"AIaska's Flag" Is Published as Song of the North; Words Are by
 Mrs. Drake, Music Mrs. Dusenbury

published in sheet music form, &C., cording to word received by Mrs. Marie Drake, author of the fam lous poem of the Territory's flag, from Mrs. Ralph Wayne Dusen- bury, who composed the music for 1 the song
 l Publication is by the Clayton P. Sunny Company of Chicago and was arranged by Mrs. Dusenbury ! who tells, in her letter to Mrs. Drake, of the widespread campaign that is being put on by the pub fishers to. establish the song of ! Alaskas Flag.
 Written by Mrs. Drake in 1927 following the adoption by the Leg islature of the design of young Benny Benson, seventh grade na- tive pupil of the Jessie Lee Home, the poem has become known throughout the schools of the Ter ritory, is a proud addition to AL askan libraries and favorite Of tourists seeking Alaskana.
 Set to Music av,a.s- \ Music to accompany the words was written by Mrs. Dusefibury, whose husband Colonel Dusenbury, was formerly in command of Chil- koot Barracks. The Dusenburys left Alaska in 1897 for the Colo nefs present station in Omaha, Neb. It was after she left Alaska that love of the poem and the Ter ritory which had been her home led her to compose music for the haunting words of the poem.
 Into the music has gone my nostalgia for the north,' Mrs. Du- senbury said when she was in AL aska last summer. Tt is longing for Alaska that has brought me back each summer since left the Territory. Mrs. Drake's poem is really a song, and I've tried to give it the music it has meant to me-"
 For the past two years, the song has been used by the orchestras of Alaska Steamship Company ships. Already it has had a wide audience through the middle west, over radio WOW of Omaha, and at lectures and concerts.
 A story of the song has reached the Army and Navy Journal be- cause of the musical composition by Mrs. Dusenbury, and will give it further renown.
 Placed in Territorial Schools
 Through Anthony E. Karnes, Ter ritorial Commissioner of Education, "Alaska's Flag" is being put into all Territorial Schools.
 It was sung over KINY this sum- mer by Lola Mae Alexander, with Mrs. Dusenbury, who is an accom- plished pianist as well as a com poser, playing the accompaniment. The front cover of the song, which will be on sale in Juneau shops soon, will be not unlike the cover of Mrs. Drake's Alaska book let, "Alaskana" with the Alaska flag in color and words of her verse.
 Alaska's Flag s.k Eight stars of gold on field of blue
 Alaska's flag May it mean to you, The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
 The mountain lakes, and the floWrs
 nearby;
 The gold of the early sourdoughs s dreams,
 The precious gold of the hills and {! streams;
 The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
 The "Bear'-the "Dipper" I shining high, The great North Star with irs steady light,
 Over land and sea a beacon bright
 AlaSka's flag-to Alaskans dear,
 The simple flag of a last frontier
