BABY SITTER BREAKS ARM
Gary Rogers, local school boy,
whose home made advertisements
as a baby sitter are well known
about town, fell from the diving
board at Little Bear Lake August
15, when the board broke and he
broke his right arm.
By way of sympathy it was re
marked that with school just about
to open, a broken right arm is not
so bad after all. "Naw!" said Gary's
buddy, “It won't do him any good.
He's left handed.”

Did you ever look up the word
“gossip” in the dictionary? It is
a most ambiguous word. Accord
ing to Webster:
1. A relation of sponsor in bap
tism; a godparent.
2. A friend or comrade; a com
panion.
3. An idle tattler; groundless
rumor; idle talk about the af
fairs of others.
Idle: Futile, groundless.
The first two meanings have
been lost in antiquity and only
the destructive force of idle tale
bearing remains with fls, and does
more damage than all the liquor,
all the firearms, all the thievery
and murderers in the country.
These are punishable by law, but
there is no protection against gos
sip, which once started can never
be stopped.
! Gossip is a pastime of which
we are all guilty. Not one of us
refrains from the pleasure of tell
ing our best friend a “good” story
about a friend or acquaintance.
Often with no intention of causing
any harm, but by the time that
story reaches the ears of the ori
ginal (and it always does), it is
so changed that any amount of
denial on your part, or trying to
straighten out the tangle, is use
less. Many friendships are de
stroyed and reputations damaged
beyond repair.
Among many others, I drove out
^o see the remains of the Green
Lantern fire last night and I was
struck with the thought that a
building can be replaced, even
after such complete destruction,
but the good name of a person
when once touched by gossip is
always tainted.
It makes no difference where
you live, large cities, or small
towns, it is always the same.
Everybody gossips to some extent,
it will never cease, but we can and
should accept every story with the
proverbial grain of salt. No one
can live, not even a hermit, in
such a way that there will not be
at some time some story circulated
about him. So salt it down. Salt it
down, folks, then forget it.
1 R. O. Suddath, formerly of
Seneca, South Carolina, who now
has his home on Nash Road, has
! started his veterinarian practice
here. Suddath practiced for many
years before coming to Alaska
with Mrs. Suddath. His son, Ben
Suddath, has increased his land
holdings to over 200 acres at the
head of Resurrection Bay.
