SAVE YOUNG BODIES
It may sound axiomatic and even trite but a
healthy body is just as important as a healthy mind.
To go further, at the risk of being didactic, it is a
shame that after having provided the children of Sew
ard with a fine school in which to polish up their
minds, we futilely fall down on the job at the critical
point and fail to provide them with gymnasium facili
ties to furbish up their bodies.
This is not a theory but a condition and must be
met squarely.
Tonight at the school house a meeting has been
called under the name of the Seward Athletic Club,
but the call is aimed at every able-bodied citizen of
Seward who is able to get there with or without the aid
of a crutch. This thing of providing the youth of Sew- j
ard with a gymnasium or place for games and events
has got to be decided, and there is no thinking man in
the city but knows what that decision should be. Every
paren every business man should be there. Its a per
ennial question in Seward and its about time definite
action is taken to settle this gymnasium proposition to
give the kids what’s due them.
This talk has gone far enough,—we need action.
THESE PROSPERITY WAVES
James J. Davis, secretary of labor, apparently in
an effort to fill us full of hop and take our minds off
so-called hard times, predicts that we are due for the
‘‘greatest wave of prosperity the world has ever seen.”
We dent know where he gets that stuff but we do
know that we dont want no more*waves; anyway, not
until we have recovered from the last one." We got
such a ducking and a pushing around from that one
that we haven’t got our breath yet and do not know
what we would do with another one if we had it.
These waves of prosperity are more or less the
bunk. They throw us out of our stride and put funny
notions in our heads. They upset the whole economic
applecart and make dubs out of ordinary people with
common sense.
Look what happened in Wall Street a year ago
and what almost happened again last week. People
went hog-wild in the market betting their shirts that
the P-reat bull market could never falter or fall down j
Setting up a ficticious standard of values that all the [
money in the world could not have maintained, losing'
every shred of caution that ordinary prudence might
dictate. It was a money jamboree without sense of di
rection and the resulting crash of false values caused
a loss of billions that was felt down to the very toes of
the body politic.
These waves are nothing more or less than jazz
parties or betting drunks that leave empty pockets, a
bad taste and a headache. What we want is to get back
to normalcy. We dont want to get rich over-night but
when we take a draught from this ciystal stream of
prosperity we do not want to find it a poison concoc
tion that will back-fire on us.
Dam the waves; give us a good steady flow and
we’ll take a chance with the rest of them.
THE PICTURE IS ALL WRONG
We have heard much about the terrible conditions
among the natives and Indians of the Westward; of
their alleged low morals, drunkeness, sickness and ig
norance, so we were quite prepared to view with pity
these things upon our visit among them last summer.
We were not exactly disappointed but we were i
greatly surprised to note a total lack of all those things.
We saw three drunks and they were whites. We saw;
some sickness, yes, but not any more than would be j
found elsewhere; of ignorance we saw none, and of;
morals, we do not profess to be a judge.

MISTRU FIS! DIE
OFF: POLLUTE RIVER
ADELAIDE, Australia, Oct. 16. (A3)
—The fish that formerly teemed in
| Australia’s greatest river—the Mur
ry— are dying in myriads and the
I banks for hundreds of miles are
| strewn with them.
1 Death of the the fish is said to
j be due to locking of the river dur
ing recent years for the irrigation
of farms.
The locks have impeded the flow
| and the waters are becoming im
pregnagated with salt and mag
nesia.
This pollution not only kills the
fish, but also the mussels, their
principal food.
Col. Ralston, Canadian flyer is
in charge of the aerial survey and
two parties of 10 men each
are working north and south of the
Stikine on the International High
way survey in British Columbia, ac
cording to the Wrangell Sentinel.
A sum of $25,000 has been appro
priated by the Province of British
Columbia for the survey between
Hazelton and Telegraph Creek.
The Anchorage Light & Power
Company, Frank I. Reed president,
has been awarded the contract to
install transmission lines to the
new radio station being established
at Anchorage by the U. S. Army.
