Once again the citizens of Sew
ord are called ui>on to think for
themselves and each person of
voting age lias a duty to perform
at the polls.
We are being called upon to
decide for ourselves and for the
future of the city just what is to
be done about the power situation.
Whether you are in favor of
bonding the city further in revenue
b o n d s, or whether you would
rather trust in the present plant is
an entirely personal opinion, but
every man and woman should de
cide for himself and cast Ins vote
accordingly.
Because the proposed bond issue
is of the revenue type, that is, to
be repaid from the revenue gained
from the sale of power, the vote
is not confined to property owners,
it is open to every man and woman
who is a citizen of the United
States, who can read and write
the English language, who has
lived in the Territory of Alaska for
the period of one year and in the
city of Seward for 30 days, re
gardless of the property lie may
or may not own.
It does not look well when a
city calls for an election on any
thing as important as a bond issue,
if the populace is represented at
the polls by only half or less of its
total number.
There is still one day left in
which to register if you have not
already done so. Let’s get in there
and make our desires known by
means of a vote.
Be a good citizen and cast your
vote on Friday.
The annual picnic of Seward
Nurses Association will be held in
the Service Club of Fort Raymond
Area tonight. The original plans
for an outdoor gathering have been
changed because of the weather.
All nurses and friends expect this
occasion to be a happy and enter
taining evening.
Mayor Eugene N. Lanier spent
the past week with a party of
sportsmen from Cleveland, Ohio,
who flew up here for bear hunting
and fishing. Lanier said his group
had seen some black bears but had ;
been unable to shoot them. The j
Cleveland party of 21 men is ac- [
companied bv George Davis of the
Cleveland Press and a news photo
grapher.
The Blue Shop announces that
Miss Betty Pierce is elected to full
