GRAND BILL
TO OPEN THE
LABOR TEMPLE
The people of Anchorage are only
sorry that they cannot celebrate the
opening of a new hall once a month.
They have arrived at this conclusion
only after hearing of the gala week
that is ahead of them. Commencing
tomorrow night with the opening ball
at the Alaska Labor Union hall the
week will be filled with one grand,
glorious, gob of festivities. Each day
will be marked by some special event;
each event will be interesting and en
tertaining. “There's a reason” said
grape nuts and postum echoed—
“There’s a reason.”
There will be something doing in
the new Labor Temple every day,
dating from tomorrow, until the New
Years festivities are over. Realizing
the different tastes of different people
and nationalities the committees in
charge have arranged the program
accordingly. The arrangements
have been made in such an attractive
manner that all people from every
country will be forced to attend each
event and not from the standpoint
of curiosity, but because they realize
they will be entertained.
With all due respect to other Alas
ka towns it is a well known fact that
this momentous occasion could only
happen in Anchorage. Anchorage
does things because the class of peo
ple with initiative aggressiveness and
courage of their convictions make up
the population. The old’ motto of
“in union there is strength.” This is
not applicable alone to the organiza
tion of laborers and artisans; the en
tire citizenship of Anchorage has
helped in the furfillment of a move
ment that has made the local order
of the Alaska Labor Union famous.
It is right that the completion of the
new hall should receive recognition
in the proper manner.
One entire week of joy and pleas
ure is not too much time to devote to
the occasion, especially when the
week’s schedule of entertainment
calls for so many variations.
Starting with the opening dance to
morrow night the afterhoon of the
following day (Sunday) Will be de
voted to the Elks’ Christmas tree.
An effort will be made to entertain ev
ery child in town on this occasion and
a live committee has charge of all
arrangements. Leave it to the Elks
to take care of the children. Dr. J.
L. McBride will conduct Christmas
services Sunday night, commencing
at 8 o’clock. There will be an excel
lent musical program In connection
with the service.
The open smoker on Christmas day
starts at 1:30 o’clock in the after
noon and will be as swell an affair
as the boys can arrange. Remember
this event will be an open house af
fair to which the whole population of
Anchorage is invited.
A card party has been arranged for
and other social affairs such as barn
dances and old-time dances will help
make the week’s program a pleasure.
Nor has the athletic feature been neg
lected and Friday night is down for
the big open event that takes in all
kinds of athletic stunts and exhibi
tions of prowess.
The grand masquerade carnival is
booked for Saturday night (Decem
ber 30th) and will fittingly end the
old year and at the same time wel
come the year 1917. This will be
some carnival and Fifth avenue will
have to look to its laurels.
The basketball teams representing
the City and Commission will meet
New Year’s day afternoon in the first
basketball game of Anchorage’s his
tory and promises to be a hotly con
tested match.
There is no occasion for any one to
pine for other lands or other cities,
for Anchorage’s engagement book
for the coming week is well filled, as
the following program will verify.
