Speaking of weather — of
which we have had considerable
lately—and winter in Alaska,
Mrs. Lcchner remarked that she
picked a quart of red rasp
berries from the bushes in her
yard on the 27th of October!

Four Years' Progress
Parent Teachers Association'
officers have called a meeting
for Tuesday, Nov. 8 in the High
School auditorium to elect offi
cers and plan the program for
the year. This election would
ordinarily have been held last
May but disinterest and lack
of attendance prevented it.
This association was organ-,
ized in December, 1945, and in!
the past four years has been
a most active and beneficial aid
to the school, its books showing
an actual monetary turnover
of $3000, for equipment, fur
nishings and books.
In the winter of 1947-1948
warning was received from the
Northwest Association of Ac
credited Schools that unless the
Seward schools' library were
brought up to standard it would
lose its standing as an accredit
ed school.
The P-TA, under the direction'
of Mrs. Harold Davis, put on a
program for the purpose of ob
taining enough accredited liter
ature to bring the library up to
date. $1500 was raised for the
project, and the Seward high
school remains on the accredited
list.
Organizations and business
houses have cooperated 100 per
cent with any and all programs
for the benefit of education,
according to officers, but the
parents, except for a few, have
not shown any interest. The
whole burden of a P-TA pro
gram has been carried by a very
small group of parents for the
benefit of the many. This is
very often the case in such an
organization, but in a small
community such as Seward,
with a school population of near
ly 400, it is hoped that a large
percentage of parents will be1
present at this meeting to con
tinue the work of support and
improvement of the school in
Seward.
Oscar Dahl is back home at
the New Seward Hotel after a
short stay in the hospital where
he underwent surgery.
