LET’S GO!
The hoar for new resolutions has arrived.
Each man, consciously or unconsciously, finds him
self inwardly vowing that he will drop some little vice;
that he will job ids waning energies and set his face to
some given task which will cause him to forge ahead
with even greater strides than during the 12 months
just past.
It is well that these things are. It’s like setting the
toe on the scratch for a big race.
But it should not be confined solely to the individual.
It should be collective, when every man, in addition to his
personal resolves, is ready to step into line for a general
program having for its goal the accomplishment of
greater things for his home town and environs.
It is not difficult to set aside the actual world and
create an imaginary one filled with the great things of
life; to set back of us the irritants, disappointments and
uncertainties to take a plunge into the new scheme of
things armed with renewed energy and perspective.
To do this let’s resolve that we have just stepped
ashore from a great ship. We have never seen the land
before. It is up to us to develope in and make it fruitful
search out its treasures and give momentum to forces
which will make them yield individually and collectively.
^ Of our golden treasures we will hold them up so that
ihe world may see and come seeking to share in their
lichness. We will not be niggered in encouragement to
the man who is trying, and wall lend a hand to help him
pull his load, to the top of the hill.
One man tugging at a rope is futile; manv hands
move large bodies.
Our chief resolve should be to launch upon a gener
al forward movement in which every man can partici
pate according to his talents and opportunities.
When you snake a fruit tree all the fruit does not
fall in one spot, rho one man may do the shaking.
December 13th the 450 foot Brit
ish steamer Ousebridge, Captain
Kirkwood in command, arrived at
Unalaska to coal and remedy
minor engine trouble. Two months
ago she left her home port, Liver
pool, with a full cargo of general
supplies which she unloaded at
Poughkeepsie, New York and from
there steamed to Vancouver, pick
ing up at that nort the cargo she
now has cn board, consisting of
4,500.000 feet of lumber.
Being a tramp steamer her cap
tain and officers have miny in
teresting incidents to relate of
their experiences, especially in
Russia where, judging from their
personal accounts, life does not
run so smoothly for the average
laboring class worker and that
country is no nice place in which
to dwell. Good, old America, which
includes God’s Country here, of
course, may have its depressions;
its labor troubles; its bootleggers
and its gangsters, but it has not
come to the point yet where long
shoremen are shot down en masse
for refusing to continue loading a
vessel!
The Ousebridge will leave in a
couple of days for her next port of
call Shanghai, China, where she
will deliver her present cargo and
again reload with a full cargo of
various oils destined for Great
Britain.
* * * *
All Unalaska trappers are now
on their various islands, the last
to leave being John Yachmeneff
and John Gordieff on the Kanaga
Native, for the Baby Islands
* * * *
It is encouraging to note that
the number of red fox being
caught is larger up to the present
time, compared with last year for
the same period.
* * * •
One of the outstanding social
events for the month was the
bridge party given by Mr. and Mrs.
H. L. Price, of Dutch Harbor Ra
dio Station, on their first anni
versary. Their guests were; Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Martin, Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Willis, Mr. and Mrs.
Trimmer, Mr. and Mrs. Ackleson,
and Mr. and Mrs. Banes, making
three tables. .
During the evening refresh
I
! ments were served and enjoyed
immensely. We 'won’t embarrass
| the losers by mentioning who won
i the prizes, but all went home at
i the conclusion of a very enjoyable
1 evening voting Mrs. Price a de
li ghfui hostess and lots of regrets
that the young couple could not
celebrate their anniversary at
much closer intervals.
We are sorry this has to go t-o
press before we can tell about our
Christmas program to be given
by our Unalaska school children
December 23. Also the Unalaska
Mission program a day or two
later. But our children always res
pond to their teachers and un
doubtedly will be at their best.
Our faithful mailboat “Starr” brot
us the usual quota of Christmas
trees to gladden the hearts of us
all—what is greatei fun than
trimming the Christmas tree?
Watching the children do it, of
course!
