YOUR HOSPITAL
Your hospital is not a money-making institution, !
is not operated for profit; seeks only to help the sick,!
the needy and distressed. It is for the protection of the!
people of this community. At any hour its walls may j
stand a sturdy bulwark between your home and grim j
tragedy. 1
It knows no creed; knows neither rich nor poor;
none go unaided from its doors because they lack the
present means to pay.
Measured in terms of humanity and service it is an
institution to afford every citizen of Seward a thrill
of pride.
THE IDES OF MARCH
_ i
Beware the ides of March!
So cried the Soothsayer to mighty Caesar as he
walked the streets jof Rome.
But that was long ago.
Today I met my neighbor as we walked tne streets
of this little Alaskan city. Constraint and misunder
standing marred our greeting.
Not always has this been true, for when last June
brought to our Northern land a sense of plenty and
prosperity I knew him for my friend. Through the
swift summer side by side we labored for the common
weal; not always in agreement, but with untiy of
purpose and my faith in his integrity was strong and
sure.
So to the autumn when we looked back upon the
things we had accomplished, the mistakes we had made;
knowing each others, weakness, each others faults, but
holding for each other a deep and tolerant regard.
Then suddenly it was winter. The margins of our
lives drew in about us. Our personal ambitions, our
hopes for gain grew large again. With the deeping
season our world grew smaller and against this nar
rowed background our faults bulked large. The pecu
liarities that once afforded us tolerant amusement be
came irritations. The gardens of our friendship was
untended.
The turning of the year seemed slower then, but at
last it was March.
March—with reluctant spring still far away. I now
meet my neighbor with constraint. In some mysterious
way our,differences of opinion have become personal
antagonisms. I question his honor; he questions mine.
Yet we are the same men who worked together in har
mony not so long ago.
The winter, the close contacts, the circumscribed
existence have distorted our perspective and clouded
our vision. When summer comes our differences will
be forgotten in our unity of purpose. I will have faith
in mv neighbor. He will have faith in me.
Would that the old Roman soothsayer might plucl
the sleeve of my neighbor and me and bid us, too, Be
ware the Ides of March!
Knowing that we must eventually shuffle off the
mortal coil we hope to do it painlessly. So did one H
W. Dyer of Lewisham, Eng., who padded his neck s<
that he might hang himself in comfort. But it didn’
work, and he is recovering after a mild choking spell
Which again reminds us, we should all hang together, s<
to speak, for the sake of progress.
A comparatively mild winter again illustrates th<
truth that Providence tempers the wind to the shon
lamb—in Wall Street and elsewhere but who in heel
opened up the ice-box these last few days?
Advertisers are not gamblers; they won’t tak
chances on customers coming into their stores.
FASTEST CAGE GAME
OF THE SEASON WON
BY INLET ANTIERS
Boy. what a game that was
Basketball fans waxed hot and
cold during the extra last five
minutes of play last night b^twix
the Anchorage Antlers and the
Seward high school “Ponies,”
which the Inlet five won by
one point, 29 to 28. And on the
one foul shot made by th evisit
ors during the entire fracas. Fur
thermore it was at the last possible
moment for just as Arbiter Fran
cis Groth tapped Don Shell horn
on the back for fouling Strand
berg, the time-keeper’s bird-like
whistle blew; simultaneously with
the referee’s.
In a breath-taking drive the
“Ponies” had dynamited through
from a 14-24 score at the end of
the third quarter to a 26-26 tie
at the final blast. It was decided
to play five minutes more in an
endeavor, to play off the tie
Both teams were going at a
tremendous pace with Anchorage
almost frantic in their efforts to
halt the stampeding “Ponies.”
Porter, crack Antler forward,
sunk a pretty one from the field.
Shelhorn and Rogers, both foul
ed by Antler men, converted
tying the game again. Then came
the last foul which proved to be
the winning point for Anchorage
when Standberg converted. And
the crowd roared its approval
of the end of the hardest fought,
most evenly matched squads and
the best game witnessed in Sew
ard in a decade.
Captain Strandberg, at the end
of the game, rushed over to Sup
erintendent of Schools, M. J.
Roaney, to personally congratu
late him upon his gamey team
commenting especially on the “Po
| nies” wonderful drive frolh be
| hind.
! Some really marvelous plays
j were made by members of both
! fives and to laud anyone individ
j ualiy over a compatriot, would
l be entirely out of order.
Scoring was made as follows:
Antlers—
Holdiman* 12. Strandberg 9.
Porter 8.
; Seward high school—
Lange 10, Shellhorn 9, Benson
6, Sandbeck, 2.
The first quarter ended in favor
; of the Antlers, 6-2; the half saw
j them maintain their lead, 10-6;
i third quarter 24-14 favor of the
| Inletters and 26 all at the whis
I tie; end of extra five minutes
| of play, 29-28.
Referee Groth, as usual, hand
l led the game to the perfect sat
isfaction of the majority and the
j visitors thanked him for his fair
i decisions and alertness in keep
| ing the game going at top speed.
If he fflissed any, he called doz
I ens of others the fans failed to
pick out.
The Antlers left for home to
day, happy in that they are re
' turning with at least one Seward
scalp, even though it is a tough
| one, and darn hard-earned.
