TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT!
I
I
Tonight is the night the Seward Volunteer Fire De-j
partment puts on its annual big show, the New Year’s
Mask Ball, and as usual, it can be safely forecast, it be j
one grand and glorious success. These lads carry out their
activities in a large way and one is always assured of a
good time. If one doesn’t enjoy themselves they have no
one to blame but themselves.
It is a fiting way to greet the arrival of the New
Year, 1929, and a good time to pay respects to one another.
No battery of mighty guns will usher in the Infant but,
nevertheless, salvos of noise-making devices will be on
hand, lusty voices and music, to welcome the entry of 1929.
For the hall of fame we nominate Annie Yulwak,
the 22-year-old Eskimo girl of the Dillingham orphan
age, who died that others might live.
NO CRITCISM, JUST APPLAUSE
“Tales From the Hills,” the mining article now run
ning in the Gateway, written by the Mines Staff of the
Alaska College, should be read, not only by every person
interested in mining, but by everyone for it contains con
siderable food for thought in relation to the potential
mineral resources of Alaska.
Dean Ernest Patty of the College and head of the
School of Mines, says the articles are framed for the pros
pectors; he appreciates the attempt t oclothe the bones
of science with attractive garments, is open to criticism
but that “we will gladly accept the criticisms if some one
of the articles strikes fire in the mind of one prospector
and illuminates some problem which is now baffling him.”
Alaska is fortunate its College staff is comprised of
men who are not afraid of criticism and are ready to
stand by their “guns” in an effort to carry their message
to Garcia” for the common good of all—fearing not
to experiment along new and untrodden paths of educa
tion.
There can be no criticism, only applause from the
citizens of Alaska.
Father Time to Miss 1929: “Happy Nude Year!”
WELCOME TO SEWARD, COLLEGE
It is Seward’s honor to again be hosts to the basket
ball team and representatives from the Alaska Agricul
tural College and School of Mines, the Territory ’s high
est school of learning, on their third annual visit
Alaska is proud of this school, of the basketball teams
it produces, and the fine men that compose these teams.
iWe are glad of the opportunity to again bid you wel
come and sincerely hope your stay will be most pleasant.
One advantage in wearing a derby in Alaska is no
body wants to steal it. Especially, a brown derby.
A London doctor declared that loss of memory is
more prevalent than formerly. Have they had an oil
sckndal over there, too?
What Alaska needs is heavy underwear that will
not itch.
Happy New Year, everybody and may all your
troubles be little ones!
