Consoled By Killer Whales

One time Kit-who-geen-see, in d fit of despondency, went down to the beach. As she wept a school of Killer-whales swan by. One of the whales asked her why she Wept Tt is for my children she answered As soon as my sons are old enough to look for a wife my brother kills them so they cannot look upon his wife,
 The whale told her to dry her tears, to wade into the water and pick a small pebble from the bet tom and swallow ii then to take Q drink of sea water.
 Kit-who-geen-see did as e whale told her end in time a child was born to her. She was very hap py over the birtE of. this new son and never dreamed he was not an ordinary child, but was the Raven. She left her brothers house and went north to where she could raise her new born child in safety.
 The child grew. Kit-who-geen-see taught him to use the bow and ar row and soon the boy became so skillful he could shoot down a humming bird in full flight even though the world was still in darkness. He built himself a hunt ing lodge in the woods and spent most of his time there.

The young man immediately killed and skin ned it and. putting the birds 'Kin around his shoulders, found he possessed the power to fly.

Hear Of Light

Next, the young man, who Was the Raven, heard about a rich old chief who possessed light. He al cnce determined to get this light and give it 10 the world. So put t.ng on his bird-skin, he flew to the country where the old ehiel lived.
 The old chief had a daughter whom he loved very much. She was always guarded by saves whose duty it was to test everything she ate or drank and they were always with her The. Raven realized that probably the OnIy way he could ever get possession of light was to be born of this girl. He watched his opportunity and one day as trc girl was drinking from a stream he changed himself into a spruce needle and fell into the stream The girl accidentally swallowed him. In time she had child which, of course, was the Raven The girl, with her Raven child IS the third figure down on the Raven totem. The rich old chief is just below his daughter, the fourth fig ure reading down on the totem.
 The old grandfather-chief came to love his grandson even more than his daughter and gave hun anything he asked for.
 Raven one day asked his grand father for one of the boxes his grandfather kept on shelf in which he knew the stars were kept. Although not liking 10 part with his treasure, the grandfather finally gave the boy-Rayen the box. Raven rolled the bright stars around on the floor until, at an in- stant when his grandfather was not looking, he opened the door and the stars kept rolling until they filled the sky. Later, Raven managed to talk his grandfather cut of the box which contained the noon.

When it looked as though he aao his men were about to suffer de feat, Gush-klin signaled his wife, t'no was watching the battle from a point of vantage with a group or younger men of the tribe held as reserves, and his wife urged the hoys into battle crying, here comes the best of our army!"
 The Niskas were taken by sur prise by the wild, bowling charge and seeing narrow defile, between the mountains, made a run fo1 what they hoped would be safety. But, again Gush-klin had outwit- ted them. The defile was a trap with Nan-yan-yi warriors stationed around a turn in the defile to dis patch each Niska brave with 0 club as he darted around this point.

We-Shakes Declares War


 At last, We-Shakes, the Niska grand ehiei sent word that he was gathering his forces and was com ing northward to settle this haz- ardous and unhappy situation ono. and for all time. Gush-klin, who was then chief of the Nan-yan-yls, was satisfied but as their location on Wrangell Island was not as easily defended as their ancient location on the Stikine, he moYea his people thither, warning other tribes scattered about the river and mainland that they must all join together in the fight.
 ~One day a lone scout and look. out gave the signal that the war party was approaching. Down the like a great, black wave, they could see the war canoes Of the Niskas bearing down upon them led by We-Shakes in his flag ship, the Rect, or Killer-Wha1e. eanoe.

tail pharmacy. Feeling that the
same practices and policies that
had established his own stores as
national leaders would do the
same for independent druggists
on a local scale, Walgreen and
an associate, R.. E. Walker, devel-
oped the Walgreen Agency plan.
Basically, the plan was a pack
aged service to the independent
druggist that gave him the bene-
fits of Walgreen's mass operations
without jeopardizing his indie
pendent status. Under the person
al direction of r. E. Walker, the
plan has given tangible evidence
of its merit through the years.
Pharmacist
A registered pharmacist him
self, C. B. Walgreen, Jr., today
carries forward the family tradi-
ton of leadership in the retail
drug business. AS president of
the Walgreen Drug Co., he con-
tinues to follow and expand the
broad merchandising principles
established by his late father. Al
though, with more than 400 stores
from coast to coast, he is no long,
er able to personally supervise the
delivery of every telephone or
der, his determination that Wal
green Drug stores shall be out
standing in every community is
none the less resolute. That all
Walgreen Agency drug stores
shall have this same opportunity
is a paramount company policy.
The Burnham Walgreen Agency
store, in Moss Point, is the type
that many years of company e
search has shown the public pre-
fers as a shopping center, statis-
tics show, say officials. Conse-
| quently, a vast program is now
underway by Walgreen's to assist
in transforming all agency stores
throughout the nation into mod
ern super drug stores. Structu-
rally these stores are progressive
and combine the engineering i'm
provements of today with pro-
feSsional dignity of the past.

would engage the customer in
friendly conversation. Often as
not, the order would arrive at
its destination before Walgreen
and his customer had terminated
their phone visit.
1t is only logical that a store
with such revolutionary ideas
about service to the customer
should not only succeed but be-
come the cornerstone for a nat
ional empire of such stores as
well, his followers today declare.
Having established leadership
in the retail drug industry for
his own stores, Walgreen next

In the busy Walgreen Laborato-

the magnitude of these opera
