BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR
PATRICIA ANN PAINTER
Fifteen small movie fans en
joyed themselves thoroughly at
Patricia Ann Painter’s birthday
party Sunday afternoon. Patricia
Ann’s father, Russell Painter,
showed several reels of comic
movies to the young guests as
part of the afternoon's enter
tainment. He also took pictures
of the party in progress as the
children pulled surprise favors
from a basket, and later enjoyed
ice cream, cake and punch.
Patricia Ann will be five on
Wednesday, May 24, but the
party was held Sunday because
it was more convenient for the
adults.
Miss Goldie Busko, teacher
at the Seward Sanatorium, left
last week for Ketchikan for a
visit. Before coming to Seward
last fall, Miss Busko had spent
several years in Ketchikan.
Edward M. Jones and John
M. Lewis of Anchorage spent
the week end in Seward. They
flew down in their Swift air
plane.
TWO MORE UNDERWRITERS
FOR MT. MARATHON RACE
Two names were added last
week to the list of underwriters
for the Mt. Marathon Race on
the Fourth of July.
John Paulsteiner and the
Kenai Co-op signed late last
week. More names will be ad
ded each week, and the list pub
lished up to date.
Butch is lost. Butch is a tur
quoise blue parakeet, the affec
tionate pet of Norene Reed, and
he rode outdoors*on the shoulder
of an unsuspecting guest of
Reed's Saturday night. Once
outdoors he flew up and away
and promptly became lost. If
anyone sees or captures Butch,
please contact Norene at once.
Mr. E. H. Cowan, assistant
district engineer of the Bureau
of Public Roads, returned Sat
urday from an inspection trip
of the highway work being done
in the Interior. He reports that
the weather there is warm—
warmer than Seward—and that
all the snow is gone in the Big
Delta region.

It is a truism that hate begets
hate, good-will fosters good-will,
a n d friendliness creates friends
The past weekend was a delight to
all who participated in the friendly,
spontaneous, unplanned entertain
ment of the military visitors all
over town.
They arrived, total strangers,
knowing nothing about the kind
of people they were to meet, nor
the sort of reception to expect.
They were met under the same con
ditions. After a very few hours, as
soon as they discovered that they
were not to be called upon in any
stiff-necked formality for speeches
in the traditional military style,
and that they did not expect such
formality from us, everything
reached a "hail, fellow, well met"
footing, and everybody had a fine
time.
Several groups and individuals
ungrudgingly and at considerable
expense to themselves set out to
entertain “the boys,” and during
the process were mightily enter
tained themselves. This was a mat
ter of civic and personal pride, but,
with no idea of “selling"the town'
in any way to outsiders. It was
sheer friendliness and liking for
the officers and men of the Maho
pac and the soldiers who were vis
iting for the first time.
In return, people were deeply
gratified by the hopes expressed by
the visitors that they would be per
mitted to return soon. One man,
expecting to be discharged soon,
made arrangements to buy a lot
and build a home. “This is the place
where I want to raise my kids.”
lie said.
What pleased me most, was that
it was not forced. The real friendly
spirit cannot be forced. It is just
here. Seward is a community of
friends, ready to welcome others at
any time.
It is hardly probable that ox the
more than 100 visitors in town,
their impression \\;as 100 per cent
good, but it is a certainty that Sew
ard and its friendly people will get
more advertising in wider range
through the good will created
among these men, than the Cham
ber of Commerce would be able to
pay for in many months.
In return, we made friends who
will remain in our memories long
after the reason for the occasion
is forgotten. The fine, clean-cut,
high caliber of the personnel visit
ing here this time will go a long
way in recommending the services
to mothers of sons eligible for duty.
CUB SCOUTS TO MEET
AT SWIMMING POOL
The Cub Scouts will meet Sat
urday evening at 6:30 at the
swimming pool if the sun shines.
In case of rain, the meeting will
be held in the school gymna
sium. All parents of Cub Scouts
are invited to attend the meet
ing. Sounds like a picnic,
maybe?
Bruce Cruikshank, who was
with the radio station when it
first started here, came down
from Anchorage Friday on a
visit. He expected to return
to Anchorage today.
