W. W. STODDARD
Alaska lost another fine citizen Wednesday when W.
W. Stoddard, a charter member of Seward Igloo No. 9,
Pioneers of Alaska, died at Santa Monica, California. He
peacefully passed away from this life and the memory of
the kindly, old gentleman will linger long in the hearts of
all who knew him in Seward, Anchorage and elsewhere.
Mr. Stoddard loved Alaska but advancing age—he
was 81—necessitated a change so he went to the States. '
Born in New York State, Mr. Stoddard came to;
Alaska in 1900. From 1916 he was intermittingly e m
ployed in Seward by The Gateway, Brown & Hawkins I
L oi po rat ion and as assistant to the local postmaster. La-i
ter, he moved to Anchorage where for years he was a val-1
ued member of the Alaska Railroad headquarters staff, i
Vade in Pace.
A BRIEF CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW
I he holiday adjournment of Congress necessarily has
curtailed a report on the proceedings of that body. Sena-!
tor Walsh has introduced a resolution calling for an in-!
vestigation of the causes of the depression and the rela-;
tion ot the collapse of the prices on the stock exchange, j
It is proposed to place a portion of the grain reserve at!
the command of the President, for relief purposes. The |
Senate ratified Mr. Hoover’s year of grace for the p a y- i
ment of World War indebtedness, by a vote approximat
ing six to one. The House has already taken a similar ac
tion, on a ratio of about three to one.
In the House, legislation is proposed whereby things j
may be made hotter for alien bootleggers. Reduction of j
the pay of Federal employees is up, with good speaking I
talent on both sides. A Representative has it in mind to
place interstate traffic by means of busses under the con-:
trol of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Indepen-!
dence for the Philippine Islands is put to the front by the !
Resident Commissioner.
Complaints are being heard continually as to the de-1
ficiencies of the Seward breakwater. North winds and i
zero weather have jammed ice against the wall of rocks,
which are reported to be giving way from the assault
from waves, almost causing disaster a number of times I
to. anchored, craft. Local mariners were never in accord
with the builders’ location of the breakwater and they
undoubtedly seemed to have known what they were talk
ing about.
? Alaskans should have no cause to worry over Mel- i
JOn s plan to tax single persons with an annual income in
excess of $1,000, and 82,500 for individuals having depen
dents. There are but few such up here.
The above is a reproduction of the 750-foot SS Man
hattan which -was launched recently at Camden, N. J. The
vessel is the largest American built ship and was built for
the United States lines for trans-Atlantic service. The SS
Manhattan is of 30,000 registered tons. It will carry ap
proximately 1,300 passengers and has a cruising speed of
more than 20 knots.
LOCAL THESPIS HELD
ENTERTAINMENT MEET
THURSDAY EVENING
What was described as one of the
i liveliest of regular meetings of any j
; Seward organization was held last;
evening in the Seward school audi- i
{torium when the Little Theatre
Club held its January meeting.
At the regular meeting, at which
| about 40 members were present, the
! first order of business was the vot
| ing in of a number of new mem- |
; bers. Following this came a report |
; from the chairman of the club’s j
i committee which had charge of
having the stage in the auditorium
built. Chairman Leonard Hopkins,
of the Stage Committee, said the
I committee did not need to make
i much of a report as the stage
I “spoke for itself.” He did say, how- j
I ever, that it was the purpose of the j
I committee when they had the stage j
! built, that it be designed to take j
I care of future needs as well as the !
1 present. This, it was thought by
i the committee, had been achieved, i
The club voted, upon a sugges- j
| tion made at the meeting, to inves
j tigate the musical prospects of the
I club with a view to ascertaining if
; material was available to put on a
I musical and vocal program. Here- I
I tofore, the club’s activities have <!
| been limited to the production of i i
plays alone. j!
At the adjournment of the busi- j
ness meeting a mirthful “School j
Days” playlet wras presented. Mrs. i
R. D. Sullivan took the part,of the 1
school teacher, who presided over
the schoolroom of 11 children.
The action of the playlet was
based on the mischievous pranks
of school children. Mr. Hopkins j
took the part of the “fat” boy and
had a waist line of about 87 inches
and a weight which should equal
about two normal persons.
As the playlet drew to a close, the
odor of fresh coffee announced
that a repast was being prepared
and as the class was dismissed the
entire assemblage was served with
baked beans, coffee, sandwiches
and apple pie.
The next regular meeting of the
Little Theatre Club will be on Feb
ruary 11.
