- THAT VfSIT
We resident? in the upper end of
Copper Uiver Valley have been made
just a bitenvious of our down river neigh
hors, by reading all about how the
town should be cleaned up so the Pres
ident wouldn’t be shocked & so forth
and so we kinda cleaned up our little
suburb by-the-glacier and layed back
and read all about how maybe the
President wouldn’t ccirr. Well sice
the President decided to come up the
coast, all the papers printed the pos>
sidle itinerary,so we see a faint possibil
ity of Harding’s passing through this
town.
Now if the distinguished visitor does
pass through this town we should make
arrangements to give him an ovation
’hat he will remember.
Throughout hi? en'drj tvtr the chief
executive will be feted and honored in
every city and hamlet through which he
passes, until by the time he reaches
here he will be sick of bjnn[uets. their
attendent ceromony, and the everpres
ent leading citizen. We all naturally
want the President to remember ’’that
town by the glaceir”, so it behoves us
ro cut out the brass band, (as we have
none anyway), and arrange something

out of the ordinary.
Harding has the reputation of being
a pretty good sportsman when he is
on vacation, but we have not noticed
any town making arrangements to let
him get out of doors in tne greatest out
door country in the world. They ar
range for banquets where the food is
probably inferior to that served at the
President's home table, and then al
low him a short ride in a car, probably
inferior to his personal motor, and then
expect him to get a kick out of, 'That
Visit to Alaska”.
Now if he were to come here,
What would WE do?
We have reached the season where
if the worm does turn it meets either
a chicken ora fisherman.

From the Boston Transcript comes
this headline: "Woman fined for keep
ing still.” Not long ago we noticed this
one this one in the Spokesman Keview
"Talked too much; arrested.’, So there
you are. It seems the ladies are in a
pickle, as it were, since they get jugged
if they talk and jugged if they keep still
We can’t get along with ’em or without
’em.
