FOR THE PEOPLE

One hundred and fifty years ago
this summer a group of fifty-flve
Americans planned and wrote an
historic document that stands as
one of the high lights OF human
achievement. 5
It sounded a new note in govern
ment. It made government of the
people, by the people. for the peo-
pie practical and lasting. 1t became
the inspiration and the model of
democratic governments throughout
the world. =,
It was the Constitution of the
United States e
In this and succeeding articles
will be told each week the story of
how, on the same dates of $50 years
ago. those fifty-f1ve men wrought
through a Sweltering Philadelphia
summer, to give the American ideal
Of freedom both reality and per-
manence.
:. The Convention that wrote our
Constitution opened formally on
May Is, 1887, at Philadelphia, in the
historic structure already famous as
the birthplace of the Declaration of
independence. It's purpose was to
achieve a more practical form of
union than was provided under the
Articles of Confederation, which had
proved so inadequate as to be called
"a rope of sand" s..>..
To many contemporary observers
that opening session seemed rela-
lively, unimportant, But later his
torians learned to acknowledge it as
one of the most significant sessions
of the entire summer. For On that
date the Convention chose George
Washington as its presiding officer.
Although his voice was seldom heard
thereafter in debate, into the final
product of that Convention. the
American Constitution. was woven
much of the strength and grandeur
of his character
!. Realizing, but undaunted by, the
difficulties ahead, Washington faced
them with a soldiers simple faith
and courage. !.

Advertising Of Canned Salmon

National advertising of Can ned Salmon is leading to consider ably greater interest in Alaska and Alaskan travel, according to L. W. Baker, Traffic Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company
 Housewives re reading salmon advertising in national magazin- eS and recipe articles in these magazines and newspapers more frequently than ever since this advertising started. The roman tic back ground of the salmon has been so widely publicized that most families who have salmon for dinner are quite apt 10 think or talk about Alaska, Baker said.
 ''The increase in retail sales of Canned Salmon which the ad- vertising has brought about is al so increasing the attention given ~G ~Glc.sska by consumers in the Un- tied States.

 The salmon fishing and can- ming operations are among AL aska's most interesting attractions and most tourists want to see something of this activity when they come to Alaska.
 Since the start of this ad- vertising campaign, this industry has also been helping to interest more people in the United Stat es to come to Alaska and see its scenery and unusual activities. Many tourists decide on north ern vacation because they are attracted by articles they have read of the salmon run. The fact that the run occurs at the time most suited for tourists gives it special value as a travel appeal' Baker said.

The rebel school is held in a
