LUTHERAN LADIES TO
HAVE BAKE SALE
The Lutheran Ladies Aid has
announced a bake sale for Satur
day, March 25, to be held at Mc
Mullen's Store beginning at 1
p.m.
Ralph Andrews and his son
went to Anchorage Tuesday
morning on a business trip. They
had expected to return home the
next day, but the weather man
failed to cooperate with flying
weather and they didn’t get
home till Thursday.
A mailman goes for a hike
on his vacation, a bus driver
takes a bus ride. Alden Johnson
takes a boat ride. Mr. Johnson,
who for many years has sailed
as first mate for the Alaska
Steamship Co., was a passenger
on the Denali Thursday. He and
his wife and youngest daughter
are on a vacation. His friends
on the dock had a lot of fun
kidding him about it.
If a husband’s words are sharp
maybe it’s from trying to get
them in edgewise.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
The decision on the location
of the college in Alaska by the
Methodist Church Board of Ed
ucation is not all settled, cut
and dried, nor filed away, as
seems to be the opinion of some
of our local residents. In fact,
the meeting at which the deci
sion is to be given has not been
held and is not scheduled until
early in April in Cleveland.
We must not let our enthusi
asm lag, nor let down in any
way our united efforts to con
vince the members of that Board
that Seward is the one and only
place in which to locate a liberal
arts college.
A little boy at Jesse Lee Home
last week offered a pointed il
lustration of a good reason for
having a college nearby. Rev.
Irwin tells the story of the child
who was fascinated by the doc
tor who visited the Home from
the ARR Health Unit.
“It must be wonderful to be
a doctor,” said the little fellow,
wistfully.
“It is indeed,” replied the
house mother, “and you can bo
one if you study hard and pre
pare to go to college.”
“But, I can never go to col
lege because it costs too much
and you have to go so far away.”
He is only a little boy, and
who knows, maybe by the time
he is old enough, there will be
a pre-med course given in Alas
ka which will be open to him,
a little native boy with a yearn
ing ache to be a doctor.
The possibility is still good.
But the people of Seward must
prove to the men on the Board
that they want the college, that
Seward is a good location for it,
and why they think so. The only
way to do it, is to continue with
individual letter writing, organ
izational recommendations, and
good, homey reasoning.
Hand written letters on your
own stationery, giving your
sentiments and urging the con
sideration of Seward for the
college site, the ground for
which has already been made
available, is all you can do,
but that is a great deal.
If you haven't written your
letters yet, don't put it off any
longer, write tonight. If you
have lost the names and ad
dresses, look it up in the Record,
or call Rev. Irwin, who will be:
glad to advise you.
Let’s each one of us do our
share, then if we do not get
the college, each one will have a
good conscience about it, at
least, and be able to tell him
self, “Well, it is not because of
my neglect.”
