Warning to Alaska
Last Saturday, during the open house for the Durham Building, J.
Frank Durham received a congratulatory telephone call from his
friend and schoolmate, V. Maurice Smith, at Alaska. He is the co-
owner and Editor of Jessen's Weekly at Fairbanks, and also
newscaster for a local radio station. Frank alerted his friend to
the possible invasion of Alaska by Mr. Stoner and his "farmer's
game," or improvements thereof. He advised his friend to keep his
eyes "off that air-conditioned Cadillac and on the driver
himself, as he is by far the more dangerous of the two."
SOMETHING ON THE CARPET
July 20, 1954
Dear Footser:
. . . Which reminds me of your Uncle Charlie Bridges. He was a
Deacon or whoever it is who gets to pass the plate at the
Presbyterian Church for the collection.
The event happened during the First World War. The church needed
a new carpet. Mr. Raphael, the Pastor, extended himself in the
sermon about giving for the proposed new carpet. He extolled the
brethren and sistern to "Give, give until it hurts. If you do not
have the cash, just sign a piece of paper setting out the amount
you will give toward the new carpet, put it in the collection
box.
