In tlio few short weeks we have been around Seward we
have heard many folks’ ideas on what they thought a Seward
newspaper should contain and how it should be run. Now
we are going to have our day, as every dog must, and we
hope that it meets with you approval.
First of all, we believe that a newspaper should be a ser
vice business in the very finest sense of the word. It should
always be ready to serve, in whatever capacity it can, to im
prove the community, or area it serves and it should work long
and hard to tell the story of the people it serves.
It is our hope as the weeks go by that the Seward Sea
port Record will become “our paper" when spoken of by the
people of Seward. That is, we hope that the people will feel
and act as if they owned the newspaper as if it was being pub
lished for the express purpose of telling what a fine place
Seward is and that it will be used to make Seward even better.
One of the major assets of any individual is his conscience
and so it is, that a newspaper acting as a conscience for the
community as a whole can be an asset, though like our con
science, it sometimes tells us things we rather forget or not
admit. The conscience keeps us in line and makes us the
sort of people God would have us to be, it is an instrument for
good and though it may condemn us it has our best interests
at heart.
We hope as each successive issue joins this first that the
newspaper will become Seward’s best friend, always willing
to help in time of need, quick to acknowledge a good deed
done a partner in the progress of the area.
Except for the chance that Jessen’s Weekly used it first
we might never have seen a little verse which we think should
tell the story of the kind of newspaper we hope to be. We
reprint it here:
“For the cause that lacks assistance;
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the future in the distance.
And the good we can do.”
THE ROMANCE OF SPICES BY WEBB
i----■ -1
Poppor — ihv H'orW*
Most Popular Spiro!
There’s a shaker of ground
black pepper on every dining
table. The United States con
sumes about 35,000,000 pounds a
year. It is so familiar a spice,
that many people forget its fresh
and pungent flavor. Many of our
favorite dishes depend on pepper
for verve and character.
A golden rarebit would be
bland 'without a sprinkling of
spicy pepper. Cream soups would
be pallid and uninteresting.
Scrambled eggs would be taste
less and dull. And chicken pie
would not attain its full majesty
without pepper’s sharpness.
Pepper, grown in India, is an
ancient and honorable spice. It
khas influenced the
destinies of men
and nations for cen
_A turies. The nation
that controls the
pepper market con
trols the world!
Columbus discov
ered America be
was searching for a
sea route to India. Vasco da
Gama wrested the pepper mar
ket from Genoa and Venice for
his native Portugal when he
sailed around the Cape of Good
Hope.
In our own country, history
is inseparably linked with the
spice. The great fortunes made
by the New England traders
were largely founded on the
spice trade. The pepper tax rep
resented five percent of young
America’s total income for about
fifty years!
The United States, in its early
years, wedged its way into the
Dutch monopoly of pepper. To
day, we are the world center of
the spice trade.
The next time you savor the
piquant flavor of fresh black
pepper, remember that you are
not only using the world’s most
popular spice, you are using one
of the world’s oldest, most re
spected and most romantic sea

Valdez Highway Cut
By Glacial Runoff
Melting glacier waters washed
out 150 feet of the Richardson high
way near Valdez last Friday, strand
ing tourists and Valdez bound
travelers on the north side of the
washout.
According to the Anchorage
Times, a breeches buoy was hast
Ily rigged, and used to ferry some
40 passengers across the stream.
Small boats were 'brought to the
scene, and used to move the rest
of the travelers over.
It. Is reported that the Alaska
Steamship Company held Its steam
er Baranof for several hours until
31 of its tourists could be ferried
over and so brought back aboard.
We hear from Whittier that Phil
Nicholas, former Street Superin
tendent, is now working at the
Army port.
