SELLING OURSELVES ON ALASKA

Dr Ales Hrdicka of the Smithsonian Institution in addressing the Juneau Chamber of Commerce yes terday pointed out that he had noticed failure on the part of Alaskans to be entirely sold on their own Territory There is 100 much evidence he said, on the part of many to think of Alaska place in which to live until such time they can make sufficient money to go back to the States
 He placed the figure at nne-tcnths of the Alas kans. His estimate. believe is too high. Surely there than tenth of the people living in the Territory who have adopted this land their home and are extending their efforts in its behalf as their country.
 But the unfortunate fact is obvious as Dr. Hrd- licka stressed that there still too many of us who cast longing eyes toward the States instead of con- centrating our efforts on making niche in this great northland.
 Oregon country of the Pacific in earlier days ndi- viduals who saw no promise in the western frontier. Many returned to the eastern states but those who stayed were instrumental in developing the great Pa cific slope. They established homes and they Saw wilderness turned into of the richest sections of the United States A great many of US in the north today are descendants of those pioneers who came into the Oregon country when it was the so-caled last frontier Our eyes turn southward toward that land even theirs turned eastward when they moved West Such is the human relation.
 But empires are not built by those who turn back ward Those who achieve look always ahead
 The airplane has suppanted the wagon train but the spirit must and will prevail in develop

 Prices, it appears are not the only things that are going up With them the hems of wel-dressed women's skirts are rising also Although we have had quite some years of relief from the ugliness of short skirts another trade cycle" has set in And skirts are moving fast They never got to the floor, Of course excepting the case of those evening gowns which carried to the ultimate the revival of the femn- inc traditions.
 But two or three years ago ten inches was con- sidered the correct distance between skirt and terra fir1na Now a foot is something like standard. And from Paris come grim warnings that 15 inches has become the official hiatus.
 Such a drift in womens styles is regretable, of course There never any charm in the short skirt and neither is there much to be said aesheuca for the average pair s pedal exremities exposed by the postwar skirt stopping short at the knee. But the short skirt with all its cargo of disillusionment with all it's hostility toward mans feeling for the ar tistic is on it's way back
 To resist it is like trying to empty the ocean with bucket or like trying to prevent the next war There is something deep in human nature 1t seems that compels women's skirts to in cycca fluctuatlon
 The skirt of 1888 doubtless will have just about the aesthetic charm of pair of overals. Ii 1t IS as rare and as unwelcome the seventeenyear locuSts it is fully as inevitable at the same time It is best not to protest in these matters One can only nope quietly that the curve of skrengih will not rise to its postwar high nor stay long at the point of max mum bad taste

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1887

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1937 Although benefic aspects rule pos litively today, there are adverse in | fluences read as precipitatlng olt- ter propositions and quarrels. For constructive thinkers with far mental vision this is a sitmu- lating day, but they may be over come by mass emotionalism which encourages labor troubles, politi- cal difficulties and international misunderstandings. Women are subject to an unfa- vorable direction of the stars today. They should curb their desire to spend money and to seek amuse- ments.
 This is not an suspicious con1i- guration for love affairs and for this reason girls will be happiest when attending to their routine du- ties and enjoying uneventful week lends.
 Home builders are subject to the most fortunate sway which seems to promise a summer of extraor- dinary pleasure in new dwellings.
 Reacticnary influences which will effect many American ideas may be apparent in architecture. Ex- treme modern plans now may be less acceptable than formerly.
 There is a sign today which is most fortunate for educators, law yers and the clergy. New national leaders are to arise from groups that are broadly educated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good luck. Money may come through specu- lation as well as through regular business channels.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be individual and dynamic Subjects of this sign reach fame through original and independent effort.
 Patrick Henry, American states man and orator, was born on this day 1736 Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday include Charles II. King of England, 1850; Sarah, first Duchess of M2rl5or- ough, 1660

Rea4eueAence Night Aelh

During the past week two delegations rep
resenting the Helton and Trade, Tepn roads
respectively made trips to Raleigh to present
their claims to the highway commission.
These are two roads that are seriously need
ed in the county, but there are many more as
we'll and we often wonder if our lack of atten-
ton from the state is not partly due to the fact
that we don't appear before them more often
and in greater numbers. It is true whether MIR.
Waynick and his commission will admit it or
not that people often get their way in order to
get them to quiet down.
We have never felt that we have had a fair
share in the road building program of the state
and we get the feeling from the fact that other
counties are actually able to tear up and re-
build better roads than we have seen here. Mr..
Waynick is most affable and friendly according
to the report of the delegations, and has prom
ised to investigate affairs. We sincerely hope he
was not being pleasant only to get our repre-
sentatives quietly out the side door and now
that two hundred and twenty miles intervene
between them matters will continue they
have been-with our name seldom seen on the
favored list
The Trade road, or the remainder of route
16 would mean much more to Ashe than the
the mere opening up of that part of the county
1t would turn thousands of cars through the
county annually that are now going several
miles out of the way by Boone to get to various
parts of the state from points in Tennessee and
other parts of the United States.
The Helton road would also open up large
part of the county as well as good part of Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Waynick shows promise of being our
friend. Let's keep behind him until he has a
chance to prove it. If it is worth having, it is
worth keeping after.

Clendale-Millers
Greek Road Work
Being Continued

Finishing touches were placed on
contraction work on that section of
highway 16 between Wilbar and the
Jumping Off Place" on top of the
Blue Ridge last week, it was learn
ed from an official of T. M. Strider
company, contractors.
Work on the project has been UNI
der way for year and engineers
are loud in their praise that Sec
ton of highway as being one of the
best to scale the heights of the Blue
Ridge in North Carolina.
The new road follows a direct
course in the vicinity of the old
Jumping off road" that was the
main artery of travel by wagon
trains before the day of automobiles.
1t will be the most direct outlet for
Ashe county to this section and pied
month North Carolina.
One link of three miles remains to
be constructed before the highway is
completed between Millers Creek,
where it intersects with highway 321
and the Jeffersons in Ashe county.
Nello Teer has the contract for grad
ing and stone surfacing the three
mile link between the Jumping Off
Place" and Glendale Springs, and
work has begun. From that point
macadam road leads into the Jeffer-
sons. The short link between the
Jumping Off Place" on the summit
of the Blue Ridge and Glendale
Springs will follow in the vicinity
of the route of the Blue Ridge Park
way.
New highway Is, in addition to
being splendid route for CONNER
cial travel, will abound in scenic in
terest, the Jumping Off Place" be-
ing scene of rare rugged grandeur
with the highway blasted along the
side of 500-foot precipice near the
top.
Stone blasted from the face of the
precipice was used after being
crushed to subsurface the new link
of, highway and enterprising quarry
workers are now mining additional
stone for building purposes. The
stone is very hard and has a rich
blue-gray color. The strata is so
formed that large sheets of the stone
can be mined.

Joseph Jerome Thomas, North

was 81 years old to make his first
visit to Florida, but from the little
he has seen so far he intends to come

once every year for the rest of his

Mr.. Thomas arrived here yester-
day from his home near Grassy
Creek, N. c., and although it was q
bleak day he was greatly impressed
He found Jacksonville a much larg-
er city than he had expected to see
1t was the sunshine and warm
weather that attracted Mr.. Thomas
here. He said that for years he had
been hearing about the wonderful
climatic conditions of the state, re-

Mr.. Thomas said he did not intend

81 st uly.tR ct?

"How Awful" we exclaim as we read that
111,0OO lives were snuffed out in 1886 by auto
mobile accidents and home accidents which
were the results of carelessness of the part of
somebody who by using little thought and
horse sense might have saved his life or the life
of his friend or relative. During January this
year, one American city with around 100000
population reported death rate from careless
motoring which amounted to an average of
seven day
But, after we exclaim our show awfulS", we
turn to the next page of the paper to more in
teresting reading and forget it. 5
Suppose we read instead that the city just
mentioned reported that each day during Janu-
ary seven people were selected each morning
by lottery method and sacrificed at public
ceremony We would think the whole depart
ment of justice backed by the national army
ought to be called out to stop such inhuman
slaughter. Even so, such method is not as in
human as our present method of thoughtlessness
and carelessness Under a lottery system, the pa
pers each morning could list the names of those
to be sacrificed that day and the unfortunates
could wind up their business, tell their families
goodbye, make what amends necessary before
shuffling off this mortal coil, and 60 to their
doom. This opportunity is not given to those
who are run down by speeding cars, blown up
by gasoline which should have been kerosene,
shot by unloaded guns.
It might be well for us to remember this
gruesome picture as we begin each day. A sta
tstician has worked out figures to prove that
our daily chances of being killed is greater than
our chances of winning prize in the many
name-drawing contests where we often spend
dollar or two.
Is dangerous driving and careless actions
worth the price?
