POOR YOUTH BRINGS HONOR TO ALASKA
Announcement comes that Albert Heckey, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ross Heckey of Chickaloon has graduated from
the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis and will take his
place in the line that leads to great honor.
Albert Heckey is the type of boy who in later life
stands in high places and guides the destiny of a nation.
Born of poor but honorable old American stock, he has,
under the guidance of an old-time mother and father, won
the first trench in the battle for his ultimate goal. All
those who remember him as a sedate, studious, industrous
youth will rejoice in his success. This success is the fruit
of the conditions which encompassed his early youth,
when he set his face to the accomplishment of a task and
adhered strictly to the program calculated to bring re
sults. As a printer's apprentice he was diligent and thor
ough. Time that might have been spent irr idle pursuit of
youthful thrills and irresponsibilities was given to study.
From newsboy to linotype operator he progressed steadi
ly onward, winning the respect and admiration of all who
knew him and carving for himself a niche in the little
world serving as the theatre of his activities. In having
won his diploma as an ensign in the navy there is reason
to believe he will go farther and add to the honor he has
already bestowed upon himself, his family and Alaska.
SIGNS OF PROGRESS
AND now it's the creak of the electric train drowning
™ out the soft swish of the dog-drawn sled—moving
steel challenging the romance of Alaska. The new Brill
cars which arrived for the Alaska Railroad last week, a
$50,000 train, already has come in for considerable praise
from those who have ridden on its first few trips between
Seward and Anchorage. The train is much larger than
its predecessor and therefore much more comfortable.
The time is not far off, apparently, when there will be a
train a day out of Seward, signalling better service, better
business, not only for the railroad but for the towns
served.
AMONG the eight Chevrolet passenger car models
XjL there is one particularly suited for every driving
preference—a Chevrolet for everybody, everywhere.
The development of this complete line of low-priced
modern quality cars is a notable achievement in fine
car building. It represents the result of 14 years’ con
sistent improvement and endless testing on the
world’s greatest proving ground. It touches every cross
section of American life.
The family seeking an all-purpose automobile—those
women and men who require personal cars of un
questioned smartness—the business man who demands
combined economy, utility and fine appearance—
owners of high-priced automobiles who wish to enjoy
the advantages of additional transportation without
sacrifice of quality or prestige—
—all find in Chevrolet exactly the car that meets their
needs, at a price whose lowness reflects the economies
of gigantic production!

HOLY Ml" PROMISES
TO MIKE RONEY GOLD
•BOMBAY, India, July 9. (/P)— A
pseudo “holy man” is engaging the
attention of the Bombay police. The
simple faith of the Indian native en
ables him to reap a rich harvest.
Posing as a religious mendicant
endowed with the gift of magic, he
claims to have been given power by
the goddess of good fortune that en
ables him to turn honey into gold.
Visiting native houses, he induces
the women to make a present of
their jewelry to the goddess, and in
return presents them with a pot of
honey. This pot, he tells them, must
be placed under the doorstep and af
ter two days it would be found that
the honey would be turned to gold,
and on top of the gold the family
jewelry, returned by the goddess.
