Editorial
By MEK
“Nothing is more interesting
to Alaskans than Alaska,” an
editorial in the Anchorage Daily
Times marvels.
"The enthusiasm of Alaskans
for Alaska is one of the inspir
ing phases of life here. It augurs
well for the future of the land.
What hope would there be that
Alaska will some day become
an inseperable economic unit of
the nation, if her people were
indifferent or skeptical?” the
Times asks.
We agree unequivocally with
them, that Alaskans are great
boosters and lovers of all things
Alaskan. It does appear however
that the approval of thousands
of the Territory as a whole is
quite often withheld from the
local scene.
The same man who will boast
about Alaska will in the same
breath disparage his own partic
ular loyalty. We have found this
true whether the town be An
chorage, Fairbanks or Seward.
It may be the old story of the
field being greener on the other
side of the fence.
Whatever prompts people to
find nothing good to talk about
concerning his own town, it cer
tainly does not make the best
impressions on visitors and tour
ists. Friends and neighbors of
townspeople in Alaska know
that the constant griping to be
heard here is closely akin to
that of the GI. Tile more the

B&PW To Sponsor
Concert Receptions
Juanita Evoritt, president of
the Seward Business & Profes
sional Women’s Club, announced
at the regular meeting Tuesday
night that the club has been
asked to find sponsors for the
receptions held after the four
concerts during the winter sea
son. The club will sponsor the
first concert reception and other
women's clubs will be asked to
take one of the following con
certs.
The finance committee pre
sented the year’s budget for
committees, which was accepted
and approved by the member
ship.
During the evening the names
of nine women were proposed
and accepted for membership,
which was a start toward the
club's goal of 80 members this
year.
Guest for the evening was
Mrs. Hazel Ward of the B&PW,
Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mrs. Ward
commented that the attendance
here is in larger proportion to
the membership than in her own
club, which the Seward women
found encouraging.
serviceman gripes the better he
feels.
Outsiders are inclined to take
the gripes of Alaskans about
their town, their life and the
country at face value, and re
turn to their own States entirely
unaware of the real fact, that
the true Alaskan shows his en
thusiasm and love for the coun
try in direct reversal of his lan
guage.
It might be well, therefore,
to keep our gripes, complaints
and criticisms of things local
to ourselves and tell the tourist
only the things he really wants
to hear—the wonders of Alaska.
