EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS
The Arctic and sub-Arctic have been conquered by
cdr. Regular schedules to every settled portion of Alaska
are now maintained save under exceptional conditions,
with on greater interruptions than those that affect the
service where in die States every safeguard and acces
sory conceived by man is at the call of'the pilots.
One of the greatest contributors to this condition in
Alaska has been K r Q D, Anchorage broadcasting sta
don. It is through K F Q L) that planes traveling all por
tions of the Territory are kept informed of weather con
ditions, receive da by messages of direction and calls
where emergency demands detours such as picking up
some one desperately if and conveying them to a hospi
lui*
Hardly an evening passes when the Voice of the Gol
iuen North, “J. Vf does not dash forth on the ether to
bridge a thousand-mile gap between the bleak, snowclad
wilderness and every modern convenience, carrying mes
sages of cheer to the stricken communications between
friends and tidings of happenings in the great world.
HOV, TO HE BEAUTIFUL
Despite the beast ol plastic science in being able to
reconstruct features, running all the way from the snub
note to smnbone® of bathing syrens, the psychologist
holds the edge. And it does not require a shark in the
psychology business to become a skilled practitioner. A
typwriter cu a lead pencil does the work.
Strange as it seems one never reads of ‘‘The Homely
Queen of the Robber Gang.” Being a queen of a robber
gang presupposed something like Mary Pickford, but the
facts are teat any sort of a “mug" may be transformed
into a Mona Lisa or 7 enus de Milo simply by using a
meat axe to carve up her husband or grandmother, ac
cording to specifications of the Butchers Union.
In the first Moody atrocity which a girl or woman
pulls in Alaska, wt are going to tell the world just what
she looks like, and she is not going to be proud of the
likeness. If the sweet things really wish to make the ro
togravure section of the Big Time newspapers, all they
have to do is to keep their clothes on and their mouth
shut. 1 no spectacle ui at least one comely face in repose
instead of griming like an orangoutang choking on a
banana should merit a half-page.
Strange as it may seem, one seldom finds the plain
or even homely giH figuring in the news as the victim of
the butcher* or occupying the center of a reeking scan
dal. The fact is they are too content with a loyal bus
b - d, held by them dominant qualities rather than a
baby face, to bother with such things as scandals.
If all of I ncle Sam’s investments turned out as well
a* the purchase of Alaska for $7,200,000 from Russia in
1867, there would be no depression. The value of last
year's mineral production in Alaska amounted to $10,
.>88,000, which brings the total value of the mineral out
put since 1880 to approximately $652,000,000.

Assuming that the citizens of
the community are interested in
actual facts relative to social
events and social atmosphere, es
pecially such as touch the school
in any way, I wish to make the
following communication thru the
j columns of The Seward Gateway.
It is the fixed policy of the lo
I cal school for some faculty mem
i ber to be officially designated as
! sponsor and chaperon for all school
| parties, and such responsibility is
j both officially designated and ac
j cepted in advance.
Upon this basis, the school ac
! cepts responsibility for the con
duct of students from the time
they arrive at the building up to
the time they leave the premises.
Anything beyond this lies clearly
within the domain of parental jur
isdiction.
A recent party at the school
house was investigated in detail
by the superintendent’s office with
the following results. Tire sponsor
was formally designated and ac
cepted in writing. The sponsor and
chaperon did their duty as outlin
ed above. Any participants at the
j party who were indiscreet or who
i had conducted themselves in a
! manner inappropriate to the oc
| casion before arriving at the
i school house were excluded from
' the building.
1 The school has insisted, on all
j occasions, that school parties be
; conducted in as refined an atmos
phere as possible and students are
admonished in advance to deport
1 themselves with dignity at these
: functions in order to cultivate the
social graces.
High school parties, unless un
der rigid surveillance, are apt to
be charatacterized by a tendency
toward rowdyism and bad man
j ners. Responsibility for this, in
| most part, again rests with paren
j tal and home training. The school
j dicountenances it and does not
■ hesitate to correct it when occa
' sion demands.

A play of the hard-riding, hard-shooting West of 40 years ago.
