MOTHER ROSE
All the friends of the Eskimo Missions of Alaska will
be grieved to learn that Mother Rose, O.S.U., has been
called to the States, because of an arthritic condition which
has kept her laid up for the past five months, and inability
to use her lower limbs. According to Dr. Swartz of Nome,
who attended Mother Rose, she may not be able to walk
for another six months, and she is liable to further attacks
of the disease.
She was transferred from her beloved Mission at Pil
grim Springs a month or so ago to the Maynard-Columbus
Hospital in Nome, where she underwent numerous electric
treatments, and other applications, but with no favorable
results.
Hence after twelve years of devotion to her work and
service to her dear mission, in most trying physical condi
tions, it has become necessary for her to finally leave. She
stated in a letter to Bishop Crimont that she had hopes of
being placed near their good Father Ruppert and Sister
Irene when her time would come; but she concludes, "I am
not worthy of that honor, since this Cross has come to me.
Will you pray that I may walk again, if it be God’s Holy
will ?”
Mother Rose, God knows and we know that no honor
and consolation would be too great to recompense your
self sacrificing and successful labors for the Eskimo child
ren committed to your care at our Lady of Loudres Mission
at Pilgrim Springs. Our thanks, our good wishes, and our
prayers follow you.—Reprinted from The Alaska Catholic.
A GESTURE TO FINLAND.
Integrity among individuals is a sacred thing but in
recent years integrity among nations has appeared to be
something else. At any rate, following little Finlands pay
ment of its debt installment right on the dot. our own Unit
ed States Senate thought it was worthy of at least making
that country a courteous bow.
It came about when a bill calling for an appropriation
of $.'100,000 to erect new quarters for the American diplo
matic and consular services in Helsingfors, the Finnish cap
ital, was brought before the Senate. McKellar of Tennes
see sought an explanation and he received it from Vanden
berg of Michigan. Said the latter:
Frankly is it a gesture by way of friendly appreciation
for the fact that there is still some place on earth where
international credit still is honored.
McKellar quickly withdrew any objection and said he
felt it a privilege to be able to vote for the measure. Most
of us join in the sentiment. Perhaps it might be an idea
to go even further with the building program and erect a
sign outside of our consular quarters in other countries
reading “no money to loan.”
All manner of fun may be made of those products which
whiten teeth or reduce body odor or sweeten foul breath.
But their advertisements have impressed millions of per
sons with the importance of personal hygiene; they have
done more to overcome obnoxious habits of carelessness
than any one factor in the history of the whole world.

Over The Trail
By Cart Cheechac
w
co Stunt Valdez
Four cheechacos left Valdez re
cently, enroute to Fairbanks, 370
miles away, with a contrivance that
will either get them into a lot of
trouble or will save them money on
transportation, says the Valdez Min
er. They made a cart from an old
auto and put shafts to the vehicle,
then heavily loading it with their
equipment and supplies, they start
ed out for the interior.
It will be necessary for them to
cross two mountain ranges and it is
reported there is several feet of
snow in spots, and as footing is poor
and the way long, we look for much
physical anguish to be endured, by
the quartette. But they are young
and would not wait until the trail
opened up. as they wanted to get to
where they believed jobs awaited
them. They may prospect along
the way and if they find likely pla
cer, will stop and spend the sum
mer. Their outfit was a curiosity to
the sourdoughs.
