LIBRARY TO OPEN NEXT
WEEK
Remodelling and renovating!
in the Seward Community Li
brary has been delayed by the
flu epidemic, so that the work •
next week. It will probably be
reopened March 31.
Control of the feet, as well as
the tongue, will keep you out of j
a lot of the wrong places.
SAFETY CONSCIOUS?
Although the Kenui Penin
sula started the new year with
a train wreck and a plane
crash in which two men were
severely injured, and a trainman
hurt, the superstition oJ' a bad
beginning has not held true in
the 80 days since. Nor were
there any serious accidents pre
vious to that this winter.
In Seward, in spite of the long
spell of icy streets there has
been only one case of broken
bones sustained from falls on the
ice—and that was suffered lest
week by an Outsider. People
have accustomed themselves to
walking carefully on the ice or
wearing creepers. Not that there
have not been many falls, but
no injuries reported.
The worst sufferers from the
ice have been numerous cars
that are to be seen wearing
dents in doors and fenders.
Except for the one fire at the
Elks Club, with an approximate
$13,000 damage, which was
caused by a mechanical failure,
the fire department has been
undisturbed for weeks.
Even highway accidents have
been at minimum this year. It
makes ene wonder if radio, mag
azine and personal safety cam
paigns are getting resuits, or
whether Sewardites are just cau
tious. At any rate, the city has j
a good record for the first quar
ter of 1951.

Flu Bug Defied
By "Twins"
The flu bug bit at a very un
furl unate time for two seniors
of Seward High. Today is their
birthday and a celebration is
somewhat impaired by the epi
demic that closed the schools
! this week.
Bill Erwin and Margaret Lind
sey were born in Seward on the
same day eighteen years ago and
only two hours apart. They
started school at the same time,
and are the only members of the
graduating class who have gone
from the first grade through
high school in Seward.
J a c k i e Webb would have
made a third but he left school
a few weeks ago.
Seniors tell Margaret that at
last Bill has something that she
cannot share—he got his draft
registration card today.

I’d Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
a suit has been filed by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other We3t
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this
action, have asked per
tinent questions. We be
lieve these questions
should be answered for
everyone. We take this
way of doing so. If you
have a question, write:
“I’d Like to Know”
225 Bush Street,
San Francisco 20
“Would breaking up big oil companies affect national defense?"
Mrs. Marie-Louise Auer, Pasadena housewife, writes: It seems to me like a
bad time to be tampering with our industries, as the antitrust lawyers want to do.
Or does it matter? Would breaking up big oil
companies affect national defense?”
Here at Standard, one of the seven West- panies in the business at all times. We
ern oil companies under attack, we see believe we serve you well. But let's con
clear public benefit in having big com- sider now just “bigness” and defense:
Today, military needs come
first. Just recently, need for
aviation gasolines jumped
275% in the West alone. Big
oil companies supplied it.
Next: industry’s demands.
You know how industrial
output keyed U.S. strength
in World War II. It takes big
companies to meet big needs.
Company bigness also means
big-scalc research, improved
products. Example: oils de
veloped by Standard which
tripled range of U. S. subs.
For hard jobs, the U. S. uses
our bigness and integration.
Today, our U.S. projects in
clude atomic research and a
synthetic rubber plant.
Our taxes also aid defense.
As one big company, we paid
over $95,000,000 last year,
more than we would pay as
several smaller companies.
Meanwhile, bigness and inte
gration enable us to keep on
supplying products you need.
Isn’t this what you want from
your oil company?
