THE SUN “DO MOVE”
Now that we have the brown bear safe from exter
mination and guaranteed a full ration ot prospectoi s,
sheep, cattle and Indians, with large areas where he may
roam unmolested, the next thing in order is the conser
vation of whales. This movement is well under way in
the East, according to a dispatch printed the other day,
where it is feared that posterity will be denied the pleas
ure of viewing these mammals unannoyed by man.
Here opens another field of endeavor to supplant
those eliminated by the conservation craze. Why not
start whale farms? There is oil, bone, meat and milk!
It should be no difficult matter in these days of scienti
fic miracles to catch yearling whales, saddle them and
“bust” them into docile mounts after the manner of the
cayuse. This would give the movies new material to work
up thrills, now that cracking up airplanes has become a
bore to society. Just think of the annual rodero, when the
whale-punchers, caparisoned in fur chaps, spurs and
quirt, began busting young whalets and teaching them
to neck-rein, stand where put and to outraee a mammoth
leviathan in getting him into the milking pens.
It offers a new field for hog callers who have failed
to make the phonograph records because of an asthmatic
note in their larnyx. The ancient Greeks who created
aphrodite, Psyche and Neptune could hardly get into the
box score against a whale-puncher, floating majestically
upon the spume of an indolent breaker, chanting a lulla
by calculated to soothe the feelings of a whale whose
hide was crusted with barnacles and who was unable to
find a good scratching post.
True we have gotten along some 1,900 years without
having seen the type of whale that swallowed Jonah, and
no one misses the brantosaur, iehtosaur, dinosaur and
diplodocus, along with the Roc and that wonderful liar
Aladdin, who passed into limbo when man was develop
ing from a tadpole into the first semblance of an intelli
gent chimpanzee. But posterity should not be denied the
sight of a whale swallowing three barrels of herring and
just when Yom Kippur, Roshoshana and Friday fell on
the same date and herrings were at a premium.
Hence we may envision an executive order setting
aside half of the Pacific ocean as a whale reserve, and
then creating other zones for whale farms, along with
another bevy of “search without warrant” officials to
herd the lesser light of humanity into the beehives of
the great cities and make golf players out of first-class
eskimo whale flenchers.
If citizens of Seward come forward voluntarily as
did B. Storey in assisting financially the large expense
in converting the old school house into a modern general
hospital, it will be the realization of many years earnest
desire. Mr. Storey donated $100 cash for tiling three bath
rooms. Seward is small but no finer and more public peo
ple can be found on this old, weather-worn globe.
The coming of a general hospital to Seward means
the advent—speaking commercially—of a $50,000 indus
try. From a humantarian standpoint, the value is incom
parable.
That remark “Don’t be a heathen,” has been the sub
of much local comment the past week. Lead but d(
not drive.
There is one consoling thought in connection witl
the efforts to prevent Alaska developing like the States
The wide open spaces affers a refuge for those one la]
ahec.d of the installment man.
It is claimed by late Alaska dispatches of recent dab
that the throne of Spain is tottering. Alright, Alphonse
we also have ‘em going under the table from Volsteada
phobia.

ELECTED, FICDLTT
i -
. It was reported to the school
board meeting last evening that
all teachers re-elected for the 1930- !
31 term have accepted but only !
| one. Miss Dawson, has thus far j
jtendered her certificate to the j
board. It is expected, however, all
will be in by April 30.
Francis G. Groth, who had
been elected as the seventh and j
eight grade teacher for next year,
notified the board he could not
accept; he has been reelected at
the Mission school and will con
tinue his work there next term.
In his stead Reed G. White, an
1 arrival here two weeks ago, was
elected. Mr. White is well qualified
' to handle those grades and also
; as athletic coach. He is a grad- 1
1 uate of the Mounmouth Normal
of Oregon and, though tender in i
years—23 years of age, and titan- j
haired—has had considerable ■
! teaching experience. He has not i
definitely decided whether to r
main here for the summer or re
turn home but would rather stay,
i Included in the recommenda
j tions which the board will present
' to the city council, are the follow
item:
A number of new clesKs ior stu
dents, battleship linoleum for the
1 halls, storm windows and doors,
doors refitted, ash disposal and
| enclosed janitor entrance, im
provement to the school grounds,
reversal of the heating system,
1 and installation of an automatic
stoker.
Meeting was adjourned subject
to call by President Erwin.

THE STORY WITH A BIG PUNCH
THE SIN SISTER”
A thrilling tale of adventure, passion and love, mostly
staged on a private yacht in Bering Sea, and in Nome.
The ship picks up a number of passengers and then is
ice-locked. The efforts of the party to reach the outside
results in an absorbing series of incidents which bring out
their real characters in a most surprising way.
