The annual problem of a place lor the childei _
the city to romp in during the winter, is before us again.
Heretofore the local gymnasium has been maintain
ed through memberships and a monthly contribution
from the city. It is hoped the gymnasium will be similai
ly supported this year; it undoubtedly will..
However, in order to begin activities immediately
and continue on to spring, a public meeting has been ar
ranged for tomorrow night (Saturday) for the express
purpose of obtaining all suggestions possible and to or
ganize. One plan already put forward and which in oui
humble opinion is an excellent one, is that the women
and men he members of one organization contraiy to
plans carried forward in previous years; that of two
separate organizations. Cooperatively, much can he ac
complished, but individually—two distinct bodies—the
svstem has never worked out satisfactorily owing to
the membership being divided.
The idea of backing up a community gymnasium
is laudable and the temporary committee which is en
deavoring to stimulate public interest and support, is
to be commended.
Everyone is extended an invitation. to attend the
meeting in Dreamland Hall tomorrow, night cone ening
at 7 o‘clock so that inter-exchange of ideas may he ex
pressed, a plan evolved and the gymnasium reopened.
In New York Mr. Stillman is the target for the
tabloid scandal mongers and the hare for a pack of
financial hounds. In Alaska they name a lake after him
slap him on the back- and call him “Jim” and teach him
to cook his own sourdough slapjacks.
Cutting out a wart becomes an operation if a
surgeon can discover a six-pound word with which to
name it.
Governor Parks threw the first shovelful of dirt
in excavating for the new capitol. If the delegate had
been there he'd have completed the excavation.
Chicago is selling the sky above its buildings and
New York is planning a series of underground resident
streets. At last the pedestrian has secured a refuge from
gun mobs and politicians.
If Alaska could cash in on all the “futures” pre
dicted for it by periodical visiting governmental junke
teers she could put on a bull market that would make
Wall Street resemble a band of crap-shooters.

HL ROBERTS ELECTED
m WOE COMMANDER
It has just been learned that one
of the Seward Legionnaires has j
been honored by being elected to
the post of second vice-commander ;
of the department of Alaska. Dr. j
A. R. Roberts was chosen for this
office without a dissenting vote. |
Also the delegates to the convention |
just ended at Juneau have gone on j
record of favoring a convention to
be held in Seward, during the
month of September, 1932. “Come
on fellows! Bring your buddies
from Seattle, Portland, ’Frisco and
other points west and south. We
will take care of you in Seward,”
states C. U. Stuart, Adjutant.
ALBERT VDIGHT ON TOE
BROAD BOSOM PACIFIC
Occupying a prominent posi- i
tion in the first section of the
Seattle Sunday Times, Sept., 22.
with a story on the front page
was a group picture of Seward’s
3 -fit visitor.?.-.-the four Russian
p-.intrri of the “Land of Soviet.”
This was merely a prelude to
their arrival in Seattle. Also, in
the same edition, in the rotogra
vure section, appeared an excel
lent likeness of Albert Voight in
his skin canoe.
Sewardites will recall his at
tempt to paddle from Resurrec
tion Bav down the coast with
New York as his destination. He
is now thought to be on the Pa
cific Ocean enroute to the Gol
den Gate.
SUPPLIES OLD FILES
, Thanks are offered George Sex
ton, who until this week conduct
ed the Sexton hotel for many
years, for the hundreds of clip
pings, files, etc., which he has
' turned over to the Gateway. The
i great number of old copies of
the Gateway, and other Alaska
newspapers dating from 25 years
ago, are intensely interesting as
are also the many other items.
It will now be possible to pub
lish excerpts from Gateways of
years ago. Files up to about eight
i or 10 years ago disappeared from
the office so the papers supplied
by Mr. Sexton are doubly welcom
ed.

According to schedule the S.
S. Yukon, of the A. S- S. Co., due
to arrive late this afternoon from
the south, will depart Seattle
hnd wav-ports at 11 o'clock to
morrow morning.
