PERSHING PAYS
TRIBUTE TO Y.
r
k
PARIS, June 12 (by mail).—The
army has been unreasonable at times
in its expectations from the Young
Men’s Christian Association, because
the “Y” spirit of willingness made the
doughboy take for granted the asso
ciation’s ability to accomplish results,
declares General Pershing in a letter
of commendation to E. C. Carter, chief
Y. M. C. A. secretary with the Ameri
can expeditionary force.
“On behalf of the A. E. F., I desire
to express to you and to your fellow
workers my appreciation and thanks
for the splendid services which the
Y. M. C. A. has performed for the
American army in Europe,” General
Pershing’s letter reads.
“When the first contingents began
arriving the Y. M. C. A. began that
work for the American soldiers which
has ever kept pace with the growth
of the American expeditionary force.
All the divisions and most of the
smaller organizations have enjoyed
its benefits and services. Besides
maintaining the usual recreation hut?
it has conducted canteens where the
men could purchase small supplies,
and> in addition, the Y. M. C. A. has
constantly distributed, without charge,
tobacco, hot drinks and the like at the
front.
“Another service of great value has
been the creation of and the work in
leave areas, where the problem of giv
ing the men occasional respites from
the routine of army life has been
solved. The facts which made this
possible have been the recreational
facilities in the leave areas, and espe
cially the presence and splendid as
sistance of the American women with
the Y. M. C. A.
(Jther branches oi your endeavor
deserving of special mention are those
connected with education, entertain
ment and athletics. In each of these
departments the Y. M. C. A. has done
excellent work, but the features which
I have mentioned do not begin to
cover the activities of the association,
which has at all times shown itself
eager to undertake any extension of
its work to meet the wishes of the
military authorities. This spirit of
willingness has resulted in the army’s
taking for granted much of your so
ciety’s ability to accomplish results,
and sometimes expecting more than
was reasonably allowable under the
circumstances. In fact yours has been
the same spirit which has animated
the American army and made possible
its contribution to the successful con
clusion of the war.
“As I can not address all of your
workers personally, I hope that you
and they will accept this letter as an
expression of my appreciation of the
splendid work that you have done in
France.”

ALASKA STORY TO BE
TRANSLATED FOR USE
OF BLIND READERS
Robert Joseph Diven, who is known
in Nenana as minister of the gospel,
good citizen and popular sourdough
Alaskan, is known also to a very wide
circle of readers as a writer of inter
esting stories, many of them Alaskan
tales written since the doctor’s arrival
in the Northland.
This circle of readers, heretofore
confined to those who can see, prom
ises soon to include also the blind, and
it is possible that one of Dr. Divens’
Alaskan tales already has been tran
scribed into New York Point, the type
read by the blind. The Presbyterian
board of publication and Sabbath
school work, publishers of Forward,
a weekly illustrated paper for young
people, in which Dr. Diven’s “Skiing
for Life” appeared early this year,
recently advised Dr. Diven of the re
ceipt of a request from Clovernook
Home for the Blind, Mount Healthy,
Ohio, for the privilege of transcribing
the story into New York Point.
“We have written them,” the letter
informed Dr. Diven, “that we are glad
to grant this permission, and that we
are sure you also will be pleased to
know that such use is being made of
veur story.”
upon receipt of the letter Dr. Diven
assured the publishers that he was
pleased to know that his story had
been made use of in such a manner
and instructed them to grant free use
of any or ail stories to which he still
retains all rights, excepting serial
rights, to the blind institutions for pub
lication as indicated in their request.
Among the stories which may be
used in this manner are: “Oregon
Trails,” “Ghosts that Bite,” “Peace
Trail,” an Alaska story; “The Terror
of the Valley,” an Oregon story; “An
Old Bear’s Wrath,” An Alaska tale;
“A Daughter of the Hills,” in eight
chapters, a tale of the Alleghenies;
“Skiing for Life,” an Alaska tale;
“Miss Jack Frost and Her Dog,” an
Alaska tale; “Drifting Down the Yu
kon,” an Alaska tale.
The story, “Skiing for Life,” is an
Alaska tale founded on facts, and was
suggested by the experience of two
Norwegians as related to Dr. Diven
several years ago. The story al
peared in the issue of Forward of
February 16, this year.

“And my
GOODRICH Shoes
outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
years—and just back in the States. He
was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our 1
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes 1
> while he was up there, and he said— *
“Say, those are some shoes you people make.
Why, I remember one time when my part- 1
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a I
pair of your Goodrich' White Pacs. He (|
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
