WHO DARE ADVERTISE?
Usually the argument is made that every business
concern should advertise. Generally speaking, this is true,
but there are exceptions. In fact, some concerns hardly
dare to advertise, because they can not make good ac
cording to the requirements of modern business practices.
When advertising is untruthful and misleading it
does more harm than good. Only an enterprise which ful
fills the promises made in its advertising can stand the
spotlight of publicity. Hence, when we find a firm boldly
advertising its wares or service, month after month and
year after year, we may generally conclude that it can
and does give real values. In addition you will find it al
so is numbered among the most substantial firms of the
town.
Observing the advertised businesses of any commun
ity, large or small, will enable one to identify the most de
pendable concerns in that community. Only efficient and
reputable firms dare to advertise.
THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
While science has been cudgeling its brain, and like
Ponce de Leon searching for the fountain of youth, it de
velops that it is merely a question of spuds and fish.
In the Islands of Tristan de Cunha, situated in the
South Atlantic ocean, out of a population of 156 souls all
but 25 have perfect teeth, and the 25 have no cavities.
Many men 75 years of age have all of their teeth, and
the populace subsists on potatoes and fish. It is composed
of seven families, all white, and intermarriage has shown
no deterioration in health, mentality or physique. In the
Hymalayas, at an altitude of 14,000 feet, there dwells a
colony numbering 600 persons, where ages range up to
150 years. These people are descended from the Chal
deans and have not been in contact with civilization for
centuries.
Among curious things going on in this land of ours,
the following may be mentioned. The grandson of Kaiser;
Wilhelm of Germany is working in an auto factory in De-1
troit. Twenty thousand persons turned out to see the Cal-1
ifornia frog break; a record at a frog-jumping match. A
Chicago boy has made a twenty mile per hour auto from
the remains of a discarded washing machine. One inves
tigator has discovered that Ben Franklin originated day
light saving, and another finds that George Washington
raised tobacco but hated to use it. Through a clerical er
ror, a quantity of envelopes prepared by a Congressman
to niail copies of a dry Prohibition speech were filled
with pamphlets prepared by a very wet fellow-legislature.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson indicates that if he es-!
capes the pokey on a charge of reckless driving, he will
not vote for Hoover. Well, there is always left Bishop
Cannon and McBride.
The Democrats hope to produce a platform contain
ing but 1,000 words. Now if they will pledge themselves
to limit the blah, blah boys in Congress to that space,
well pledge our vote.
Maybe that Bourbon contention respecting the two
thirds rule has to do with how much water should go into
the “shot” they propose to offer the nominee to steady
his nerves.
Many farmers have found that the cow, sow and hen
afford more effective relief than all the politicians.

! THOMAS NEVILLE BEEN
' RECOMMENDED RECEIVE
COLORADO SCHOLARSHIP
Considerable honor fell the lot
of an outstanding graduate of the
Seward high school when in the
last mail an announcement was
received by Superintendent V. H.
DeBolt, of the local schools, from
W. K. Keller, Commissioner of Ed
ucation for the Territory of Alaska,
saying that he had recommened
that Thomas Neville, Jr. be given
a scholarship at the Colorado
School of Mines from Alaska for
the school year of 1932-33.
Commissioner Keller addressed
his recommendation to Dr. M. F.
Coolbaugh, president of the Colo
rado institution.
An itemized statement of
Thomas’s high school work has
been forwarded from the Seward
school to Colorado.
The scholarship carries tuition
and fees for the entire course in
the Colorado School which is re
cognized as one of the leading in
stitutions in our country for this
type of training.
Thomas Neville, as the ranking
student in the Seward high school
class of ’32, has shown marked at
tributes of a student and scholar
throughout his high school car
eer and has shown especial apti
tude in mathematical studies, tak
ing all courses offered #in that de
partment with a special review
course carried this year.
Local school authorities were
pleased to recomend Th o mas to
this institution and to Juneau, not
only for his scholarship but for
his personal characteristics of a
general nature, which will contri
bute further to his success as a
professional man.
It is the ambition of the Seward
school to groom other candidates
for institutions of higher learning
and the established professions in
the years to come and to encour
age and stimulate their efforts in
that dirction not only in the high
school but in the elementary
school as well.
