j
dve who used to amuse the guests !
eetween dances. Toward the close j
3f the dance, the evening host of-!
■ered all guests talkusha before dis- !
Dersing for homes.

Setting for the future possibili
j ties of electrical refrigeration, C.
i Lechner, head of the Seward
[Machine Shop and Seward agent
of the Frigidaire Corporation, told
of the company’s plan to sell 600,
000 units of refrigeration equipment
in 1931.
Mr. Lechner characterized elec
tric refrigeration as the greatest
appliance to be developed for the
home since the discovery of electri
| city. The home of the future, he
said, will have two, three or even
four electric refrigerators and the
temperatures of the rooms will be j
thermostatically controlled by the
same means.
Mr. Lechner will welcome the op
portunity to describe the merits of
the Frigidaire to anyone interested
for upon taking over the local
agency a year ago he was given an
extended course in instruction and
repair work by the corporation's
plant expert who personally visit
ed here.
Baseball enthusiasts in Seward

animals can be on the streets, re

KENNETH VV. SIMONS, EDITOR OF THE BISMARCK
(N. DAK.) TRIBUNE, SAYS:—
That if everyone just folded up and assured the world
that things were never going to be any better, the end of
the world, so far as most of us are concerned, would be
just around the corner.
We hear a great deal these days-about business turn
ing the corner. The fast is that we make our own corners
and do our own turning, both as individuals and as a nation.
It the first man who ever made a stone axe told him
self it couldn’t be done, man probably would still be eating
berries, herbs and products of the sail instead of meat. If
fear had prevented the first use of fire, mankind still
■would inhabit only the tropical countries.
If the man wh oinvented the wheel had told himself it
was an impossible proposition, we would still be carrying
on our backs everything we use.
What everyone needs today, every business man,
preacher, teacher, doctor, lawyer and scribe, is more exer
cise. By that I don’t mean the kind one gets from sitting
and bellyaching, but the kind that has always produced
results in the past.Exercise of whatever God put between
our ears and the exercise of which comes from good work.
We need faith. How can anyone doubt the future of
this country and still call himself a good American? If the
country is going to the dogs either morally, physically or
financially, a lot of us are going to be in tough shape. If
it does go to the dogs, it will be our fault.
