THE CHOSEN LAND
Gradual changes of climate over the world through long
periods of time are settled facts accepted by all astronomers,
climatologists and geologists. The climate is changing now.
—all the time.
So in view of this expert opinion, we take it all back.
Let the colonists come to Alaska. After reading about these
dust storms, scorched and famine-stricken lands of conti
nental United States, let 'em come, and we’ll fight it out al
together. We don’t blame any one for leaving places like
that.
In the days ot Russian cocupation. 150 years ago, the
Russian maps shwed Matanuska glacier 20 miles farther
down the Matanuska Valley than it is at present. They show
ed glaciers on the Kenai Peninsula where none exist today,
but the areas indicated by glaciers then are now covered
with grass and forests.
Of course 150 years isn’t much if one says it fast, but
nevertheless it is a period long enough to indicate a contin
uance of the profound change that melted the ice sheets from
the northern latitudes and sent them back from the latitude
of the Ohio River to the latitudes of Greenland and the
North Pole.
So let the colonists come: we’ll share our Northern
wealth and superb climate with them, and wish ’em luck!

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Success is often the difference between good roads and
the lack of them.
“Part time' roads don't do much for a community.
New industries seeking a location are always greatly
influenced by the evidences of support and encouragement
shown by good roads.
Most communities can be thankful for the character of
their business men.
They have men of the type that make a community
better; men of high ideals who are willing at all times to la
bor for the good of the entire community: men who believe
in a square deal for all. who believe in their community and
its future.
These men do all in their power to encourage and dev

clop all-year-round roads.
Communities that have good roads will get somewhere.
The big men are those who never give up. Anybody
can quit!
Another evidence of America’s decadence is seen in the
fact that a popular radio crooner makes $325,000 a year.
The man who seems destined to nose out ahead these
days is the one who, like the taciturn Scotchman when ask
ed his business by a bumptious individual, answered: “at
tendin’ to it.”
Common sense should point out to every citizen the im
portance and economy of buying at home.
