WHAT ANCHORAGE SAID
Commenting on the recent successful school bond
election in Seward the Anchorage Times, in an effort to
awake civic pride in their town, had the following to say:
“The people of Seward are to be congratulated for
their almost unanimous action in voting a bond issue of
$50,000 for the construction of a new school building.
“The taxpayers of the Gateway City, by a vote of 118
to 18, looked into the future far enough to see that a
school building would be a fine investment for the city,
and as a result the winter population of that city will be
greatly enhanced, as provision will not only be made to;
accommodate more children in the grades, but the final
two years of the high school course will be taken care of,!
the high school work having heretofore been limited tOj
the first two years’ course. In past years, pupils from the
Gateway City have had to go outside or to some other
Alaskan city to complete their high school studies. The!
passage of the bond issue will mean that the money here-1
tofore spent for sending Seward children away to school
will remain in the city.
There is a small world-wide interest in the mines of •
the United States and the capital from abroad is coming
into these great mining areas to partake of this virgin
wealth.
Many mining companies owning excellent prospects
fail because of lack of funds to accomplish the work
necessary to open the ore bodies. It isn’t the mines fault
' times out of 100.
A modern political issue is anything that everybody
already believes in.
‘‘Baking Pies? No, Steering Wheels!”
LIKE chefs in a big kitchen, these specialists in a corner of one «at
Henry Ford’s factories are cooking. But the product of their ovens
J is steering wheels for the new Model A Ford car—not pies. This
i3 just one of the many uses of rubber in the new Ford.
