COMMUNITY AKCmrttis
“Lives of great men oft remind us we can make
sublime, and departing, leave behind us footprints
on the sand of time. ’
Thus sang the poet of an age when greatness was
expressed more in terms of fortuitous genealogy than
in individual contributions to the happiness of mankind.
Thus we come to the question oi What is gieat
ness?” The avenues o< expression are multifold, not
the least of which is in the employment of the talents
to one’s immediate environment.
The man who builds c little home, creates a flower
garden and gives to his community this expression of
permanency» becomes at once an architect, because he
has added his touch to the general scheme of progress.
The same may be said of hose who, in establishing
business are not cofttem to mark time, but adds pro
gressive permanency to h:z quarters, at the same time
giving expression to hi faith in loyalty to his home
town or city.
Many men dream of ascending to the glare of the
spotlight through some extraordinary performance.
Unconsciously they are in the spotlight through the
simple agencies at hand wherein they gave their best
even in the smallest way. Through these agencies of
expression cities are built, and keeping abreast of
evolutionary progress stand evidence that the com
munity architect is not content to stand still.
True, familiarity breeds contempt, especially in
small communities, jealousies often blind one to the
cardinal virtues of another. The same forces may be
made to serve in the accomplishment of the goal for
which all progressive men aim.
One may be great in little things as well as big.
While the criticizer is telling how7 much he knows
about the other fellow’s game, the latter chap is hitting
the ball and playing the game square.
The malamute breed and the sled, the most roman
tic and treasured symbol of Alaska, is slowly but sure
ly vanishing as a conveyor in the North in favor of the
comfort and speed of the airplane. Thus does the mach
ine age banish to oblivion one more of the cherished
institutions of a more innocuous day.
Uur idea oi a dismal failure is the author who tries
to describe a courtship in which neither party lies
to the other.
Because nature puts the warble fly along a rein
deer’s spinal column to keep him active is no reason
why they should not take the cuckleburs out of winter
underwear.
It is not considered good form to wear suspenders,
to a fat man’s when he can’t keep his belt above the
average.
“Governor Parks throws the first shoveful of
dirt.” No, this is not the opening of a political cam
paign; it had to do with the new capitol building.
Roger Babson says what the country needs now is
honesty, self control and faith. That’s about all it ever
needed.
Paris, has dec-reed long skirts. Now we will hear
less of this “high blood pressure” malady.
Providing the athletic inclin- I
ed will take a little interest in
plans now formulating, the Sew- \
ard Women’s Athletic Club will ,
be sponsors for opening up and
maintaining the local gymnasium,
Dreamland Hall, this winter.
To this end a preliminary
meeting was held last night to
which several were called in to
plan ways and means to carry
!on. Tentative plans were out
S lined and these will be presented
at a public meeting Saturday nite |
at 7 o'clock in Dreamland Hall, 1
Those who are interested in see- !
ing basketball and other athletic i
games and exercises maintained
thruout the coming winter, are
urged to attend the Saturday night
meeting tc help with suggestions.
It is said Fred C. Miller, pro
prietor of the building, has con
sented to lease the hall at a n» ur
inal figure which is well within
an amount hitherto raised thru
memberhips and donations.
T 3 most important thing at j
his time, however, is the public |
; meetLig Saturday and it is hop- s
cd all interested will be present j
to lend their personal support and
give expression to their personal
ideas.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Peter Jorgenson, mining man
of the Fortymile country, was
jset upon by a big brovfriie in
i August, says a Fairbanks report,
and after a terrific hand-to
hand encounter, escaped after
being severely lacerated. The
bear had felled him but suddenly j
Jarous tnd made off. I
i The Sourdough Stampede As- !
sociation was formerly incorpor- j
(ated at Seattle two weeks ago
to perpetuate the annual Sour
! dough celebration for veterans !
of the Alaska-Yukon gold rush |
days.
