WELL MERITED RECOGNITION
No more satisfactory selection to the Territorial
Board of Education could have been made than that of
1. C. McMullen. This is true not alone because of Mr.
McMullen’s eminent fitness for the duties, but because
of his outstanding labors in civic advancement and com
munity improvement.
Having seived successively two terms as mayor, and
-ong identified on the City council, Mr. McMullen has
enjoyed a broad experience in civic affairs where heavy
lesponsbihties were imposed without compensation.
Combined with this has been a keen interest and much
altruistic labor in all community affairs, where service
has been given freely and at times accompanied by per
sonal sacrifice. i
As local chairman of the Democratic organization
Mr. McMullen has rendered signal service to his party
in the same altruistic spirit that has characterized his:
other beneficient contributions to Seward and environs. !
There is every assurance that Mr. McMullen’s in
fluence on the Alaska Board of Education will redound!
to the benefit of the school system of the entire Terri- \
torv as his works in lesser affairs have redounded to I
the advancement of Seward.
Spokeswomen for the WCTU claim that prohibi- j
tion reduced murders by one-half. Yes, they have become!
so cheap that almost anyone can afford one.
★ ★ ★ ★
This is a good time to remember that the things we j
worry the most about seldom happen.
★ ★ ★
If you cannot do great things remember that you
aiay do small things in a great way.
★ ★ ★
Work is the World’s richest gold mine.

ASSIGNED TO CUT
AREAS. ON POPP? DAT
America’s flower of patriotic re
membrance will be carried to the
people of Seward Friday, May 26,
by corps of women volunteers or
ganized for the work with army
efficiency. Completion of the or
ganization for the poppy sale was
announced yesterday by Mrs. Henry
Thody, poppy chairman of the
■ Seward Unit of the American
Legion Auxiliary.
Each of the volunteers has been
assigned to a team which will dis
tribute the poppies in a specified
location in the city. Each team
is in charge of a district captain,
working under the Auxiliary’s
general poppy committee.
The local poppy corps will be
part of an army of 100,000 women
who will go into action on a na
tion-wide front on Poppy Day to |
recall to America the services of
the World War dead and to raise l
funds to aid the war’s living vie- j
tims. Before the close of the day \
these women hope to place the I
flower of remembrance on ten!
million coats, and to receive con- i
tributions which will enable the
American Legion Auxiliary to car-!
ry on its relief and rehabilitation
wrork for the disabled veterans and
needy families during the coming
year.
Making poppies for the sale has
given hundreds of disabled veter
ans employment through the win
ter and spring months. These dis
abled men are the only workers in j
the Auxiliary’s poppy program re- i
ceiving pay, all others donating j
their services. All contributions i
received above the cost of making
the poppies are used in the Aux
iliary’s welfare work.

Midwest farmers, whose 1,500,000)
sturdy tillers of the soil produce j
