BUT HES LD ALwAYS W HIS DOUGLAS NEWS EXPLAINED BY |Interesting Address Made | at Douglas Parent- Teacher Meeting “Petroglyphs of Alaska,” was the interesting subject chosen by the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff for his talk last night before the Douglas P.- T. A, Primitive man, according to Rev. Kashevaroff, always strove to leave marks of his life and past history. These marks are found on boulders and trees as far north as Kodiak, Alaska. Not only are exactly the same marks found in Alaska but also in almost every state, South America, Mexico, and Europe. Rev. Kashevaroff stated that much remains to be learned about these marks and not even their purpose is entirely clear. To one familiar with Indian legends, the marks carry a story. Concertric circles, found everywhere, mean the sun, which is the most useful planet we have. “One circle stands for an eye,” continued Rev. Kashevaroff, “and dicates that living things may be found i To tfiofiughl 'y bake a hundred-pound fish would be a Wi/ § of a job You'n be much more successful baking a three-pound fish.
