MAJOR ALASKAN
VOLCANO ERUPTION
PREDICTED
The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard,
famed for his exploration and
geological researches in Alaska,
announced last week from his
home at the University of Santa
Clara that there will be a major
volcanic eruption in the Terri
tory in the near future.
He said that all signs point to a
big eruption next summer in the
upper part of the Alaska Penin
sula - a sparsely populated re
gion where the danger to life will
be small.
Father Hubbard plans to come
to Alaska in late May or early

• Certainly, there will be some
who will not make it. but as for
you and I. we want the best
dairy farm in the best dairying
community in the world.
Vou know the trouble with i
lot of us today, we are just plain
lazy. We hollar about this and we
gripe about that. If we would re

ves and make a one-man crusade
for good, working at what we are
best adapted for with all our ef
fort. and then a little more, we
would experience that glow of
triumph that comes only to those
completing a job well done.
We can't let our neighbor do it
or our benevolent governmenh
the latter, after all are our ser
