Arctic Will Be
 Empire of Future, 5ays pr. Levine

North will be the course of the empire of the future,' according to pr. Victor E. Levine, professor and head of the department of biol ogical chemistry and nutrition at Creighton University, Omaha. Neb., who is here on his tenth trip to Alaska, and now making a com- parative study of the Indian and Eskimo peoples.
 Dr. Levine was the speaker at the Business and Professional Wo- mems Club at its regular meeting on the Baranof Terrace Monday.
 Introduced by BPW president Kate Smith, pr. Levine told the clubwomen that one-Sixth of the world is in the arctic or sub-arctic, that increasing populations w-li. force the increased civilization of Alaska, Canada, Siberia, Greenland.
 With the ver-population of the temperate zone there is no place for people to go. The tropics are enervating and facilitating. The arctic and sub-arctic, mvigorating and stimulating.
 And these northern areas have not been touched. Russia has found a 500,00O square mile area oi coal in Siberia; gold has been found on the Lena river; vast iron de- posits are in Labrador There is coal and oil at Pt. Barrow and the largest tin deposit in the North American continent is at Wales. Other metals found in Alaska are uranium and tungsten.
 Fisheries foods include salmon and codfish; there are reindeer and caribou.
 There is more inspiring beauty in the scenery of Alaska than in all of Switzerland.
 Air routes of the future will be around the polar arc," Dr. Levine predicted.
 He then told how the arctic had made history for two great nations: The establishment of the Hudson Bay Company by the English and the push of the Russians into Si- beria and Alaska for furs aided the finances of both countries at criti- l cal times in their histories and helped to make them great nations.
 pr. Levine mentioned the friend Illness, companionship and spirit of | geniality that makes the arctic and | sub-arctic a real land of the glad | hand.
 There is adventure in the north, | to those who follow sledges, climb | follow the sea, but the | greater adventure is finding the human heart and human touch," Dr. Levine concluded
 Dr. Levine, or It. Col. Levine, if one prefers, for he was with the Army during World War II and stationed in Nome, leaves today for Hoonah and will return to Juneau in about a week.
 Mrs. Louise Houston, an active member of BPW who is leaving for the south later this month, was presented with a bon voyage gift in appreciation of her work for the club.
 Mrs. I. J. Montgomery, whose husband, Dr. Montgomery is in charge of the Merit System, told the club of her work with the Government Hospital and asked for magazines to assist her.
 Future BPW programs will be planned by the committees on h. ternational Relations and on Public Affairs, it was announced by Opal Sharman, program chairman.

Give "A EcEson Some
Flowers while Ee Lives
BY Reverend E. B. Blackman

I want to take this medium to
commend our General Secretary for
her wise leadership. AS the new
year dawns have looked back over
the past year and taken a view Of
her work. l can truthfully say that
she is an ingenious secretary, keep
ing the Association inspired with
something new.
First she carried the local presi-
dents through a school of training in
getting a better knowledge of the
Constitution and Bylaws; hext by
inspiring the AGENTS, and now she has
on an effort to inspire the women
presidents.
She has a broad vision. The Bible
says when there is no vision the peo-
pie will perish. She has food for
thought Every ninety miles days
we travel, she is able to tell us Just
where we are and what we have
done and when we look over the
road we have travelled, we see no
crook and as long as man knows
where he is and what he is doing,
he should be satisfied. Go on, Mat
tie, we are with you.
close with these words:
'Flowers yellow
Flowers blue,
Flowers white and flowers red.
I'd rather have one flower while Pm
living
Than q dozen when I am dead.

Presidents Are Urged 10
Read Their Con- iiutions
AS Much as Possible

4 am exceedingly anxious that
fch oil you study yow constitution
DIS much as you possibly can. Study
IN order that you might have a
KNOWLEDGE of the working of the AS.
ISOLATION. Unless you know the
works and doiings of the Association
1t IS impossible to instruct those who
have a better knowledge of the
things involved than you. It is pa
thetic to see a man attempting to
instruct others when he has not kept
abreast with the law himself.
1t is bit pathetic to see a man
or woman trying to instruct, advise,
and suggest something that he il al
together ignora1s 81. PresiSs1~s,
when you don't know, you just don't
Know, and the only way you will
know is by studying your law and
getting an understanding after stu
dying. If you know what can be
done and what cannot be done, you
don't have to worry: just "sit pat"
The boards are held strictly for
the purpose or paying off our hon
ored dead. Anything other than
this is absolutely secondary. Any
body who attempts to change this
law is working in opposition to the
Association. Some might suggest
this, that, and the other to be done
in the quarterly BOARD meetings,
however, as long as those of US
know what the boards are held for,
we Go not have to worry to become
alarmed over what some individual
might suggest or would like to see
done in these particular boards. This
procedure has not just started. II
has taken this course since the Or
ganization of the Association. II 3

not know.

Bring Policy to Board

The presidents VINO nave deceased
members in their lodges are request
ed to notify the beneficiaries of the
deceased to bring their policies along
with them to the board in order to
make collections. 1t is impossible
for us to pay off any claim until the
policy is in our possession.
All death certificates are to be
properly filled out, notarized and
filed in the office of the H. B. A.
before any claim will be in line for
payment in this board.

Among rural churches, the
Newport Methodist Church erect
ed in 1887, is believed to have
established a financial record
seldom rivaled in this section of
Ohio.
The congregation and friends of
the church are today taking con-
siderable pride in the fact the
church liquidated an Indebtedness
of $4,000 in the last year and a
half.
The indebtedness resulted from
an extensive remodeling project
undertaken by the church some
months ago. The entire interior
of the church was remodeled and
redecorated. In addition the
church was provided with base
ment.

=! OUR
"a TOWN


Another year comes to an
end seems that the years
grow shorter thinking
back it seems that this was
one of the shortest years
ever we made some mis-
takes but we made a lot
of friends, too after it's
all said and done, friends
and good health are the things
that really count -. when
we look back it all seems SO
simple it's looking ahead
that's tough well, maybe
things aren't SO bad after
all hope so anyway
come to think of it 1850 was
a year which was, if nothing
else, eventful never a dull
moment as the saying goes
wonder what 1851 will
hold for all of us oh
we'll, no matter what happens
we can at least say that we
managed to get this far
as long as the gains equal the
losses everything will be al
right not monetary gains
and losses but gains in liv-
ing and losses in friends and
loved ones there is an
awful lot of grief in a life
time . best to look at the
bright side imperative to
do so nothing tastes so
bad as ashes time is the
greatest cure hope is the
shining light of the universe
s. truth is the day by day
means by which we can re-
alize our hopes big words
but doubtless solid so look
to the good things and for
get the bad only look
back for a reason to do bet
ter in the future the past
Is no good if we dwell on the
bad SO thanks for friends
and laughs and good times
the good Lord willing,
we will live to laugh again
and again our sincere
good wishes to you and you
and you may all your
troubles be but midgets !.
may you have happiness and,
above all, may you and
yours enjoy life to its full
est it's a great life if
you don't weaken but, after
all, who wants to be strong
may your town and
OUR TOWN thrive it
has been our purpose to coax
q smile or two we hope
we may have succeeded :.
and lastly but not leastly
like Tiny Tim said !.
God bless us, every one!"
