Many calls are received by
this paper each week in objec
tion to the series of articles now
running in the Anchorage Daily
News on the Port Authority Re
port. This is simply a reprint of
the report which was reviewed
by this editor and which drew
our criticism of March 12. Inas
much as the report was not fac
tually true when it was compiled
in 1952, and that since 1952
warehousing on Seward docks
has been nearly doubled, thus
alleviating to a large extent the
report’s figures, publication of
the report is serving a good pur
pose in Seward.
It is keeping the anger of Sew
ard people stirred to the boiling
point, not permitting them to
forget what some Anchorage
businessmen have described as a
"tempest in a teapot." That this
also will have a seriously detri
mental effect on the coming pri
mary election in which most of
the candidates for election are
Anchorage area residents may,
or may not, be beside the point.
If, on the strength of this re
port, and other inaccurate
presentations, the people of An

chorage are persuaded to vote
an increase in their taxes to sup
port construction of port facili
ties there for eight months of
the year, and are willing to pay
increased rates for warehousing
materials for the remainder of
the year, such as the people of
Nome and other winter-bound
communities are compelled to
do, that is their own business,
even if it rebounds to their own
economic discomforture. In the
meantime, Seward will continue
to improve its situation through
new port facilities which have
now been approved by Congres
sional appropriation.
By all means, i-ead the Port
Authority Report as it is pub
lished, but contain your anger,
there is no longer need for it.
Read it, and weep, for the delu
sion of your neighbors who are
being hoodwinked into paying
out good money for bad advice.
WHAT IS MORE TO THE
POINT this week, we believe, is
the proposal of the Governor,
evidently approved by President
Eisenhower, to partition Alaska
for statehood to the populous
sections only.
It is doubtful whether a poll
in Seward would show it very
strong for immediate statehood,
but it would certainly evidence
strong opposition to any parti
tion or division of the Territory
which would exclude the rich
potential of mineral lands, de
velopment of which would con
tribute materially to support of
statehood when it is obtained.
All Alaskans must join in ve
hement protest to Washington
on any move toward partition of
the Territory.

SACRIFICE
Upon Love’s altar
Candles burn bright
Each an offering
For a God’s delight.
Some for the moment
When we meet
Some for your kisses
Lingering, sweet.
One burns high
With a crimson flame,
For love's desire
That has no name.
I've lighted all the tapers
Each burns anew,
Each from my lonely heart
1 lit for love and you.

Slowly in from the edge of
town
White clouds came creeping,
settled down:
Soft blown from distant hidden
hills
Wind touched the budding
leaves, left them still.
Down from the arch above, blue
and grey
Fell a ray of sunshine—clouds
float away.

CAST OF SCHOOL PLAY OT
ATTEND ANCHORAGE
PRODUCTION
Most of the cast of “Tish,”
this year's play production of
Seward High School, is going to
Anchorage Saturday to see the
production there.
When “Tish” was chosen as
the local school play, it was not
known that it was also to be
presented by the Anchorage
High Scho-ol. This trip will give
the Seward cast an opportunity
to see and possibly improve their
own presentation.
Mrs. Grace Campen, Seward
High School principal and di
rector of the play, will accom
pany the Seward students.
