'IHE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE. MONDAY, FEB 18 The TOWN DOC >TOR SAYS THERE ARE THOSE WHO'LL SAY, BALONhY ¥ Almost every lionest endeavor to induce people to do svmmflns for thelr community is branded by certain types of individuals as hot air, bunk, hooey and “It's all a lot of baloney.” The fellow who starts whispering, “Tie it outside,” when THINKING residents talk about the value of “boosting” is usually the fellow who goes outside the record regarding the truth when making conversation about him- self. Such people are so engrossed in their own littleness that they cannot grasp the BIGNESS of COLLECTIVE thinking. The greatest rvice anyone can do for his community _is to THINK about it t everyone think a community is GOOD nd it WILL be—nct overnight—not in a mox ith-—nor perhaps even in a year. But THINKING it is good will create and cause ACTION that will gradually and surely MAKE it good. On the other hand, think gour town i3 NO good and it will be just that and nothing different! THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS WILL IMPROVE YOUR CCMMUNITY is not a DUTY—it's BUSINESS; therefore, it fisn't a question of why you should but why SHOULDN'T you be a booster? A booster is one who supports his town enthusiastically—one who gets behind and PUSHES vigorously, consistently and persistently. The other fellow gets in FRONT and leans BACKWARD, or gets in the road making it tough going for the PUSHERS. A booster is an optimist and a joy-maker; he is not a cynic nor a crepe-hanger. A booster cheers; he never jeers, A booster sticks up for hjs community; up at it A booster gives every fellow a “break”; dirt.” A booster says, “I'll do it for the good of the community;” not “What do I get out of it?” A hooster admires success; something crooked about it.” A booster says, “You bet this is a good town;” he never says, “Oh, yes, it's all right if you like it.” A booster is for anything that is good; everything good or bad. A booster is a POSITIVE quantity; minus. A booster pushes ahead and goes AHEAD; a KICKER balks, stands still and never gets anywhere. A booster, instead of saying, “It's all a lot of baloney,” “There may be something in that,” and then thinks about it. You are the one to decide on which side of the fence you are going to be. Choose the side you think is for your own best inter- ests, and then STAND UP for what you THINK. —4“IT’S A LOT OF sneers, or hisses. he never turns his nose he never ‘“dishes the he never infers, “There must be a KICKER objects to a KICKER is a NEGATIVE says, 1929, A.

That the amateur actors pleased was apparent from the fre- quent laughs of the spectatprs Every individual player contribut- ed his best to make the produc- tion a success—not only his best on the big night—but also during the five weeks of rehearsing which To have a try at batching, Ray Walt, Ernest Smith and Joe Wil son have rented one of the Kilburn cottages where they will maintain bachelor’ quarters and enjoy their own home-cooking. - e YOUNG MEN IN HOSPITAL Out of the hospital for just one day, Saturday, after a week’s tus- sel with pleural pneumonia, Lee Johnson returned there Sunday for further treatment. He may un- dergo an operation to relieve the pleyrisy. Joe Wilson entered St. Ann's yes- terday to receive treatment for an injury to his hip joint. — e LIBRARY MEETING There will be a meeting of the Library Association Wednesday af- ternoon, 2 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. C. A. Fox. All interested in the Library are invited to attend. e — QUEEN- IN SUNDAY With a small tonnage of freight preceded it. Outstanding excellence was no- ticeable in the character of Mrs. Baxter, as portrayed by Aile Nie- mi, who played her role with sym- pathetic understanding and in- sight. ‘She made the audience feel her firm, gentle, motherly qualities. Frank Pettygrove, as | Mr. Baxter, was scarcely less good, as the irascible, hasty-tempered, but good-hearted father. Although good, James Doogan did not develop the possibilities in the character of Genesis, the negro servant as much as could be desired, but he got many laughs at that. Jane, the harum-scarum 11-year- old Jane was the delight of the audience—and the bane of her big brother, Willie. Her dirty- STOP! 7 BIG PRIZES MASK BALL MOOSE HALL SATURDAY NIGHT February 23 GIVE N BY Pastime Club Supervuion of H. L. STABLER—A. C. TORVINEN Masks now obtainable at Hellan's Pharmaey and R. P. Nelson’s apple-stained face and messy dress were artistic accompaniments of her part. Marjory Fox was well snited to the role of Lola Pratt, although she might have been more flirtatious and coy than she was, Elizabeth Sey did a good piece of work as May Parcher. Credit is due to Urho Kronquist, Fauno Niemi, and Harry Lundell for skillful interpretation of their parts. The selfish, egotistieal George Cooper was well taken by Angus Galr. Mona Carlson was unusual as the fat girl, Ethel Bake. Last but not least, John Cashen as Willie Baxter was splendid. He put his whole heart and soul into his lines and action. His face gave realistic evidence that -he suffered, and was glad, when Wil- lie_felt that way. His. role was the most difficult by far—and in- terpreted the best. After the curtain was droppsdw on the last act, it was raised again with all the actors on the | stage. Mrs. Engstrom, the di-| rector was called out from the | wings and presented with a love-| Iy picture, by Aili Niemi, presi-| dent of the Junior class, in ap-| preciation of her coaching efforts. | Much credit is due to Mr. Dun-| ham and his manual training class | which constructed the porch set- ting and who handled the shifting of scenery so speedily. William | Cashen and Harry Tassel assist-| ed in the scene changes. Approximately $117 was realized from the matinee and evening per- formance. In addition $13 was netted from the candy sale. How- ever, expenses, including $30 for| the use of the theatre, ran rather high,, so net earnings will be a good deal less. Proceeds from the play will be used to put on the Junior Prom, an ball given by the third year class in the spring. — EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING It pays nave your zippers w | Tanana | Juneau .. | North, and falling rapidly in the Southeast and BEast-Central por- |and the ocean to the southeastward, | mainder of the Territory. | extreme Ncrthern Alaska elaborate | = and boots re-built at Mike| Avolan's.
