WHITE
HORSE CABARET
AGAIN EXPANDS

Vincent Hraste and Joseph Pavelka.
proprietors of the White Horse cabaret
in Aqua Prieta, have just completed
their most extensive rebuilding opera
tions in the history of the club. The
White Horse was established less than
two years ago by Pavelka. At that
time the place occupied but one small
corner of the big building.
1t was a restaurant anu retreshment
booth to begin with. Business was
good. People liked Pavelka and his
partner and the little corner room was
crowded. The partners cut down some
partitions and put in dance floor and
business increased. Again they cut
down partitions and increased the ca
pacity of the house.
The b.. .7iness is still growing and
with the new enlargement the cafe
kitchen has been moved into a new
section entirely and the dance floor
and dining tables have been given a
much larger space. Additional tables
have been moved in so that more than
200 people can now be accommodated
in the dg.1ce hall alone.
Felix Armendariz, proprietor of the
cafe service and chef for the estab-
lishment, has the best quarters now
for his i owes and the long lunch
counter that he has had since the
business started He says that he can
now serve more people rapidly and
give them even better food than in the
past.

conquered, it was by the power of truth. That may be why no other American statesman has left so deep an impress upon the thought and the imagination of the world There is no more romantic figure in the annals of statecraft than this tall and strangely sorrowful, some times morose and always burdened child of the clearing and the prair- ies,"

ST. VALENTINE

The world owes much to St. Val Ientire even if for nothing more than the establishment of pretty GUS .Om. And it's far hail back to the year 270 to tote a custom, isn't it? We don't just know when the ob- servance of St. Valentines Day be- gan, but we know that there was much conflict about that time be, tween the so-called pagans and the growing christianity.
 St. Valentine was christian priest, and in the squabbles of the time he was captured, clubbed, laid over a block and his head cut off The few christians took this rather hard. It taught them that if christ ianity was to succeed they would have to move slow, for there were many pagan customs. Also, many of the christian leaders were afraid of their heads, too.
 Anyway, they remembered how St. Valentine died and every Feb ruary after his death there was something of a program gotten up in memorial. As the years have dror- ped astern the program has varied As the celebration of St. Valentine comes down to the present genera tion, it is one of purely sentiment al remembrance, emphasizing the modern tendency to dust away the settings of antiquity and to make clearer the sociable customs that appeal. Its real religious signifi l canoe has been lost for some time.
 Here's THE ALASKAN's valen- tine to all, young and old: Young hearts are sending many 2 l
