May it mean to you The blue of the sea, the evening sky, The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby; The gold of the early sourdough's dreams, The precious gold of the hills and streams; The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The "Bear"-the "Dipper"-and, shining high, The great North Star with its steady light, Over land and sea a beacon bright. Alaska's flag-to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier. -Marie Drake CCURT TEICH & CO., INC. 2B-H310 SEAL TERRITOR
