DAN McGREW — 1952 ?
WILLIAM R. ELLIS
(Dedicated to Clyde Hovik, Cape Romanzoff)
You’ve heard of the men who mucked for gold,
On the Yukon years ago?
You think that those days are gone for good?
Well, they’re not, I ought to know.
I work with a breed of hardy men,
Who are sturdy men and true,
And ther’s not a problem that’s too hard
Nor a knot they can’t undo.
No, they’re not out digging the gold,
As the boys did in the past,
For these men are building up the land
To a future that shall last.
Now this is a place of great estate,
It is a wild country it is true,
The work is hard, but the stakes are high,
And the future’s up to you.
So square your shoulders like a man,
Leave the cities far behind,
And help us build up this frontier,
, That is if you’re so inclined.
For we need a race of Pioneers,
Like the ones who built the West.
Yes, our need is men who are brave and strong
And can stand the rugged test.
Of ice and snow and winter gale,
And the dismal solitude,
Where the sky and land and the sea are as one,
In this Arctic latitude.
Do* you think that those men who mucked for gold,
On the Yukon years ago,
Are better men than we grow now?
Well they’re not, I ought to know.
Casualties In Hotel
Fire Scaled Down
1 Dead, 5 Missing
FAIRBANKS, (/PI—The feared
casualty toll in the fire that de
stroyed the old Pioneer Hotel
early Monday was scaled down
sharply overnight as a rollcall of
survivors continued. A police
check of the situation early Tues
day showed one known dead, five
listed as missing and eight in hos
pitals.
Through the night, however,
only 180 of the 250 occupants of
the hotel had reported to police
headquarters, as requested.
A major disaster had been
feared Monday. Both police chief
Floyd Clower and hotel night
clerk David Littlefield said, how
ever, they were convinced a
major disaster had been averted.
Bill Vanderpool, an employe of
the Alaska Fregiht Lines, died
at a hospital of his burns.
Five listed as missing were Mrs.

versity of New Mexico' in June
and is now in the U.S. Air Force.
Edna Richardson, Caroline Kim
bell, Barney Illertson, Florence
Gibson and Margaret Gordon.
The police chief said many of
of the more than 50 guests unac
counted for may have left the
city. This would increase the dif
ficulty of any positive check on
casualties.

A gizi picnic is lively and

adds so much to any occasion.
