INTERESTING ITEMS REPORTED
BY YOUNG COUPLE FROM
UNALASKA
The fox catch out Westward is
poor this year, states Rudolph Hec
tor,young business of Unalaska
who arrived in Seward last week
with Mrs. Hector, enroute to the
States with San Francisco as their
destination. Mr. Hector has pur
chased all of O. K. Queen's inter
ests in that area comprising the
mercantile establishment and fox
enterprises Mr <«*ucc» >tepar>,ui
for the south, direct from Una
laska, on January 7 aboard the
American Mail Line vessel Mon
tauk.
Mr. Hector has been appointed
Alaska representative of the Amer
can Salmon Company, of which
C. Hale is the head, and which
concern has large cannery interests
in Westward areas. The present
trip to San Francisco is in connec
tion with the company which
maintains its headquarters in the
-Golden Gate city.
PRAISE THE ATTU
A very interesting batch of news
was related by Mr. and Mrs. Hec
tor who both were loud in voicing
their approval of Capt. Peter Wold
and his wonderful crew. Captain
Wold, Hector said, evidently smells
the land as he plows along for not
once did he see the Captain refer
to a chart yet he, and the crew,
appeared to be perfectly at ii ie
in those Westward waters which
they apparantly must know like a
book. The arrival of night meant
nothing to the schooner Attu which
steadily purred along in perfect
precision at all times. The crew
keep every piece of gear in perfect
shape and the engine is kept glis
tening by continuous polishing and
care. Mr. Hector said that never
during his 12 years of experience
in traveling to and from the West
ward, had seen such attention
paid to a vessel. So it was with
utter confidence the Hectors slept
at night regardless of the feat
friends advised them to wiit, and
take passage on a larger boat.
Mrs. Hector sa.H she never h^d
a more wonderful voyage than
this one and appreciated the un
failing courtesy of the members
of the crew and the skipper to
both her and Mr. Hector.

MEL A. HORNER
me a Lucky-Ip
up the sweets”
JL " */ - Johnny Farrell,'
,—National Open Golf
Champion, 1928
WHEN fattening sweets tempt and you
dread extra weight, light a Lucky in*
stead. No discomfort, no trouble—just a
common sense method of retaining a slen*
der figure.
The finest tobaccos are skilfully blended to
make Lucky Strike. Then, "It’s Toasted.”
This secret process brings out every essence
in the tobaccos and produces a flavor which
makes Lucky Strike a delightful alternative
when you crave fattening sweets—there
is no interference with a natural appetite
for healthful foods. That’s why folks say:
"It’s good to smoke Luckies.”
At the same time toasting removes impurl*
ties. That’s why 20,679 physicians are on
record that Lucky Strike is less irritating
than other cigarettes. That’s why prominent
athletes have testified that Luckies steady
their nerves and do not impair their physi
cal condition. No wonder that this was dis
covered long ago by many men, who pride
themselves on keeping trim and fit, who love
the "pep” that comes with health and vigor.
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, but the authorities are
overwhelming that too many fattening
6weets are harmful and that too many such
are eaten by the American people. So, for
moderation’s sake we say:—
