THE TOURISTS’ FRIEND
What is more appreciated by a traveler than a
friendly greeting when he arrives at a dock or depot in
a distant land as he walks around among strangers
wondering what hotel he should go to find where would
he a good place for some ham and eggs, when suddenly
there emerges from the throng a portly individual with
genial countenance and kindly voice who inquires if
there is anything he can do, and then asks where he is
from. Mention of the home city or state of the visitor
recalls to the f^endly greeter, we have in mind, another
tourist from that town.
The man who fits this description is none . other
than F. J. Hayes of Cordova, now becoming nationally
known as "Babe” Hayes, Alaska’s Good-Will Ambass
ador, who makes and retains the friendship of visitors
to Cordova, extends every courtesy that would contrib
ute To their comfort or enjoyment while in the city, and
even keeps in touch with them after their return home
by sending newspapers containing articles they aie in
terested in and pictures taken during their Cordova
stay and finished after their departure.
1 Not everyone is gifted with the happy faculty of
greeting and pleasing strangers, but “Babe” radiates
geniality and good-will, and his motto seems to be
“Every day teach me to pray that I may think not of
myself but others.”
“Babe’s” services are too valuable to be confined
to one place, and we believe and recommend that he
should be drafted into service and work for which he
has special ability and inclination, should be directed
to boosting the interests of all Alaska.
