In fact, Anchorage city coun
cil “disposed of it," by voting to
remain neutral on the railroad
appropriation. To remain neutral
means to steer a middle course;
go straight; concede half; be im
partial; compromise or even to
straddle the fence. Which of

these meanings does the Anchor
age city council imply by their
neutrality? How can the govern
ing body remain aloof from the
recommendations of its own
commissioned port committee?
That a stand of neutrality would
satisfy Seward and save indi
vidual council members from
criticism and suspicion was false
reasoning. It simply points up
the fact that we must continue
to recognize ARMED NEUTRAL
ITY where it exists and be very
much on guard against it. One
of the Anchorage oouncilmen
was heard to remark that he
“felt sorry for Seward and wish
lie could think of something to
substitute for them so they
would have a means of support
ing themselves.” We are grateful
for the councilman’s sympathy!
Taken from the Times' report
on the council meeting: "Coun
cilman Jack White argued for
closure of the rail link, combined
with efforts to obtain part of the
SI 1,000,000 earmarked for its re
habilitation for use in building
port facilities.
"That rail line was a mistake
in the first place and the entire
railbelt is subsidizing Seward,"
he said.

Do not be mislead, people of
Seward, by the tremendous
smoke screen sent up from An
chorage over “vice in Seward.”
We know how much vice there
is here and also how much there
is not. We, too. can read, and
discover that while violent head
lines cry of vice in Seward, the
stories in fine print relate of
heartbreaking efforts to clean up
their own house. As one man
said here today, “Sure, let’s
clean out all ‘vice’ in Seward.

We want a clean town. Anyway,
it’s only 127 miles to Anchorage,
anybody can find all the vice he
wants up there.” Nothing is to
be gained by the pat calling the
kettle black. Name calling ac
complishes nothing, so Seward
officials have taken steps to re
move any reason for social criti
cism here.
The Anchorage Daily News
editorial entitled, ‘‘Seward Sore
and Rightfully So,” admits that
we have justification for our in
dignation. It agrees with the
Times however that our editorial
was “vindictive.”
Thinking that perhaps we
could be in the wrong, we looked
up the word in Roget's The
saurus. We find numerous syno
nims for the word vindictive
with varying degrees of meaning.
If this paper was so unkind
and ill-natured, so hard of heart,
spiteful and malicious as to cru
elly, brutally and ferociously de
clare our resentment in an un
forgiving, unrelenting attack; if
we remain remorseless in our
outrage at the attitude of the
Anchoarge city council, its Port
Commission and the now famous
“combo” behind it, then we were
in very truth vindictive — but
unbowed!
Mr. Guy Kearns is recuperat
ing after an operation in St. Vin
cent’s Hospital, Portland. He
will not be back home for sev
eral weeks.
Leon Urbach underwent sur
gery in a Berkeley, Calif., hos
pital this week, acocrding to a
message received here. At last
reports he was “doing well.”
A daughter was barn to Mr.
and Mrs. George Howard of An
chor Point, in Seward General
Hospital March 12. The little
girl, the second child for the
Howards, weighed six pounds
five ounces. She was named
Terry Ann.
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Buethe
of Seward are parents of a baby
girl, born in Seward General
Hospital March 12. The little girl
weighed four pounds six ounces.
She was named Marjory Ann.
There are three other children.
Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Wright
are proud parents of their first
son, Kenneth Seward, who was
born in Seward General Hospital
March 15. He weighed eight
