HOUSING MANAGER
APPEALS TO TENANTS
FOR CLEANUP
H. E. Barr, newly appointed
manager of the Seward Housing
Area makes a personal appeal
to all tenants of the area. He
has the unanimous support of
Lawrence Whitmore, Commis
sioner, and the city council in
his efforts to improve conditions
in the Area.
Mr. Barr has issued the fol
lowing statement:
“The Housing Area has been
provided by the City of Seward
as a low rental project for the
convenience of those unable to
secure other housing facilities.
By an agreement with the U. S.
Army, Service Personnel and
veterans families have priority
on housing.”
“In order to continue main
taining this project it is impera
tive that we have cooperaton
and help.
“For some time the Housing
Area has been an eye sore to the
residents of Seward who have
demanded that the area be
cleaned up and maintained in
such a manner that the city will
not be ashamed for visitors and
future residents to see it. We are

requesting, therefore, that the
yard of each unit be cleaned up
by each respective renter. A
city truck will pick up all refuse
so collected on August 15.
‘‘Quite extensive damage has
been done to city property by
children. Windows broken by
throwing of rocks, walking and
playing on roofs, and destruction
of furniture in general is evi
dent. The child and his acts are
the full responsobility of the
parents. They will be required
to pay for any damage done,
and if continued, the family will
be ordered to vacate the prem
ises as there are many good
families in need of housing.
“Tiie management and the city
authorities appreciate the efforts
of those families who have work
ed so dilligently to make their
individual unts clean and cheer
ful. many of them at their own
expense. There arc many ten
ants, however, who make no ef
fort to improve their surround
ings and allow the outside of
the premises to accumulate trash
and become unsightly.
“Come on. Housing Area resi
dents, let’s show Seward that
the outside of the buildings can
be as clean as the character of
those living inside. Yes, the city
will do its part. Any problems
that you have relating to the
area should be brought to the
attention of the manager in
Building No. 22. Your coopera
tion will be appreciated.”

Housing Manager

Aviation Safety
Discussions

ACCIDENT RATES
There are two basic types of ac
cidents which involve pilot error.
1. Those due to ignorance and poor
training, and 2. Those due to care
less and reckless flying.
Since the largest part of accident
groups involve pilot error, there is
no reason why proper safety cam
paigns should not reduce accident
rates.
The problem of careless and
reckless flying is very similar to
that of automobile safety on high
ways. The pilot's own safety, and
his passengers, will be increased
very much if he will always hold
in mind:
1. The passenger’s safety is my
re ponsibility.
2. My passenger is too ignorant,
aviation-wise, to waive my respon
sibility.
3. People on the ground can place
their' trust in no person but me to
avoid their endangerment.
4. Courtesy and consideration of
the rights of others are the best
rules of the road and the air.
ACCIDENT STATISTICS
The Alaskan accident rate is
about ten times the National avei
age based on accidents per pilot.
How much more Alaskan pilots
fly than Stateside pilots do is not a
matter ol record.
Or. a rate “per airplane" basis,
in 1949, Alaska compared very fa
vorably with states which had ap
proximately tlie same number of
airplanes. The June 1, 1951 CAB
summary for the calendar year 1950
shows the following numbers of ac
cidents:
Alaska 5 fatal, 85 non-fatal; Ida
ho 3 fatal. 29 non-fatala Maine 0
fatal, 29 non-fatal: Mississippi 3
fatal. 18 non-fatal; New Mexico 3
fatal, 35 non-fatal: South Carolina
4 fatal, 24 non-fatal; Utah 2 fatal,
18 non-fatal.
The states listed abovc have ap
proximately the same number of
airplanes as Alaska. Thus, the new
est report deprives us of the only
yardstick we could dig up to show
an accident rate in Alaska which
was not too unfavorable.
