YOU ARE AS YOUNG AS YOUR FAITH!

An old proverb states that
you are as young as you think
you are. / believe it should say
you are as young as your faith.
Cen. Douglas Macarthur, on
his seventy-fifth birthday, had
this to say about youth. Youth
is not entirely a time of life
It is a state Of mind. Nobody
grows old by merely living a
number Of years, but by desert
ing his ideals.
You are as young as your
faith, as old as your doubts;
as young as your self-confi-
dence, as old as your fear; as
young as your. hope, as old as
your despair.
In the central place of every
heart there is a recording cham
Der; so long as it receives the
message of beauty, hope, cheer
and courage, 50 long is that per-
son young. When the wires are
all down and the heart is COW
cred with the snow of pessimism
and the ice Of cynicism, then,
and only then, is a person old"
When / was growing up my
mother said to me. Oral, be
young while you are young, for
whatever you are in youth, you
are as you grow older" She
meant that preparation for
growing older begins in youth.
In fact, the Bible says, RE-
member now thy Creator in the
days Of thy youth" IF we re-
member God when we are
young, He will be near us when
we are older.
Since we live with our minds,
actually, our eyes can see only
what our minds see. Our ears

hear what OH minds hear. IF
we are young in mind and spirit
and see and hear wonderful
things in our minds, then that !.
what our eyes see and our ear
hear. So we must be careful
what we think and believe. We
become what our believing is.
Our being young in mind keeps
ours bodies vigorous.
The Bible states that VIC a'c
to become like little childrc.,
What is the secret of a child's
strength / believe that it is en-

The only way, then, that v.s

ing out into Gods wonderful
world to see what the day las
in store for us. With that atti
tude we become like little CHI
dren. But we must remember
that the Bible teaches us to be-
come childlike. not childish.
AS we grow older, we must
keep Christ in our hearts. We
must believe in Cod. We must
rejoice over our many blessings
and let the morning sun shine
in our faces and the angels sing
in our souls. We must ren;em.

Of faith in God.
We are as young as our faith.

expense-YOURS AND MINE.
In the past year more than
$4,000 of our money has gone to
sustain this smear sheet. / feel
that it is time that the taxpayers
of these islands demand an ac-
counting on this matter.
Tonight I have chosen to speak
with a full awareness of my posi-
ton.
On Friday of last week, July 6,
1862, after making my position
on legislative reapportionment UNI
mistakably clear to the Governor,
/ wrote to him stating I knew he
under tremendous pressure be-
cause of the position taken by me
on reapportionment and offered
to resign.
Finally, may I say this-the
smear campaigns and the petty
personal attacks are unimportant.
They are used by the opposition
merely as a smoke screen to o
fuse the people and to hide the
important issues at hand.

After all, Abraham Lincoln was
one of the most villified of all
men. Almost from the moment
the Great Emancipation entered
the White House he was cruelty
caricatured by his opponents as
an ape. Mr.. Lincoln, when asked
about these personal attacks, had
this to say-and I would like to
commend it to you this evening:
IF the end brings me out right,
what is said against me won't
amount to anything. If the end
brings me out wrong, 10 angels

Thank you and good evening.

Anchorage May Decide Bradley Issue
Cabbage Sirays;;
 Airline Pays

Fifty-six pounds is a lot of cabbage, and it's pretty specta- cular when it's all amassed in one head. Still, attention-get- ting or not, what can you do with a maverick concentration of cole-slaw makings? That's the question that was plagu- ing the Northwest Orient Air lines staff in Chicago this week, as they helplessly view ed a mammoth cabbage, grown (you guessed it) by John Bush, Matanuska Valley vegetables farmer.
 Seems it's been ar annual custom to ship one of Bush's prize-winning soleracea capitata (yup, cabbage) to the Sauer- .kraut Festival at Valley, Illi- nois. Only this year the festi- val was discontinued, and word didn't reach the proper sour ces in time. The whopping vegetable was picked up by Perry McLain of Anchorage, and sent on its airborn way.
 Wonder if the Northwest Or tent Airlines are featuring corned beef and cabbage on their menus this week.

 "Alaska's dairymen have many problems, and I would rate the need for marketing improvements first on the list, " Wilson said. "The Alaska Dairy Association program can be of tremendous help in t h s re- spect. The national program sponsors advertising and pro- grams on a national scope, such as TV network programs, mag azine advertising and newspa- per mat services. The sta e program is designed to put these into use on the local lev el and. to carry on such local promotion as it may see fit."
 The. American Dairy Associa- tion, both at state and national levels, is supported by contri- buttons from producers a n d processors on the basis of vol ume and is a purely voluntary effort, Wilson said.

000,. LaZelle estimated, with an approximate cost of i10.7 mills per kilowatt hour delivered in the Anchorage area.
 On the other hand, a mine mouth coai-fired steam plant at Sutton could produce com parable generation with a con- struction cost of about $20,- 000,000, and with only 60 miles of transmission line involved. Power could be delivered in the Anchorage area from such a plant at an estimated 8.8 mills. per kiloWatt hour, he stated.
 A very unusual situation ex- ists in this sections of Alaska, LaZelle pointed out. It is one of the very few areas in.which coal, gas, and water resources are all available, and without d sufficient market to use them all, competition from suppliers is very keen.

WIRES, LETTERS URGED TO SAVE COAL INDUSTRY

Faced with fhe possibility of the loss of the coal industry 10 the Matanuska Valley. the local Chamber of Commerce is urging all local residents 10 write or wire members of our Congressional delegation. the chairman of the public works committee. or senators from your home state who will be voting on the omnibus rivers and harbors. bill when if reaches the floor of the Sem ate.
 Included in the bill is a provision for the construction of Bradley Lake Dam. a hY- droelectric project on the Kenai peninsula. Ii is felt To- callY that construction of the dam would kill all possibil- itY of construction of a steam plant at Sutton. and might mean the death of the local coal industry.
 Wires or letters may be ad- dressed to Senator Dennis Chavez. chairman of the pulp lie works committee. at Room 4202. New Senate Office Building. Washington 2s. D.

Anchorage is the key area that can decide the Bradley Lake issue, Matanuska Valley Chamber. of Commerce mem bers and guests were told at yesterdays luncheon meeting by Mason L.aZelle, Matanuska Electric Association. manager.
 '' It is almost a certainty. that if the Bradley Lake dam is built. no REA money will be available for coal-fired steam plants in this area" he said.
 A small but vocal group on the Kenai peninsula is pushing the Bradley project, while ob- iections to construction of the dam from Matanuska Valley residents are colored by the. fact that this is a coal-produc-' ing area that would benfit from the construction of steam plants, LaZelle continued.
 Thus far the Anchorage Chamber. of Comemrce has re- fused to take a stand, an atti- tude reflected by the people of Anchorage, who are either not aware of the. controversy or who feel that they are not di- rectly affected by the outcome, the MEA manager pointed out.
 The Bradley Lake hydro electric project is included in an omnibus rivers and .harbors bill now under consideration in the United States Senate. The public Works committee has already held a hearing with representatives of the Corps o. Engineers, LaZelle stated. Once approved by committee, thu bill will reach the floor of thu Senate, and will almost surel, be voted upon in this sessior he added, emphasizing that tn possibility of passage is height ened by the fact that the bil contains numerous pet project. of many members of the Sen. ate, and that porkbarrel legis' llation is popular in an election year.
 The Bradley Lake report, i done several years ago, is a sketchy one that does not in- clude transmission in the quot ted cost of $47, 100000, he said. Construction of transmission line over 180 miles of rugged Kenai peninsula terrain to the Anchorage area would push construction costs to $58, ,0OO,-
