By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Information contained in three
lines buried in the middle of a
long article in the Anchorage
Times is the only information
released in Seward to the effect
that the Alaska Aeronautics
and Communications Commis
sion has authorized the comple
tion of the Seward airport this
year. Mayor Eugene N. Lanier
is in Anchorage now and he may
return with more information on
this important matter—we hope
so.
Another small item in the
same newspaper informs us that
the highway from Russian River
to Homer is on the list for com
pletion by 1951. Nothing is said
anywhere, so far as I have been
able to discover, about repairing
the ridiculous road between
Seward and Russian River. It
looks as though we are to con
tinue in our unhappy role as
stepchild.
But don t let us be discour
aged. If we make Seward the
most attractive community in
Western Alaska, all other things
will come to us. Let’s build our
schools, our recreation and tour
ist trade. Make our town
acknowledged as the finest com
munity in the Territory, and
popular demand will compel the
Federal and Territorial agencies
to build roads, railroads and all i
possible transportation facilities
to Seward as the Mecca of fine
living.
Sound flowery, grandiloquent?
May-be-so, but the basic reason
ing is sound. We are well on the
way, let’s not stop now. I’m out
for the best for Seward. Are you
with me?
If ever you lose your way, you
can use an ordinary watch to deter
mine north and south, and from
this reading find the four points
of the compass. To do this, turn
the watch so that the hour hand .
points to the sun. Halfway be- 1
tween the hour hand -and 12 o’clock [
is south. Below the equator, this i
halfway point is naturally north.

our hash was yesterday, only
it’s a bit looser.”
