PROFANITY AND THE CHILD
First impressions last the longest. Not only is this true
through the passing years but equally true as to the
first impressions of childhood.
In: a small communty, such as Seward, where children
of many races and domestic environment are interming
led every day, a somewhat uniform standard of morals
must prevail.
Should parents disregard the fact that children, even
of tender years, not infrequently make use of foul terms
and profanity?
Your child? Maybe. My child? Perhaps!
The fact remains there is no yard large enough to
keep a child in it and harder still to keep other children
out. They will, and rightly so, should play together.
Do we consider it an asset in life to become eloquent
in the use of unclean words and gross profanity ? . Is such
language used in the presence of our mothers, wives and
young women ?
Children are the same all over the world. The hab
its and impressions taught and learned by them are mem
ories carried down the lane of time to the end.
The use of profanity is generally used by those with
little education as a means to bridge their limited vocabu
lary
If, when these little chaps grow up to manhood, they
want to use cuss words, they are of age and should know
better.
But for children to shout profanity at each other is
shocking and sounds like (ahem) the dickens.
Just about the time the Sioux christened President
Coolidge “Chief Leading Eagle,” he announced that he
did not choose to lead the G. 0. P. elephant.
A French girl shot her teacher when he refused to
marry her, which doesn’t speak very highy for the quali
ty of his teaching.
Even those who are not spiritualists hope to see the
“ghost walk” on pay day.
Short skirts and short hair have provoked many long
arguments.
The name of Ford suggests a tractor and also a re
tractor.
Corn liquor is a kind of corn borer that “bores from
within.
Anyway, Darius Green made the first non-stop stop.
Democrats appear to agree on one thing, at least.
They are all against a third term for Cal
The long looked for saturaton point appears to have
been discovered in New York City.
A lot of ink would have been saved had President
Coolidge seen fit to choose a word other than “choose.”
Tex Rickard is overlooking something by not signing
up Aimee and Mother Kennedyvfor a ten-round argument

GULiS IS LARGE AS DEER
REPORTED TO WESTWARD!
-— ‘ i
t
Are there sea gulls to the West
ward as large as deer?
The answer is eagerly sought by
Frank Osiborn, trapper from the Her
endeen bay country who went South j
a few days ago. He related to The j
Gateway a queer incident which oc- j
cured one day while he had his bin- j
oculars trained on a flock of gulls ]
far out on the flats of CVLud bay, a i
tributary to Moller bay.
And he says he wasn’t looking
through the bottom of a beer bottle,
either.
However, the gulls took on the size |
of a full size deer, and whether it ! i
was an optical illusion or a reflection ;
from the flats, or that there actually j
exists gulls this tremendous size, is j
what he would like to ascertain and j
upon his return home next spring he ]
plans to spend considerable time in ;
an endeavor to solve the phenomena, j
Mrs. Gus Manthey, accompanied by j
her son Eddie, were passengers on i
the steamer Alaska Sunday bound i
for a visit in Latouche.
It is reported that the cargo on the j
steamer Aleutian now enroute to this j
port from Seattle exceeds all pre- j
vious records of any Alaskan steamer
coming north this year.
'P. T. Padden, from Dillingham,
who has been trapping and prospect
ng in the Westward regions for many
years past, was among the South
bound passengers on the S. S. Alaska.
Pat O’Toole, former chief of police
of Cordova, passed through Seward
Sunday enroute from the Interior to
the Copper River city.
M. F. Fitch, vocational instructor
at the Eklutna Indian school, Bureau
of Education, was a brief wreek-end
visitor in Seward. He departed again
yesterday morning.
