It has been said that chivalry,
is a male instinct which prompts
a man to protect a woman from
every man except himself.
A dollar won’t do as much as
it once did, but on the other

a dollar as we once did.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
It was with mingled feelings
that I went to Anchorage last
week to represent Seward at the
conference of Alaska cities. Not
knowing what the attitude to
ward Seward might be, or if
there was any kind of attitude,
I was prepared to be either dis
tant or cooperative, whatever
the situation might call for.
Suffice it to say, it was the
most gratifying visit I ever
made. Seward was received with
the greatest cordiality and the
people of Anchorage from Mayor
Loussac, who is a very gracious
host, to the councilmen, chief of
police, fire chief, tax assessor,
building inspector, and news
papermen went out of their way
to grant me special conferences
aside from the main issue.
I am not easily fooled by peo
ple because I have worked all
my life in public relations. Be
lieve me. friends, the people who
count in Anchorage have no
grudge against Seward these
days. No matter what may have
been trud in the past, or whether
it was mostly imagined, our
neighbors now declare that what
is good for Seward is also good
for Anchorage. That city has
outgrown the time when it was
necessary to fight other com
munities for its own existence,
and can now atiora to oe Dig.
If all the people get here who
told me seriously that they
would be the first ones over the
new highway into Seward, we
will never be able to contain
them for a single day. They are
waiting just as impatiently as
we are for the opening.
With the road opening we will
be more closely allied as neigh
bors, so let’s adopt a more friend
ly attitude ourselves and not
read our own interpretation into
every move made by Anchorage,
but try to put ourselves into
their place and come to a better
understanding and a kindlier re
lation with our surrounding com
munities.
The proposed League of Alas
kan Cities can do wonders for
each and every one of us if we
make it work. No one city, and
no two or three cities can make
it work. It must lie a wholeheart
ed cooperation of all the com
munities in the Territory.
If you will begin thinking
about the League, I will give
you the details later as they
are worked out, and, I am sure,
you will be ciuick to see its ad
vantages to us all.
As a beginning for our indi
cation of goodwill, wouldn’t it
be wise as well as interesting
to see that a good delegation
attend the official opening of
the Sterling Highway tomorrow
at the Kenai River bridge? Gen
eral Kepncr, Governor Gruen
ing and other officials will be
present to dedicate the new
road at 2:00 p.m.
Try to be there!
“All things come to him who
waits”—provided he goes after
what he is waiting for.

RECEPTION HONORS
MRS. PHILLIPS AT
SANATORIUM
Women employes of the Sew
ard Sanatorium honored the
wife of Dr. Francis Phillips,
thoracic surgeon, at a reception
Thursday evening, August 31,
in the dining hall of the hospital.
About one hundred Seward
ladies were guests and entered
their names in the guest book,
which was in the charge of Mrs.
Nell Schnoecker, who later pre
sented it to Mrs. Phillips to
help acquaint her with the Sew
ard women.
Dr. and Mrs. Phillips came to
Alaska from Shreveport, Louisi
ana. The doctor arrived some
weeks ago, but Mrs. Phillips
drove up over the Alaska High
way w'ith her twro daughters,
Jane, 9 and Susan, 3. Dr. Phil
lips has been in the Territory
before, having seen duty in the
Aleutians during the war.
The reception was held be
tween the hours of 7 and 9 p.m.
in the dining room, which was
beautifully decorated by Mrs.
Phyllis Bacon with fall flowers
in copper receptacles.
Refreshments were prepared
by Miss Susan Hayward, Sana
torium dietician, who is famous
for her dainty concoctions, and
two beautiful silver coffee serv
ices were loaned by Mrs. Clar
ence Larsen and Mrs. Oscar
Watsjold for the occasion.
A program of recorded music
was provided by Mrs. Melvin
Anderson, which was so arrang
ed as to blend with, but not to
intrude upon, general conversa
tion.
Miss Ruth Murrell, superin
tendent of hospitals, was a
charming hostess, knowing, as
she does, most of the Sewardites
by name and able to make intro
ductions all round.
Grand opera—a place where
the tenor gets stabbed in the
back and, instead of bleeding,
he sings.
