ucatlon for their own children
as well as carrying part of the
burden for rural residents.
The sales tax was set up in
Seward with the Idea of dis
tributing the tax load among the
many transient and short term
residents of the city, who would
not ordinarily be paying any
direct tax on income or property
in the city, and for the rural
residents whose children attend
Seward schools. Surely, no par
ent will argue that he has no
responsibility toward the school
when he realizes that the Ter
ritory does not take care of the
entire cost of educating his child.
As a matter of protection for
themselves, if nothing more,
business men should see the rea
soning behind a total collection
of sales tax, and make no dis
tinction between local and out
of town residents.

A MEDITATION
(in Seward, Alaska)
For water falls that rush and
roar
For winged birds that sing and
soar
For mountain peaks with beauty
rare
For pine trees and grasses
everywhere
For quiet, peaceful shady nooks
For sunshine too, and rest and
books
For home and loved ones trea
sured, too
Dear God in Heaven we do thank
you.
For contrast of beauty of land
and sea
For planes to serve both you and
me
For senses keen to taste and
smell
For hearing and seeing and
being well
For joys of earth and "heaven,
too
For clouds and sky sometimes so
blue
For nil these gifts from heaven
above
Reveals God's bounty and Uis
love.
—Sarah May Garrett

POET AWAY FROM HOME
Dear Seward Record,
Having heard of your request
for unknown poets of Seward to
take advantage of your Poet’s
Corner, and write a bit of poetry
for it, I am taking this oppor
tunity of making myself known,
my poetry that is, not me. I
would like to remain anonymous
for personal reasons, if it would
not hinder you. Gentlemen, my
poem:
Me? Did you say me?
Write poetry? What a laugh!
Me? Why I’ve never even
rhymed mouse with cat!
Well, maybe I could write
something.
Let’s see. What in the world
Could I write about? Ships?
Trees and the
Beauties of nature? Me? Who
won’t even
Plant a garden? I give up.
Guess that I'm a complete
failure in the
Line of poetry. Nothing rhymes
With nothing else. Don’t even
have a complete
Thought expressed in an’s and
is’s.
Guess me and poetry just ain’t
made for each other.
Allan Poe, Tennyson, Kipling.
and all the rest
Will just have to occupy the
shelf alone . . .
I ain’t no poetess.
—A Seward ite
Away from Home.

Why gasoline
is a real bargain
today
TWO fuCtS lie behind the low price you pay for
gasoline: oilcompaniesworkconstantly through
research to improve products and keep prices
low, and they compete intensely for your patron
age. That’s why Standard opened the West’s
first petroleum research laboratory 32 years
ago—and invests about $6 million annually in
research today.
One result you see here. Thanks to com
petition, gasoline prices (aside from taxes)
have risen only 20% since 1925... less than
half as much as practically anything else
you buy. But there have been other bene
fits for you, too. Research, motivated by
competition, has resulted in a steadily im
proving gasoline. Two gallons of modern
gasoline do the work that required three
in 1926, and this improvement has paved ■
the way for lighter, much more efficient
car engines that give you more power,
performance and economy. Competition
and research have led to better gas station
service, as well, and to the world-wide
search that has discovered the largest
known oil reserves in America’s history.
Last year alone, Standard Oil Company of
California invested $225 million in explora
tion, new oil wells, and improved facilities
to keep pace with our competition. The net
result to you is better gasoline at prices
which make it one of the real bargains in
your family budget.
