true of the stretch of road be
tween Portage and Seward.
“Since no credit is given in the
accounts of the railroad for those
operations which are required
by our defense installations, it
has been necessary to absorb
these losses from tbe overall op
erating revenues." This accounts
in great measure for the report
ed losses by the railroad, and
the tremendous savings which
Browne, the Port Commission,
and the News claims would be
made by eliminating the line.
We are not trying to prevent
a port facility in Anchorage, but
we do not want it to happen at
the cost of our very economic
life. Neither, we believe, do most
•of the people of Anchorage who
are willing to live and let live.

Editorial
IT COSTS MONEY TO RAISE
A FAMILY. Nobody is going to
dispute that statement. But, it
also costs money to raise a city.
Two years ago Seward voters
bonded themselves for additional
power plant equipment. At the
time, everybody thought the new
plant would be sufficient for at
least five years. Now, we find
that it is not.
This is no fault of the Utility
Board, not of the people who
did not foresee rapid growth for
our city. At the time, it was just
not in the cards. There would
have been no point in attempting
to install equipment that would
not be needed. Let’s not allow
criticism of past years to inter
fere with development of our fu
ture growth and economy.
Construction of 100 new hous
ing units, and many individually
owned homes within the city
limits and on its fringe area, not
to mention the rapid building
program in Forest Acres, would
alone make the need for more
power. In addition to these, the
new dock and railroad offices
will need power, and plenty of
it. Residents building along the
highway have applied for REA.

getting their loan, but the only

purchased from Seward.
We have begun to think con
structively, in terms of a future
for Seward. The coming bond
issue for additional power equip
ment is an important issue. It is
as necessary as the bread and
butter, or the fuel oil going into
our homes every day, and we
should not hesitate for a moment
to pass this bond issue.
It is not necessary to quote
figures in an attempt to prove
the need. If figures must be had
to convince anyone, they can be
had by a call upon City Mana
ger O'Hara. The fact remains
that in order to grow and to keep
new families coming into Sew
ard, we must have more power.
Let’s get at it!
SUMMER NIGHT
The dimness that reaches out
from the sky
Is pierced by the brilliance that
rims the stars—
Venus is flirting—and so am I—
With the Man in the Moon,
and Mars.
—Mary Ellen White
HO HUM
Ze birds is in ze willow tree
Too lazy for to hop
Ze little clouds am sailing high
Too languorous to drop.
Ze breeze is blowin’ softly by ■
Too tired the leaves to raise
An’ I’m as lazy as ’em all
These early, changin’ days.
’S too much move to turn a page
Or write a word of lesson
Too much work to study more 'n
What I get by guessin’.
Oh gee, I wisht I c’d pertend
Ut teacher wasn’t there
She makes me weak to wa’cher
When spring fever’s in ze air.
—Mary Ellen White
GHOSTS
A grave-yard, dark against the
sky,
A lonely lad a-strolling by.
A gleaming moon with brililant
light
Making ghostly all the night.
A little dog a’hanging near
Responding to his master’s fear,
Who, just to show he doesn’t
care
Whistles gay and merry air.
But let one owl begin to call,
Let one unlooked for shadow
fall,
Let just one yip come from the
pup
And watch him eat the distance
up.

From the West's first successful oil wells
of 1879, Standard’s drilling operations
have stretched all over the world—even
in ocean depths 4 miles off shore—to get
the oil which you and our friends in other
free nations need more and more.
Gasoline was a waste product in Standard’s
first refinery of 1879, but it’s king today.
We’ve developed fuels that made better
engines possible, used research tools like
the chassis dynamometer (below) to bring
you today’s top gasolines.
Before horses save way to horsepower,
Standard’s wagons of the ’80’s brought
only kerosene, harness oil and axle grease
to Western farms. Now our insecticides,
weed-killers, fertilizers help increase crop
yields and add to your food supply.
First steel tanker in the Pacific, Standard’s
SS George Loomis back in 1888 began help
ing us put oil where you need it. Today
26 tankers, 3,748 miles of pipe line, thou
sands of tank trucks serve your oil needs
everywhere in the West, Alaska, Hawaii.
World's first gas station was opened by
Standard in 1907 at Seattle, Washington.
Since then, we’ve pioneered the car care
you enjoy now—windshield cleaning,
tire, battery, lubrication, even “Chevron
matic” credit cards to save you time.
