BED TIME STORY FOR
 ALASKA CHILDREN
( (Malloch)

but We can not refrain from observ- ing that if the Fairbanks College basket ball team would draw the color line in arranging it's game schedules it would add to the dig nity of the institution it represents and to the self respect of the in- dividuaI players as we'll. -Stroller's Weekly, Juneau, January 14th
 We should say that he had lived
 too long in the country of Jim Crow cars If White, the stroller, rambler, hobo, is beyond his depth
 here, there are many highways open
 back to Gawga or Alabam.
 The crack, quoted above, marked
 and mailed to us from Juneau by one of Juneau's best citiens, proves that he (White) lived narrowly and with clouded vision, wherever it
 was. Alaska has tendency to
 broaden one. Its rugged beauty
 seeps into ~the normal mans soul and he becomes a lover of all things.
 It is the lure of the country.
 1 Sure enough, you'H run across a warped specimen of the genus Ihomo once in awhile even in this land of wonder and charm. White, Apparently, is one of those Nurs- ed in prejudice, weaned in selfish ness and raised in the gloom of iA- tolerance, he doesn't fit This is a land of big people. White is small. He's a runt.
 There was no occasion for the dirty fling like the one he's made.
 It doesn't get him anywhere, but it does show the man up as one of those velvet jacketed, frilI shirted, lace pantied individuals who is too damn nice to swallow his own spit.
 The stroller, rambler, hobo of the (peep-hole intelligentia, is peeved be- cause the Fairbanks College basket ball team has among it's players some athletes who are of Indian blood. Evidently, the Fairbanks College is as broad as White is mar irow,-and that's very broad.
 The stroller. the rambler, the i hobo says that the dignity of the college is injured Oh, no it isn't White is injured, that's all.
 ! There were ten thounsand Indians on the firing line in the World War program. What were they doing there? The Whites. the Browns, the Blacks, the Greens, the Jonses and the Smiths, who didn't go lacross the pond, cheered them or ] They were doing their part--wil.- ingly-in making the country safe for those at home, and Stroller White was one. Now he weeps and Isnarls when he sees an occasional one in a ball teams uniform. Poor man!
 Scientists say that the human l race hasn't improved in any way in the last ten thousand years. If there were many Of the stroller sort we'd be tempted to say that there had been something of a retrogres sion
 Any how, White doesn't need to associate with those he doesn't care for. There are no strings on his soclal schedule; there is no urging him to witness ball games where there are First Americans OR the ball teams, The players won't miss him if he stays away, and White will be in better humor if he doesn't go.
 And let's see-stroller sought 9 ! public office one time. He wanted votes We take it that he didn't care a whole lot where the votes came from as long as they were for P. ]. White. How did he run? He didn't get enough. support to stop

ABE LINCOLN February 12th, 18O9,-April 14th,
 1865

SoiA AuShS anu uuu6I U6dIShIu coy CTS, Abraham Lincoln was born on the 18th day of February, 1909. The house that sheltered mother and child was of rough logs and there was but one door and a single half-sash window. The floor was just ordinary dirt. There you have a picture of the birthplace of one ot the greatest men who ever lived.
 AS to Lincolns parents Tom Lincoln, the father, was a tall raw boned forest wanderer and rancher. Those who knew him liked him. Quiet in manner, slow of speech, industrious, but unsettled. As the region around him would grow to settlements, he'd shoulder ax and rifle and move off to where no one would tread on his heels. In one of these wandering jaunts he met Nancy Hanks, the adopted daught- CT of Thomas and Elizabeth Spar row. Nancy was a brunette Here's her historical description: Dark skin, dark brown hair, sharp hazel gray eyes, outstanding forehead, cheekbones and chin a bit accented, slender of body and weighing 13O pounds. She was sad with sorrow like dark stars in blue mist"
 Tom Lincoln and Nancy Hanks had June wedding-the 18th of June,-1S06. After the ceremony, each on horseback, they wandered oH on a red clay trail to Elizabeth town. The couple didn't stay here long. The wanderlust again smote the pioneering Tom. So, horseback again, with girl baby, Sarah. the three logged into the wilderness on the green banks of Nolans Creek. Tom didn't farm great deal. Too many trees. Too much brush. But he made doors and windows. door and window castings, cabinets and cofins.
 There, in the primitive log cabin Abe Lincoln was born. He came into the world red faced, wrinkled and crying, and Aunt Betty Spar row sized him up at once as a skin ny boy who would never come to much. So, you see, the lad started with a handicap from birth. He wouldn't amount to much. In silence and agony, from a wilderness moth CT, he came to us; as our leader in the trying time of the nation he was shot down and taken away.
 Sixty-three years dead is Abe Lin coin according to record. but his spirit lives with us stronger today than when he stepped up to the doors of the nation's4 capitol be- meath the gathering clouds of one of the greatest civil wars the world has known.
 Beneath the foliage of forest trees that broke the sunshine into lecks of dancing light on the mossv ground, Nancy taught Abe his let ters' from a we'll thumbed speller Of American tradition. His "read- err was the frayed copy of the stat utes of Indiana.
 Growing up, Lincoln became in terested in things political in Hi nois in 1892. He educated himself as he grew and out of this raw. rough and ready school of the iron tier, out of the law as it came to him in the stiffness of the woods. he somehow gained the power and experience needed for the nations greatest emergency.
 Much of the mans greatness was born with him. It included a great depth of understanding, generosity beyond the average and a wonderful vision. Malice, resentment and vim 11ctiveness were total strangers to (
