In his Story of Seward, Jay
Stauter speaks of the fate of
Seward being settled one way,
then the other, by persons thou
sands of miles away, and who
have never seen the place. It has
happened again.
American people find it a
little disconcerting to have all
decisions made for them; it's
like praying to Santa Claus and
being a good little boy so Santy
will bring a special gift.
We are just hearing definite
plans tor the construction of a
S>7,200.UUO petroleum storage
plant at Kenai. A sum equal to
tiie total purchase price of the
Territory or Alaska is being
expended on the Peninsula. iNo
one on the Peninsula had any
thing to do with tiie project,
and it will definitely enect
everyone living here, particular
ly m Kenai village, but a;so
in Seward. It's wonderful, or
course, but another one 01 tile
surprise packets being handed
out these days. Somehow, it
rouses a resentment in my mind.
The attitude ol. "It s not wiiat
you want, but what we think is
Oocd for you,” is not my iuea
of the real American Way.
It was suggested at tue Cham
ber of Commerce meeting tnat
it might be possible to persuade
the Forest Service or some otner
government agency to build a
road from the highway into tiie
Lost Lake area. This is thought
to be the best, if not the only,
local area suited to winter
sports.
The government is not doing
a n y construction in Aids..a
simply because it is good for
the development of a communi
ty (unless it is Anchorage.; That
a town or city happens to be
adjacent to improvements is
purely accidental, which is as
u j»nouid be when the improve
ment and defense of the Terri
tory is oeing considered. Access
to a beautiful and ideal recrea
tion area is, however, an asset
to the whole Peninsula. Local
sportsmen have long been aware
of the possioilities at Lost Lake,
and the three trails into the
counry are well used. It could
be enjoyed by the Army Rec
reation Center and winter tour
ists, as well, if a short road
were built into the area.
If we all go to work on the
Powers-that-be, and call the
situation to their attention while
contractors are working the rest
of the road, who knows? Maybe
Kenai Peninsula will receive
another boost toward develop
ment.
