LOYAL CIVIC WORKERS
It is not the purpose to express here why Chambers
of Commerce should be supported 100 per cent by its par
ticular community. We have all listened to oratory and
read of their activities since “Heck was a pup.”
But we do wish to impress, in black and white, the
record of achievement the present Seward Chamber of
Commerce, its officers and members, have and are striv
ing for.
A small group of men are keeping' alive important
civic matters for the public welfare, looking, to present
_ and future growth and whether or not they *have been |
successful or not in obtaining one objective (they have |
attained many), it is to their everlasting credit they have '
stuck on the job—earned on!
Their constant cooperative community effort is de
serving of full applause from every citizen in the city
* and from those residing in the outlands.
With no selfish motive behind any motion this small
group of loyal workers are unceasing in their labors to
make Seward and this area better and more prosperous.
But it is not this but the united spirit typified by this
group for which The Gateway doffs the well known
“Kelly” in utmost respect and admiration.
As Capt. 0. A. Johansen would sum up: “More power
to them!”
THIS DISARMAMENT “BALLYHOO”
Certain politicians and the press in the States de
plore the coming of the next war, fearing annihilation of
mankind by means 6f chemical and biological weapons.
So they favor disarmament. For argument, they refer
us to the late World War.
i
We may be old-fashioned or narrow between the eyes
but we still believe that as long as there are two men or
women on earth there will be fighting.
Then again there is that mysterious power contained
in the word war which envisions in the hearts of the
young, adventure, a change from the hum-drum of every
day life, to go places and do different things, the wave of
patriotism which surges through a nation when its people
believe they have been done “dirt.”
The distress caused by the World War was far less
appalling than in the Thirty Years' War which ended in
1648. It was ghastly beyond comparison. One country
alor.^ lost 85 per cent of its horses, over 80 per cent of its
cattle, 65 per cent of its houses, and 75 per cent of-its
population were killed.
Just as fast as new methods of warfare are created,
just so are defensive measures produced. And it will be
ever so.
They can no more regulate a nation’s temper than
legislate a person’s stomach as witness the present pro
hibition fiasco. Politicians and the alleged intelligent,
far-sighted “blue-noses” cannot change the laws of na
ture.
As a bank waxes rich, additional safeguards for that
wealth must be added. And so it is with the richest coun
try in the world—the United States of America. Our army
and navy should be second to none; not to war upon weak
er nations, but to safeguard our people and their riches.'
Just why a certain class of so-called Americans seefk
disarmament is beyond us. The aftermath of the World
War did npt bring on the present world-wide depression.
High finance and graft only are responsible! Students
of economics know this to be so.
It is a strange paradox but whereas today no practi
cal system has been found to allay our unemployment
crisis, even with bank vaults bursting with gold, yet were
war declared tomorrow the wealth of the country would
flow in a gigantic, golden stream.
“Aw,nerts!”

SEWARD VISITOR HAS
i DONE MUCH TRAVEL!
Kathryn L. Galen, a traveling
I representative for the New York
jLife Insurance Company in Alas
jka, arrived in Seward on the SS
! Northwestern and is a guest at the
i Seward Hotel
j Since her last trip to Seward,
j she made an eight-months’ trip
j taking in the Hawaiian and Phil
| ippine groups of ^islands, Japan,
I China, Australia, both the north
and south islands of New Zealand,
and cruising over a month in the.
South Seas, visiting in Fiji, Samoa*
and Tonga.
On her return trip she motored
around the Island of Java, visiting
j the world-famed Borobudur Tem
I pie; thence on to the Island of Bali
| which is supposed to be the Queen
! of the Pacific; then north into |
| Indo-China where she saw the old
Ruins de Angkor.
Mrs. Galen wishes to advise the’
public that after January 1, 1932,
the disability and double indemnity
features of the insurance now in
force will be absolutely discontin
ued, consequently if any one de
sires insurance with these priv-1
ileges it is compulsory that same ;
be applied for prior to that date.
A Pre-Holiday Clearance of wo-!
men’s wear is announced by The j
Blue Shop.
