Morgan Parry brought this to the
attention of the Post through the
citing of numerous other memoir
ials being erected throughout the
Nation by other Posts. A commit
tee was appointed to investigate
the memorials and make their re-
port back to the Post at a later
date. The House Committee made
its report through Chairman Grant
G. Garis to the effect that the en-
tire listing of the loss of Post prop
erty had not been completed fol-
lowing the fire of Christmas Night,
but Comrade Garis did express the
opinion that the loss would run in
the excess of $500. Commander
Kenworthy made the Post a report
on the receiving of a picture from
the Merci Train of France. This
picture, an etched-on-glass crea-
ton depicting Marshall Foche of
France is a handmade work of
art, and is now on display in the
window of Jones' Drug Store in
Smyrna. The next meeting of the
Post will be held on March 18th in
the cafeteria of the Smyrna School
at which time the bids for the new
ambulance will definitely be opened
and many other matters acted

The G.adG Roe9e4

politan, Henry Bemelmans tells of why March is his favorite month. Winter is breaking up, streets washed clean of snow, trees bud ding and crocusus blooming in sheltered yards. Income tax over, dentist sessions behind him and only the pleasant things of the year ahead, such as the annual trip to Paris
 Of course MT. Bemelmans is speaking of New York. Let's bring this famous world traveller to Alas ka to see how the other half lives.
 I was disgruntled with his arti- cle and somewhat envious, it's true that there are so many of our people who can just run off to Paris or Hawaii or what have you whenever the notion strikes them
 Then I got my thinking straight ened out. I peered thru the snow toward my favorite mountains and could not see them, but I knew they were there, and that they were shedding their winter coats, however slow the process.
 The bay was hidden in the storm but I saw the Chief Washable head out into it sturdily as if the sun were shining. The streets were ankle deep in slush and the rain was beating in under my front door
 Then I recalled the sunshine last week-a whole glorious week of it. There were no crocusus but the pussy willows are out along the creeks.
 I looked again at BemelmanS' article and his trip to Paris, and told myself that I wouldn't go to Paris anyhow, if I were offered the chance this minute, but thank God this is still a free country and people who want to can go when and where they please without the permission of any bureau. We can start out for Paris or kenai with out police projections; we can speak to our neighbors and criti- cize our president or hte mayor without fear of concentration camps.
 Thank God also for fearless and sturdy people who are willing to put up with cold and backward weather at the top of the world in order to make home for the gen. erations to come. We are still pio- neers in Seward and the rest of Alaska. Some day we will be proud of the fact that we lived here when it was still territory and our great-grandchildren will have something to brag about. We are not quitters, and neither the weather. politics nor empty pocket books can make us give up.
 I think Mir. Bemelmans was whistling in the. dark I am not, and I should like to ask him that instead of his plan to cut and run to the beauties of Paris, he might travel to Alaska and learn how to take it on the chin. then he would really have something to write home about.
 These observations may be the result of either sour grapes or spring fever maybe little of both, but when one takes prob lem apart it quite often resolves itself and becomes nothing. There fore, don't agree with Bemelmans about the beauties of March, but April! Oh, April in Alaska! And May, June and July! Let's go on and say Alaska any time.

Long Pass-Run Play
Late in Game Beats
Rose Bowl Champs
By the Associofsd Press

IOWA CITY. Iowa, Oct. o.
Iowa toppled Northwestern, the
Rose Bowl champion, 1921 today
in a sizzling Western Conference
, football duel that kept 1882 fans
in a constant dither.
The payoff punch in this ter
rife offensive battle was 63-
yard pass-run play. It came with
stunning effectiveness against
Northwestern team that had
fought to a 21-all tie early in the
fourth quarter.
Iowa had possession on its 81
when Sophomore Quarterback
Fred Ruck dropped back and shot
a long pass that Jack Dittmer.
Iowa's acrobatic end, tucked in on
the Northwestern Is. Two Wild
cats were only a half step behind
but that scant head start was
enough. Dittmer was away for
the deciding touchdown.
Pass Intercepted.
Bill Reichart kicked his fourth
straight extra point and his 14th
in a row for 1921 count.
Northwestern, pounding and
passing, ripped again at the Iowa
defense but the Wildcat hopes
flicked out for good with slightly
more than minute left on Duane
Brandt's pass interception in the
end zone.
At the end it was Iowa racing
again on Jerry Faske's 48-yard
dash to the Northwestern 80.
He's From Brooklyn.
Chunky Jerry. jolting 189-
pound halfback from Brooklyn,
N. Y, was top man in Iowa's Of
fensive with 1873. yards by rush
ing in 20 carries, including a tie
breaking 16 yard touchdown run
in the third period.
Faske, left handler, also chip
ped in on the Iowa passing. On
the second play of the second
quarter, on handoff from Glen
Drain, Faske dashed to his right
and hurled from the 16 to Bob
Mckenzie on the two. Mckenzie
stepped over for the first touch
down.
The victory put Iowa in second
place in the Big Ten race with
three victories and one defeat. It
was Northwestern's second loss in
