SEND A GREETING
The words of the song which was
composed and sung by Sargearit
Thomas Galvin (Dooley) at the
Coliseum Monday night:
Now, friends, the war is over, if
we’s got the news alright.
And everybody in this house should
celebrate tonight;
And sing and •dance and give three
cheers and pray to God they’re free
And glad that they are living in
the land of liberty.
And our friends so far away should
hear from us today;
We should send a postal or a greet
ing right away.
And show that we are oraying forj
their safe return once more,
And waiting with our arms out-1
stretched outside our cabin door, j
Chorus
That’s how we should snow our
love for all our brothers.
That’s how we should show our love
for those across
The seas, in foreign lands, they’re
fighting with the others.
And being helped out by our sisters
of the good Red Cross.
It don’t cost much to drop a line to
friends you love so dearly.
It don’t take up much of your time
to wish your friends good cheer.
And when your greeting comes to
them it takes away that dreary
Feeling that you’re bound to have
Away from friends so dear.
|
So, friends, now don’t delay.
And send a card today;
And show your boys you're wishing
them God speed on their way.
And when they get your greeting
They will know they’re not alone,
And that their friends are waiting
for them in their home, sweet
home.—Srgt Thomas Galvin.

numbers in many parts of the terri

vocating a closed season for a year
or two until the birds become plenti

According to arrivals on the Polar
Bear, that vessel was unable tt>
reach Point Barrow on its recent
trip, owing to heavy ice encumber
ing the shores of that section. A
heavy westerly gale had forced the
ice in from the Arctic and made ^
navigation almost impossible.
