By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Psychologists tell us that the
i individual who is overly bellig
erant, who goes about with a
chip on his shoulder crying in a
loud voice about what a great
man he is; who is sure that every
other man spends his whole time
scheming against him; who be
comes sullen and hurt when not
given his share or more of credit
for everything by his associates;
who seeks the notice of, and at
the same time resents, the man
who, in his secret heart, he con
siders his superior in one way
or another—that man is suffer
ing from an inferiority complex.
I heard a man remark that
what is wrong with Seward is
that it has an inferiority com
plex. Is that true? There is only
one way to prove that it does
not describe us.
Let’s stop complaining about
what other cities do. Let’s con
centrate upon our own works,
with a quiet, CONCERTED, and
determined will to make Sew
I ard the best (not the biggest)
i community in the Territory,
i To achieve quietness, deter
i mination and progress, we must
I be willing to put personal preju
j dices aside when the good of the
! town is at stake.
The very first step is to stop
; bickering a m o n g ourselves.
| What does it matter who gets
the credit for a good proposi
tion? What does it matter who
starts or who finishes a project
so long as it brings credit to
Seward? Many people are will
ing to work harder behind the
scenes than an actor does upon
the stage, and the actor gets all
the fame.
To continue that analogy, the
man behind the scenes is quite
often still on the job long after
the fame of the star has faded
and he’s forgotten.
We can't all be captain, some
have to be the crew, but the ship
arrives safely only by the con
certed effort of the whole com
plement.
What wre must do is forget, or
just not even care what the
press in other cities say or fail
to say about Seward. We know
what we have, and what we are
capable of. Seward is about to
have a larger airport. We will
have a sewer project, adequate
water supply, paved streets and
sidewalks, new school and hos-1
pital. We will have recreation,;
industries, power and transpor-1
tation. That is the new Seward—!
the future Seward. IF we calm
ourselves, pull together, forget
our resentments, and become
confident of our own worth and
ability to proceed to success.
One man can’t do it, nor can six.
Neither can a hundred, if a
dozen others pull down and ob
struct at every turn.
Again I say, criticize policy
as much as you please, but let
it be constructive, and be sure
YOU are right, and YOU know
the truth from personal observa
tion before you enter the list of
obstructors.

Seward, Alaska
Dear Editor of
the Cradle Rocker:
I’m writing you because I
believe that you have done the
most for youth entertainment
in Seward. I have a complaint
to make and this is It.
I’ve asked my folks to take
me skating as I live in the
country. And two regular skat
ing nites (Sat., Sun., Feb. 11, 12)
and both nites we found it was
closed.
I feel this is the most active
entertainment that your group
has sponsored, and I think it’s
wonderful, however I do not
feel this is a fair deal for us
kids.
Yours truly,
The Roller Rink’s
