A VERY REAL COMMUNITY LOSS
Ceward sustains a distinct loss tomorrow in the depart
” ture of Captain Ralph R. Guthrie, and his gracious
wife, for the States. Their residency here has been one
of continued pleasure to their friends which numbers
every citizen in the city. The results of the keen civic
interest Captain Guthrie has always taken will be ever
lasting and it was both fitting and, proper that among his
numerous accomplishments here, that the airport has
been given his name. Guthrie Field will ever stand as a
monument to his untiring and unceasing efforts toward
community welfare.
Seward's golf links, the band, and so on down the
line, are other valuable assets Captain Guthrie has given
this city. Seward indeed has been particularly favored ■
and honored in being able^ to call these folks, our folks.
No small prestige has been given Seward in the know- 1
ledge that one of her citizens is one of America's promi- (
nent authors and that most of his stories of the past two
years have been devoted almost’ exclusively to Alaska ad
ventures. So in thinking a little more deeply on the sub- 1
ject we come to the conclusion that not only is Captain
Guthrie’s departure a signal loss to Seward but to the
entire Territoroy as well.
* i- - ^ :'i area of the U. S. Signal Corps he has ’
brought the system up to a perfection never before at
tained. He no doubt will contradict this statement
and say instead, all credit is due to his men. We do not
mean to belittle the efficient members of his corps but we
know that without proper guidance and administration
any organization would fall flat and we feel in so ex
pressinig ourself we are stating what his men would
want us to say.
Captain Ralph R. Guthrie leaves Seward for a four
years tour of duty at the Presidio of San Francisco. His
duties there will be Procurement Planning under the of
fice of the Assistant Secretary of War, as it was for four
years in New York City previous to Captain Guthrie’s
arrival in Seward in 1926. This duty consists in a detail
study of methods of purchase to be employed in the next
great war—if we have one—and the building up of a bet
ter understanding between- the army purchasing depart
ments and the manufacturer. It involves a study of pro
duction Vyrth ids and sources of supply for six armies to
talling 5.900.000 men.

At i. _ : :l i'j. arung r.ae inis v.iui sincere lnenus
there is so i • eh more which could be said to show Sew
ard's appreciation of their friendship. However, Capt
ain and ties. Guthrie know that the trends they are leav
ing- behind have been sincere friends and every one of us
wish them continued happiness in their new home and
trust that occasionally their thoughts may turn North
ward: to their legion of real friends in Seward,
Goodbye.
