MOTHER OF A BOY SCOUT
IS SAD BUT PROUD
The poignant but nameless
dread of a mother whose young
son shows signs of growing up
are beautifully expressed in an
article received from a Seward
mother.
Today I put stitches in my
son’s first pair of khaki trousers;
I sewed insignia on his first
khaki shirt. His first suit of
khaki for God and Country. He
is only eleven years old and the
shirt has Boy Scouts of Am
erica on the front, but the trou
sers say “Official Trousers,’’ and
the color is Khaki and he is
going to prepare himself for
God and Country.
Scouting is a wonderful thing.
I urged my son to join, and I
want him to become a good
scout. I shall be proud of every
scrap of cloth I have to sew to
the sleeve of his uniform for I
know that the more that sleeve
is filled the more prepared he
will be for this life. But each
stitch will tear out a part of my
heart for now it is no longer
just himself and family for
which he lives, but the bigger

SEAHAWKS OFF FOR
CORDOVA FRIDAY
The Seahawks and several
rooters to the number of about
19 took off Friday morning at
10 o’clock for Cordova. They
will play the Cordova return
basketball games Friday and
Saturday nights, returning to
Seward, presumably on Sunday.
Clear sunny weather prom
ised a fine flight for the young
sters over the new country, as
they took off over the bay rath
er than the usual route via An
chorage.

goals for which he must prepare
himself. Each scrap of cloth
which I sew onto that sleeve
will show that he is more pre
pared and fit for the job which
is to come, but each one tears
away a bit more of the apron
string that tied him to his home
and his parents.
This fitness, this prepared
ness 1 want for my son. I would
have it no other way, and bless
the people who will guide him
in this adventure. But today my
heart is broken, for it is no long
er “for Mom and Dad,” it is
“For God and Country.” The
color is not Levi blue any more,
it is Khaki. He is only eleven
years old and this is his first
khaki uniform. Oh, God, please
let it be the last, but if it can’t
be, let each one he puts on make
him as proud as the one did
today, let it make him fit and
prepared to do his duty; and give
me the strength and courage to
smile and send him on his way
to God and his Country.

VALENTINE
Is lace then so important a part
Of Valentine and loving?
Are forget-me-nots on every
heart
And cupid’s bow and cupid’s
dart
And roses in a scalloped cart
With Cupid himself shoving
Are all of these the needed sign
To tell you that I wish you mine?
Indeed then—open wide your
heart
Prepare for turtle doving . . .
For I shall bring, wrapped sweet
in lace,
The tender picture of the face
No other portrait can replace
With Cupid’s arrows, Cupid’s
dart
Masquerading in a heart
That’s sweet with candy, sweet
with flowers
Sweet with love for all life’s
hours.
—Mary Ellen White

Mary Montgomery is back.
She lived in Seward a year ago
but had to leave. We are all
glad to see Mary back.
Friends that have heard from
Sharon Stevens report that they
reached Arkansas safely and are
surprised to really find hill
billies.
Two new high school girls
came this week. Lois Bond, a
senior is from California and
Sue, a freshman, is from An
chorage.
The team and cheerleaders
left today for Cordova. We wish
the boys luck in this week end’s
games. By the way, why did
Miss Lind go?
Congratulations to Margie
Turnbull. She sure looks good
on the stage. Maybe Hollywood
needs a new dancer. How about
it, Margie?ie
Well, I guess everyone knows
Billy Evins and Richard Matt
son are home. Billy will soon be
going into the Army and Rich
ard is out for good.
So long everybody. Sorry I
missed last week, but just noth
ing seemed to happen.

Red hearts, crepe paper, scis
sors and happy voices announce
the approaching Valentine cele
bration from every corner of the
buildings. Not omy do the chil
dren make valentines for one
another, but for all classmates,
as well. One housemother was
told that if she did not have
time to construct a fancy box
to hold her own, the least she
could do was to cover a kleenex
box!
Not only paper hearts but also
more digestible (if looks are any
indication) ones have been forth
coming of late. Several beauti
fully shaped and decorated
heart cakes have been made for
4-H Club and school display.
Mrs. Alice Suroski, third
grade teacher, spoke at the Ves
per Service Wednesday evening,
February 10. She gave five spe
cific teachings from the Beattl
tudes in the fifth chapter of
Matthew, with a way to re
member them.
The final trip to Anchorage
for ear check-ups was made
Thursday, Feb. 11. Mr. Lee
seems to make a habit of “cele
brating” his day off in a doctor’s
office!
Housemother Virginia Search
went skiing at Mile 12, laboring
under the false impression that
“coming down the hill” means
getting to the bottom, with no
particular emphasis on the meth
od used. In trying the “hands
and knees” technique, not yet
perfected even by experts, she
succeeded in twisting a knee
and ankle. The pain and atten
tion lasted only a few days,
however, and now she is ready

HARBOR HOMEMAKERS
The Harbor Homemaker’s
Club will meet for its regular

expedition.
Ralph Sheldon has been ap
pointed Assistant Junior Scout
Master of the Seward troup, an
honor which carries many re
sponsibilities including aiding in
teaching camping techniques,
first aid, dressing-out and other
scouting aptitudes. The selection
is based upon dependability and
ability.
Since the 4-H Club has begun
regular meetings again, each
Tuesday evening is devoted by
some of the girls to learning the
art of home-making. Amelia
Jensen was chosen vice-president
of the group in recent elections.

wilh a BUTLER sieel building
Your cash register will play a profitable tune months
sooner if you build the Butler way. One of these pre
engiiieered steel buildings goes up fast because all parts
have been formed and punched for a precision fit in a
modern factory. Erection costs are surprisingly low!
By combining wood, masonry, and plate glass with
the regular galvanized or aluminum covering, you can
easily individualize your Butler building. Clear-span
interiors are well lighted—100 percent usable! Insur
ance rates are low. And there’s a size to suit your needs.
Ask us where you can see a new Butler Building in
use near you. It will pay you to get our Jftice before you
build. We will be glad to work with your architect or
you can use our complete building service. Call or write
