SEWARD DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN
Towns don’t just happen—they’re built That’s an old
saying that bears repetition. If you don’t think so, imagine
Seward without any civic organizations working for the
common good, without government to enforce justice and
equality, without any schools building for future citizen
ship, without any churches fostering morality, without
land or business producing service and wealth, without
any transportation facilities and roads bringing people
to SewTard.
Without any individuals giving of their time and
money and counsel for the general welfare and progress,
the development of a town or city is retarded. It is the
combined effort of community spirit that is slowly but
surely pushing Seward to the front.
A dry plank in any platform this year would be a
little damp on the under side.
There are still a lot of hopeful and receptive single
men who declare that this is so far a very unsuccessful
Leap Year.
There is no substitute for prosperity.
So long as the people permit politics to enter govern
ment, they may expect government to dabble a little into
politics.
The League of Nations needs a good husky umpire
to handle that China-Japan game.
That bandit who took a Chicago youth’s cornet has
in him the makings of a real reformer.
Some brag about being college men, wdiile fellows
who amount to something brag about it if they are not.
We always have the satisfaction of knowing that our
candidate is the best man, regardless of the number of
votes he gets.
Senator Bruc says he thinks Senator Heflin is men
tally deranged. Which is perhaps the most charitable way
to put it.
If Harry Sinclair belongs to a Rotary Club, thru
sheer courtesy they’ve probably quit calling him “Sin.”

NORMAN UCK QUITS
POSITION ON ROID
IS ALISKI BOOSTER
Normau Lack, assistant to General
Manager Noel W. Smith, Alaska
Railroad, arrived in Seward last
evening on a brief official visit and
has made announcement that he is
resigning his position to return, with
Mrs. Lack, to their home in Hau
er, Pa.
Mr. Lack, in his stay of a few
years in the Territory, lias been a
consistent booster and has become
quite fond of Alaska and, in a way,
departs with reluctance. He has
been an ardent amateur photographer
and thru this method has accom
plished much excellent publicity for
Alaska.
He has served Mr. Smith well and
faithfully and many improvements
along the line is the result of his
efforts. Seward has benefited from
some of his activitites; both he and
Mrs. Lack have many friends here.
To a large extent the Seward golf
course became a fact for being a
devotee of the game, he interested
a few in Seward who in turn mad**
if a reality and an asset to the city.
He helped alot in having the railroad
build the foating dock, which was
sorely needed. As one of his friends
remarked today "We are sorry fo
see young people like these leave
the Territory. We need all the young
folks we can possibly get and es
pecially those who are content here ’
