Modesty is such a rarity in this
day and age that it is refreshing
to stumble suddenly ueon it.
Until Madeleine de Feras, while
getting proper oarers for her mar
riage to Eugene Sedille , had to
answer certain questions about her
p. rents, no one here had the 3 east
suspicion that she enjoyed the dis
tinction of a French title.
There isa * t a question of doubt
but what our genial Ped Cross nurse
knew what she was doing by keeping
mum. The very dignity of ’Countess'
would have oreeluded the many close
friendships she has mad« here.
Now its. Eugene Sedille.

unselfish organization, The Reel
Gross, stands for.
TThy is it that so many losses
disregard the fairness of giving
a working man a civil answer to
an inte111gent questicnV
Is It that they have never
worked themselves? Do they think
that because a man is working with
his hands that he is some kind of
lower being , unworthy of anything
bettor? If so, some of the of
ficious ones on ■ this j~b are badly
mistaken.
There are men working here at
jobs which carry no premium on
brains ’In are graduates of some
of our best colleges outside; men
who on other construction jobs have
proven their ability to handle
others and to fet things nronerly
none v/xuiinub a v;asoe 01 money.
Why should such men. . .or why
should any man...he barked at in
sarcastic curtness by someone who
is recognizable as a boss only be
cause he gets more money?

Tack O’Connor, Game harden for
the Anchorage district, spent Wed
nesday and Thursday in the valley.
'The peoole here are going to
have to watch their stens or some
drastic rulings affecting, this im
mediate area will he made to in
sure oroteeticn for the game,"
said O’Connor.
Tom O’Dale, deouty warden, ac
oomoanied his chief and will re
main here to keen an eye on things.
The shooting, of ducks off the
nest last spring, the killing of
mo i m tain sheep ewe s with lamb s,
and the oe resist ant rumor of a cow
moose having been shot here this
fall have convinced O’Connor that
the valley hears close watching
