I am on one of my infrequent
rampages. I'm mad, so mad 1
could spit, to use an inelegant
phrase. When will the people
in the States come to acknow
ledge that we are very much
a part of the U. S.? Don't they
know that it would take a sci
entific expedition to find an
igloo, or do they fancy that we
all live in ice houses? Has any
one told our Stateside busi
ness friends that we cook on
electric ranges and sleep under
electric blankets? That we con
sume more whiskey, drink more
coffee, eat more meat, and buy
more books and magazines per
capita than any. other popu
lation?
What brought on this tirade
sounds like sour grapes, but it
is not. I've been listening to
give-away radio programs, and
reading advertisements of con
tests in the magazines, and

are specincauy ior "continen
tal U. S. only.” Several months
ago I joined another book club,
and sometime later received
papers announcing a contest,
inclosing entry forms, etc. There
was a modest prize offered and
an intriguing puzzle. For the
fun of it and for the first time
in my life, I entered the con
test, submitting my answers all
according to Hoyle. Last night,
word came that the Book Club
was ‘‘so sorry”, but being out
side the continental U. S., I
was not eligible. Of'course they
accepted my money, send me
two books a month, took the
trouble to send contest papers,
then discovered tiiat Alaska is
not a part of the U. S. I know
several other people who belong
to the same book club, and who
entered that contest. They may
not feel the same about it, but
1 was so angry at the slight
that this morning’s mail has my
membership cancellation.
West Coast business is mak
ing a big play for Alaskan
trade, liow long will it be be
fore the East will wake up to
the fact that we are within less
than 15 hours travel time of
New York City? Being an East
erner, I am particularly peeved
over their disinterest. Many'
Alaskans are beginning to feel
that maybe we don’t belong to
the rest of the country, that
they don’t want to be bothered, |
and don’t care what happens
up here. Yes, Congress and Busi
ness will throw us a bone, like
a begger on the doorstep, but
when we ask to come in, the
reply is a swift kick for our
impudence. I am very angry,
are you?
