Residents of Seward and the
Kenai Peninsula in the past few
weeks have become very much in
censed at reports of moose killing
out of season, some of them cows.
The Alaska Fish and Wildlife
Service lias one representative in
this locality whose duty it is to
protect our game by the supposedly
simple expedient of enforcing the
game regulations.
The Kenai Peninsula is a mighty
big piece of territory and with the
supervision which the Fish-and
Wildlife Service is able to afford, it
is not a simple problem to give

the needed protection. However, ;is
evidenced in a recent game viola
tion case which entailed the killing
and partial waste of a cow moose,
it was discovered that any law of
ficer can and will do his utmost to
to apprehend the guilty persons.
Those who believe in conserva

life will be pleased to know that
in addition to our Fish and Wildlife
agent, poachers must contend with
city police, highway patrolman.

Forest Service personnel are also
ex-officio game wardens.
Not the smallest problem that
game poachers will have in the
future is t lie fact that, we are told,
the Seward Chapter of the I/.aak
Walton League of America has a
standing reward of $50 offered to
any private citizen who furnishes
information leading to the appre
hension and conviction of the per
petrators of any such crimes against
our wildlife as that of Jan. 30 at.

The
it ★
Ctudle fjlocfcct
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
During the past week Scward
ites were startled by an an
nouncement in the Anchorage
papers and radio of Ihe list of'
towns to receive airport im
provements tliis year. We had
been previously assured that
Seward was on that list, but
it failed to appear under the'
contracts let for the work.
Gene Lanier immediately con
tacted Tony S c h w a m m by
phone, and Mr. Sehwamm ad
mitted that there had been a
slip-up somewhere, but only in
the publication, that Seward
definitely IS going to have the)
airport, that it is to come before
some of those named, and that
he would arrive in town within
a few days to make the final ar
rangements.
The old feud against Anchor
age was renewed like wildfire,
and the newspapers of that city
are being cussed and discussed
wherever two people get to
gether. They are being blamed
for the oversight, and all the;
past slights being called to mind.
I do not hold any brief for I
Anchorage, nor for its news-!
paper policies, but let’s be fair]
about this. Folks, and consider]
a iew mings.
Any newspaper that is worth j
its salt to its community must
be that community or city’s
chief booster. It must put the
home town first; all other news,
even National events, unless it
effects the hdme town, is sec-!
ondary matter. Consequently,
what may be of prime impor
tance to Seward and other cities
reaches the Anchorage papers
only through their correspond
ents, or, as in the case of the
airports, through the Federal
agency handling the work. The
deletion of Seward from the list
of airports must have come
through the latter source.
One incontestable fact re
mains, that the newspapers set
the tone or guide the thinking.!
and create the impression of and !
in their range. Anchorage did •
not mushroom and prosper sim-(
ply because someone years ago 1
put a pencil dot on a map and i
decreed that the largest city in <
Alaska would be at that point, j
Its progress has been due in a |
large measure to the continual j
poundings of its newspapers, j
but also to a wide awake and;
ambitious Chamber of Com-1
merce. Give them credit, and'
more power to them! Any other
city can do the same thing. True,!
they have had the advantage of j
Federal installations, railroad
and military. But we have ad
vantages, too, God-given. It's up!
to us to develop them. We must
not allow ourselves to become
content to sit down, holding our
hands and waiting for a kind
Santa Claus to drop rich gifts in
our laps. We must keep a Cham
ber of Commerce ever alert to
grasp and encourage every op
portunity, no matter how ephem
eral it may seom. The victor in
this race will not be to the lag
gard. Let’s stop criticising An
chorage and follow its example.
I have wondered with the
rest why our neighbor city
seems so un-neighborly at times,
and have some ideas which will
be presented in the next issue
for your consideration.
Wo all know how expensive
dental care ean be for the grow

discovery, sodium fluoride, den
tal decay in children can be re
duced as much as forty per cent!
