“Chasing Rainbows”
Great east and great picture with many scenes in tech
nicolor, song hits, dancing, thrills, with Bessie Love and
Charles King, the starring team of ‘‘Broadway Melody” in
this big talking-dancing sensation. Supported by a wonder
ful cast including Polly Moran, Marie Dressier, Gwen Lee,
George K. Arthur, Jack Benny, and Eddie Phillips. It ranks
right up with “Broadway Melody” as a great picture.
Tuesday
Indian Costume Dance
The Native people of Petersburg will give an interpreta
tion of the oki tribal dances and customs of a past age. Cos
tumes, some of them hundreds of years old, and dances
whose origin is lost in the mists surrounding the dawn of
man. This is a worth-while entertain performance. You
should see it. The proceeds of this entertainment will be
used in the construction of a new hall for the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood.

A MODERN THANKSGIVING DAT
3
l
I
Well, is everyone ready? then hurry, get in
Say kids, quit your fussin’, what a terrible din!
I’ve been waitin’, an’ waitin’ fer you’r ma most an hour;
By gum! my good temper is ’most turning sour!
It’s Thanksgiving Day an’ we shouldn’t be late
One day in the year, h-e-y! hurry up Kate!
For Mother’ll be wonderin’ jes’ why we’re not there,
.She might think we’ve been ditched ’long the highway somewhere.
Here, you kids get packed in, and KEEP YOUR FEET DOWN!
An’ don’t try to be smart when we’re goin’ thru town.
Get in the back seat Lou, ma’ll : it here by me
.Toe, your hair isn’t con bed, it’s as rough as can be.
LOOK OUT! there now Nellie q.lit kickin’ that jar!
iHey! you’ll get yourself d rty b; be, you can't crank the car!
Now look at your clothe s, Bess, take him in to his ma.
If you kids aint the limit! worst ever I saw.
An’ if I was you Norman I’d tuck in my shirt
An’ stay ’way from that engine or YOU’LL be gittin’ all dirt!
Mary Jane your stockings is twisted, looks awful like that,
See here, nothin’ doin’ you can’t take the cat!
This is Thanksgivin’ Day and grandma will be
Jus’ busier’n any thing ever you see.
Eh? what is Thanksgivin’ Day for? gosh! let me see,
Why, it’s, it’s, oh how do I know! sit still bumblebee!
Oh Kate, when you come bring my sweater and pipe,
Will you kids stop your racket? Roy! you mean little snipe!
I’ll,- Now here comes your mother, we’re ready at last,
When we get out of tov/n we got to go pretty fast.
All set? all right then away we will go over the ice and over
the snow.
That's what the old poem said don’t you know
Whoa! hold’er this thing gets my goat!
We’ve got a flat tire! it sure is some boat!
Well, get out all you kids till I get the old jack.
This thing must be fixed ’fore we make arry a track.
By George, you’re a peach Kate to held me this way,
Say kids stop your foolishness, hear what I say?
Watch out! there’s a car, an’ she’s goin' some too,
Now if good luck is with us we’ll soon be all thru
Ah, once more we are ready, say, Katy old dear
Jus’ wipe off your hands on this rag over here.
Ah, this is the life, o’re a fine well paved road.
With the wife and the kids an’ it sure is some load.
To a Thanksgivin’ dinner we’re goin’ today,
Not over the snow or in a big sleigh,
An’ not twenty miles either with a galloping team,
But ninety miles rolling o’er pavements that gleam.
An’ thru scenes that beat that old poem a mile
With all of us hearty, it sure makes me smile.
There’s the mountains, the streams, and the summer-like day.
Even a flat tire don’t ruflle us much, what you say?
“What is Thanksgivin’ Day for?” why look, don’t you see?
There’s fruit and there’s vegetables fine as can be.
An’ the hills, and the dales-oh gosh! I can’t tell
But it fills me right up ’till I most want to yell.
Yes,-the scenery is fine, Kate, but with the kiddies and you
A big heap o’ Thanksgivin’ is mine the year thru.
By Rae Gilbert,—Poet of the Cascades.
THERE ARE DOCTORS—
AND DOCTORS
-x—
Recently Dr. Don S. Numbers
of Boise, Ida., fought his way
thru an Idaho blizzard to per
form an emergency operation,
and battled for his patient’s life
in a snowbound cabin near the
remote village of Burgdorf. He
trekked 30 miles through the
blizzard to carry out his duties
and was snowed in with his pa
rient.
Which reminds us of another
doctor who refused to walk the
length of the Citizen’s Wharf to
give first aid to a young man
who had been shot by a rifle
bullet; of another time when he
refused to look at a troller stric
ken by paralysis because he
Thought he would not get his
money from the patient.
Yes, there are doctors—and
doctors.

“BLACK MATT” IS DEAD
-x
“Tragedy stalks the boards.
“Black Matt” is dead, of his own
hand. Phil Dohm is dead, by the
hand of another. The eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead
act live. “Oh death, where is
thy sting?” So said St. Paul.” Is
the opening paragraphs of Ed
ward Morrissey’s editorial epi
tome on the death of “Black
Matt’ Berkovich, the late reput
ed boot-leg king of Ketchikan.
“The accursed eighteenth a
mendment and its half-sister,
the Volstead act inanimate
things, stand before the Giver of
life more responsible than do
either of the unfortunate indivi
duals of the recent tragedy.”
We cannot see how or why any
encomium should be wasted on
“Black Matt.” Perhaps it is be
cause he did not furnish this
office with any “fine Canadian
stuff” which was delivered at
various times to the cellar of a
certain judge in one of our First
Division cities. Therefore we
cannot bemoan the death of our
pet bootlegger.
We do admitt that under our
present system of liquor control
many evils have arisen wherein
officers have been known to
double cross their own employers
and also where they were known
to double cross the “gang” with
which they were splitting the
swag. We do know of attorneys
who have been In the bootleg
liquor business who have held
responsible official office and
queer stories have been told of
their sending “fall guys” to the
pen when the swag did not come
foith as expected; and w’e do
know that many a homicide is
caused directly by conspiracy to
violate the prohibttion laws of
the land. All of which is not to be
denied. But all of which does not
mean that we must flaunt those
laws and give greater editorial
space to such violators than
’hey are entitled to. Certainly
“Black Matt” was not worth a
whole column of praise even by
Eddie Morrissey in his Chronicle.

THE PEACEFUL TOWN
IS A DEAD TOWN
-x
Down in Nevada are cities
that are peaceful—not. a soul
stirring save an occassional be
whiskered prospector and his
jackasses. No activity of any
kind, no warm criticisms, no bic
kering, slapping each other on
the back in sanctimonious praise
—the prospectors and residents,
not the jackasses. Those com
munities are dead or dying.
When men in cities fight and
quarrel over “the game”—that is
different. History shows that
quarrels in religious circles has
brought on the greatest develop
ment in the churches. The nar
row intolerant bigotry has been
surplanted by broader view
points and greater has been the
growth of those churches.
When citizens of a town fight
and quarrel over “the game;”
when they kick because the
other fellow is laying down on
the job or dropped the ball; or
raise hell with the citizen who
did not buck the line hard
enough; when they get sore and
cuss out the opposition; when
they create argument over poli
cies and systems or plans; when
they raise question impersonally
over the advisability or worth of
certain plans, they are creating
an interest that bodes of devel
opment. If that is the kind of a
town of which you are a mem
ber, be glad that you are a citi
,zen of that town. It is a town
.that is going ahead and it is a
town that will go ahead.
If the citizenry of a town
makes a personal battle of every
principal and of matters that
have no part in a town; if men
I become personal rivals through
only hate ahd scorn of each
other; if they lie and gossip and j
try to kill each other to elimin- j
ate fair competition then it is ;!
time for the citizenry to look in
to their affairs and take mea- j
sure of what they are doing. ;*
Such conduct will not tend to 5
develop any town.
After all there is only one j
rule of conduct for any city and >'
any business—“Whatsoever ye X,
would that men should do to X
you, do ye even so to them.” $
