Dr. Maresh Sends
Christmas Letter
Dr. Frank Maresh, former
resident physician of Seward
Sanatorium, and well known to
Sewardites, writes in his annual
Christmas letter to his friends
which goes to all parts of the
world:
"Undoubtedly Alaskan humor
is buoyant enough to carry the
inhabitants through any major
calamity because they are con
cerned about the coming of win
ter, they are not worrying about
a war coming to Alaska. It is a
matter of when ‘The Iceman
Cometh’ and not when the
Russians take over. If the Good
Soldier Schweik appeared with
a contingent of muddy infantry
men we might feel the gloomy
menace of war, but the glitter of
Army Brass and Navy Braid in
the hotels inspires the song ‘Lay
That Pistol Down, Sasha’. Bronz

years. Such circumstances do not
lead to any foolish hysteria.
“Many of the letters coming to
me during the year seem to im
ply that only graduates from a
Neuropsychiatric Institute are
qualified to come to Alaska. Of
! course, a generation of individ
uals accustomed to having hu
man activity explaned by means
of ingenious Freudian myths
ascribes our presence to such
arbitrary hypotheses as escap
ism, misfits, anti social behavior,
inability to face realities, Alas
kans do not consider their posi
tion unusual and at gatherings
entertain each other with the
fantastic Freudian jargon of in
fantile sexuality, platitvdinous
fiats, and lugubrious motiva
tions."
