5 SECOND POLAR YBlAR
PROGRAM
-x
; Delegate Wickersham has
I been informed that the House
' Joint Resolution providing for
> the appropriation of $30,000 ta
» defray the expenses of parti
« cipation by the Government in
the Second Polar Year Program,
August 1, 1932 td August 31, 1933,
is likely to pass the Senate and
thus become a law, as the Re
solution has already passed the
Vouse. Most of this money will
be used to erect and maintain a
station at Fairbanks. According
to the plan there are to be some
80 stations established through
out the world, supported by vari
ous governments of the world.
To certain governments are al
lotted certain stations, and to
other governments are allotted
certain other stations. Our gov
ernment is allotted a station at
or near Fairbanks Alaska. The
idea is that at an instantaneous
moment throughout the world
the whole 80 stations will take
observations, so that when all
the data is gathered together
the station in Alaska can say
what happened at that station
on that particular day at that
particular minute, and fhe other
stations of the world will be able
to say what happened at their
stations at that particular place
and at that particular moment.
It, could not be brought to such
accuracy 50 years ago when the
other polar year was held, but
by reason of the radio it can b^ j
brought to the very instant.
The consequence will be that
when the station in Alaska says
that the polar lights appear at
a certain time and certain
things happened, the stations
of the world can say what hap
pened by virtue of those polar
1'ghts at their particular station.

WHY DO WE CROW?
By James R. Little ' I
-x
Humanity as a whole is a lot
like an old red rooster of mine. |
When there is little or nothing
to crow about, he ahvays crows
the most. He molted very late in
the season last fall. He looked as
if the cook had dry picked him,
then tarred him, threw a hand
ful of feathers at him, and he
crowed and strutted and poked
s \n*\s*\*xs%**-**n^*****v*?i
j his bill into things more than
ever.
I often noticed that about
nine-tenths of the time, hu
' inanity has no more to crow
I about than that old rooster in
a snow storm with only about a
= third of his winter feathers on.
| May be I see things differently
jtnan the general run of man
j kind. I don’t know. But I never
yet saw where I had anything
to crow about. I often listen to
my Cheechako neighbors brag
and blow and crow. But, by gosh,
I can’t see where any of them
have any more to crow about
than I do, or than my old red
rooster has when he is in the
last stage of molting—with an
inch of ice on the pond near his
coop.
People brag about their good
health and their cleverness; they
jblow about their family con
in ections and crow about veery
t.hing, just as if the free gifts of
nature and the favors of provi
dence were their own inventions.
jWhat health, mental abilities,
i spiritual gifts, or temporal bless
ings does any man or woman
have that has not been the free
gifts of God? What do men and
women have to crow about at
birth? As an infant, he or she
is a greedy, selfish, helpless, an
noying little animal. No more,
no less. An infant will draw the
last drop of nourishment from
a dying mother. Then it will go
into tantrums of rage at its
mother when death has stopped
the flow of nourishment into its
greedy little stomach. Selfish
ness, greed, impatience, no re
gard for others—such is man’s
and woman’s standard equip
ment, at birth. -
But our all-wise Creator ha’
freely given man capacities
which other animals do not
possess: The human heart is
made with a space for kindness
sympathy, and love. The human
brain has a corner in it where a
knowledge of right and wrong
may take root and grow. And so.
from a weak little animal, man
and woman grows into a civiliz
ed, educated, church-going hu
man being. By the grace and
gifts of a kind providence, he
may have health and standing
in his community. He gets dig
nity, bowed-legs, horn-rimmed
spectacles, and a bald head, then

crows his head off about it, as
ii he had done it all himself.
One of the Cheechakos here
and I were discussing this sub
ject last week. He called me a
radical old “Sourdough,” because
I insist that no man has any
thing to crow about. If you strip
a poor tramp or hobo and a
congressman right down to the
few primitive emotions that
were their standard equipment
at birth, they will both be as
much alike as two peas in a pot,
or a pair of corn cob pipes in a
cigar store. Of course, when a
man makes his mark, like a
bootlegger or gangster, a baby
snatcher, “prohibition snooper.”
and a big “banketer,” he has a
light to be proud. A man may be
proud of making his mark in
the world or on a pay-check. I
! think v/e are all marks right
now, on “Hoover Prosperity!”
j But it is nothing to crow about.
Personal pride is a nail out of
another keg, as the Cheechako
said, when he drank some moon
shine the other day. Three ‘
drinks only and he hanged his
|coat up, and robbed himself. I’ve
got a big gob of personal pride
myself. I can crack my own'
chewing gum between my store j
teeth and I’m proud of it. The'
Cheechako tried it and broke
his upper plate into three pieces.
\\ hen I tell the Cheechakos
down here how, I lived on ice
worms and used candle fish for
candles in Alaska one winter,
they all believe me, and I’m
oroud of it. I guess if it were |
sifted right down, I’d turn out to
be the proudest “Sourdough” |
south of Mt. McKinley. But with
ail my personal pride, I still say
that “I ain’t got a durn thing to
■row about.” For if you take a-1
way all the favors and free gifts
nature has bestowed upon me,!
I’d have no more to crow about j
than a hungry old red rooster
with his bill fast in a steel traD
in a cribfull of corn. Some of the
girls down here are taking sec
ting up exercise now. They set
up every night with a new boy.'
Of course we have other girls,
here—just like peanut candy— j
sweet and nutty.
BILL NYE’S DEFINITION !
-X
What is a newspaper?
“Bill” Nye (Edgard Wilson)
American humorist and an hon
orary member of the Wiscinsin
Press association, in his address
before the assocition meeting in,
Whitewater, August, 1885, de- j
fined it as completely as anyone'
has ever done.
“The newspaper of today is a
library,” he said. “It is an ency-1
c'opedia, a poem, a biography,
a history, a prophecy, a direc
tory, a timetable, a romance, a
cookbook, a guide, a horoscope,
an art critic, a political resume,
a ground plan of the civilized
world, a low-priced multum in
parvo. It is a sermon, a song, a
circus, an obituary, a picnic, a
shipwreck, a symphony in solid
brevier, a medley of life and
death, a grand aggregation of
man’s glory and his shame. It is,
in short, a bird’s-eye view of all
the magnonimity and meanness,
the joys and griefs, the births
and deaths, the pride and po
verty of the world, and all for
two cents—sometimes. Among
ethers, it is a long-felt want, a
nine-column paper in a five
column town, a lying sheet, a
eeble effort, a financial problem,
i tottering wreck, a political tool
and a sheriff’s sale.”—Wiscon
in Press. - * / •

PRIMARY LAW A BIG ISSUE
Anyone thinking that the pri
mary law is not ail issue—a big
issue in Alaska, is mistaken. The
womenfolks are rising up in
arms against the effort to have
it repealed and they are going
down the line against those
pledged for its repeal.
Willardie B. Ketchum of Se
ward is sending out circulars in
which he stands four-square for
its retention and his appeal to
the voters in the Westward pre
cincts is being published in the
newsprints of those sections.
Looks like somebody’s funer
al! Anthony Dimond, Democra
tic candidate for delegate to
congress is outspoken for the
repeal of the law. Delegate
Wickersham, Republican nomi
nee and A. H. Ziegler, Demo
cratic candidate are both strong
ly in favor of retaining the law.
George B. Grigsby, another De
mocratic candidate for Delegate
to Congress also is positively on
I record as favoring retention ol
the law.
