LOWELL CREEK
News that the House Territories Committee has a]3
aroved a resolution introduced by Delegate Dan A. Suth
?rland authorizing the expenditure of $125,000 for con
:rol of Lowell Creek comes to residents of Seward, not
inly as welcome news but also as a great relief from anx
ety over the possible ravages of this glacier stream and
;he concurrant strain on the limited resources of the Town |
n combatting same. We hope that the House and Sen-1
ite will promptly act on the recommendation of the Com
nittee, made undoubtedly after careful investigation.
The residents of Seward, its taxpayers and property
awners are under great obligations to Col. J. G. Steese and
Dan Sutherland for their untiring efforts in our behalf
n securing the recommendation of this special appropria
tion. Locally the thanks of the community are due the
Chamber of Commerce and prominent individuals, who!
for a number of years have overlooked no opportunity to
agitate the necessity for the government to take steps to
arotect valuable public property as well as our own from
the dangers of this unruly stream.
HOW SHALL WE CARE FOR THE AGED?
There is much to be said regarding almshouses and
aid-age pensions as was expressed at the last meeting of
the Seward Woman’s Club. The Club is working dili
gently with the Alaska Federation to enact legislation
whereby,, the worn, and those who have been overtaken
by age will receive just recompense for their duty toward
mankind. Especially is this being applied to the women
of Alaska who are, at the present time without any means
of living other than imposition upon others.
There are two issues that come to our mind regard
ing the care of theseTndigent persons. The first involved
would be a Home, and secondly, a pension. To our way
of thinking there is much to be said about pensions. The!
more one studies the question, the cheaper that form of!
support appears, as compared with hospitals, homes, and,1
other institutions for those that have labored, or have:
been overtaken by years. How to halt the old-age march!
“over the hill to the poorhouse” has been an important
concern to everyone. In the opinion of the majority, old-!
age pensions are the better alternative than almshouses
and poor relief societies.
The poorfarm places a cloud over the declining years
of unfortunates who are obliged to end their days there.
It is moreover, an unsatisfactory system of helping the
dependent aged. Specialization in industry and speed
ing up has pushed down the dead line of employment. Not
infrequently the man of 45 finds it hard to obtain indus
trial employment. Even agricultural workers face the
precarious old age. It is not always thriftlessness on
one’s part that results in dependency in old age.

BUNK
There seems to be quite a num
ber of poor sports Who failed to
•spend four bits and go to the
game last night and now insist
that the Soldiers threw the game.
The first person I met on the
street this morning asked me
why we did it and each of my
players have been asked the same
question. This does not make me
sore for it is too ridiculous to
take seriously. Anyone who wit
nessed the game, and who ever
saw a game before will testify
that my men could not hit the
basket, were literally played off
their feet and, possibly were a bit
over-confident after their big vic
tory of the night before. As I
predicted in yesterday’s Gateway
the Seward team would likely feel
vindictive in last night’s game
and would play a different game.
They were all of that, and just
a little bit more, but played a
clean sportsman’s game thruout
and the sting of defeat is great
ly diminished by receiving it from
such a clean group of men. We
‘had a couple of injuries last nite
which will slow our team just a
bit but like Seward the night be
fore, my team now has blood in
its eye and the end of tonight’s
game will find us on the long end
of about a 24-20 score.
