NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
As the New Year is just around the corner, it is time for
everyone including the Newspaper Editors and others to make
resolutions mending their ways and promising themselves and
others that they will make a better job of their activities in the
year ahead.
Topping the list of our resolutions is a promise to try and
get out a better paper each week, as the New Year progresses
so that come New Years 1956, Seward will be enjoying one of
the best papers in the Territory and also one of the best it has
ever had.
In every enterprise it involves a certain amount of co-opera
tion with other folks and as part of our Number One resolution
we should like to reaffirm our desire to co-operate, with all mem
bers and organizations of the community, so that we will have
a well rounded news coverage which will be something in which
the community as well as we ourselves can take pride.
In as much as the newspaper, like many another facility of
the small towns of Alaska, is lacking in many of the conveniences
and amenities which are considered a natural part of communities
“outside,” the success of our resolution Number One is conditional
upon the co-operation we receive as well as that which we
extend.
We have, in the past several weeks, become increasingly
aware of the lack of news of the “little people” of the community
who make up the true heart of the small town. That is to say,
we have had little or no news about the Smiths and Joneses who
are the people we desire to make our newspaper serve.
This is where you come in, "'because, collectively, you cover
the activities of the town, the biwlis, weddings, 4-II Clubs, lodges,
deaths, parties pnd other “little” news. These items, we believe,
ar the essence of the small newspaper: they are things that folks
like to know about whether thev are living here, plan to move
here, or have lived here in the past.
Because the staff of the newspaper for the time being con
sists of two people, it is impossible for us to be everywhere, or
chase down ever)' little lead which may come our way—there just
aren’t enough hours in a day.
We would like to ask that at the top of your list you make
your Number One Resolution a pledge of co-operation to make
your newspaper one of the best in the Territory, and the best I
Seward hps ever bad. ^ ,
Seward faces some crucial tests of its economy and will to
survive, in the months ahead, and a strong newspaper can do
much to help in the fight for survival. With your help we can
win the fight, to not only keep our town from falling into eco:
nomic doldrums, but can go on to develop its full potential as
one of the finest ports in Alaska and one of the real comers among
the cities of the territory.

see how clear-span construction
. . MAKES EVERY INCH OF SPACE USABLE!
You don’t pay for an inch of waste space when you erect a Butler
steel building. Clear-span interiors and straight sidewalls make all
floor space usable. No matter whether you use a Butler building as
a factory, warehouse, or store, there are no posts to limit arrange
ment of machinery or merchandise.
Weather-tight, fire-safe Butler buildings, with galvanized or alu
I minum covering, require practically no maintenance. Insurance rates
are low. You can get clear-span widths up to 70 feet in many lengths.
Let us show you a new Butler building now in use. See how it
can fit your business. Use your own building plan or if you prefer
our service can include everything from foundation to insulation.
