SEWARD COOPERATION IS SOUGHT
The following article, from the citizens of Kenai
peninsula, and addressed to the Gateway, is sell-explan
atory:
To the Editor of The Seward Gateway:
“In regard to the petition requesting radical changes respecting
our present laws on bear it must not be thought that we are attempt
ing to embarrass the Alaska Game Commission in enforcement of
game regulations.
“In fact, we are but exercising our legal rights in appealing di
rect to officials in charge of this particular judicial department. Lo
cal game wardens, as such, are in a proper sense only executives
with the prescribed duty of enforcing such statutes as may be enact
ed. and as such, they can have no authority in changing or abolishing
any undesirable regulation. Hence, in appealing direct to proper
authorities we are utilizing correct methods of approach, and in ad
dition, we are employing one of the fundamental privileges of our
democratic institution.
“It is true that many persons who sign such petitions may have
little personal knowledge of statements contained therein, yet such
residents cannot be legally denied such rights. Further, such signers
have legal right to accept testimony in good faith from those who
possess such knowledge.
“It is also true that we, as Alaskans, should welcome the outside
visiting sportsmen with open arms, though we believe he can scarcely
be in a position to dictate our game laws or other legislation. We feel
sure that residents possess sufficient knowledge of the actual re
sources of the Territory as to be aware that its destiny is not depen
dent upon the tourist. This is not said with the intention of dis
couraging, or depreciating, the value of such revenue but rather
from irresponsible boosting. The prosperity of any country upon such
inflational methods can be but short lived and any permanent pro
gress can result only from the applied activities and common sense
of its residents.
R. B. Gray, Homer, Alaska.”
The petition mentioned above by Mr. Gray will be
found on another page of this issue.
The people of Seward should solidly support
principles contained in this petition from residents of
Kenai peninsula; the majority o fthose enterprising cit
izens are in accord on this vital matter, The Gateway’s
stand was long ago made known and is in line with the
desires of the citizens in those outlying communities.
Being an expression from the majority it goes with
out saying the matter should at least be given a hear
ing; whether it will, or not, remains to be seen.
Freedom in the United States consists principally
in the freedom to cuss because we have so little freedom.

FLUE Id HIE SCHOOL
Again showing their public spir- j
itness and initiative, at yester
day’s meeting of the American
Legion Auxiliary of Seward, held
at the residence of Mrs. Wey
brecht, members decided to do
nate a flag-pole and flag to the
Seward public school.
The announcement of a few
days ago in which it was report
ed the local new school had no
pole or flag, was the signal for
the Auxiliary to take the matter
up immediately with the above
mentioned action.
A committee has been appoint
ed; a 60-foot pole is to be select- i
cd, and a flag appropriate in size,
which is assurance Old Glory
will shortly be proudly waving
over school and grounds.
It is also announced that the
Seward Post' today expressed their
desire to co-operate with the Aux- i
diary and to that end are working j
with the committee.
A STUCCO TOWN
The residence of Mr. and Mrs. 1
Wayne Blue is being stuccoed by j
Gerhardt Johnson, local contractor, I
and builder of the splendid educa- 1
tional edifice, the William H. Sew- !
ard school. The house next to the
large Blue residence which is also
the property of Mr. Blue, is also
being stuccoed.
PURCHASE TOWN SEDAN
One of the new Ford Town Se- j
dans arrived on the Admiral Evans |
day before yesterday, for Miss Syl- ;
via Sexton. The car was ordered
thru the local agency, the Seward
Machine Shop, and is a “beauty”!
| in* every sense of the word. The i
spacious interior is upholstered in !
mohair and the exterior is finished
in a new color which presents an
. exceedingly pleasing appearance,
jand it can safely be said that any
| motor enthusiast would be proud
'to own such a machine.
THEATRE NEWS
Movie plays of American soldiers
and French girls, during the war,
and after, in France, have been
j served up to the public from every
imaginable angle. At least there
has come a new setting, that of the
beautiful Rhineland where the
American occupational army was
quartered after the Armistice. The
play at the Liberty tonight has to
do with three virile privates in
I their affairs and escapades with
German girls. It is said to be an in
teiesting story, with many new
comedy complications.
