BENNETT THANKS GEORGE
Do you, Mr. and Mrs. Kodiak, appreciate the conscien
tious efforts of the local Chief of the Volunteer Fire De
partment who is now serving you so efficiently?
Innumerable citizens should aopreciate his alertness and
effort, and clasp his hand in a more than friendly handshake
for the devoted manner in which he is serving and insuring
the city’s safety against devastating fire hazards. Regardless
of the hour of night, if an exceptionally strong wind is howl
ing, Chief Magnusen is patroling the streets constantly on the
alert for .fire. Twas during one of th »se nightly vigils, with
the wind blowing around a fifty mile an hour gale, that the
recent fire in the City Market was discovered by him. In spite
of the terrific wind and the extreme proximity of the build
ings involved, the fire was brought under control, saving
thousands of dollars worth of property and maybe a life or
two. Well done George,! Please accept my most heart-felt
thanks.
When we own a painting, we always put it in the best
possible light. Why not do as much for our friends?
James G. Bennett

JUNEAU IN SPOTLIGHT
The members of the Territorial House and Senate will be
under the public microscope for the next few weeks. Those
Senators and Representatives from the Third Division will
come in for a careful scrutiny from voters of the division.
Reportedly, the property tax will be repealed yet the
average voter and taxpayer will continue to pay taxes on their
property if they live within the corporate limit of a city.
Just what do the voters want their elected representa
tives to do during the next several years?
Locally, considerable lip service has been paid to the
Alaska Development Board yet how many persons do not
know for what purpose it was created? The newly created All
Alaska Chamber of Commerce is supposed to be the successor
to the ADB.
It will be the vote of our representatives that decide
these and other more important issues.
Do you want some changes made? Write now to your
Representatives and Senators.

The Quihing Party
i '
'i> ' i. i
The serious work of providing warm
bed covering for cold weather nights
required long hours of careful work
for our ancestors. The neighborhood
women grouped themselves around a
large table and painstakingly fastened
the covering of the quilt to the lining
and its soft layer of cotton padding.
It is characteristic of Americans that they do
things of their own free will because they can see
the personal value of their work. At the quilting
party, each lady increased her skill with each blan
ket. Each financial transaction increases our fund
of experience and knowledge. We are thus able to
give sound help and counsel that is of great practi
cal value in solving other financial problems.
