Nothing makes an Alaskan any
more angry than to be accused of be
ing out of touch with the world.
Yet this is the general opinion of the
average citizen in the states.
The same people who hold this
opinion of us read the daily paper and
perhaps a couple of columns of an
extra, take in a movie and consider
themselves in a position to pass opin
ions about Alaskans. We, in this coun
try, receive all of our our news in the
papers and then get every magazine
we can lay our hands on, that we may
understand all the ramifications of dif
ferent events. We then fall in with a
fellow from the outside and are told all
about how it happened. Mr. Alaskan,
so it seems to us, is about as badly in
formed on current events as is a chem
istry professor of the effects of Nit
ric Acid.
If the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce wants to do some colonizing why
doesn't it get a few people from the
large cities? These people would be an j
asset, no interperter would be needed.
Anyway, charity begins at home.
One senator says Europe is about to
get what is coming to her. She already
has what’s coming to us.
