X 0?E ISSb’ES SORROWFUL
CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
VATICAN CITY, bP) — Pope
Pius XII—drawing a sorrowful
-cl-tice for 1043—declared Satur
day that once again the world is
menaced by war.
The Pontiff said in a Christmas
message to the world that the past
year, which at first had appeared
to be the start of a surge toward
true peace, today “seems instead
opening upon the edge of a pre
cipice.”
The forces of the world, he said,
are moving toward two opposed
poles, both desiring peace but
“both placing it in danger.” The
Pope did not mention communism
by name, nor allude directly to
east-west differences.
It was the 10th time the present
Pontiff has given a Christmas
message to the world.
mas may know that no matter
how small or how large their con
tribution, a small portion of this
helped to make the erection of this
statue possible.
Alonzo Victor Lewis’s son Max
is to have charge of designing the
base and his daughter Charmain
Gross is to have the honor of un
veiling the “Alaska Prospector."
Mr. Lewis’s fame as an artist
rests on such works as his thirteen
ton World War Memorial on the
Capital grounds in Olympi.a Six
years of effort and 18 tons of clay
went into its creation. It is the
largest similar group in the world
and is acclaimed a sa masterpiece
of scultpral art. His celebrated
“Doughboy" statue stands in front
of the civic auditorium in Seattle.
His Lincoln statues in Tacoma
and Spokane. The Soldiers’ Me
morial in Centralia. His Ezra
Meeker Pioneer monument at
Puyallup, and others too numer
ous to mention. A lew years ago
he was named sculptor laureate
for the State of Washintgon by
the State Legislature.
His one wish that he live long
enough to see the “Alaska Pros
pector” unveiled was not fulfilled.
He passed away November, 1946.
Now, however, his memory will
live forever along with his perm
anent symbol of the Pioneer who
made Alaska the great country
that it is today. The unveiling of
this tribute to the Alaska Sour
dough can well be looked forward
to as a signal achievement and a
gala day in the history of Alaska*
