Nothing makes an Alaskan any more angry than to be accused of be- ing out of touch with the world.
 Yet this is the general opinion of the average citizen in the states.
 The same people who hold this opinion of us read the daily paper and perhaps a couple of columns of an extra, take in a movie and consider themselves in a position to pass opin- ions about Alaskans. We, in this coun try, receive all of our our news in the papers and then get every magazine we can lay our hands on, that we may understand all the notifications of diff ferent events.
