The best of us have only a few in lifetime; and the older we get, the more convinced we become that we have to hold on to them at all risks and at whatever costs, for, no matter how far you have to jour ney for friend, you must go gladly and with something more than joy in your heart"
 You know the various Alaska cities are known by certain descriptions other than their names This is a peculiarity of our people not confined to Alaska. New York is Gotham; Bos- ton is the Hub; San Francisco, the Golden Gate; Seattle, the Spirit City | (not because of it's nearness to the Canadian border); Cordova, the Cop per City; Valdez, the Glacier City; Juneau, the Capital City; Ketchikan, 1 the First City; and so on. Instances innumerable might be cited. There is one way in which Cordova can be- come of greater distinction than any of these, and that Is by encouraging and developing spirit of friendliness to each other, and to the strangers and visitors who come here. What finer thing could one wish for ones Home Town, than to have it known as The Friendly City Like Charity, however, friendliness begins at home, and we must learn to be friendly to- wards one another before we can sue. cessfully acquire the habit of being friendly towards strangers. The rule of it is simpl. It is the application of ! the rule that seems hard. Like being young it is simply mental condition. 1 If we won't take ourselves too serious lv we will have made a beginning. When Henry Slater cond ucted his res taurant at Cordova, for years he had motto on the back counter reposing on the piled-up cans of fruit and vege- tables which Henry used for decora- tions. That motto carried a message which we should all take to heart. It read like this: q am an old man, and have many troubles, but most of them never happened" !.
