This is the time of the year when a
boy or girl is, Oh, so very very good
ilVl as you or I were aeons and ages
ago. After being ornery for months up
on end, do you remember how we
would carry in the water and wood
and even allow our ears to be washed
without kicking someone’s shins? Oh
boy! can you remember when Santa
gave us that pair of copper toed red
topped boots and how we lorded it
over the boys who didn’t get any? Them
was the days.
So if every kid you see on the street
seems unusually saintly, remoer,There’s
a Reason.
The fight for who’s Alaska is on ind
quarts, yea even gallons of black print
ers ink has been spread On reams of
paper.
A southeasten Alaska paper wants
the name Alaska retained by that por
tion of the territory on the grpunds
that the first settlement of whites was
at Sitka. The Gateway then enters the
field by stating the first settlement was
to the westward. A casual glance thru
our history desn’t enlighten us very
much so we can’t join in the tempest
in a tea-pot.
In any event, the argument is like
selling moose on the hoof: as far as we
know, there is only one territory, so
there is nothing to argue about.
