to qualify throughout his four
college years although competi
tion is on an annual basis.
Selection of the winners, as be
fore, will be entirely in the
hands of the universities with
no restrictions concerning

The continuation of this schol

in honor of the four current
scholarship winners at the Uni
versity of Washington who are:
Dominic LaRusso (senior); Mar
vin Rowe (junior); John M. Det
wyler (sophomore); and Jan
Nerbo (freshman).
In commenting on Standard's
scholarship program, Stretton
said: "these scholarships, un
like other fellowships awarded
by my company in chemical
and engineering fields, were
established for the sole purpose
of assisting students who possess
outstanding leadership qualities
and who might otherwise not be
able to continue their educa
tion.” ‘ The scholarship winners
at the University of Washington
are. in my opinion, the type of
students we had in mind when
this program was established
and the university authorities!
are to be congratulated for their!
selection.”

The
★ ★
There are some of us in Sew
ard who have consistently main
tained that the economic future
of this city is an assured fact.
Others have a more pessimistic
view point, but have continued
to live here just hoping for the
best.
There are always two sides
lo any question, otherwise there
would not be a question, and
if there were not some reason
for argument in Seward, it
would not be Seward.
The most encouraging word
I have heard for many months
concerning the future of the
city was given by Clinton C. '
Staples, Territorial Director of
FIIA, last Friday night.
He stated that one of the
first considerations in the grant-!
ing of guaranteed FIIA loans !
is the economic security and I
future of the community in |
which the application is located !
This is investigated thoroughly)
even before the individual re
sponsibility and credit of the
applicant is considered.
Upon questioning him about I
the rating to be given Seward, j
he stated frankly that in his I
opinion (which is final on this)
subject) there is no reason in I
the world why the economic
future of Seward should be
doubted. “With your bay, and
the completion of your high
way," he said, “there is nothing
to keep you from growing. In
fact. I do not see how you could
be prevented from a continued
development."
“If things should happen,
which have been predicted to
happen," said Staples, “you will
have a year round highway to
the interior, which is the great
est asset any area can have.”
Such a statement coming
from such an authority carries
weight enough to convince me
that we are on the right track
when we continue to boost Sew
ard in every way. and to the
limit.

Laboratory located in Kctchi-J
kan.
In addition to the regular
reports of progress from the |
various bureau chiefs, other
Alaskan development problems
will be aired, Kadow stated.
Included in this latter group j
considerable discussion is ex-|
pected of labd withdrawals and j
of the proposed Alaska Devel->
opment Administration. j
VA Explains How To
Handle Insurance
A four-point reminder which
will assist World War II veter
ans in keeping their National
Service L’ife Insurance in force
with little difficulty has been
issued by the Veterans Admin
istration.
Here are the four points:
1. Checks, money orders and
postal notes sent to the VA in
payment of NSLI premiums
should be made payable to the
Treasurer of the United States
and not to the VA or to an in
dividual or to cash.
2. ChecKs, money orders and
postal notes should be identified
with the name and address of
the veteran, as well as his in
surance number and service
serial number.
3. Veterans shouldn’t take
chances by waiting until near
the end of the 31-day grace per
iod before mailing the VA their
premium payment. By waiting,
they run the risk of allowing
their insurance to lapse.
4. Veterans making premium
payments by mail should use
the premium envelopes furnish
