THE MEN WHO CARRY ON
When the full history of Nuka
Bay is written and details of the
pioneering which was necessary
before the great rich quartz camp
became a producer, one name will
find its way into nearly every
chapter. It is that of Captain Pete
Sather.
It may be said that no one influ
ence has exerted greater effect
upon Nuka Bay than Captain Sath
er’s loyalty and faith and the many
aids he has extended to prospect
ors. Without these aids it is muta
ble if such progress as has marked
the past season could have been
accomplished.
No prospector found refusal in
traveling to and from Nuka Bay.
And none may say that Captain
Sather ever was derelict perform
ing the many services and com
missions entrusted to him.
While there may be those en
titled to the name of father of
Nuka Bay, Captain Sather is de
serving of the title of Mother to a
large flock of energetic prospect
ors whom he nursed along and as
sisted in getting a start.

TRIANGULAR RELATION
The National Recovery Act came |
into being in a time of stress, and j
it was generally supposed that the j
Act would not survive the emer- j
gency out of which it arose. Its*
primary purpose was to give work['
to the unemployed, and it was re-1;
garded as a creature of the day.! '
and soon to be outmoded.
There seems, however, to be an;
undercurrent of opinion that j
somehow it may be extended to a;
wider scope of operation than ori- j
ginally planned, and that, perhaps ;
in a revised or altered form, it may J
continue to function for an indefi-i
nite period.
Those ho have seen the NRA
put into operation may not have I
witnessed simply the bridging-over j
of a presently-confronting gulf.'
They may have been in at the very j
start oi a far-reaching and endur- i
ing policy which will alter indus- j
trial history and work definite and j
permanent changes in the trian
gular relation involving the em- ;
ployer. the worker and the Federal!
government.

faction at one-half the regular

INSPIRING TALK
BY FR. SULZMAN
BEFORE S. W. C.
An interesting meeting of the
Art Department of the Woman’s
Club was held on Thursday after
noon, at the apartment of Mrs. A.
D. Haverstock. A paper was read by
Mrs. L. J. Chilberg, chairman of i
the department, which traced the
development of paintings from
the earliest Greek paintings, thru
the early Christian era, and up to
the period of the High Renais
sance, which produced the greatest
masters of all time—Michelange
lo. Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.
Tlie treat of the afternoon was
the talk by Father Merrill Sulzman.
He told of the splendor of St. Pet
ers (the Vatican, Rome), of the
wonderful art treasures there,
opened briefly the door of the Sis
tine Chapel, and gave a glimpse of
the Ceiling painted by the great
est master—Michelangelo.
He told of the Mosaic factory in
the Vatican where all the gradual
ly fading old masterpieces are be
ing reproduced in mosaic for pos
terity. And he told the surprising
fact that the masterpieces of Rem
brandt and Titian are preserved by
the Soviets in the Hermitage which
was the private art gallery of the
Czar of Russia. In the days of the
Czar, this was closed to all but the
Czar’s friends. The Soviets have
thrown open the doors and the
common people are daily visitors.
This inspiring talk by Father
Sulzman is a promise of what the
women can expect at the monthly
meetings of the Art Department of
the Club, as he has consented to
continue his talks throughout the j
Club year.
