Rite Of ~Footwashing
Is Kentucky Custom

Whitesburg, 'Ky.-Foot-washing-a
religious rite observed almost annually
in the Kentucky mountains for ap-
proximately one hundred and fifty
years-wasl a feature of the annual
meeting of the congregation of the
old Thornton Baptist Church at May
king, in Letcher county, near here.
The services were held inside the
church, the women standing on one
side of the little building and the men
on the other. More than a score of
ministers and several hundred persons
from this community and other noun
tain settlements took part.
The footwashing practice dates back
to the founding of the first Baptist
church in Kentucky, about 1881. 1t
first was conducted by John Taylor
in the church he founded late in the
eighteenth century.

Organized labor will emerge from
the present period of depression in in
hnitely better position than ever be-
fore in the history of the United
States, declared R. R. Lawrence, presi-
dent of the North Carolina State Fed
Grafton of Labor, in a recent state
ment.
Mr.. Lawrence said'ai~l4a;S in spite of
hard times, unemployment, and a
drive on the part of employers to force
wages downward, organized labor is
steadily and consistently growing in
membership and determination in this
state.
New locals are being developed in
all parts of North Carolina, he said.
The depression has served to prove to
working people that their only hope
in the future lies in organization and
in collective action to remedy inequal-
tiles in the economic and social sys-
tenn.
The head of Communism is being
raised in the state, President Lawrence
said, especially in the mill sections,
where privation and actual hunger are
increasingly prevalent. The coming
winter will provide fertile grounds for
the activities of radicals, the labor
leader said, since hungry and desperate
people are apt to turn to those who
hold out promises of Utopia through
a new governmental system.
The teachers of North Carolina have
been special victims of the drive
against workers wages, President Law
renee said. Teachers salaries have beer
in hundreds of cases, reduced fifty per
cent. This procedure, Mr.. Lawrence as
serted, was unwarranted and utterly
unreasonable, being carried out because
the teachers were hopelessly morgan
lied and helpless to combat the de-
structive wage reduction drive that has
been imposed upon them.
Organization work is progressing in
all locals. The automobile drivers es-
p~ecially are active and signing up new
members.

DORBANDTS RACK TO ANCHOR
 AGE FROM TRIP TO STATES
Anchorage Times,)


 Back from the States, where they have travelled extensively since leav- ing Anchorage early in the year. MT. and Mrs. Frank Dorbandt returned to Anchorage shortly before 6 o'clock last evening aboard their new Pill grim Fl, having made the journey from New York to this city in 43 hours flying time.
 When Pilot Dorbandt set out for Alaska in his new ship he contem- plated locating in Southeastern Alas ka, but upon arrival there he found conditions so unfavorable for flying that he decided to return direct to Anchorage, preferring to play around in this section of the Territory than to attempt commercial flying where weather conditions are not depend- able. Under tn eterms of his agree ment with the Pacific International Airways, Pilot Dorbandt cannot re- sume flying in this section of the Territory until the expiration of a year from the date he disposed of his interest in the company, but he and Mrs. Dorbandt claim Anchorage as their home and they would rather be here than any other place they know.
 Upon arrival at Seattle early in the season the Dorbandts purchased an automobile and started out to go to places and see things, and they had visited every city of importance in the United States before they had completed their wanderings- They travelled a distance of about 19,OOO miles over the nations highways and airways, including the flying back to Alaska from Seattle.
 The Pilgrim plane is seven-place monoplane, the very newest thing in the flying line It was purchased in New York and flown across the conti- nent and north to Alaska, performing in a manner entirely satisfactory. It is beautiful craft and has attracted much attention at Lake Spenard. where it has been parked by it's owner.

Alaskans generally will remember that popular officerr, Major John c. Gotwals, who served from April 1920 until March 192 as engineer officer for the Alaska Road Commission and U. s. Engineer Department. Although his headquarters during that period was at Juneau, hins official duties took him all over the Territory and he became we'll known figure. From Alaska he was transferred to St. Louis, where he was engaged in en- gineering work for six years. In July 1920 the Major was given the position of Engineer Commissioner for the District of Columbia, being one of the three commissioners who are entrust- ed with the responsibility of manag- ing the business affairs of the city of Washington. At present Major Got walls is taking a much needed rest and vacation from the duties that have proven quite thrying on the health of a man who lived much in the open in Alaska and thrived on the great outdoor life.

The residents of Rampant write that they are greatly disappointed because their petition flor rebuilding two bridges across Big Minook river, and the repair and extension of the Government road to meet the present Hot Springs highway at Eureka" has not received more substantial atten- tion. The Alaska Road Commission is building small bridge at the mouth of the Little Minook, but the residents say this will be of little service to any of the other creeks, as it is inaccessible to Hoosier, Hunter or Manook Junior. The request for the building of a highway to Eureka would first have to be reported by the engineers as a new project and the money then provided for it. It is hoped that this may be done next year.
