We have learned ! to tell some of the airplanes when . they fly over town. Marilyn Moody ! FIFTH GRADE Alaska (Continued from last week) When we left Ketchikan our next stop was Juneau, the capital of Alaska. It is in the Panhandle and is the chief mining town in that part of Alaska. Juneau is built on a steep mountain side. The streets are laid one above the other. We had to do a lot of climbing in Juneau. It is a modern mod-ern city for it has electric lights, telephones, good schools, shops and churches. Mining camps buy all their supplies in Juneau. It has a population of almost 4000 people. Silka was the old capital. It is a more beautiful town, but it is of no more importance as a trading place. From Juneau our boat took us to Skagway. This town was very important in the early days because be-cause prospectors went through Skagway to reach the Klondike gold fields. Our next stop was Seward. Sew-ard. We reached Seward through the Cook inlet. It is a small place with a little less than 1500 people, peo-ple, but it has a very good harbor. Here we left our boat for we were ready to go to Fairbanks, in the interior, the next day. It is 500 miles from Seward to Fairbanks. The railroad was built in 1923 by the United States government. We saw many short branches run. ning from this railroad to all the little mining towns nearby. Whip we get to Fairbanks we shall take a plane and try to see some of the interior of Alaska. We'll tell you about our trip next week. Tommy Jefferson FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES Now we are in the war I think we should do our part to help win. We can make our clothes last as long as possible, We can save our grease, our tin cans, and our scrap metal and rubber. Our school is still selling stamps every Friday to help out. The people in our room have brought $3.95 for stamps. The whole : school has bought $186 worth of stamps. If everyone in the school just buys one ten cent stamp each week it will help. s Elizabeth Davidson |
