OUR'NEVJ NAME i
t
With this issue our weekly assumes its new name-"The Chil
kat Post”. The ingenious individual who submitted the title win
ner, and thus earned the six months free subscription is Pfq.Wal
ter Cantrell,of Headquarters Company* The new name was selected
by the Committee only after long deliberation,-for no less than
75 good titles were handed in for consideration* In the opinion
of the Committee the title is a most apt one* It is short ^easily
remembered,-th3 "Chilkat” part is descriptive of our immediate
Alaskan surroundings,(for who,having once served at Ft*Seward
will forget the Ghilkat?).-and the “Post” is a clever twist of
the common newspaper title:-e*g*the “New *ork Post'/♦•the
i.auis Post , «to “pose" in the arvn> sense, -meaning a ore or
military stationH.«.;The new name, the Committee believes, therefore
fulfills the three necessary conditions set forward at the begin
ning oi :’hfe title contest, -it is Alaskan,-it is military,-it is
distinctive.We take pleasure in congratulating Pfc*Cantrell on
his success*
