SIGNIFICANCE OF NEW YEAR’S
Tho completing of the 12-months cycle is but a nat
ural sequence in the evolution .of time and has no signi
ficance in its relation to human progress. A man may
compute age in years, weeks, or days and it would not
halt the pendulum.
But significance is given to the occasion because
some pogressive spirit in times past hit upon the idea of
making it the occasion for a sort of a get-together per
iod, when a checkup is made on progress for the past 12
months and a survey made and computations indulged
on what will be accomplished in the more temperate
months of the year to follow.
Hence we have New Year resolutions ranging all the
way from for-swearing taking a drink, making money
and many other such foolish things.
Everything points to the necessity for making some
determined resolutions for the year 19J3. National con
ditions place Alaska about in the position of the youth
having reached the age of 21, being told by his father
to get out into the world and begin carving for himself.
And these same conditions leave Alaska in a posi
tion like hosts gathered at a banquet spread with rich
viands, while the cider portion of the nation is gathered
at a table where others have feasted and left only scraps
to be pawed over.
Our resolutions should be led by one calling for com
bined effort looking to rearing another story on the
structure already completed by waging a spirited cam
paign for investing capital and pooling of our own re
sources in a manner which will encourage others to join
in the movement.
The year 1933 will reveal whether we stand still, go
backward or march forward.
If John Holzworth must have a reservation for wild
life why not give him an island and put all the “they
says” and “why hit theys” on it. But we would think he
has ample “wild life” in New York without butting in
to Alaska’s innocent loves.

Japan’s two billion yen budget indicates that while
she was giving China the coatsleeve around the wind
pipe and swiping her stickpin, the wily heathen lifted
the Nipponese wallet. And she yens for more.

Orange bolt residents of California, where snow re

residents of Alaska.

The lame duck session has passed and not a howl
from Nebraskee How’l. Tst! Tsk! Tsk! Can it be that
he is mad at Alaska because we won’t play his way?

Dr. A. J. Barton, national dry force leader, says the
attempt at nullification of the Volstead and repeal of the

INTERCITY BASKETBALL
GAMES WILL START
PROMPTLY, US SAID
Two well known gentlemen in
local sport circles left the city
Tuesday, on skiis, for their wilder
ness cabin near Pirate Gulch and
Deadman’s Curve, Mile 12. This
evening they will board the Ex
press Special, thundering down
from the mountains, officially ex
tend greetings and welcome to
the Anchorage boys and girls high
school teams, and escort them into
the city.
Richard Prosser and Barton
Station are the sportsmen referred
to above.
The Special train is due a*- the
Union Depot at 6:30 o’clock
where three bands will flare into
patriotic and jazzy airs. A 10-gun
salute from the old Russian can
non will be fired by Sourdough
Bill who will officiate and turn
over the keys of the city. Follow
ing a tour of the city, the inva
ders, who have 13 scalps tied to
their waists this season, will be
gin to think about the first game
of their series which starts at 8
o’clock sharp—no foolin’—provid
ing, of course, the train arrives on
time.
While the Anchorage girls are
beauties, so are the Sewardites
and spectators are assured of their
money’s worth. Both teams com
prise clever players and its go
ing to be anybody’s battle until
the final blast.
The Anchorage Hi boys are go
ing to run into a surprise this
evening; for years they have been
using Seward as a door mat but
the 1932-.33 squad is different fel
lows: “Look a little bit out.”
Tonight’s game starts at 8 o’
clock with the girls hitting the
ball first. Thursday night at the
Thirsty? Try SYLVIA’S fountain.

PERHAPS IN EGYPT
LONDON, Dec. 28, —An earth
quake, lasting more than two
hours, was recorded on a seismo
graph. J. J. Shaw, seismologist,
said he bleieved the quake to be
4,560 miles distant, either in Mon
golio or the West Indies. Quakes
have been shaking the latter for
the past four days.
HORSES DECREASING
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 27, —Ariz
ona, one of the few remaining
frontier sections of America, boasts
an increasing number of automo
biles and a decreasing number of
horses. Twelve years ago there

the state. Today there are only
77,000 according to the state cen
sus figures.
