WHAT HAPPENED?
Did you miss something last week, like a couple of the big
doings of the community? Well, we are happy to report that
probably by the time you get to this page you will have found
out what happened at a couple of the meetings which were not
reported in last week’s Record.
It seems that in spite of all the nice weather we have been
having, that already winter is catching up with your editor and
making things appear late in the paper. That’s what happened
last week when you found all sorts of miscellaneous nonsense
in the paper and not a mention of some of the more important
doings of the past few days.
We would like to thank all those folks who have been so
understanding and have pardoned our failure to get in some of
the big news of the week.
In the next few months it could be that last week’s perform
ance may become a little more routine, for as we all know,
there will he times when for reasons of weather, the paper
will be delayed.
Through co-operation and understanding, Seward will con
tinue to have a newspaper, and likely within a few months will
have it printed here in Seward, where weather will be news
rather than a handicap.
In order to minimize the possibility that something will get
lost in the rush from Seward to Cordova and return, folks having
items or advertising should get them in before the Monday dead
line. There just aren’t enough hours in the day for us to rewrite,
retvpe, or whip advertising cop\ into shape between Monday {
evening and 9:00 a.tn. Tuesday morning when everything is j
supposed to leave for Cordova on the plane.
We have been sending stuff in late, and getting it in the
paper, hut it appears that we cannot hope to continue to do it j
and assure you that it will get into the paper on schedule.
While we realize that the newspaper is our business and
we are expected to supply reporting and editorial staff as well
as the mechanical facilities for the paper during these opening
months when we are laboring under nearly insurmountable ob
stacles. it will be up to our friends whether or not we surmount
them and the Seaport Record survives to see the day when it
will once again be a fullfledged newspaper with its own plant
in Seward.
To some, it may seem that we are complaining before we
are hurt, that is not the case. However, we think it is wiser
to forewarn our readers that there are some tough months ahead
and that the kindness and understanding which has been shown
in the past week may be heavily drawn upon before spring
comes and The Record is placed on a firmer foundation,

lightful Turkey dinner which was
served.
It had been Leon’s announced
desire to see a Mr, show when
he left town, with a thousand danc
ing girls, and though the restricted
size of the Elks Club precluded
any such grandoise display of fem
inine charms, what was lacking in
quantity was made up in quality,
as two of the flowers of Seward
"womanhood” “Jacqueline” Jeffrey
and “Winifred” Ervin, shimmied
and shook their charms to the de
light of all those present. Some
folks said they saw an amazing
resemblance in the "girls” to Jack
Jeffrey and Win Ervin, Jr.
Next charmer on stage was Miss
Barbara Vaughn who danced a
couple of hula numbers for the
audience and displayed the grace
ful technique which has made the
hula world-famous.
A broadcast of the crime thril
ler “Hairnet” was staged by a
group of tlie Rainbow Girls. The
broadcast was aired over station
LEO N.
During bis years of service to
the community, Mr. Urbach has
been an active member of the
Seward Masonic Lodge. Eastern,
Star and supporter of the Rainbow
Girl activities.
During the Second World War
Leon served on tlie local Draft
Board and one of the first draftees
was his own son Larry, who is
now taking over the store here in
Seward. In 1946, Leon was chosen
as tlie Alaskan representative to
go to Washington as a delegate to
receive recognition for tlie work
of the Alaskan Draft Board mem
bers.
In recognition of Leon’s long
service to the Community. Cham
ber of Commerce President Win
Ervin presented him with a life
membership to the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce.
In response to the many words
of tribute and the award of the
life membership certificate. Mr.
Urbach told the group that it bad
been a pleasure to see Seward
grow from a hamlet on the shores
of Resurrection Bay to the thriv
ing port city of 3500 it is today.
He also said. “I believe that the
next five years will be the most
interesting in the history of Sew
ard.”

IS A VOTE FOR
COMMONWEALTH
I believe that a Commonwealth status will pro
mote Economic Development of Alaska and bring
new industry with More Jobs for Alaskans.
Am firmly convinced that the people of Alaska
should have more self-government and elect their
Governor and Have Control Of Their Natural Re
sources, including our Coastal Waters.
Would continue a sound educational program,
explore and develope all possible means that will
help the people in the remote areas to improve
their economy.
Would Expand The Highway and rural road
system as rapidly as our economics permit with an
equitable tax on all its users and make modern
motorized transportation available to the people as
soon as possible in all areas.
Would expand and improve our Alaskan laws
so that they are fair and equitable to all, increase
local municipal self-government so that advanced
planning can be done.

Tuesday.
♦ * * *
Heard about a real heroic res
cue of some youngsters down at
the Dock recently. Seems some
young fellow wasn’t the sailor
he thought he was and ventured
out too far from the shore on a
small raft. About then he de
cided to abandon ship, but not be
ing a swimmer nearly drowned be
fore a driver from Totem Truck
Lines manned the life boats and
dragged him out. We were not
able to find anyone who knew the
names of either the rescued or
the rescuer.

schedule remains the same this
week at least. For information,
