AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
“TTADE AT HOME”
Newspapers are the best ad
vertisement a town has in the
outside world. Other towns:
and cities judge a town by the
kind of a newspaper it has. It
i. is wunsupported, given the
news and advertising patron
age it ought to have it thrives
and : able to present an ap
j. .- nance of prosperity to the
outride world. If it does not
thrive, outsiders are inclined
to look on the town as unde
sirable to live in, and so movo
on to other towns. The mer
chant who sends outside for
h'.s printing and advertising is
of no more benefit to a town
than the consumer who secures
his needs from the mail order
houses.
“Trade at Home” applies to
the business man as well as
the general public—Valdez
Miner.
-o
The editorial from’ the Val
dez Miner printed above poss
esses a decided local applica
tion, especially that portion
relative to the merchant who
sends outside for his printing J
instead of patronizing tne
printing department of the lo
cal paper.
Local merchants are foreve*
inveighing against people
sending outside for their sup
plies, yet when it comes to
printing they proceed to do ex
actly the same thing them-!
selves, knowing there is a!
print shop right here in town.!
In such few cases, as where the
local shop is not equipped to!
do the class of work desired, |
or is not in a position to handle 1
large quantity jobs at prices
comparable with those of the :
outside, we do not blame them
for sending out for their print
ing supplies, -but when the
work can be done locally and
at reasonable prices, it is om>
fait* to give the local print
chop ft chance. It is fully as
much entitled to receive the
support of the merchants who ,
need printing as the merchants
are entitled to the support of *
the public who need their
wares.
As the Miner very justly re
marks “ ‘Trade at Home’ ap- :
plies to the business man as j
well as the general public.’ ,

HEALTH BOARD NEEDED
In view of the wide preva
lence of certain types of high
ly dangerous epidemic dis
eases in the outside world it
is desirable if not imperative
ly necessary that steps should
be taken by the constituted
authorities to prevent as far
as possible a local invasion 01
oome dread malady which
might be kept away by a little
precaution.
In accordance with this
view, the attention of the
present and incoming school
board is respectfully called to
the provisions of Section 5, i
Chapter 25 of the Ses
ion Laws of Alaska, 1919, j
/hich provides for the ap '
pointment by the School Board
m all school districts outside
of incorporated towns ot a
board of health, to be selected
| by the School Board,, and to
! be composed of the president
of the board and two citizens
of the district, one of which
shall, wherever practicable, be
a licensed physician. Undei
the law in question the health
board so created is endowed
with full power to make and
! enforce local quarantine regu
! lations, to provide for sanita
j ion, and take other necessary
measures looking to the preo
; ervation of the public health.
■ Although the fact has appar
ently been overlooked by prt
1 ceding school boards, the cre
1 ation of a local board oi
health is made practically
mandatory, the law stating ex
plicitly that “there shall be a
board of health.” This is not to
be taken as an implied criti
cism of present or past school
boards, all of which have
been composed of capable, con
| rxientious citizens who per
1 formed their duties in full con- ]
formity to their knowledge or
understanding of the laws.
Now, however, in the face of a
situation such as exists at preo !
ent, where there is seriout,!
danger that the community |
may be invaded by an epi- ;
demic disease, and where
quarantine and other prevent
ive measures are being taken
by other Alaska towns to
safeguard themselves fron, !
attack it appears decidedly j
necessary that a local healtn
board be called into being
without undue delay so that it
may be ready to not only pro
vide measures for preventing
the entry of disease but also
be in a position to cope effect
ively with any situation threat
ening the public health in the
future.
There is no present reason
for undue alarm over the situ
ation but at the same time it j
is not only an obligation of
law but also the part of wis
dom that the School Board
help as far as possible to re
move such danger as may exist
by making the necessary ap
pointments.
Furthermore, if we interpret
the law correctly, the creation
of a health board should be
one of the first official duties
of incoming school boards, m
any event such action would
indicate possession of a proper
regard for the communal wel
fare, whether enjoined by law
or not.

BANKS DEPENDABLE
Money in the old sock or un
der the rag carpet is one of
the most useless things in the
world. Such money does not
even furnish any real protect
ion to the person who has hid
den it, for it is so likely to be
lost or stolen or burned up.
People usually store money In
this way because they do not
trust the banks and other fi
nancial institutions which
handle the funds of their de
positors. • Even under a totai
lack of guarantee laws the
bank is ordinarily a safer de
pository for money than is the
old sock. ’
America needs to get n*
money out of the teapot anu
the oven and put it in the
banks and the business of the
land. If people will not trust
| the banks, let them loan their
I money to Uncle Sam. Probabi>
he will not go bankrupt; and if
he does, the money will be of
no use anyhow. Put your moi.
ey at work, somewhere ana
somehow, and then go to work
yourself in the cheerful confi
dence that most of your fei
lowmen are honest and will
! not injure your interests.

BEATS NEW ENGLAND
“Had the Pilgrim fathers set
tled at Sitka, Alaska, instead
of at Plymouth, they would
have found milder -climate,
better soil and timber, and
more game, furs and fish. In
deed, pioneer life in Southeast
ern Alaska was so much easier
than on the New England
coast, the question might be
seriously raised whether the
hardy enterprise of puritan
stock might have been devel
oped under these more favor
able conditions. —Alfred H.
Brooks.
