Seward telephone subscribers
got a jolt this week upon receiv
ing notice from Alaska Tele
phone Corporation that all rates
will be increased $1.75, effective
December 1.
This rate, coming as it does in
the face of a court injunction to
be answered before Judge J. L.
McCarrey in session here No
vember 16, strikes us as being a
rather callous challenge to “like
it or lump it!"
City attorneys brought legal
action after the 40% hike in
June, which was put in effect
despite the result of a public
hearing and city council refusal

of the company's petition. At
that time the question of a pay
raise for operating personnel
entered into the picture. Sub
scribers felt generally that oper
ators were underpaid and should
receive scale wages. Company
representatives used that as a
wedge to gain the first general
rate hike. It was contested on
the grounds of the adverse pub
lic hearing, which held the in
crease to be in violation of the
franchising ordinance.
The proposed new increase
has no basis of pay raises. Oper
ators here have made no new
demands, nor are they contem
plating any new demends, or re
ceiving any new pay raises.
“We have endeavored," the
company cooly states, "to give
you a high grade of telephone
service at a minimum cost." The
company also claims that this
high grade service which the
town is receiving lias been given
at a constant monthly loss. The
approximate 400 residents who
have applied in vain for tele
phones may wonder at the com
pany’s attempt to justify their
"hope and aim to grow with
Seward" when they continue to
wait month after month for
phones.
It is our opinion and experi
ence that local phone operators
and servicemen are giving the
best service possible with the fa
cilities provided them by the
company. These local people are
entirely blameless in either poor
service or in the new rate hike.
The whole situation seems to be
another example of Alaskan
business operated by absentee
owner.- The business of ATC is
operated from an office in Se
attle, far removed from the local
scene.

As their nomination for the
most thoughtful housewife in
Seward, Jesse Lee puts up the
person who sent cookies for
everyone on Hallowe'en. In the
afternoon of that “infamous”
day, someone stopped by the
Home with cookies which he
said his wife had sent because
the children would not have the
chance to get around town to
"trick or treat,” that well known
Hallowe’en pastime. The cookies
were a wonderful collection of
witches, bats, moons, butterflies,
and other articles, and the boys
who helped put them around on
the dining tables as individual
favors kept commenting on how
much work had gone into the
making of them.
Saturday night the big Hal
lowe’en party was held, with
everyone coming in costume, and
many prizes being given for va
rious categories of disguise. First
prizes were fifty cents each, sec
ond prizes twenty-five cents, and
third prizes ten cents. The gym
was decorated with bats, black
cats, balloons and orange and
black crepe paper, and a replica
of a haunted house stood as high
as the basketball goal in one end
of the room. A “friendly ghost”
peeked from one window of the
house and a six foot witch flew
above it, on a real broom.
Besides the costume judging,
there was a staff skit, bobbing
for apples, and refreshments.
The refreshments were apple
cider and doughnuts. The cider,
