LIFE WORTH LIVING IN ALASKA, STATES
 ROBERT ROCKINGHAM

Hospitality was the theme dwelled upon yesterday, at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon, by Robert Froth- ingham nationally known author, lee. turer and globe trotter, who is in Seward enroute Westward on big game hunt.
 He recited the hospitality encoun- tered in the States, especially in the East, as compared to that found in the West and particularly in Alaska, and much to Alaska's credit.
 "AIRshans include hospitality as a part of the days work" Mr. Froth- ingham said, "but if you only knew what travellers are up against in the East. I speak very feelingly on this subject having been salesman on the road for many years"
 The word conference, he explained, is now regarded as the joke of the business world of the East. Just an excuse to escape business duties. Mir. Frothingham elucidated in plain English how caller at an office be- gins to feel after he has been told the "big cheese" is in conference; lat CT, still out at luncheon: he has an engagement now, or he is just sign ing his mail.
 Mir. Buckingham said he has fallen in love with Seward and it's people. In the States people are crazy after money Tt is not so here. You get much more out of life. Life is worth
