HOW ABOUT THIS GENERATION?
It is natural enough for a man to plan ahead for his |
offspring out its possible for a government to become so
concerned about the welfare of posterity that it may:
overlook die needs of the present generation. We are j
thinking at this time of ex-Governor Win. Sulzer’s letter,!
published in Saturday’s issue of the Gateway, to Presi
dent Hoover.
We are talking about conservation and although the |
idea is all right in its saner aspects it can be jockeyed!
along by some of our busy little conservationists to be-1
come a serious menace to the well-being of people striv- j
ing today.
We don’t want to hog all the natural wealth that
exists today and destroy it beyond enjoyment of future
generations. Bv the same token we don’t like to see it
locked up by officious savers who tell us it is not good for i
us but may be good for our children.
Looking backward over the last 75 years we wonder
what would have happened to the development of the,
West if the conservation idea had been born at that time.
Well, if the government had bottled up the land and the
timber and the mineral under the guise of conservation
there wouldn't have been any development of the West,
leastways, not much. But as it was the pioneers develop
ed a mighty nation.
Those of us who have been striving to develop Alas
ka under present restrictions can only say we envy those
old boys and sigh that times have changed.
With die Wild River in the Kovukuk country and the
new creeks in the Ruby district the stampeders don’t
know which way to jump. With Nuka Bay quartz, the |
Taku and the recent Valdez strike we can only say,
“Thar’s gold in them hills, boys.”
TIMELY ADVICE
—
All dogs are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit j
of canine happiness and especially so in Alaska where j
the little steed of the North has carved out a niche in j
the hall of Alaska fame. Every so often a dog ordinance 1
comes up barring everything from airdales to zuppf- j
schounds—all kinds of pooches—from the streets. The
faithful brutes can't defend themselves but, never-the- j
less, there is something about a dog.•
So we are just beating Father Time to the post this1
year in giving the new city council some good ad
vice- which is; if some folks again want to start to “bar” j
something, take it under advisement and then forget it.
There are many things a hundred times worse than
our canine friends, running at large.
There’s something about a dog.•....
Now that the winter’s snow has gone, give the Vik-1
ings sitting at the helm of Uncle Sam’s Alaska Railroad
and the maintenance and way crews, a thought. All thru |
the long winter months, with but few exceptions, trains !
went thru on schedule time.
THE MECHANICAL AGE
i
It is questionable if the mechanical age will bring j
humanity all of the advantages that are claimed for it.
With the emergence of each innovation comes a gradual
crowding back of many cherished arts of civilization.
Not the least of these is music.
Now that the primary is over look around for those
lame ducks.

A complaint laid by a citizen to the effect that a]
bunch of malamutes were keeping him awake, turns |
out to be only a group of high school boys rehearsing for |
a quartet.
TWO FOOD SALES NOW
INSTEAD OF THE ONE,
OF WOMAN'S OlOB
The announcement of the Wo
man’s Club of their intent to hold
a gigantic food sale May 17 for
the express purpose of doing their
bit in furnishing the new Seward
General Hospital, has met with
such instantaneous and hearty ap
proval by the public, that is has
been decided to give two bake
sales instead of the one originally
olanned.
This is made necessary by the
overwhelming and generous sup
port offered by local ladies who
are rallying to the cause and
propose to make it. as was stated
yesterday, the largest undertaking
of its kind ever to have been held
in the city.
The first food sale will be held
this Saturday and the the second, |
on the date originally planned, ■
one week from next Saturday or 1
on May 17.
Through the courtesy of Cap
tain O. A. Johansen, permission
has been granted the ladies to use
the large store space in the Jo
hansen building.
