Eeonomy-Wise and Otherwise

The issue raised by the attacks on the
volume of Government spending Is not
whether one is for or against economy.
If there is to be any economy, as dis
tinguished from another round of speeches
calling for economy, the real question is
whether the knife Is to be applied where
the results will be beneficial, or whether
our future Is to be sacrificed In the name
of economy. One course is wise, the bther
plainly foolish.
Democratic Senator George has Joined
with Republican Senators Bridges and
Wherry in insisting that scheduled ex-
penditures be trimmed. This lis formi-
dabie combination, and can be expected to
draw support from both sides of the Senate
aisle. But it is not reassuring to note the
direction in which these gentlemen seem
to be looking.
There is a certain vagueness about their
separate statements, but they are definite
enough to reveal that their first target will
be the funds for European recovery, the
Atlantic Pact and related foreign programs.
No one contends that these scheduled
appropriations are untouchable. If they
can be cut with safety they ought to be
view when he says that nobody can ex-
pect members Of Congress to cut down on
our domestic programs unless we first
make a reduction in foreign spending"
Congress ought to cut where the cuts
can best be made. If that applies to for
eign spending, then cut there But If
cut in foreign spending is going to nullify
all of the effort and money already in
vested in the attempt to revive Western
Europe in the interests of our own security
and well-being, then, obviously, Congress
ought to cut somewhere else.
For years, the stock question has been:
Where would you cut2 This time there Is
ready answer.
The Hoover Commission, after careful
and exhaustive study, has recommended a
program OF governmental reorganization
which 1t believes would save around So
billion a year. If Congress really wants
to save money, what better place to begin?
Strangely enough, however, there does
not seem to be unlimited enthusiasm on
Capitol Hill for this sensible economy
move. The House has passed a bill which
would let the President carry out the re-
organization proposals, subject to a veto
by both branches of Congress. But in the
Senate, where one hears the most about
economy, there is much hedging and drag
ging Of feet. The Senate bill which has
been reported out by committee, but not
yet acted upon, would permit veto by
either branch of Congress, and this is not
reassuring thing.
STILL the opportunity is there If the
Senators really want to economize Ger
tainly there could be no better place to
begin. Looming on the horizon are a
variety OF social-reform projects which,
If ever adopted, are going to cost lot Of
money and expand rather than contract
the scope of Government operations. If
we are ever to achieve the very substantial
economy that would come with reorganiza-
tion this is the time to get 1t. To mum the
chance now very probably means that it
will never come again.

Date Set for High School Carnival

The date set for the annual carnival of the Seward Public Schools, is Friday, November Is, as announced today by Carl Carlson, Sup't. of Schools.
 To be held in the high school auditorium under the direction of Mrs. Grace Camper, chair man and the teachers, bigger and better carnival than ever is promised for this year.
 Proceeds from the carnival last year, plus a contribution of $15O.OO from the Seward Par. ent Teachers Association, pur. chased 100 folding chairs for the auditorium. It is hoped that enough will be realized this year to add another 100 chairs to replace the splintered, un- comfortable relics of past years,
 Teachers and students will be very busy during the next two weeks completing arrangements for the biggest event of the year.

House Warming At Howell Residence

A guest book in the new home of Tom and Arreta Howell has over 90 signatures of friends who dropped in from 2 pm. un- til late evening Sunday to con- gratulate the couple on their ac- complishment.
 This house is we'll worth in spection. Moved in from the Fort Raymond area less than two years ago and remodeled in their spare time, all the work was done by the Howells. It has a large living room across the front, kitchen, bath, three bed rooms, closets and linen closet. A full basement contains the garage, laundry room, furnace room, and play room which is unfinished.
 AS an example of what can be done by two determined people on a limited budget, this home, although not completely finished outside, is an outstanding sue cess.
 The HoWells came to Seward several years ago with the Jesse Lee Home. MT. Howell since that time has held the position of city clerk, and for the past year has been assistant postmaster.
 Mrs. Howell is weather man" for Seward, recording wind and temperature hourly for informa- tion of the US. Weather Bureau forecasting station at Anchorage. Howells are active in the Meth odist Church, Masons and East ern Star, and many friends were glad of the opportunity to honor them in their new home built by their own efforts.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY WITH PARTY

Although last Saturday was not exactly his birthday, it was close enough so Bruce Butch) Mann celebrated the occasion by entertaining 20 young friends and some of the mothers-at a Halloween party at the Mann home at Mile 6I2.
 The usual Halloween games were enjoyed with no casualties except one little girl tumbling into the shower and one little fel- low that took in too much water while ducking for apples and be- came ill for a few minutes. How ever, neither mishap was fatal and everyone concerned was happy over the whole affair-in- cluding the mothers present who, it is reported, had more fun than the kids-just watching.

Cifv Council Discusses Power Problems With ATEC

 MT. Maxey expressed the opinion that the city is too small for competition and that he hoped to see Seward take over the entire distribution of power in the near future, ATEC being interested chiefly in the tele- phone system.
 There was lengthy discussion of ways and means, but entirely amicable relations were main tained throughout the meeting.
 A committee from the Utility Board was appointed to meet with MT. Maxey to formulate some sort of understanding, fail ing which, qualified electrical engineer from Outside may be engaged to make an appraisal of the object of purchase, at such time as the city may be finan- cially able, or in a position to furnish all the power necessary to carry the city.

Butler Here To Promote Scout Drive

Contributions will be taken on Friday of this week to sup port the program of the Boy Scouts of America in Alaska and to bring the services of the Alas ka Council to Seward. Gene But Ter, Chugach District Scout ex- ecutive, is in town this week, and among other things he will help local people to organize the finance campaign.
 Funds raised in Seward to support the Alaska Council, Boy Scouts of America are used by the Council to administer and service the Boy Scout programs throughout Alaska. The Alaska Council is supported only by public contributions received through the independent finance campaigns in all communities of Alaska.
 The Alaska Council is com posed of group of Alaskans se- lected by institutions that have the Scout program and elected at large. These people hire four professional men to carry out the policies and program of the Council and the Boy Scouts of America. The man who serves Seward also serves Cordova, Pal mer, Wasilla, Homer, Kodiak and Anchorage. The representa- tive, Mr. Butler, makes visit to Seward every other month and stays about a week each time.
 In Need of Funds

 At present there is in Seward one Boy Scout troop. The P-TA expects to organize Cub Pack this week and in the future if is hoped that another troop will be organized. With the help of regular visits from a Scout ex- ecutive these programs can be active and continuous.
 Support Scouting when the solicitors call on you. An invest ment in Scouting is an invest ment in the future of America.
