TOWN OF SEWARD SETS WORLD RECORD
The smallest town in the United States which publishes
1 a daily newspaper seems to be Mammonth Springs, Ark
whose paper, the the Morning Daily, serves a population
which in 1920 was just 900. But, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer in a recent issue reaching The Seward Gateway
office, the record for the North American continent* and
probobly the world is held by The Seward Gateway, an
evening paper in Seward, Alaska. The town has a popula
tion of under 900 and the paper circulation of more than
1,000. ^ ;
The province of the newspaper—service to the com
munity— is an editorial problem. It has always been such,
it always will be such, and it is to the credit o.f American
newspapers that it has been so been interpreted.
It is because it is so interpreted that the newspaper is
is a valuable advertising medium, that it is more than a
handbill.
If The Seward Gateway is deserving of the rare dis
tinction above quoted the people who support the paper
are the ones who deserve all the credit for they have made
it what it is.
All of which gets back to the old saying, “the news
paper reflects the prosperity of the town, city or com
munity which it serves.
ALASKA MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE
Of the natural resources of Alaska, the fish take first
place in the way of paying into the treasury of the Terri
tory the greatest amount of cash. This is a resource that
may be perpetuated, because, from its verv nature it may
be produced each year. When one realizes, as N. W.
Spangler, president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
does and as he stated in New York, that the fisheries ol
the Territory have produced $30,000,000 in excess of the
gold output since the days of discovery of gold, it is clear
ly seen the value of Alaska's fisheries and the great care
in which they should be administered.

ENTERTAINMENT WOULD HAVE
REFLECTED CREDIT TO
TOWNS IN STATES
Mrs. Myrtle Cantebury Hatten, Mrs.
Rosabelle Groth, and the Girls Glee
Club from the Jesse Lee Home
treated an appreciated audience to an
evening of exceptional entertainment
| at the Community church last even
! ing.
Although the people of Seward have
enjoyed listening to the wonderful
music furnished by the Girls Glee
Club there was an unexpected qual
ity of tone and at times one might al
most believe that there were male
voices joining in. Mrs. Groth is to
be complemented on the wonderful
work she is doing.'
Mrs. Hatten has treated local citi
zens to recitations in the past (her
names on the program always creates
'.interest, but she outdid any of her
former efforts, especially in “King
j Robert of Sicily” in which she was ac
■'companied by Mrs. Groth. Her inter
pretations throughout the program
were excellent 'and touched respon
sive notes in the feelings of the au
i dience. r
| In Mrs Groth Seward enjoys the
|honor of entertaining a real artist.
Adding to the prestige she has already
I established for herself in the short
time since her arrival, with her won
derful music last evening she entwin
ed herself into the hearts of music
1 lovers.
The handing out of programs helped
one to follow and further enjoy the
numbers. It w^as a little courtesy for
which thanks to the boys of the Home
are due.
Looking at the program one was not
aware that Rev. Graham, Dr. Roberts,
and Professor Bath Avere to make an
appearance, but they enjoyed a promi
nent place,’hiext to the last on the pro
gram. A good collection wTas contri
buted Avhich will go to buy music for
the Home and from the evidence fur
nished last night, it will be well used.
Sunday services at the Seward Com
munity church will be as follows:
Song and prayer, and preaching ser
vice, conducted by the pastor, at 11:30
i
a. m. Evening worship, consisting
largely of musy, at 7:30. Sunday
school at 12:45 p. m.
The>dChurch will be warm and com
fortable no matter how cold the weath
er. Come and worship with us. You
need the services of the sanctuary;
and your presence will be a help and
inspiration to others. Visitors always
receive a cordial welcome at our
church.
