Merchants Basketball Uniforms
Stolen from NVC Mans Auto

When the South End Merchants
sponsored their New Years Eve
dance last Dec. 81 in the Buddhist
auditorium, little did they realize
that they were waltzing and fox
trotting to the tune of a 500 loss
in basketball uniforms.
The Merchants ten white tops,
twelve gold tops and eleven blue
trunks we're stolen that night from
an automobile belonging to a Nisei
Veterans Committee member who
had the responsibility of sending
the uniforms, used by the Seattle
NVC All-Stars in the all-Oriental
cagefest, to the cleaners.

Down the River of Golden Dreams

When We were the vigorous young man who
gawked and gasped for air while in the grips Of
enchanting diversions presented by Chicago
that big bag of hot air in the Midwest-we were
very much devoted to the song, "Down the Ri
yer of Golden Dreams For "Down the River
of Golden Dreams was popular number in
cheap taxi dance halls on Clark and Wabash, to
name two sites, where we spent much OF our
torrid night life smoking drinking, and, in gen
eral, making damn fool out of ourself before
Lady Esther-ed girls whose simple thoughts
wandered no farther than in the "Ten cents,
short dance tickets and the patrons bullying
pocletbooks
Chicago and her taxi dance halls, however,
are no more, as far as we are concerned, but the
sweet melodies of ''Down the River of Golden
Dreams cling to us in our sentimental moments.
~ We feel strongly that "Down the River OF
Golden Dreams" is in spirit with our observing
the passing of another year, 1947, that is.
The sports events occurring in 1947, like our
rendezvous along taxi dance lane, will drift with
the night into the lonely sea of hereafter, to be
forgotten for good-at least, until such per-
iod studious historian or stupid sports scribe
like us decides to buckle down to jot down metl-
culousy the happenings of the past.
And we did and we're glad we've finished!

Inquiry on Lack Of Funds
For Strepfomycin Asked

The Petworth Citizens Associa-
tion last night asked the District
tuberculosis Association to investi-
gate the reported lack of funds to
provide streptomycin to tubercu-
losis patients in two local hospitals.
John S. Hamil, treasurer, intro
duced the motion, which also asked
that the tuberculosis association call
for Federal aid or start a drive for
funds to relieve this situation.
He referred to recent reports that
Glenn Dale Sanatorium and Gal
linger Hospital, the city's two chief
tuberculosis centers, are totally de-
pendent on private contributions for
their supplies of the drug.
The association indorsed the
Aucnincloss Home Rule bill in pr1n-
ciple and authorized Harvey o. Cra-
yer, president, to appoint members
to appear at home rule hearings to
advocate passage of the bill
The group also supported the Red
Cross. the Mile O. Dimes and the
Police Boys Club.
The meeting was held in the Pet
worth Library, Georgia avenue and

Pober on Left Ericsson Recalls
Gruesome Ak Murder Story

The saga of Left Ericsson was given
a gruesome sidelight last night at
the meeting of the Columbia His
torical Society.
Col. Francis Scott Key Smith,
who wrote a biography OF his great
grandfather, Francis Scott Key,
read a paper on the Norseman.
Col. Key-Smith told the story of
Left as recounted by B. F. Costa
in volume published in 1868, and
in Scribner's History of the United
States by William Cullen Bryant,
Sidney Howard Gay and Noah
Brooks 1884 edition..
He also told the story of Leif's
illegitimate. sister Freydis, who
never accepted Christianity, and
who, unshrived of original sin,
pulled off the first white ak murders
on the American continent.
Inspired Murders.
Freydis, the story goes, falsely
told her husband during the Arneri-
can sojourn of the voyage of 1011
AID. that her brother, Finboge, had
abused her shamefully. Her hus-
band and his men went to the
houses of Finboge and his followers
and fell upon them while they were
sleeping and murdered them all.
But they did not touch the women.
There were five of them.
"'Give me an AK shrieked Frey
dis" Col. Key-Smith recounted.
THE ak was given her and she
fell upon the five women and she
did not stop until they were all
dead"
At the conclusion of the paper,

spoke about the monument to Lett

lieved to be of Morse origin but
which historians have since found
to be a mill erected by the father
of Benedict Arnold.

No Heart Disease
Among inhabitants
OF AIeuiian Islands

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. Or
Inhabitants of the Aleutian Is
lands enjoy almost complete free
dom" from heart diseases, a Har-
ward expedition to the North Pa
cific Islands disclosed today.
The expedition, under the direc-
t on of Harvard's Peabody Museum
spent last summer in the sub-Arctie
area studying the habits, history
and health OF the Aleuts. Mongoloid
: inhabitants of the barren islands
stretching between North America
and Asa.
The expeditions findings were
announced in a report by the Pea
tody Museum.
Taking part in the unusual scien-
tific study were anthropologists.
orthcdontists, cardiologists e h n
olog SITS. archeologi4s and linguists.
DR.. Fred Alexander, cardiologist, at
Massachusetts General Hospital ex-
iamined 1872 of the less than 1000
natives He said they were found to
be almost completely free from
heart disease but that infectious
diseases, tuberculosis and venereal
disease, were taking great toll Of
life
Dr. Alexander said there is a
possibility that diet may be large
ly responsible for the absence of
heart disease in the older Aleuts. =
Those findings, reported the ex-
petition leaders, have led scientists
ito wonder If fish and meat, the
main foods. may be partially re-
sponsitle for the small amount OF
heart trouble found"
The dentist ON the trip, DR.. Coen-
Rad Moorrees of Forsyth Dental
Infiimary, said he found the Aleuts
"a very rich field for dental re-
search
DR. Moorrees said examinations o,
the teeth OF early Aleuts reveal
that tooth decay did not become
evident until the 18th century when
Russian fur-traders brought in
flour. sugar, and other starch foods.

SURVEYS SALVAGE
RAILROAD BARGE;
CHANCES ARE Slim

Captain Martin Guchee of the
Ocean Tow Co, was pessimistic
today about chances of salvaging
either the cargo or the craft, fol-
lowing 10 days Of surveying sal
wage opertions on the Alaska Rail-
road barge on the rocks near Cape
Spencer.
Captain Guchee, representing the
operators of the tug, Christine
Fcss, which was towing the barge
load of relief supplies bound for
Whittier, is in Juneau enroute to
return to Seattle.
The RR barge, with an estimat-
ed S700,0G0 in cargo aboard, is
lodged between rocks some rs feet
from a rugged, high-cliffed shore,
Captain Guchee explained The
high water mark covers the two
forward matches, and there has
been every indication that these
compartments are flooded, he said
Boxes from the cargo have floated
to the surface from the pressure
Of ground swells and sea gulls
swarm over the area night and day.
The forward hull of the barge
smashed onto large rocks has been
settling steadily. Guchee said. He
estimated about four feet in the
past 10 days.
Attempts have been made TO do
some welding on the forward bulk
head, he said. but suction from the
swells has literally blown the weld
ing equipment out of the hands
of the workmen.
Cliffs some go feet high rise out
of the rocky cove where the
barge is grounded, according to
the Captain.
Directing salvage operations has
been Orville Sund OF the Foss
Launch and Tug Co. Tacoma,
who is also in Juneau enroute to
return to the West Coast
The Teton, Ocean Tow Co. tug,
enroute to Whittier with two
barges in tow, was dispatched to
go on to the Westward after be-
ing detained at the salvaging scene
for several days. The Christine
Foss is standing by.

suit OF an investigation by Federal
authorities OF wrecked troller 40
miles north of here.
The body of an unidentified wom-
an was found floating in the water

However, officers said her dea =
apparently had no connection with
the boat mishap. They said the
woman, about -, had been in the
water long time
The troller was registered to Tom
Ronning, well known Juneau fish
erman. He was presumably lost.

terry was turned over to the Coast
