PHILLIPS (WIS.) BEE (Rep.)
SAYS . . .
. . . Some of the American
people have come to a point that
they so rely upon the grants,
subsidies, and the like from
Uncle Sam, that they fail to re- j
alize where the money which j
pays for such, comes from. They
are so concerned about getting j
more, and grabbing before some- j
one else get to the trough, that j
they fail to realize that with
each grab they are losing some
of the individuality and the in
itiative which makes America
and the American way of life.
America was founded on self
reliance. America can and will
remain strong on the same
quality.
They say a clear conscience j
enables one to sleep well—but j
what a dull world this would be j
if everyone slept all the time.

ENPOSITER SAYS:
The house of delegates of the
American Bar Association has
ruled that all lawyers in the
U.S. must take an anti-Com
munist oath. Is this not a rather
silly procedure? An oath, one
way or another, would not mat
ter in the least to a Communist.
BETA SIGMA PHI HOLDS
PREFERENTIAL TEA
In spite of the weather many
members and rushees attended
the Beta Sigma Phi preferential
tea held at the home of their
sponsor. Mrs. Ray James.
The committee, Barbara Shea,
Marianne Burke, and Elinor
Painter, had a beautifully ar
ranged table with a centerpiece
of lovely fresh flowers.
The tea ended the rushing ac
tivities for the chapter, and will
be climaxed by the formal in
stallation of pledges in April.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
The oft-repeated phrase “As
Alaska goes, so goes the nation/’
seems to have taken a reverse
m o v c rrye n t during the past
month. All the indecision and
confusion shown by the 82nd
Congress has been reflected in
our own Legislature.
It was to be expected that
there would be some disharmony
caused by the unusual division,
of political party representation.
But not even the excuse of ir
ritability caused by imminent
adjournment crowding unfinish
ed legislation can justify the
petty bickering, personal re
crimination and puerile ex
change of notes between the
two houses.
It is a certainty that the over
all accomplishments of the
Legislature has done nothing
to promote the favorable con
sideration of statehood, and bills
whipped through at the last
minute are quite liable to be
faulty.
Considerable resentment is to
be found, particularly in smaller
communities at the raise in
salaries for the higher salaried
offices, when every town is at
wit's end to provide adequate
school facilities at home, without
much promise of assistance ex
cept from a high salaried man
who has not the funds to im
plement his expert advise.
If the boys buckle down this
next week and actually find
the money to carry out their
proposals w i t h o u t depriving
the health, welfare and educa
tion departments of the absolute
necessities, then, we will doubt
less be able to consider the en
tire Legislature with a slightly j
more tolerant memory.
As it is, we can only sit home
and hope.
NEW ROAD GRADER HERE
The new D-6 road and street
Caterpillar grader ordered for
the city has arrived and is soon
to be unloaded for use on the
streets. Residents can now ex
pect to sec some rapid improve
ment in the condition of streets
and alleys.
Few people pay attention to
what a consistent liar has to say.
I JESSE HATCH COMES HOME
I WITH BRIDE
Jesse Hatch, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Hatch, and brother
of Marathon champion Ralph,
I returned home from the Uni
■ versity of Alaska last week with
' a bride.
i Mrs. Hatch is the former Peg
I gy Walker, daughter of Mrs. V.
| M. Walker of Fairbanks. She
I was graduated from Our Lady
of Lourdes Academy in Wallace,
! Idaho. Peggy was a freshman at
the university majoring in arts
and letters. She was well known
on the campus for her many
: activities, among which was her
! participation in the drama “Jan
I uary Thaw.”
After finishing school here,
Jesse served a short time with
the Army at Fort Richardson
before going to the university.
He was in his second year at the
institution, studying education.
During these two years he has
become a member of the ski
team, hockey team, and basket
ball team. He toured Alaska
j with the basketball team this
i year and also placed third at
I the Fur Rendezvous ski meet,
j The couple was married by
the U S. Commissioner at Fair
banks on March 6. The bride’s
sister and brother-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. James Houtchens, were
attendants. They drove to An
chorage for their honeymoon,
then came on home to Seward.
60.000 SACKS CEMENT ON
FIRST BARGE
Mr. Tom Reilly, manager of
Seward Fish & Cold Storage, re-j
turned Saturday from Seattle
where he has been for several
weeks.
He announced that the first!
cement barge of the season will (
dock about April 8 with 60.000 j
sacks of cement, all consigned,
to Ladd Field.
Arrangements are being made !
to sack cement here from bulk j
storage.
Larry, 13-year-old son of Mrs. j
Dorothy Stewart, has recovered
from an appendectomy and re-1
turned to school Monday, just J
in time to be dismissed for the '
flu epidemic.
Most politicians are glad to
help each other out—of office.
Petty prejudices allow many
folks to form opinions of others
without trying to find the facts.
