The Chamber of Commerce
was asked this week to voice
the feeling of the people by sup
porting tiie city council in any
thing they can do on the tele
phone rate raise.
The present city council is
one of the most harrassed of any
for a long time. It seems as
though one difficulty after an
other has confronted our young
Mayor and his council. Now it
is the deliberate flounting of
a city franchise ordinance by
the Alaska Telephone Corpora
tion.
In obedience to public opin
ion the city council in April
refused application by the com
pany for a raise in rates until
such time as there should be an
appreciable improvement in the
service and extension of lines
to outlying, areas within the
city limits.
An agreement was signed in
good faith, an ordinance giving
the comnany the right to oper
ate in Seward and also to use
city power poles. Now, in total
disregard of contract, franchise
or public hearing and Council
action the rate raise has been
put into effect.
The Council will be asked
what steps have been taken to
enforce the franchise agreement.
It is ro more than fair for the

people of Seward to stand be
hind their council, even to the
point of going without for a
while, if necessary, in order to
straighten this matter up in
an orderly manner. After all,
if a franchise is no good, and an
ordinance is treated as a scrap
of paper, why go to all the
trouble of arranging such con
tracts in the first place? The
present situation sets a prece
dent for future government.

Reporter's Notebook
Henry Mead, publisher of the
Seward (Nebraska) Independent
says, “Reports from our delega
tion rave about your generous
hospitality.” Why sure!
Coach Don Dalberg left Sat
urday for the summer. He was
anxious to get home to Idaho
to see his older brother gradu
ate from the University. He said
that his brother had been out
of high school for 25 years be
fore he decided to go on to col
lege.
Betty Hoogland is back home
from school.
Sharon Dyer is also back for
the summer. By the time all
these young students are home
for summer vacation, things
Should liven up considerably
around the old town.
“Scotty” McPherson suffered
a heart attack at about 11 a.m.
Friday. He had just come off
a 10-hour shift on the dock and
was still down town. He was
taken to the hospital in the am
bulance, and seemed slightly
improved upon arrivals
Roy Bryson and Jim Aylen
went across Cook Inlet in search
of brown bear last week. They
came home Monday with one
each. Roy's was a nine-footer.
Heavy equipment broke thru
the bridge at Clear Creek early
this week. Inquiries from this
office elicited no information
as to the possible extent of re
pair or replacement of the
bridge.
We also asked whether the
fine topping on the road means
that black top will begin soon,
but were told that it depends
upon tire contractor and the
weather. It is “presumed” how
ever. that the bla"'? topping is
to begin at the city line soon.

Members of the Junior Wo
mens Club and guests enjoyed
the annual club banquet Sunday,
June 7, at the Legion Club.
Toastmistress for the evening
was Margie Lovett, outgoing
president. Mrs. Lovett also in
stalled new officers as part of
the program. Wilma Tish and
Ruth Brown gave a presentation
and Philip Faulkner entertained
with a couple of his popular
piano solos.
New officers are president,
Audrey Anthony; vice president,
June Jones: secretary, Ruth
Brown; and treasurer, Jean
Thompson.
It might not be the proper
thing to brag but who ever
heard of a man catching a big
fish and then sneaking home
up the alley.
Audrey Denton
Graduates from
School to Marriage
Audrey Denton, pretty young
graduate in the class of ’53,
married Russell Mavis in a quiet
home ceremony May 31. The
wedding was in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Don Sanders,
former classmates. Rev. Charles
Malin read the service.
The bride wore a suit of navy
blue with white accessories. She
carried a bouquet of pink roses
on a white Bible. Nola Sanders,
her matron of honor, wore a
light blue suit with white ac
cessories and flowers. Charles
Barr was best man.
After the v/edding the bridal
couple went to Wolf Trail Lodge
for a brief honeymoon.
Russ Mavis is popular in town
as a basketball referee. He is
a veteran, serving in the U.S.
Marine Corps during the war.
He has been in Seward about
a year.
Audrey first came to Seward
in 1945 with her parents, but
was Outside for two years. Then
she came back and attended the
last three years of high school
here, graduating last month. She
is the first of this year's gradu
ates to be married.

You can add many hours of life to your tractor’s
track-roller bearings if you lubricate them regular
ly with RPM Tractor Roller Lubricant. It flows
evenly to all bearing surfaces and coats them with
a tough, wear-resisting film that stays on even in
sidehill operation. It also forms a tight seal at bear
ing edges that helps keep out dirt, mud, and water.
RPM Tractor Roller Lubricant comes in three
grades for Caterpillars to meet all operating con
ditions, and in a special A.C. Type for Allis-Chal
mers. Ask us to deliver you a supply today.
