THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, DEC. 22, 1932 S B 5 N T AGSURED HER THAT 2 THE WHOLE SILLY STORY) | SITKA STATES ITS, CASE FOR PIONEERS' HOME (Continuea mium Page One) to the rigorous extremes of heat and cold in the Interi “The present Home is located in proximity to, and with an un- obstructed view of the Sitka wa- terfront. The Pioneers are there- | fore able to see and attend steam- | ers coming and going, and to ob- serve the hundreds of «fishing boats visiting the harbor almost daily from May to October. A number of the Pioneers have acquired row- boats of their own from which they gather considerable amuse- ment. While the activities of a bysy waterfront may seem com- monplace to a man of affairs, to these Old-Timers it is of absorb- ing entertainment. Site Is Convenient “The locaticn of the Home along tthe main street of Sitka enables| the Pione to visit the stores and busin ouses, and to' min- gle generally with the people of the town. Many of the old men are in such condition that they cannot travel more than a few | blocks. Home was placed in the ts of some other town in the Territory it would mean complete isolation to a large |number of the inmates. The fact |that the ome is only a few blocks [from the moving picture house is| {an advantage that it would be| [difficult to equal anywhere else. The Pioneers are admitted free once a week and are regular at-| endants, some of them ng in | wheel chairs. The Home is within |a block of the Post Office. “It is perhaps trite to dwell up- on the beauty of the natural sur- roundings of Sitka. Neverthless, it the influence of pleasant scenery means something in the life of an " {Old-Timer. | “In addition to the steamers from Seattle making Sitka a reg- ular port of call we have a weekly mail service from Juneau. This permits vouchers drawn to be mail- ed at Sitka on Saturdays and checks to cover being recetved on the following Saturday. Costs of Transportation “The second major factor to censider in the establishment of a permanent Pioneers’ Home is that of economy in operation. Sitka has a $10.00 per ton water rate from Seattle with ample service. The freight differential between Sitka and any point in the interior north of Seward would therefore be between $6.00 per ton and up. As for fare, nearly one-half of the men admitted to the Home come from the First Division. With six or seven per cent added to this for men who come from the Sec- ond Division via Seattle it will be observed that any saving in fare would materially favor Sitka over a location in the Interior. The Home being only a little more than a block from the wharf, per- mits hauling at a minimum cost. “Heat at the present time is supplied hy burning coal. However, as new buildings are erected the SERIES 222 THE NEW Hupmobile 8 IN TRUTH A CAR FOR A NEW AGE!

There a two oil companies at Sitka with | storage tanks adjacent to the Home | grounds from either one of which oil could be pumped direct. “Wages at Sitka are appro: mately twenty-five per cent. le than they are in the Interior. Other Factors Cited “A few years ago a new ceme- tery plot was cleared and leveled at considerable expense to the Ter- ritory including the building of road. This plot will furnish amp! {burial ground for many years come. With almost four hundr Pioneers already buried at Sitka it is contemplated that the Te ritory sometime in the future w be able to erect a single memori to commemorate all the Pioneer: that have passed beyond. This ca best be accomplished if the de: are centered in one place. If the Home is moved it will entail tt cost of establishing new cemete: facilities, and either the remov from Sitka of the Pioneers buri there, or an annual future approp- riation for the upkeep of the Sit- ka cemetery. “A collective advantage that we desire to stress is that it is mow possible for members of the Leg- islature from all four Divisions to visit the Home biennially. If the Home was moved to the In- likely that any c is not of the Legislature from would be able terior it member the First Division to visit it. Answers igico No. 15 “Since Pioneer Igloo No. 15, of Anchorage has placed in the hands of your honorable committee a public document favoring Anchor- age we feel that in fairness to Sitka. a few corrections should be made in connection with their statements. “They argue that the central |location of Anchorage would re- duce the expense of the transpor- tation of Pioneers and add to their travel convenience.

Si he Pion- | eers themselves, including from the Interior, almo: mously expressed their remain in Sitka, this settle the question preference. “The Anchorage comml ve as have othe: , that useful ould be provided and the expense of maintaining the Home material- ly reduced by having a plot of ground. where the Pioneers could do the gardening. The preseni Superintendent of the Home tried out this plan some years ago, and subsequently made a public state- ment to the effect that he found the plan impractical. He stated that the majorly of he Pioneers are not familiar with the pursuit of gardening, and since they aver- age seventy-three ye of age tbn those| unani- | desire to! ought to climatic of oymer By CLIFF STERRETT . 2 - amount of work that any of them can do is negligible. When the Sitka Experiment Station. was closed this Spring it was offered to the Pioneers’ Home, but the Board of Trustees declined appar- antly because they did not believe [ that a farm of garden in connec- tion with the Home would be eith- er profitable or solve any problem of useful employment. Cheaper at Sitka “No doubt local garden truck is available at Anchorage in great- er quantity than at Sitka. How- ever, with cold storage facilities from Seattle it can be obtained as| cheaply at Sitka as at Anchorage. The Superintendent has made a practice of buying garden and dairy products produced locally and n surrounding communities when- ever it is available. “In regard to construction costs it is belieyed that your honorable | committee " will find that on the whole, it is cheaper to build in Southeastern Alaska than in the Interior.” GRETA GARBO ON THE WAY HERE IN?
