TEXANS TAKE OUT EIGHT REINDEER

Eight reindeer from the Golovin are migrated recently by air to Texas. Grady CarotherS of Goldth- waite, Texas, and 14-year-old John spent two weeks in the Colo win area camping on the trial of a Wayward deer which had escaped from their camp. During which time there were thrills galore.
 The Carothers found that roping reindeer was quite different from the steers back home in Texas. One reindeer ran off with the lasso and another stood Carothers on his head.
 The deer were brought to Nome on the MS Kotzebue last Friday and were loaded on the Alaska Air lines plane on Saturday for Gold thWaite, Texas, via Anchorage and Seattle.
 At Seattle, Carothers and son John will join Mrs. CarotherS and a younger son who stopped in Seattle on the trip north.
 MT. CarotherS stated he was go- ing to use the deer for Christmas time entertainment of Texans who have never seen the reindeer
 He stated that the size of Alaska is definitely greater than Texas, and we can't do anything about it., but we can remedy our lack of anything we can import from Alaska.

 A special Fairbanks chamber of commerce committee has been set up to attempt to get government cooperation in providing needed supplies. The committee drew up resolution condemning the strike as "a blow to Alaska'S economy and an impeachment to vital Terri torial defense projects"
 Fairbanks merchants are con- Sidering use of the Alaska high way to bridge the gap. A chamber committee is studyinng the possi- bility of buying goods at Vancou- yer, B. C.. having them shipped to Haines, Alaska, by sea, and overland on the Haines Cutoff and the Alaska highway.

that this is not so, for we live
in an age of competition, and it
is just as cheap to hire the great
men to supply twaddle direct as
it IS to employ foreign paupe,s
to turn it out with the extra ex-
pense of elderly women to re-
wise"
Now, there Hubbard was
wrong. Many important articles
that appeared in print and
even books-were never written
by the person whose name IS
signed to them. Nor did he die
tate the material nor did he do
the research. This habit OF nav
ing competent men do the think
ing for incompetent men with
great regulations has beo .,me so
usual that ghost-writing has
grown into a profession Of large
dimensions and the business Of
public relations, once called
press-agenting, has almost
reached the respectability of
science. In fact, no government
agency, no great business, no
association for the public wei
fare is without such q person
who knows beyond doubt what
the public wants and how to dish
it out.
In the current campaign for
the presidency, the ghost writers
are men of Importance because
they are thinking for the man
who will be President. Obvious
ly, no one human being :sn
prepare all the speeches tfat
Messers. Truman, Dewev and
Wallace will deliver during the
next month and a half. No man
could do that even if re, like
Henry Wallace, had nothing
else to do. He therefore taxes
on assistants"
The question is: Does he lay
down the original line; does ne
turn into his own words what
the assistants" prepare or does
he accept the document and :ead
it with the profundity that the
occasion requires-as though he
had seen it before?
l do not like Mr.. Truman's
ghost and l recommend that ne
hire new one. His is weep
ing, wailing, moaning. crying
ghost who is trying to scare the
country. Someone called the out
put THE Era of Fear Speeches."
but it is worse than that, ne-
cause the fellow is vulgar They
tell me that Sam Rosenman, Mr..
Roosevelt's ghost, is back on the
job. but the Truman speeches.
do not sound like Rosenman
who has gift for the happy
phrase if not the consistent
