WE BELIEVE IN MR DIMOND
The Alaska Weekly takes issue with Del. Dimond on the
abolition of fish traps, and virtually accuses Mr. Dimond
of approaching the subject from the viewpoint of a politi
cian. Those of us who have been citizens of Valdez, with
Tilr. Dimond, for many years, know that this is not tiue.
There is no man with the interests of Alaska more at hcai t
and no man has put in more time interviewing the people
on the subject. We might well accuse the Alaska Weekly
of being suborned by the fish traps as to accuse Mr. Dimond
of demagogry in a subject in which he has put so much time.
It is a matter of opinion. The owners of the Weekly live in
Seattle, where they are far away from the ills arising from
the traps; Mr. Dimond lives here, where he sees the effects
of alien ownership and the resident fishermen starv ed out
by the traps. The traps certainly catch more fish than a
fisherman or a number of fishermen, but wherev ei they ha\ e
been abolished towns have sprung up and the iishei men be
come residents of the locality in which they get theii li\ ing.
Alaskans are with Mr Dimond to a man. He has shown he
has our interests at heart.—Valdez Miner
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
“A great many merchants in the small towns still think
that advertising is advertising. A generation ago the small
country weekly was given advertising at a very low rate per
inch, not because the merchant thought it would really do
him any good but on the theory that he should support the
Icoal newspaper. The newspapers themselves have aban
doned this idea and were the first to suggest that they did
not want advertising on that basis.
“It works out this way: The advertiser who has the
complex that an inch or a ‘page of space is an inch or page
and may be so measured in cost, is yet to be found in some
sections. As a matter of fact, a page sold in a local commun
ity for fifty dollars is always much cheaper than the page
of the same size sold in the same community for twenty-five
dollars. The merchant who buys a page because of the cheap
price usually is throwing his money away. The value of a
page of advertising in a local paper is exactly measured by
the number of subscribers to which that paper goes, multi
plied by the standing and character in the community of the
newspaper itself.

on porches where it has not been invited, bought by the
merchants at twenty-five cents an inch, is a great deal more
expensive than a page at fifty cents an inch in the local pap
er which goes only into the homes where it has been invit
ed and where the recipient pays a subscription price.
"The merchant who pays fifty cents an inch for a known
value in a responsible paper which has a legitimate sub
scrpition list and which has a standing in the community
and which is one of the solid enterprises always working
for the best interests of the community, is getting real value
for his money. His advertisement presented in such a pap
er is read with confidence and the statements made in that
advertisement are taken at their full face value. Cheap ad
vertising is always the most expensive”.
U. S. Factors To
Figure In Trip
Of Normandie
Many American Made Appliances
Used on New Liner Sailing
June 3 For U. S.
ST NAZAIRE, France, Mar. —
When the giant liner Normandie,
first salutes Bartholdi’s Statue of
Liberty on her maiden voyage in
June, a grand nephew of the monu
ment's sculpture will be in com
mand.
Rene Pugnet boxer, painter, musi
cian inventor and ranking com
mander of the French Line’s fleet,
will be in charge of the 79,000-ton
vessel, whose building here he has
supervised almost from the mom
ent she first began to take shape.
American Fittings Chosen
American materials play a big
part in the big liner’s equipment.
Motors manufactured by an Ameri
can company are being placed thru
out her enormous bulk. The search
lights are American-made. Air-con
ditioning apparatus and electric re
frigerators from the United States
have been purchased.
Details of the liner's construction
are being carefully guarded. Ex
cept for a few figures, given in an
effort to prove the Normandie is big
ger than her British rival. Queen:
Mary, data on her construction is
being withheld. Only a few weeks
before she pushes her 79,000 tons
out into the sea for the maiden (
voyage to New York, now planned
for June 3, will views of her inter
ior be available.
The length of the ship says the
French Line is 1,030 feet—12 feet
longer than the Queen Mary. She!
will carry more than 3,000 passen
gers and a crew of 2,000. Her 160
000 horsepower is counted on to
drive her through the waves at 30
knots, expected to send her from
Le Havre to New York in four days
flat or less.
Butchers, Beauticians in Crew
Her crew will include such wide
ly diversified members as three doc
tors, nine butchers and 20 bellboys.
There will be nine hairdressers sev
en printers 16 musicians and 187
cooks..
Literally enough food, liner and
other supplies will be carried for an
army. Each of the 3,000 passengers
for example will have the exclusive
right to 43 napkins, two chickens,
ten pounds of ice, a-carafe and four
knives, as well as similar quantities
of other necessities.
Although he has been at sea sin
ce early youth Captain Pugnet has
found time to accomplish as much as
three or four men ordinarily do in
a life-time. The violin he plays
was fashioned by his hands. So
was the piano, from the pedals to
the ivory keys.
He’s Artistic Sea Dog
It was while he was master of the
liner Paris that his talents as a por
trait painter first became known, for
his passengers often sat for him Ilis
experiments in color photography
have taken prizes in Paris salons,
and he also has been successful in
sculpturing a talent he says he in
herited from his great uncle>
Between inventing "Pugnet holes”
which allow fire hoses to be play in
any cabin without damaging the cab
in structure and deciding where to
place the ship’s equipment and per
sonell, from 20,000 bottles of beer
to 31 messenger boys, Captain Pug
net has found time to keep up his
boxing.
At 53 he continues also to fence,
and shoot. On occasion he even pil
ots an airplane for in the world war
he commanded the French naval av
iation base in Corsica and disting
uished himself at the defense of Cor
fu.
