HAVE A HEART
With its mechanical de
partment in the hospital,
and no linotype operators
available to keep the machin
ery moving at normal speed,
The News finds it impossible
to appear with oldtime regu
larity. The editor finds, to
his surprise, that running a
linotype is a more serious
task than pounding a type
writer, and the wonder is
that The News is not out of
business altogether, for the
time being.
Under the circumstances,
it is up to readers and adver
tisers to make allowances
until such time as the paper
can get back on the old
schedule. In the meantime,
those of us who are left
will do the best we can and
as often as we can—pro-,
viding the trusty old linotype|
continues to serve us faith
fully, in inexperienced hands
Friends of The News can
help in the emergency by I
phoning in the news—we
can’t possibly spare the
time to go out for it.
The News will make its
next appearance probably on
Thursday.
TALK ALASKA
The advice of Stephen S.
Wise to Alaskans is to talk
Alaska.
In other words, he says,
if you know Alaska, its pos
sibilities, its potential
sources for greatness, in
scenery, fishing, timber, -min
ing, farming or any other in
dustry, don’t keep your
knowledge bottled up. Give
it freedom. Turn it loose so
that it can communicate it
self to others who lack it.
Be a booster for your own
country. And it is not a dif
ficult task for one knowing
this great Northland to say
a good word for it.. Turn to
almost any section of Alaska
and there will be found op
portunities which are de
serving of special mention.
Alaskans, points out the ed
itor of the Alaska (Juneau)
Daily Empire, have become
so familiar with the possibil
ities that many of them are
taking it for granted that
they are a matter of common
knowledge. Many fail to
realize that what to them is
an old story, to others is an
unwritten book.
Alaska has had a lot of
publicity and most of it has
been of the wrong kind. It
has been pictured as a land
of eternal cold by fictionists
who used icicles for pens,
and with telling effect. This
impression has been made
deeper by a few would-be
heroes who have written the
folks back home about the
terrible hardships they have
undergone mushing across
the frozen, snow-drifted
Isteppes and ice-filled streams
jin the middle of July, or
! whatever summer month it j
! happened to be. Then the j
j conservationists got in a
'deadly blow with their sand
ibags, and the resources the
(writers of letters and fiction i
did not freeze, the latter ele- i
ment locked up so tightly it i
has taken two decades to un
lock and the process has .
just begun. J
Now that the unlocking <
seems in a fair way to begin ]
it is also propitious to start [
a real campaign about the .
Northland. And Mr. Wise
points out the way. Think
and talk Alaska. There is no 1
closed season for that kind <
of game and only those who (
know Alaska can really talk j
about and for the territory. 1
Others have done it with 5
disastrous results which can t
only be counteracted by the >
real facts. Alaskans have the <
facts and are in a position to 1
use them if they will. j
