Editorial
By MEK
The visit of Senator Hugh
Butler of Nebraska to Alaska
this month is regarded bitterly
by some communities as a need
less expense to the country.
They contend that the case for
statehood of Alaska has already
been presented so efficiently
and clearly that there is no need
of personal contact with the
'■little men" on the subject.
It is not known whether Sew
ard is on the Senator’s itinerary,
but every effort is being made
to bring him here. Sewardites
do not lay any claim to being
other than “little men," and as
such feel every right to be heard
on statehood or any other sub
ject.
It is felt that the Senator will
come to Seward, if for no other
reason than to continue the
friendship between Seward and
the State of Nebraska which
was established early in June
by the visit of 22 men and boys
from that State.
In the past Senator Butler
has not been unfriendly to this
city, and, by seeing for himself
the situation on the railroad and
docks here, if convinced, he
could prove to be a powerful
friend.
We sincerely hope that Sew
ard will have the honor of en
tertaining him some time this
month.

CLUB
NEWS
Sandra Dangler, Secretary
In spite of the bugs and mos
quitoes, the 4-H girls of the
local Baking and Sewing clubs
enjoyed their overnight camping
trip at Bear Creek.
Three meals were cooked over
an open fire, and swimming,
fishing and hiking proved a lot
of fun for all the campers. The
girls’ chaperone was Phyllis
Dangler Hosier, who is a former
4-H’er.
"IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU '
A half-hour radio program
titled “It Could Have Been You”
will be heard over station KIBH
Saturday night at 7 o’clock un
der sponsorship of the Alaska
Cancer Society.
Word was received here that
the program, a particularly good
one, is to be given in Anchor
age at that time. The local sta
tion manager, Jack Hauser, will
try to pick it up from the An
chorage studio. If he is not suc
cessful, efforts will be made to
have it here at another time
next week. From all reports, the
program is well worth hearing.
