The Nenana Ice Pool, starting as a community pool in the dull winter of 1917, has developed in- to a big business that reaches all over Alaska and the Yukon Ter ritory and runs now around $100,000 annually.
 The first pool was about $500, limited to Neuana. After a couple years elapsed a mass meeting was called and it was decided to send tickets to Fairbanks and Anchorage. Keen interest was shown, and in 1928 reliable busi- ness establishments were lined up and supplied with tickets.
 Many problems arose. At first a pole was stuck up and frozen in a hole in the ice, which had a connection with a clock high up on the stiff leg on the dock. The pole was uncertain and the stiff leg was used for other purposes, so eventually the present meth cd of a tripod frozen in the ice and three deadmen anchored un- der B inches of solld ice connect

 Tickets are sorted into months, days, hours, in numerical order, then a list is mimeographed and made into books which are sent out for reference purposes.
 In the early years there used to be considerable slack in the wire, raising the question if the line fouIed whether 1t should be loosened or not. To prevent ar- guments, a block and tackle ar rangement was adopted with a heavy weight attached which takes care of the slack.
 Uncle Sam cast coveteous eyes on the prize plum, and although outwardly frowning upon it, ir recent years through nigh income tax has taken the major portion of the winnings.

WHAT IS YOUR
PRICE?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

What is your price?
Ask that of any man, and the
chances are you'll get an indig-
nant answer 4 don't wear a price
tag. I'm not for sale"
But unfortunately too many
people have a price of some sort
They wouldn't take a money bride
- fewer people do than is real
lied. However, they do ask fav-
ors - and return them. They
don't speak out when they should.
for fear of offending someone Of
importance to them. They don't
want to hurt peoples feelings, q"
by telling a bold and unpleasant
truth. They are willing to COM
promise with issues in order to
gain a point. They are warped
by preiudices and swayed by their
likes and dislikes.
The man without price. the
lncorruptible man, is a man above
price. He has an anchor in his
principles. He is not moved by
fear or favor. He stands on truth
as he sees it. and he is strong
in the hour of crisis. HIS is de-
pendable in both small and large
things. His word is good because
it is never given carelessly.
The incorrptible man is not
afraid He will speak out against
evil wherever it exists. But he
will not condemn his fellow men
without due cause and then
never misjudge a group by the
action or opinions of one man. He
holds no unreasoning prejudices.
He treats his fellow men as in
diyiduals and respects their bell
efs as he demands respect for his
own. me only aristoCracy he re-
cognfze is the aristocracy of char
acter, of good thoughts, of good
manners. He neither looks down
at or up to his neighbor. He is
tolerant of yerything except intol-
erance.
Given nation of incorruptible
men and the world could be a
world at peace. The world will
always follow the strong man, and
the incorruptible man has an in
ner strength that is never more
apparent than in the hour of
adversely. He is like the city
founded upon a rock. The incor-
ruptible man is the honor. and
the base, of a good community
or a great nation.
