Editorial
Do you have c h i 1 d r o n in
school? Will you have grand
children in school? Are you in
terested in the education of
Seward children? Do you care
to see where your school tax
dollar is spent?
These are some of the items
of vital importance to the par
ents and taxpayers of this and
any city. Many parents never
step inside the school building
unless their children get into
dii'iiculties, or to see a school
play. They do not know the
li hers. They know nothing of
(in' operation of the school sys
t m. l’he\ are unaware of the
fact that school environment and
standards are reflected in th ir
hi.me by the conduct of the

life.
Seme parents have m t the
te. hers u.ui r whose influence
the ir children spend the greater

seen the bright cheerful atmo.
phi re surrounding students, es
pee i ally in the new building.
They have come to understand
that teachers ■ have problems
even with the best if young
sters, and are trying to work
it out together on a mutual basis.
This is part of the reason for
the Parent Teachers Association.
It is exactly what the name im
plies—an organization of both
parents and teachers getting to
gether to work for the best in
terests of every child.
1 hi re is a small monetary fee
for the privilege of belonging
to the Association. For SI.00 per
year per parent the group can
continue to grow and help in
the educational program. Of the
actual benefits received by Sew
ard schools from activities of
P-TA we will speak at a later
date.
Tills week every school ■ child
took home an invitation to j >in
the P-TA. It is hoped that every
parent will respond to the call,
not only with dollars but with
personal attendance at the next
meeting.

THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE HAS SEEN
DISPATCHED TO GOV. GRUENIKG:
"A jurisdictional dispute threatens all shipping in the
port of Seattle including Alaska. It has already halted cargo
work on two Coastwise steamers: the North Beacon and the
James D Lick. Involved are the AFL ILA Longshore Fore
men and a group of ILA foremen alleged to have formed a
-new union known as the Ship and Dock Foremens Union.
"The ILA Foremens Union have served notice upon em
ployers of foremen that certain restrictions with respect to
the employment of their foremen not heretofore in effect
will be imposed upon the employer by the ILA. Such
restrictions, if put into effect by the employer, would result
in the discharge or denial of future employment to certain
foremen regularly employed on the Seattle waterfront.
"Employers have been informed by the ILA that unless
compliance can be fully effected pickets will be posted
against all ships and terminals as evidenced by the picketing
and stopping of work on the Ames Terminal as well as on
the steamers James Lick and North Beacon. Alaska Steam
ship Company has been advised by the president ot the ILA
Foremens Union that pickets will be placed at the gate on
Pier 42 Ly noon, Thursday, November 13, if other than
currently cleared ILA foremen arc employed by fhe
company. The ILA is sapperied by the AFL and the Snip
ard Dock Foremens Union is supported by the ILWU.
Future sailings are indefinite. Appeals have been made to
local civic groups and unions.
"We urgently request your immediate assistance in
resolving this problem.

this. All the experts who have
gone to Washington to testify
as to the situation realize this.
WE MUST GET THE “HIGH
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT OF
FICIALS” TO REALIZE IT
TOO. The 17th of November
gives us our opportunity to pre
sent our cause. We cannot afford
to miss it. The Alaska Railroad
is giving us an unequalled rate.
They are running a train from
Seward to Anchorage, leaving
here at seven a.m., meeting us
at the station and taking us to
lunch at their expense,—return
ing the same day by leaving
Anchorage at six p.m.,—and all
for four dollars. In fact, children
under five arc free, while from
five to twelve go for two dol
la rs.
We want you to go with us.
Help us to present this cause,
which we feel in all honesty to
be the best course for our gov
ernment to follow. We are not
trying to pressurize. We are
simple, honestly, presenting our
opinion in the traditional Am
erican way. If you think the way
we do on this matter, we invite
you to join us that our united
efforts may bear fruit.
