WE TURNED OUT with the rest
of Seward to welcome the peo
ple from Homer last Saturday
evening and since thinking it
over we’ve discovered that we
now are acquainted with more
Homer people than Seward peo
ple—after more than a year’s
residence in the Gateway City.
There could be several reasons
for this circumstance.
IT MAY BE that we have
been a bit backward about get
ting out to gejt acquainted with
our next door neighbors and
fellow townsmen. If that is so,
then the fault is entirely ours.
However, several Sewardites
have lately mentioned the fact
that they hardly know anyone
any more. There are so many
new faces at every gathering
that it is hard to keep up.
THEN AGAIN it may be that
there ar? many more people in
our city who are not acquainted
with their neighbors and who
would welcome an opportunity
to attend a planned get-together
for the purpose of making
friends.
IF LAST SATURDAY'S turn
out is an, example of Seward’s
friendliness and good-fellowship
we say it should be done more
often, maybe every month dur
ing the winter season. It might
be a project for one of our local
clubs. Ilow better could we pro
mote friendliness and good-fel
lowship than by starting right
here at home? Why not a COM
MUNITY POTLUCK DINNER
one of these days—soon? Any
body got any ideas? Write 'em
down and mail them to us. We’ll
furnish the publicity, and maybe
we can find a stale loaf of bread
or a chunk of smoked fish to
take along.
POWER PLANT FOR HOMER
Residents of Homer have
hopes of owning an electric
power plant by Christmas. The
Homer Electric Association has
been formed, and Carl Baier ap
pointed superintendent of con
struction.
A 50 K.W. generator has been
found which can be used as a
temporary plant until larger
plants are available. Poles and
lines have been set, houses are
wired and everything set and
waiting for the installation of
the generating plant.

Isn’t it strange how one takes
for granted things that we see
every day, or that happen
around us gradually?
For instance, I heard some
of the Homer visitors remark
about how nice the store win
dows looked. So I opened my.
eyes and took a walk down
Fourth Avenue. Came back
proud as punch. Our store win
dows arc mighty attractive. You
would go a long way to find
a display any more pleasing and
artistic than the china window
at the Alaska Shop. McMullen’s
looks like a Fifth Avenue
Shoppe—really smart.
Doyle's Christmas window
with the electric train whizzing
around cheerily on perfect*
schedule lias a constant audi
ence of menfolks, the kids get
a chance once in a while to
squeeze in for a peek.
The big log cabin in Bud
Terry's window is made of
match sticks. With the light'
inside it looks like a cheerful
Alaska homestead. Moody’s
makes me sad because I can’t
have all the things I see in it.
And for the same reason I can
not bear to gaze too^long intoj
the appliance shops.
The atmosphere at The Blue
Shop is just as warm and cozy
inside as the window implies.
Urbach’s is the only store that
worries us about falling on the
ice and breaking our bones. He
always reminds folks by putting
ice creepers in his window. I
now have three pairs because I
go out without them, then stop
for a new pair when I see them
there. And Sid’s flowers never
fail to captivate the passerby.
The Mart tempts the book
worms with the bright book
jackets and magazines.
Of course, groceries are ne
cessities, but Jack Werner de
fies the passerby to get past
his windows without a mouth- J
watering glance.
Yes, when I see the special
care taken to’ dress the shop
windows on Fourth Avenue, I
feel that Seward is progressing
steadily and that we are grow
ing ever closer to modern State
side practices.
