SEWARD CHAPTER IS HONORED
It was recognition well merited by the Seward Chap
ter of the American Red Cross in being presented with
an honorary flag for attaining tne memuersnip goal in
1928, and every member of the Chapter deserve the thanks
of the community for their unremiting efforts in
reaching the goal. Their reward is the satisfaction reflect
ed in a task well done. !
For stealing a million dollars a man was sentenced
yesterday to serve from five to seven years in prison. Not
long ago a woman in the East was given a life sentence,
under a state law, for violating the liquor law. Sounds
nice, doesn’t it? Wonder what governs the scales of jus
tice.
ARE THEIR ANY SKUNKS IN ALASKA?
A government bulletin says that “a trapped skunk.
can be killed without disagreeable odorous consequences
if it is approached slowly and quietly and given a sharp
blow across the back—not his fanny—with a stick.” We |
are merely passing the information along to our Alaska i
trapper friends without assuming any responsibility in
the matter. In other words, let your conscience be your j
guide when you run across a four-legged skunk.
There appears to be one place in the United States
where one law is not observed very closely. Nome is the
place for they recently staged a fireworks display for the
children. Those were the great old days when fireworks
had its nloce in our lives. We would like to see this grand
old custom revived.

encouraging. This is the property
