Alaska Not ‘Seward’s lee Box of Past,
Sot American ‘Treasure Box’ of Future
Senator Frank Chureti (D-Ida
oo) declared in Anchorage Mon
day that “the admission of Alaska
into the Union means that Con
gress has at long last recognized
that Alaska is no ‘Seward’s Ice
Sox* of the past, bi|t an American
Treasure Box* of the future,”
“Now is a time of. decision for
the people of Alaska,” Church
said. ‘The decision is simply
whether the new State is to be
governed in Juneau by a Demo
cratic or Republican regime, and
whether it is to be represented in
Washington by a Democratic or
Itpnblican team. A dividd delega
tion in the U. S. Senate can only
cancel out the two precious votes
that Alaska has waited for nearly
a century to obtain.”
The Idaho senator, who was one
of the leading exponents of Alas
kan statehood, said he hoped the
people of Alaska -would vote “the
straight Democratic ticket, from
top to bottom."
Stating the Democratic Party
has been responsible for what
ever real progress has been jpade .
in Alaska, Church credited Wood
row Wilson as having built the
Alaska Railroad; Franklin Roose
velt who originated the idea of
putting into effect the Matanuska
Colony; raising the price of gold
from $20.67 to $35 an ounce. It
was under the Democrats that the
Rural Electrification Administra
tion was established in 1936, and
through it eight electric co-oper
atives are now operating in Alaska,
ka.
Church had words of praise for
Bob Bartlett, Democratic candi
date for one of the two Senate
seats, and described him as a
“proven and effective legislator.”
He commended William. J^gan and
Ralph J. Rivers, but it was Emest
est Gruening who drew the Idaho
senator’s most extensive- tribute.
Church reviewed Gruetting’s rec
ord as Territorial Governor, citing

Said to be “extremely interest

titled “Fish On” and “Prairie
Wings” were shown at the meet
ing Tuesday of the Kodiak Out
doorsmen. A good attendance was
on hand.
“Fish On” showed bait hook-ups
for various game fish of Alaska
and the methods of fishing them.
“Prairie Wings” depicted the ha
bits, migrations and hunting meth
ods of the various species of wild
ducks, from the lower Mississippi
to Canada and Alaska. The picture
was shown in slow motion to show
how their wings, tails and legs
are used in rising, landing and in
flight.
