E4-TAlTU51A -2IO2TE'E7S
You left old scenes that summer day
And left old friends behind;
You smiled but fear was in your hearts.
You knew not what you'd find--
The men were gay, the women brave,
They'd not admit the tears
That friends saw lurking in their eyes.
You Matanuska Pioneersi
The days go by as if on wings,
Ere many months have flown;
You and your loved ones will rejoice
In home that's all your own.
Home, and a goodly plot Of ground,
TO yield a living for years.
Independence, health, for you
Matanuska PiOneersi
The courage our forefathers had,
you've shown US you possess;
Your friends far back in the States,
Ask God your venture to bless.
SO teach your children loyalty
TO the "Stars and Stripes" that wave,
TO the President Of our great land
He knew you'd be strong and brave.
If he gave you opportunit y you cra7ed,
To Wrest a living anew
From the Natanuska Valley,
ringing peace and contentment to you
Your names will 60 down in history,
Throughout the coming years;
You brave, courageous vanguard,
You Matanuska Pioneersi

Will be doing the folks back there

following Figures.
If q package weighs twelve or
less pounds have it sent parcel
post. From thirteen to forty ex-
press is the cheapest, but above
that it is advi sable to have it
sent by freight.
There is joker in that last.
e had a IS lb. box come freight
and it cost 54.l6 to land it here.
The same box would have cost $3.50
by express, because Of the hundred
pound minimum charge for freight
shipments out Of Seattle.
How about lacking this sheet
on the wall and telling the folks

Both Your Houses" Prize Play,
Offered BY Drama Guild

Both Your Houses" Maxwell
Anderson's Pulitzer prize winning
drama of the affairs of Congress,
was the second play of the Drama
Guild of Washington, presented
last evening at the Wardman Park
Theater. Despite the inclement
weather, an enthusiastic crowd
greeted the local players and were
amply rewarded by a very excel
lent version of that fascinating
and clever farce designed to satir-
ize the foibles of the human race
and perhaps set people thinking
as we'll.
When one recalls that Mr.. An
derson wrote the play some little
time before such important steps
as the New Deal were talked of,
this does indeed become very
interesting choice for a drama of
popular appeal.
