A son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Willard Terry, Tuesday,
Feb. 14, at Seward General Hos
pital. The baby, who was
born on his mother’s birthday,
weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces.
His name is Kenny Randall.
The best “top salesman” we
ever heard of was the one who
sold two milking machines to
a farmer who had only one cow.
Then this salesman helped fi
nance the deal by taking the
cow as down payment on the
two milking machines.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
One of the best examples of
my contention in the last issue,
that it is up to us to MAKE
other towns recognize Seward
instead of wailing and pleading
for recognition, was given this
week by our KIDS.
There was hardly a group in
town last night that was not
waiting With bated breath and
an unconscious prayer to hear
the result of the basketball
game in Anchorage. The shout
that came when the word of vic
tory came over the radio was
the most spontaneous relief and
joy that I have heard anywhere
since V-J Day. True, it was a
small victory, from a small
town, but it was a serious disap
pointment and a grievous hurt
to the pride of a much larger
number.
According to reports, our boys
fought every inch of the way to
that victory. Fought on alien
i ground, and against heavy odds
j and some prejudice. But—they
j are CHAMPIONS and thorough
breds! We can be and are proud
of our Sea Hawks.
BUT—one battle is behind
them. There is still one to come.
Seward is now the championship
team of Western Alaska, and
must fight Southeastern for the
Territorial title. It will cost no
little money to send ten boys,
and their coach to Juneau to
carry on the fight. It cost no lit
tle money for them to spend a
week in Anchorage. They raised
that amount themselves by the
admission charge at the school
games, bake sales, the entertain
ments, and some help from
sportsminded townspeople. But,
they will have none left to go on
with.
Last week a fund was started
down the street to raise money
to send the team back to the
Rendezvous tournament, and to
Juneau. These kids have done
for us what we have not been
able to do. By sheer grit, not!
knowing when they were licked, j
they have put the name of Sew-1
ard in every newspaper in the i
Territory and into every home!
with a radio. Now, we can’t let |
them down. Bill Knapp had faith !
in them, the Sea Hawks had
faith in Bill Knapp, their coach, j
and they all have faith in the j
home town believing that we j
will stand by with the money to;
send them to Southeastern.
Drop in at the Seward Hard- •
ware and put your name on the i
list with Gus Johnson. If you!
can’t give five bucks, give one. j
If you can’t spare a dollar, make j
it four bits. Or leave a dime and
give up that cup of coffee. We’ve
got to do it, folks!
Dig down! Shell out! Send
these kids to Juneau. If we can
send out a championship basket
ball team from our school, there
must be something in Seward
after all. Prove it. Folks!
