JACK M'eORD TELLS SEATTLE REPORTER IF
 GRAZING, ALEUT|ANs

Jack McCord, leader in the latest Alaskan development project, was passing thru Seattle week ago on his way east, to clear up final de- tails of plan that means opening up and settling the Alcutian islands, re ports the Seattle Star.
 Backed by 30 Wall Street bankers he plans to develop m uninhabited strip of islands HOO miles long, ex- tending far out into Bering sea to- ward Siberia.
 So far, he said, he has leased the 90,OO0-acre island of Sitkalidak as base for the MoCord Alaska Co.,, for raising livestock, reindeer, fur and sheep, and for fisheries, and has started work as vice president of the Aeutian Livestock Co.
 The project was made possible by bill passed thru congress last March.
 Under it's terms the government agrees to lease GAO acres on the Alaskan mainland for fur farming or grazing, and up to 30 square miles on any island in the Aleutians, to any one lessee. The Aleutians are in a latitude somewhat north of Se attle, but from 1000 to 2o00 miles west.
 McCord is A, an Alaskan since he was 23, looks 30 and is known as one of the most romantic figures of the Northland. His wife, former West Virginian, whom he met in New York, is with him on the trip.

MACPHERSON IS NOT
 ASSOCIATED WITH AIMEE.

"In this age of sectarianism among the protesting churches, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain an un-sectarian platform. Quite re- gently some have suggested we might be associated with the Aimee Semple McPherson cult, but this is in no wise true. We are associated with those commonly known as Brethren. The brethren movement started more than 100 years ago, principally in Ireland and the west of England, the aim of which was to bring the children of God together by recognition of membership of the body of Christ as the only ground of reception. By ignoring the barri- CTS of denominationalism that then existed, a fellowship was enjoyed which has been unknown for cen turies. Peace within and power without characterized the movement. There was of course, opposition from both clergy and laity Nevertheless, not few of the most spiritual in the churches were attracted by the godliness of the lives and the open ing up of the scriptures from such God-given ministery.
 Today there are approximately 5000 such assemblies of Brethren" in the British Isles and many more scattered throughout the larger cities in the States and Canada, maintain ig missionary training schools, homes and orphanages and some 2,O0O mis- sionaries in all parts of the globe"

IF naonle in general were to in
clude Christmas seals as part OF
the regular Christmas shopping,
realizing that 40 cents out Oh
everv dollar spent for seals will
remain here to help give under

be a hundred families in this com
munity that could spend 81 each
for Christmas seals without feel
ing if. and many more who can
buy smaller amounts. The aggre-

that all the children who really

Ben Anderson has sublet the
Circle mail route to Ed Goolsby

will take the north end and Gools-
by the south end with meeting
place at Goolsby's farm. Mr.. And
erson saws this arrangement will
be used until about the first of
April or as soon as he can again
use his truck. 1t was impossible
to make the route with the truck
and Mr.. Anderson didn't care to
make an investment in horses. He
believes that cutting the route in
two and using horses will give
good service from now on.
Later-Ben said today that Gools-
bv has thrown up his end OF the
contract and that he, Ben, will
take that end of it if he can en-
gage some horses.
