FROM JAPAN IN DECEMBER
Harry Kavvabe, well known,
and long time resident of Sew
ard, head of H. S. Kawabe Com
pany, Inc., of Seattle, has been
in Tokyo for the past several
months, but expects to be back
in Seattle early in December, he
writes.
He has been investigating op
portunities for an interchange of
trade between Japan and Alaska
for the products that can be
produced in the Territory and
are badly needed for the recon
struction of Japan.
He feels that Japan’s need of
j lumber, coal, minerals and other
raw materials could be shipped
from Alaska. He also suggests
that homesteaders should experi
ment in the growing of soy
beans, which is a staple food in
Japan. Rice grows wild in some
parts of the Territory, and ex
perimentation might increase the
supply of that grain.
Wild rice brings an amazingly
high price in American markets
j also, and if it proves possible to
: harvest it in any quantities, of
; fers a money crop for Kenai
! farmers.

It used to be the custom to
count one’s blessings at Thanks
giving time. To enumerate the
things one has to be thankful for.
Then came Pollyanna.
Now it is considered puerile
to consciously balance the bad
with good. One just doesn’t
count his blessings these days,*
but there’s little difficulty in re
counting what is wrong!
Following that reasoning, I
have been compiling a list of
things that 1 do not have, have
never had.
For instance: I do not apply to
a board for permission to travel
! to Anchorage or Timbuctoo. I
I do not study a ration book try
ing to eke out enough points for(
a dinner to share with friends.
I do not comb the beach and
i railroad tracks for enough fuel
j to keep me warm. I dq not walk
the streets in search of an hour’s
work. I do not wear rags for
lack of clothing. I do not stay
home from the movies because
I dare not spend a penny on rec
reation. I do not slink down the
i alley in fear of meeting my cred
itors. And lastly, I do not live in
fear of speaking my opinion be
cause my friends and neighbors
may be spies who will report me
to a tyrannical government.
I am not sorry that I live in
Alaska and that Alaska is truly
American.
, This negative approach to the
subject of giving thanks for the
things I do not have, has proved
just as satisfying as the other
way. You might try it sometime.

abundant and happy Thanks
giving.
