The biggest ttibers are the Thlingit, the Haida and the Tsirnpshean, When you go westward along .the coast to the Aleutian Islands, you find the tribe for whom the islands were named—the Aleuts, In the river valleys of the interior there are other tribes of whom the Athaspaseans are perhaps the best-known, Not until you go far north, past the" great mountains of the interior, do, you find Eskimos, In northern Alaska. there are no mountains, but only a flat country covered with moss and tiny, stunted trees or bushes. This is called tundra.

There are just two points that they over- look. The first is that the giving of liquor •to minors is forbidden by the Juvenile Delinquency Act, which re- !garde as an offence against the law anything that might Contribute to the delinquency of youth. The second is that the beverage rooms prbvided by the Ontario liquor license act arc more of a menace to young people than anything the Canada Temper- ance Act does or omits to do. The Canada Teriepotance Act together with the criminal 'code and the Juven- ile delinquency act furnish a large measure of protection agahiat the evil Of liquer.—Advt, Evening Auxiliary Mrs. Cliff Walsh presided the regu- lar meeting of the Evening Auxiliary, opening with a hymn and the Lord's Prayer in unison.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TIRED Though most people are tired—oe- ,casionally, or frequently, or all the time--no one in good health ever:need .be. This simple truth, says Marie Beynon Ray, in the July Reader's Di- gest, is so 'little understood that those fortunate people who are never tired are considered abnormal. The con- trary is true; it is normal not to he tired. There is energy enough in m Est of us to keep us going at ten .speed for a lifetime. We have only to .set it free. Miss Ray's article fairly bristles with little-known facts of fatigue. For instance, .mental overwork never tires you, she says. Physical effort :s some- thing else; your lost energy is re- stored by food and a night's sleep. But if you're tired from a "hard" day at the office, even a six-months rest won't help you. The cause ,ef ,your fatigue isn't overwork. It's horedom with your job, or worry, or a sense of inferiority—the little daily fears are undermining your morale. The ,cure? Not a vacation. More work—but work of the right kind. Get a job that interests you --and in- stead of looking forward to clesin,s time you'll want to work 12 hours ,a day. If your job is routine, and you can't leave it for another, try to find interests outside. Busy, interested people are never tired, Bored people are. Boredom, in fact, is a prime cause of fatigue. If you think botedcm crea't make your feet drag and your back ache, you're wrong. Boredom with housework, husbands and .pothers-in- law has led to all manner of pnyeical ailments in women as records in any psychiatrist's files can testify, EU TURE -CHOPIN ? Alaska mosquitoes. are so big they,: don't worry about citronella, NeVer son Bill, "That Was a .huge one, These • other mosquito and grinned at his: ReScUeFPQM 'The Sky -40I" Johnson ealaPifed arte mind I When we get this brush cleared away, and the field plowed, there won't be so many places for them to Hill Johnson was eleven years He was helping his father pile up brush from the field they were clear- ing. The work was hard, but it was fun to set fire to the brush piles when they were high enough. Hill pulled off his heavy canvas work gloves and mopped his face. It was hot, He chuckled to himself, "What's the joke?" his father ask- ed throwing a bunch of brambles on the brush pile. 4 "I was just thinking," Bill said, "that the kids back home would never believe me if I told them that the biggest wild animals I've seen in , Alaska weren't polar bears but mos- quitoes, and that sometimes it's so hot it reminds me of the Fourth of July in the States," "They're not the only ones who !wouldn't believe you," Mr. Johnson 'said. "But let's stop working for a while, I think we've earned a fifteen- minute layoff, and a little look at that package of cookies Mother fixed for us. We'll go over to the spring," Bill was glad enough to stop work, He got some spring water for drink- ing while his father opened the pack- I age of cookies, They kept on smacking mosquitoes ,as they rested, but the cookies and the cold spring water made up for ithe discomfort. "I can think of a lot l of grown people back home who don't know much about Alaska either," I Mr. Johnson went on, "They think it's all Eskimos and icebergs. I pro- mised the editor of our home paper that I'd write and tell him something about Alaska. Let's talk, about what I ought to tell him." A LETTER FROM ALASKA It took all of their fifteen-minute rest and a good deal of talk at dinner that night and the next day to decide the things that ought to go into that letter. Mr. Johnson had pamphlets from the gorvernment and books that he had bought—all about Alaska. The family read and talked a good deal about their new home before writing to the paper about it. The Johnsons, all. three of them, were people who enjoyed new adven- tures. They liked outdoor life and had no use for city office jobs. That was why they had left the U. States mainland a few months earlier, taken up some land in Alaska, and were undertaking to make a farm. Now they wanted to tell their friends about it. The letter was finally written and ready to "And when that letter comes out in the paper, our friends back home will know a lot more about Alaska than they did before!" said Bill. SOME FACTS ABOUT ALASKA into the letter. The name "Alaska" means "The Great Land," Alaska was first ex- plored by Russians, back in the 18th century, at about the time that Amer- , leans were fighting the Revolutionary War. The fur trade was valuable and Iso was the timber. But Alaska was so far away from Russia that for many reasons the Russian government de- cided to ask the United States if they I wished to buy it. In spite of criticism, our Secretary of State at that time, William Seward, bought it in 1867 for ' $7,000,000. "Seward's Folly" people called it.

In 1947 the Palermos or- ganized Youth for Christ in Italy; in 1948 they brought delegates from Italy to the First World Congress on Evan- gelism at Beatenberg, Switzerland, and travelled widely in Italy follow- ing that Congress in the interest of Youth for Christ. In 19a0 they went from the Third World Congress on Evangelism at Brussels, Belgium once again to preach the Gospel in Italy. Opposition has become increasingly strong,, but the work of Italy Youth for Christ continues. They spent some time in Trieste with the Amer- ican troops there, and led many to a personal faith in Jesus Christ Since joining the Youth for Christ International staff in 1947 the Pal- ermos have endeared themselves to Youth for Christ and church audi- ences everywhere with their ever- ready smiles, spirited Gospel music, and Gospel messages.
