ITS TIME TO CALL A HALT!
A number of women members of the Seward Ath
letic Club have registered complaints against the gen
tlemanly (?) conduct of the High School boys who do
not seem to be good enough sports to relinquish the j
gymnasium during the women's practice hours.
Many adult members of the organization think it is
about time the Executive Committee of the Club takes
measures towards curbing the wilfull and offensive mis
demeanors of the students, who have been given free
use of the hall and accomodations, and in return have!
turned to damaging, breaking into lockers, forcing;
windows and doors, smoking and spitting in the hall, and j
molesting other gym classes while in session.
We would give the students one more chance and
if they continue the same tactics, we would forbid them!
future use of the hall. Either that or close the place up.
Possibly all the advice we hear about being prompt
is the bunk. Mayor Jimmie Walker of New York is not
orious for being late on all occasions, yet his salary
has just been raised almost 100 per cent
PROHIBITION DEATHS
In a series of articles recently published the Wash
ington Herald printed the names of 1,360 persons said
to have been killed as a result of violations of the pro
hibition laws in the United States.
This list included both law violators and enforce
ment officers, and purports to be the total of fatalities
recorded since the Volstead Act became effective, nearly
10 years ago.
Regardless of one’s views concerning prohibition,
it is deplorable that its enforcement should be accom
panied by such a loss of human life.
Our viewpoint is that Representative Schafer of
Wisconsin summarized the entire situation when he said,
last week in Washington; “Prohibition ushered in the I
age of corruption in temperance, disrespect for law and
contempt of the government. The constitution was
changed from charter rights and liberties into a crimi
nal statute book. How can people respect a constitution
that makes an act of intemperence a crime?”
The opinions and suggestions handed to Congress
the other day with reference to control (?) of the dry
law, clearly reveals what a failure it has been since
the prohibition plight has hovered over the land.
ADVERTISING IN 1930
The 240 members of the American Association of
Advertisers will buy space to the value of $206,000,000
during 1930 or $20,000,000 more than expenditures
in 1929, according to the president of the association.
This represents an increase of 11 per cent.
This announcement was made in connection with
the survey of business and industrial activities being
made at the suggestion of President Hoover, after con
ferring with leaders in the various basic industries.
It should be encouraging to the country at large
that the national advertisers have sufficient faith in
the soundness of our economic structure to press for
ward with increased vigor in their sales efforts for the
coming year. And it should be noted that those car
rying large1, consistent advertising are those who are
conducting the largest business
Some uplifters do us good; others do us good and
plenty.
The show staged by the Senate, too, is practically
“all talking.”

The following telegram, which
is self explanatory, was received
last week by the Seward Chamber
of Commerce from Col. Otto F.
Ohlson, general manager of the
Alaska Railroad, from Seattle:
“Bullock’s store in Los Angeles,
which last year sold $30,000,000
worth of merchandise, is consid
ering starting an Alaska Week
beginning February 24 and pro
pose to decorate their windows
and advertise Alaska products.
“Mr. Sawyer is there now and
states Sidney Laurence paintings!,
should be displayed but advises
there are not enough of them in
Los Angeles. He is calling for
lists and approximately the low
est prices on pictures, furs, bas
kets, ivory, totem poles, nugget
Lnwciry, necklaces, etc.., availa
ble for immendiate shipment to
Bullock’s on consignment.
“Please wire me what display
material and commodities are for |
sale which can be sent to Bul
lock’s on consignment to reach
Los Angeles February 18.”
FUNER’L SEME HELS i
E| JOHN GILLESPIE |
The funeral service for John
Gillespie, age 64, local resident
and pioneer of Alaska who pass
ed away three days ago following
a month’s illness, was undoubted
ly one of the most impressive in
years. The large attendance re
,r*» t'-’d the esteem in which the
departed was held.
Surrounded by many beautiful
floral offering, last respects were
paid following the service; he ap- !
peared to be merely slumbering
so natural and life-like was he.
A very large group of friends |
and acquaintances of John’s!
were at the chapel services and
at least 12 automobiles were in
the funeral cortege which wend
ed it’s way, slowly, to the Seward ;
Cemetery where interment was
made.
Rev. Reisner. who officiated
the services, delivered a
stirring eulogy; music was fur
nished by the Jesse Lee Home
choir.

FOR LANDING FIELDS
There are innumerable fine
airplane landing fields in and
about Seward. This was evident
in the landings made here Sat
urday by Pilot Matt Neimenen, of
the Alaska Airways. First he
lit atop ice covered Bear Lake,
near Woodrow; then later, at
the former field next to the ra
dio station. He landed perfectly
each time skiing along, after
hitting the ice, for but short
distances. In taking off he soar
ed away, it seemed, almost as
he gained fair momentum.
