MORE ON STEAM BATH
followed and plans were laid.
The building will be a
structure 20 X 38 feet and
will include the bath itself
and a room with massage
tables and vibrating equip
ment. Qualified persone!
will offer the latest in tech
nique and customers may
make reservations for just
the steam bath if they choose,
or for massage or for the en
tire treatment.
The principle of a rock
steam bath is quite simple.
Rocks of uniform size are
placed on a hearth-like bed
and heated to a high tem
perature. Water is then
sprayed in small quantities
over the heated rocks and
the resultant steam is con
sidered to be exceedingly
healthful in opening pores
and cleansing the body.
Steam baths of this type
are found throughout the
Scandanavian countries and
many of the Indian tribes
used them in the American
Southwest.
Ladies will lie able to use
the bath in the late afternoon
and earl>' evening and men
during the evening hours.

Rev. Murlin Day
“King of Kings”
Cecil B. DeMille, in his
epochal film, “The King of
Kings,” took poetic license,
as it were ,in arranging the
chronology of events in the
life of Jesus Christ. And yet,
he wonderfully captured the
spirit and nature of our Lord
as he made Him serene in
otherwise tempestous scenes.
However, Christ was not
portrayed as a weakling, un
able to speak His mind, or
content with expediency.
But, it is His God-given
compassion for the poor and
helpless; His concern with
the problems that are always
with the multitudes of folk in
our tragic world, that make
Him the Lord of Life.
Were we to write the story
creatively, making Him what
we think God should be, I
wonder if flier is a person
anywhere capable of improv
ing on this Christ?
As He had lived—so He
died—cairn in the know
ledge that He had done His
best to do the will of God,
His Father. And, in the movie
Pontius Pilate is made to see
Him as He was goodness
personified; loving and mer
ciful vet he, a ruler in the
Roman Empire, is portrayed
as the one who is weak!
Though it were traitorous for
Pilate to think so, lie knew
this MAX was a KING!
And the others in those
horrible scenes of hatred and
malice appeared even worse
than they were, if that is
possible, because of the aw
ful contrast between them
and Christ.
But, avarice won the bat
tle of the day, and, the King
died like anyone else. And,
He was buried, arid, curelty
and greed had triumphed as
always, or so it seemed.
And then, EASTER! And,
Blister always calls for a new
evaluation of life. Such an ev
aluation makes the preceding
paragraph of defeat look
silly. For it is love and good
ness that have triumphed.
The Cross was endured by
the KING for all men, the
KING died that we might
all have life forever.
Ed note: The Church direc
tory will appear next week.
Watch for Radio Logs next
week.
Hangar Gets New' Coat
A noticeable improvement
at Mt. Edgecumbe is the new
coat, of paint on the shop
hangar. Last vestiges of the
brown & green camouflage
used during the war are be
ing covered by a coat of sil
very aluminum paint to
match the neighboring han
gar.
The painting of the shop
hangar came along with the
beginning of spring, and is
one of the improvements to
be seen at Mt. Edgecumbe.

In the attempt of this
bureau to find a story for
this first issue, we ran into
“Brad” Bradshaw last week
end, who, as anyone in the
area can attest, is good copy
seven days a keek. The writ
er didn’t get a story but came
away gratified to find that
Brad and this corner agree on
many things — mostly pol
itical Which explains why
Brad’s name is mentioned
here in the first place.
For thoes not in the know,
Brad is one of Sitka’s most
popular citizens and is
known as the “Voice” of
Sitka Bradshaw is Sitka’s
play-byplay basketball an
nouncer, and one of the best,
and gained raving notices
from such far and out of the
way places as Juneau, of all
places.
Bradshaw operates acloth
ing establishment in the
downtown area but we won’t
mention the name of his fran
chise since it would not be
fair to Cecil Me Clain who
conducts a similar business.
Besides, the writer is hoping
that “Mac will use his in
fluence to help foster a City
Baseball League this sum
mer. The writer distributes
his trade and business equal
ly between the two men.
This fair city was once
known as the sporting cen
ter of Alaska. We unfortu
natly, are no longer that. The
old City Basketball League
was junked several seasons
ago. An attempt was made to
rectify that situation the past
season and the results were
encouraging - thanks to the
Administration of S. J. J. C.
which graciously donated the
use of their gym. We are
hoping that an attempt will
be in the offing this summer
for a similiar venture to re
vive the City Baseball
League.
There are enough diamond
stars in this berg to give any
team in the territory a run
for its money. Herb Didrick
son, the flashy Elks short
stop, is still on hand. So is
Roger Lang, the old Elks
left-fielder, who was once
billed as the Ted Williams
of Sitka. There are enough
Sitka diamond stars still
around to form the nucleus
of a great team. Still parked
in Sitka is Wally ‘Casey’ Mc
Donald, the greatest of all
local baseball managers. We
trust that Wally w ould rather
manage a baseball team than
any thing else.
Having parked in Sitka for
the first time in several years,
we came up with the follow
ing results relative to the
local scent' . The Sitka
ANB basketball team isn’t
exactly the awesome club it
was five or six seasons back
when the Herb Didrickson,
Mo Johnson and Chuck Did
rickson contingent ball-hawk
ed and terrorized all foes
with relative ease. Despite
its complete collapse and de
teriation in the recent Gold
Medal Tournament those is
the know claim that the ANR
club will field a stronger
club next season than the one
that finished a poor fourth in
the 1958 Juneau tournament.
Best basketball game of
the season .... the Sitka ANBs
come-from-behind victory
over the Ketchikan Rockets,
74-70. Down by 60-40 at the
beginning of the fourth
period, the Tribe put on a
tremendous rally to win the
game in the most exciting
game of the year. It was the
only time1 this year that the
A\B club looked like the
team of old . Coolest
under fire John Bor*
bridge, basketball coach of
SJS. During a game, when
Borbridge slowly uncrosses
his long legs, an action
which may consume as much
as 10 seconds, or casually
reaches an arm around his
head to scratch one of his
ears, the SJ bench is in a
state of high excitement.
Biggest surprise of the South
eastern High School Basket
ball Tournament Haines.
Lightly regarded, the Haines
quint first gave the highly
touted Juneau Crimson Bears
a battle and then upset the
erratic Edgecumbe Braves
before stumbling against the
Sitka Wolves in a real donny
brook. Those is the know
loudly claim that the Haines
club will bear watching dur
ing the next two seasons ....
Finest gentlemen and a cred
it to their profession: Basket
ball coaches Bill Ordway of
Juneau; Bill Nehr of Peters
burg and Steve Laposki of
Wrangell Experiencing
a sad basketball season on
every scene, local fans jump
ed aboard the Seattle Univer
sity Chieftan bandwagon.
Many in this village thrilled
to the success of the hot
Chief tans as the impact of
Elgin Baylor was felt in this
the hottest of basketball hot
beds The word is out that
the track team to watch in
the Southeastern High track
meet is Edgecumbe, which
isn’t surprising. The Edge
cumbe Braves have copped
the Southeastern meet the
past two years and retains
most of their lettermen from
last season’s squad. The
Southeastern meet takes
place, with Edgecumbe pre
forming host duties, on May
- the Tri-School meet
between Edgecumbe, SJS
and Sitka takes place on the
25th of this month . One
of the bad features of the
five-day week is that the Sun
day drivers are also out on
Saturday.

What's Your Definition of Going Steady'?
A Florida teenager recently ex
plained. or rather defined, going
steady as understood by high
school students in that great state.
The young lady said: “II you go
steady, you’re with your boy
friend all the *ime. He picks you
up in the morn: g and you stay
together all day
She explained that a boy going
steady does not go out with other
boys. “A steady just doesn’t do
that.”
If this is a general rule through
out the country, then I can’t be
lieve there Is much going steady.
It would mean the boys would
have to renounce the thought of
ever dancing with more than one
girl at a party, or speaking to an
other girl m class, or going to a
movie or drinking a coke with a
bunch of boys.
That’s asking almost the impos
sible to be with one girl all day
long.
As an observer it seems to me
teenager would soon become bored
with such restricted company
So, young man, if you though,
you were going steady you may
have been wrong all the time, if
all you are doing is seeing your
cutie every night, making dates
with no other female, and letting
her wear your ring or pin as a
token of your constant affection.
It would be interesting to know
the definition of going steady in
other sections of the country, as
compared with our Florida lass.
