By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Probably no celebration ever
attempted, requiring the con
certed effort of many people,
ever went off more smoothly
than did our Potlatch.
No one person, and certainly
no group of persons, was ever
able to please all the people,
I but so far as I know, the dis
gruntled element, and sharply
j critical, could be counted on
| one’s fingers, and when cony
1 pared with the big crowd of sat
isfied people who attended the
Friday and Saturday night
■ events, that is a pretty small
I minority, and as such can be
1 ignored entirely.
I Experience is by far the best
I teacher, and another time, some
things could be done differently.
Most people can accept con
structive criticism gracefully,
•md this committee is ready to
do so. It would be regrettable
I however, if word should come
! to the ears of our neighbors
: to the northward that Seward
| could not have a party without
j quarreling among themselves.
! It is over. It was a success.
It accomplished our purpose—
i to prove to the rest of the Pen
j insula that we solicit their good
: will and friendship and offer
’ ours without reservation.
i borne ot the committee ana
volunteers may have served on
this sort of thing for the first
time. They may have just learn
ed the hard lesson that the one
who puts aside his own comfort
to accomplish some public bene
fit takes on a heavy burden of
criticism. If that should be the
case with anyone, let me assure
you that the first time is the
worst time, and your only re
ward, like Virtue, is the inward
knowledge of a job well done,
and the sincere praise of the
few.
Take it from one who has
been through the mill many j
times; your harshest critics will j
almost invariably be the very j
ones who would have refused j
to attempt the job themselves.
We all sincerely hope that
the new names behind the Pot
latch will continue to give of
, their enthusiasm and work on
I the next and biggest project,!
which is the Fourth of July!
