MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS TREE
Several Alaska towns are advocat
ing, the idea of having a municipal
Christmas tree, which reminds us that
in years gone by Cordova Aerie, Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, had a “fam
ily” tree for all the youngsters in
town, and after an interesting and
appropriate program gifts were dis
tributed to every child in town. Let’s
either revive this custom or have a
municipal tree.
The latter is an old English custom
that is being revived throughout the
States, and accomplishes the purpose
of promoting good will and fellowship
on the part of everyone, as well as
making every child happy, for Christ
mas is childhood's own happy time,
when its founder was a child Himself.
Old-time Christmas carols are sung
and the words are printed on slips and
handed out, so that no one can have
an excuse for not singing, and the Big
Brothers get busy, for this is the time,
maybe, “when a feller needs a friend,”
and all enter into the spirit of the
beautiful time and the glad story of
old is in our hearts and once more we
are children, back in the old home
around Mother’s knee, and the “Sweet
est Story Ever Told” rings adown the
ages to us.
We can not have the tree out of
doors in our weather, but Eagle hall
would be available, and we could all
get together and make this one of the
best Christmases ever.
“At Christmas play and make good
cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a
year.”
Let the children sing, the carols
ring, and let us pause erstwhile at
Bethlehem’s manger in humble adora
tion of the Royal Babe. Let\our hearts
echo the song of the angels:
“Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will to men.”
CITIZENS SHOULD AFFILIATE
The fact that there are United
States regular soldiers now stationed
in Anchorage does not in any measure
lessen the responsibility of the citi
zens in the action to curb the growing
evil of radicalism. In the past the
disturbing element has shown itself.
and with the country in the serious
condition of unrest, it is not unrea
sonable to suppose that we may again
have trouble prompted by the agita
tors known to be in Anchorage and
vicinity. An “American” organization
would do much to stay the hand of
the radicals, who would realize the
determination of Anchorage citizens
to crush the evil tendency of anar
chism in its infancy. Prompt and de
cisive action on the part of the local
Elks lodge is commendable, and every
American citizen should attend the
mass meeting and moreovSr take ac
tive part in the organization formed
to perpetuate American ideals. -An
chorage Times.
CUTTING THE CORNERS
New trade channels are illustrated
by some Chinese products. Before the
war peanuts went from China to Mar
seilles, which used to be the great
source of peanut oil for international
commerce; much oil now conies di
rectly to the United States. Castor
bean oil and walnut oil began to come
straight across the Pacific in 1917.
During the war the United States
became the leading importer of Chi
nese strawbraid, which it bleaches
and ships to South America. This
business has largely come to us from
England. Cowhides from Northern
China, that formerly reached us via
London, now take the shorter course,
1 and as for furs, it is common knowl
* edge that St. Louis has forged ahead
: among the world markets.
