NEW YORK, May 9 (INS)-
This is a note primarily address,
ed to the editors of American
magazines, weekly, monthly or
quarterly.
Boys, please, do us ordinary A
mericans a favor: Don't print any
more of those articles by our
European or Asiatic friends en-
titled:
"The trouble with you Yanks",
or "Why Americans are so ir-
ritating", or
"America, the adolescent slob."
You're wasting your money,
kids. We Americans know we are
vulgar, crude, unstable, untrust-
worthy, insensitive, b~oastful,
chauvinistic, os%tentatious, uncouth
b~raggarts, money-mad, dollar
grubbers, naive, stupid, crafty, jul
venile, greedy, and viciously de-
termined to force billions on
others at the drop of a hint. l
mean hat.
In addition, we chew gum.
FURTHERMORE are over
sexed in the eyes of the English,
and under-sexed in the eyes of the
French. (Witness that standard
turkey by Mile. Fiji De La Haid,
the cinema ingenue, who, on ar
rival in Hollywood, always says
"Ze American man, he know from
nauthing about making re loft.
All he know about is making re
money!" which is why Fiji came
in the first place.
W. American jerks already
know all these things and long
since threw ourselves on the
jury. Our friendly critics abroad
have been spelling out our faults
for us for some 200 years now,
and we are so beat down, there's
no fight left in us.
Editors have been buying this
same article, warmed over, hashed
up and under a varying by-line,
for decades. We threw in the
sponge and pleaded guilty long
ago. Amt you heard?

Three Valley Airmen Here on First Leave
 From Eimendorf AFB

Among young men of the Val ley who have recently joined the Armed Forces is Virgil Meehan, son of MT. and Mrs. John Black. He was inducted January 5 in the Air Force and is now at Elmen- dorf Air Force Base assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, 39th Air Depot Wing.
 Virgil has lived most of his life in the Valley as his family was one of the original Colonists who came here in 1885. He at- tended school here and prior to joining the Air Force was en- ployed by the Alaska Road Com mission.
 Other young men here who also joined the Air Force on January 5 include John Gore and John Radcliffe. All three returned to the Valley last week end on their first leave since their induction. They also are assigned to the same outfit at Elmendorf AFB and are awaiting orders to go Outside for basic training. They hope to go to Lackland AFB at San Antonio, Texas.

Paving of Highway Is, the Skeena River Highway between Prince Rupert and Prince George, B. C., is expected to begin early in the 1851 working season, the Alaska Development Board has been advised. According to the British Columbia Department of Public Works, hard surfacing crews will work east from Prince Rupert.
 Increases in traffic to and from Alaska over Highway 16 were re- corded during 1850. It is believed that paving the road will further increase traffic and speed de- velopment plans for a car-ferry service between the Canadian port and Haines, the Development Board said.

A Poem
By Robert Klem Longtime Valley Resident

Longtime Valley Resident A good high wind and 40 below Has made the damn mosquitoes
 go. They got so cold they couldn't
 sing. I hope they don't come back till
 Spring. When the Skeeters come the ice
 worms hide For they bite big hunks right out
 their side. But now they're gone, the dratted
 pests. The ice worms now come out to
 nest. We dearly love this fine, deep
 snow. It helps the little ice worm grow So purple blue with feeble light It makes the snow all blue at
 night. So let the little ice worms glow. They're happy when the skeeters
 go. Now all is purple, all is bright, For we can't stand mosquito bites. The skys are now all clear of
 pests, Now we can see the mountains
 best. So happy now that l would fain To see the ice worms nest again. CoffeY Insures Everything!

AIusku's First Hurvurd Club Formed;
 Gov: Cruening Named as President -

The northernmoSt Harvard Club in the world was founded recently in the Anchorage area. Alaska's Governor Ernest Gruen- ing was named its first president.
 At breakfast meeting held in the Officers Club, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Anchorage citizens, Army and Air Force personnel, all former Harvard students, gathered to form Alaska's first Harvard Club, and at the same time the most northern organiza- ton of its kind. The new group will call itself the 61st Parallel Harvard Club in honor of its loca- ton at Anchorage, and indicated that the clubs first official act would be to inform James B. Con- ant, President of Harvard Univer- sity, as we'll as the Director of the Associated Harvard Clubs of the new organization.
 Governor Gruening, who was graduated from Harvard in 1907, was named first president of the group by exclamation. Other of ficers elected were It. Col. Ste phen C. Monroe, chief of informa- tion, U. s. Army, Alaska, as vice president, and Elmer E. Rasmu- son of the National Bank of Alas ka as secretary treasurer. Col. Monroe graduated from Harvard in 1884 and MT. Rasmuson in 1880.
 Major Joseph M. Hartley, II, former Harvard football player and now Army special services officer, was named club poet.
 The first order of business for the new group will be to contact all Harvard alumni and former students in the Territory and in- vite them to attend future meet ings. Governor Gruening issued a blanket invitation to all those individuals, citizens and military, to make their whereabouts known to MT. Rasmussen in care of the National Bank of Alaska.
 The club adopted resolution favoring statehood for Alaska, and Governor Gruening indicated that copies would be sent to liar ward graduates who are current ly members of Congress.
 Although no definite date was set for the next meeting it was agreed that the club would con- vene in the future as required or desired by the majority of the members.
 Those who attended the first meeting included Governor Gruening, Barrie White of An chorage, It. Col. Charles Kuna, U. s. Army, Major Hartley, It. Col. James w. Clark, U. S. Air Force, MT. Rasmuson, It. Col. Monroe, and Major Frank A. Gleason, U. s. Army.
