listed throughout the world dur

lieve that the operating results
shown demonstrate the sound
ness of the policy of diversi-
ficatiOn which has been fol
lowed in the organization and ex-
panSiOn of Drug, Incorporated"

strong position, showing a net

interruption to do his part in
the late war he has stayed put
ever since, only he has moved
up to the post of cashier. He's
into most everything going to
make for the public good in that
community.
Mr.. Whitacre believes business
is largely dependent for success
or failure on a proper state OF
mind, and says:
Fear has entered into the
minds of the American buSi-
ness man and investor and
has wrought havoc in our buSi-
ness enterprises, and we can
not hope for a return to nor
NAL prosperity until this fear
has been eradicated.
From fear, Investments are
not made, homes are not
bought, factories are not OPP
Grated at full capacity and
thus fear becomes the root Of
our economic evils. Such fear
is contagious.
"Tts ill effects are felt through
the sympathetic business rela-
tiOnships of the world. The
capitalist fears to operate and
the poor man has no job.
"When fear has been sup
planted with hope and en-.
thusiasm, with courage and
confidence, then will prosper
ity follow as day the night"
A wife and two girls, Pauline
and Esther, keep Mr.. Whitacre
on his mettle and help to shape
his philosophy of life. 80

ALASKA AND THE PHILIPPINES

Alaska has population of approximately 5000; the the Philippines, 10,350,640!
 Alaskas area is 590884 square miles, the Philippines 114 400 square miles!
 There are hundreds upon hundreds of islands in AL aska but in the Philippines there are 7,O83!
 Alaska there couple of dozen different dia- lect but in the Philippines there between 35 ito 51 spoken!
 While there are millions of natives in the Philippines Asatcs in blood, color and ncnations there only few thousand whites probably about the percentage as in Alaska.
 Like Alaska the Philippines wants the government to extend every aid for development but unlike Alaska frowns upon taxation In other words little brown brothers want the whole d-works but unwilling to recprocate. However, this attitude may have been n jected by the politicians which the islands in mad dance for power and riches They have trained the Filipnos to claor for independence and have made good job of it. this be ikened great extent in training the Alaska Eskimo for independency to set up independent government in northern Alaska.
 The politicians, according to Author Harry L. Foster of "A Beachcomber in the Orient have led the natives to believe independence means abolition of all taxes the islands supporting but pay the United States gov ernmen dividends Our view of the Philippine situa-
 n is that the United States should get rid of the islands, there is nothing in between Asiatc and Western blood and certainly with the Fpinos who have been playing Uncle Sam for "sap' these many years.

The long table was ranged with bowls
Of crackers and condiments.
Gumbo simmered in the tripod on
the fire, and Steve in the corner was
chopping UP q salad Of cabbage and
red peppers. Outside the wind swirled
and dashed salt spray against the win

filled with the smell of the gumbo and
the peppers. and q surreptitious steamy
smell Of oysters and hot bread.
Most of the crowd were there when
Adrian and his group arrived-Bettina
Byrnes and Rod Stevens; q pale girl
in gold hoop earrings and chamois
