nation is being steadily drawn to Alaska, and it is inevitable that many misfits as well as substantial families will migrate to the last Hand of opportunity" Some will stop along the way in Fairbanks and Anchorage, but many will drift down to Seward whether We like it or not
 In spite of the ballyhoo of some experts who have all the answers to any situation, there are still so many uncomfortable forces that we
 need and will continue to need periodic adjustments in our econ- omy, our local government, and in
 our vision of the future.
 This is not plea for controls of any kind. It is rather a plea for the
 citizens to open their eyes to the possibility of a situation such as exists in other cities of the Ter ritory. It may not be entirely pos sible to avoid unhappy overcroWd ing, but it certainly seems wise to anticipate confusion by setting up some sort of planning board. I have suggested before this in a general way. Now I am asking
 the thinking people of Seward to consider the question seriously. Why would it not be feasible to | form a group, probably within the Chamber of Commerce, represent ing business, professional men and labor? To examine the experiences
 of other cities and profit by them?
 Such a group or board could do nothing without a means of impli- mentation, but it would, at least be
 first step toward establishing policy of controlled expansion. In order to be effective. the City Council would have to put itself into a frame of mind to consult
 with the planning board and to
 consider it not as an obstruction
 to the activities of the council but
 as an advisory body whose sole aim
 would be to assist in wise and or dered government.
 Such a planning body would
 never be possible unless we can
 put aside our private differences and work together for the ultimate
 good of the whole. We are living rapidly and avidly in and for the
 present. But we must not forget that the present is tomorrow's past. We must think, live and plan for the Seward that will be for our children and our children's chill dren. To make Seward great or mediocre is in our hands now

The C,adGs Roeee.

The Cradle Rocker pleads once more for the people of Seward to take time and thought for the flu ture, to prepare in some way for what it may bring, either in re- cession or for mushroom expan- sion which can be equally diff cult, wasteful and confusing.
 This is not plea for controls, In my opinion there are so many devious factors in our business and politics that no human agency can make changes accurately enough and fast enough to balance the multitudinous forces of demand in the rapid expansion of an area.
 There are those who will say that there is no evidence of rapid growth in Seward. no new indus try, no reason to believe that this city will ever be faced with the necessity of coping with sudden increase of population.
 7. On the surface that argument might carry some weight, but ac- cording to the figures of the city assessor the increase in the number of taxpayers (which means perma- nent residents) is 258 per cent since l947. Black and white figures eStab- fish a fact which cannot be ig- nored Seward is growing.
 With the completion of the high way to Anchorage we must expect an influx of population, at least 40 per cent of which will be perma- nent. The attention of the whole

Oh boy, A nice day! And this

Oh boy! A nice day! And this summer nice day is really news. The BIG weatherman seems to have had a plan to discourage us here in Alaska by whole season of bad weather, with just day now and then of sunshine to make us remember what it looks like. According to the weather bureau we can expect more rain and clouds during August and Septem- Der than sunshine So we should be prepared to take advantage of the good days, while we keep the old rubberS and raincoat handy, if out of sight. At least we can really say that summer, which came on the 4th of July, was won derful-both days of it.

Poor Storage Ups
Machinery Repair

Forty-nine cents of every dollar
Ohio farmers will spend on mach
inery repairs next season can be
charged against Old Man Winter!
This fact, says S. c. Huber, Ex-
tension agriculture engineer at
Ohio State University, has been
proved in studies of farm imple-
ment breakdowns over several
seasons, and should prompt farm
ers to protect their machinery
from the ravages of wet and cold
winter weather.
With the l948 farming season
practically ended, now is good
time for checking machinery and
preparing it for winter, he adds.
"Clean it up, paint where nee
essary, make any needed repairs,
and lubricate all bearings" Huber
suggests as a good way to begin.
"Then the machinery is ready for
storing"
Whether it is to be kept in a
shed or must be left outside, use
of a rust preventative is recon-
mended. Either the liquid type,
which can be sprayed on and does
not have to be removed again be-
fore use, or a grease type will
pr tcct equipment during the
winter months.
If exposed to weather, liquid
preventives can be expected to
last about three months, while
grease types will protect for at
least six months.
Used crankcase oil or ordinary
grease do not furnish good pro-
lection, Huber cautions, especially
if the implement is in the open.
Experience has shown that equip
ment treated with oil or grease
begins to rust within a week after
application.
fabrication with a grease-type
rust preventive is the best way to
protect bearings, but it must be
removed and replaced with stand
ard grease before the equipment
is operated again.
