LESSONS WELL LEARNED
Not only Seward’s boydom but the older
inhabitants as well, are looking forward to
the opening of the local baseball season.
The keen local interest displayed in this
wholesome sport is an encouraging sign.
With regard to the boys it is likely that,
the lessons of good sportmanship and of
self-control taught on the ball diamond of
Seward will stand the youngsters in hand
for the rest of their lives. <
MOWING LAWNS IN APRIL
Mowing lawns in Seward during the past
month has been a common sight to local in
habitants but one which would create much
consternation to those, especially, who live
in the middle west and north eastern states
and who only hear of Alaska in ice-houses,
shivering terms.
TOWN FIRES VS FOREST FIRES
Why does such a large part of the public
become so excited over the clanging of a
gong or the shriek of a siren announcing a
fire in town or city, and only idly wonders
why a heavy smoke pall blankets many sec
tions of the country during the summer sea
son?
Why does the average individual not in
quire with the same concern regarding the
causes of destructive forest fires as he does
about the causes of a tow n or city fire that
does only a fractional part of the damage?
Why does the average individual in a for
est region not leei more keenly ms respon
sibilities as a citizen, first to prevent des
tructive forest fires and, second to help
control them; whereas, if a fire occurred
in town he would be the first to grab a buc
ket of water and mount the ladder?
Forestry officials are now at Lawing
where special instructions in fighting for
est fires will be given the guards who will
be stationed this season in this district Citi
zens of this region have been warned for
months that the forest fire outlook for this
year is bad owing to mild weather which
prevailed throughout the entire winter.
It is the duty of every citiezn, when he
enters the confines of the Chugach National
Forest, never to forget for one moment, to
use every measure of precaution to safe
guard against fire from spreading. Let’s
be extra careful this year!
GOODNESS GONE AMUCK
Now it is being proposed that the feder
al government shall go into the business of
.censoring moving pictures! Two bills to
that end have been introduced to congress.
Men who would shy at government own
ership or operation of natural resources
such as oil, power, shipping, transportation,
are seriously urging government owner
ship and control of our natural thoughts'
and emotions.
This seems to present the apex of blue
nose philosophy.
As such it may serve a useful purpose. It;
may give the country a clear idea of the j
absurd height we are headed for, if we do
not curb our tendency to regulate the
thoughts, the morals and the spiritual long* f|
ings of other people.
A dignified undertaking for the most
powerful government on earth, seeking to],
determine whether a kiss on the screen shall
be three feet or 40 rods.
ONE EFFICIENT EL S. SERVICE
•Ask the average American business man :
to take a ride with you in an airplane and
the chances are he’ll fidget a bit and make j
some excuse.
But ask the same man to entrust a valu- li
able letter or parcel to the government air 1
mail service for delivery and the chances
are he’ll do it without a second thought.
Among the enviable records set by dif
ferent branches of our government sendee,
none is quite so impressive as that of the air
mail.
There are few accidents. The mails get !
thru.
The government, we hear, is trying hard
to serve American business. If it does this
as well in other ways as it doe? with the air1!
mail, American business owes it a big debt.
The trick of getting on is to get going.
Spring trade beckons to the May adver
tiser.
The man who tricks his customers mays
a joke on himself.
He who sees a chance and takes it, to him
other chances come.
BIG POULTRY POOL
After a year spent in educational and or
ganization work, there is now being launch
ed in Saskatchewan province, Canada, a
great poultry pool with 9,500 members, own
ing nearly nine million he ns and other fowls
for cooperative marketing.
Mi's. J. Holme is president of the organi
zation, which will ship a large portion of
its products to eastern Canadian and Brit
ish markets. Members of the pool have
signed binding contracts which it is believ
ed will insure faithful delivery of products
and genuine cooperation through business
like methods.
Like all well managed organizations of a
similar nature, the new pool will stress the
necessity for high quality of production
proper grading and intelligent distribution, j
Cooperative marketing is making much
headway, both in Canada and in the United
States, and while some set-backs and dis
couraging experiences have been met here
and there, it seems that the principles un
derhung the movement are entirely sound ‘
and capable of being developed into a truly
beneficial system, for producer and consum
er alike.
Lina Cavalieri, former operatic soprano, '
at the age of 52 is conducting a beauty par
lor in Paris with t>0 assistants. She retir
ed from the stage with a fortune, and do* ,
dares she is running her present establish'
ment not to make money, but because she
is "interested in women." Despite her ace,
Lina is still easy to look upon.
It is reported that Turkish men are be* ■
ing hanged for refusing to give up the fen.
while the women persist in wearing the tra
ditional scraf and are "'getting away ^ith
it” The fact that the scarf costs less than ,
the hats which they are supposed to wear!
may account for the women's immunity
from prosecution.
Pauline Nixon of Texas began marrying j
less than four years ago, at the age of lo. ■
and has so far had four husbands, named
Carlton, Stagner, Winning and Page, She
has already tied Peggy Joyce in the num
ber of husbands, but Peggy is one divorce ;
in the lead—or was up to a week ago.
Officer McNeal of White Oaks. Ry„
dreamed that there was liquor in the Bap
tist church of that town and upon investi
gating found 20 gallons in the belfry. Per
haps the psycho-analysts can explain this.
One of the great needs of this country
is longer strings of spaghetti.
