TOWN GRAVE DIGGERS
We feel rather mean today; sore because we have
just learned a local business house which constantly
derides those who send Outside for merchandise in
stead of patronizing home industry, has sent out for
a small printing job because they could save $1.50.
Feeling sore we generally lay off writing editorials
but this we must get off our 48 chest:
In nearly every community may be found a num
ber of persons who consider themselves leading citi
zens, but who in truth are helping to dig a grave for
their town.
They do it through their failure to support the in
stitutions which make the town what it is. They do it
by sending away for merchandise which might be
bought with equal advantage at home. They do it fre
quently through thoughtlessness, but ofter through
sheer disregard for the welfare of the community of
which they are a part.
The doctrine of buying at home is not advanced
solely in the interest of our self because we did not get
that small printing job, nor in the interest of individ
ual merchants. It is advocated because every citizen j
of a town is to a certain extent dependent upon every
other citizen for his own prosperity. Business men
are as greatly at fault as anyone else in the matter of j
out-of-town trading.
If the shoe dealer sends away for his automobile
tires, and the automobile man sends awray for his fur
niture, and the latter sends away for his clothing, and
so on, how can they expect to build local prosperity?
All the fine talk about civic pride that we may in
dulge in will never make a town, so long as the life
blood of the community—the cold cash—is spent else
where.
Seward would, perhaps, grow at least 25 per cent
in the year providing all this money sent Outside was
diverted into the local marts. If our neighbors prosper,
all benefit. We hope these thoughts are accepted in
the spirit they are written, without meaning offense.
We feel better now, thank you.

QUEEN OF NORTH !
REIGNS HI 010
KEY IN WESTWARD j
WHOLE FAMILY ON FOX ISLAND I
ARE SELF-TAUGHT RADIO
OPERATORS
Among radio men she is known |
as “The Queen of the North” and g
she reigns at her key on Fox Island : §
near Sand Point. Her name is Lilly |
Osterbaek and she is one of a |
whole family of raido operators |
who arc self-taught and who are |
in daily comunication with ships |
of the North sees. Frequently they |
talk with far-distant stations in l
Souh America and Australia
Word of the remarkable family §
is brought to Seward bv Charles |
Griffing, radio operator of the SS. |
Starr, now in port. In addition to \
Mr. Osterbaek, head of the family j
there are three girls and two boys ! |
who can handle the key. In the §
gossip of the air waves in the hours |
when business is slack it is told |
that Miss Lilly is a finished ex- §
pert and has a radio license. She J
has recently talked to New Zea- j |
land. She checks on tl*e time with |
the operators on the boats and
keeps ships informed of each *
other’s positions.
They are all self-instructed fol- i
lowing the lead of the father who |
learned the code and in turn in- J
structed the children. Walter Os- J
terback is an arrival in Seward j •
waiting for a boat. Aside from their i
radio activities the family is en- |
gaged in blue fox farming at which {
they have been very successful.
Mrs. Charles Hubley of Unga who
underwent an operation at the
Seward General Hospital a few
days ago is reported to be doin;T
nicely.
There is a persistent rumor in
the city that about December 1
operations at the Latouche mines
will cease; that many of the
150 people now there will be
moving to Seward and elsewhere.
