COMMUNITY BUDGETING
Now is the time for all wise parents to budget their
household expenses for the coming year. Why not let
all good citizens “budget” their civic interests for com
munity welfare and development for the year 1928?
Let us ask ourselves how much time we expect to
spend in cooperating with other citizens to boost not only
Seward but all of Alaska. Keeping in mind our indivi
dual circumstances and ability, how many minutes, hours
or days can we give unstintedly to help the whole com
munity? How much can we give to the church, the
lodge, the club; to charity, to education, to recreational
advantages and to other civic interests wholly disassociat
ed from our own selfish ends?
Such is the test of each one’s community budget.
When each one has conscientiously made these
expenditures of money, time, effort and inspiration and
carried them out according to his abilities, Seward will
do bigger things, have better times, seize greater oppor
tunities and realize larger dividends.
An exchange contends that it is ungrammatical to
say “the sick aviator has flu.”
-p—.—
They say there are yet some people in the United
States who don’t know there is a prohibition law.,There
are aljso still some prohibition agents who don't seem to
recognize some people. , .

Anyway, the new freedom for youth requires less
prevarication than was necessary to establish the old
time alibis.
From the pictures we see, it seems that a Puritan’s
gun might have been made to do duty as a funnel in a
pinch.
Good times are just around the comer. So are places
to park.
