How free is free will?

'Tis said by some that there's no
free will. Like the sunflower, man
must turn to his god in the West.
Like the moth, he must flutter into
the flame. Like the wolf. he must
Stay the sheep.
What merit then in being good
what fault in being bad? What
justice in rewarding the benefac-
TORN Furnishing the malefactor?
What use at all in the Command
ments of God Or the teachings and
warnings of Christ to a race with
no power to choose between God
and Satan?
Free will! Is it the right to do
good or bad? Or isn't it the power
to choose between right and wrong
between the wise and the foolish,
between the difficult and the easy,
between Heaven and He'll?
Because I must stop my car at a
traffic light, have I no free will?
Isn't it rather that I freely choose
to stop because I approve the law
or fear its fangs?
Because I must labor hard each
day. is that proof that free will is
a myth? No. freely choose be-
tween the toll and the deprivations

At least the town has more
than doubled in population since
the 1910 census.
So, let's 60 on, just as if we
had never heard of a census.
If it helps to think we are big,
so what? Let's be big! For it
takes more than numbers to
make a place big. Our reputa-
ton for hospitality, for generos-
ity, for civic ambition outruns
our actual size, and that is what
makes Seward great! I'm all for

the lack Of my wages would bring.
That must not steal, or kill.
or covet, deprives me not at all
of my freedom of will, but shows
that I choose to obey my God be-
cause I love Him.
That I, a Catholic, must assist
at Mass each Sunday, makes me
not a mental slave but proves my
agreement with the laws which my
Church has enacted for my spirit
ual welfare.
Freedom of will! A tremendous
gift! An awful gift! It lifts us
high above the beasts or drops us
down below the worms. Stupid
men who misuse it jam our jails
and asylums. Clever men who use
it ill, wallow in wealth but dread to
die. But wise men freely choose
to reject the magnified trinkets of
the worldly world in order to pay
the price that God has put on
Heaven.

We find it hard to reconcile
the figures reported by the pre-
liminary census report with the
estimated figure of last year
for Seward and vicinity Last
years estimate was made upon
the tax roll showing 100 tax
payers, according to Mrs. Ling's
figures. Advice from Del. Bart
lett at that time, was to multiply
the tax roll by three to arrive
at an estimate of the population.
Of course, non-residents, tran
sients and visitors were not en-
umerated, a few residents may
have been missed, although Mrs.
Kennedy states that there could
not have been many missed in
the combing that this town re-
ceived. Neither of these posi-
bilities however could account
for the difference of a thousand
or more in the total number
counted.
So-we are not as big as we
thought we were. Neither is
Anchorage, nor any other COM
munity, except possibly, Homer.
1t is a disappointment, but no
cause for dismay.
The optimism and enthusiasm
of the people of Alaska for this,
our country far overshadoWs
| the lack of actual numbers.
Rev. R. Ulvilden, chairman of
Board of Home Missions of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
after visiting Alaska for the
first time last month said:
lone is strangely impressed
by the enthusiasm and love for
their country on the part of the
forward looking and optimistic
people who have made their
homes here. Alaskan hospi
tally is something to write home
about. These people know how
to take care of guests and visl-
tors and are sure that they will
eventually come back to make
Alaska their home. Judging by
the huge building projects in
some places there is no doubt
that they are not entirely wrong
>. They not only tell you how
beautiful the mountains are.
how big the bears are, and sport
ing the fish, but they boast the
same way about everything. Al
aska has gotten into their blood
and they don't care who knows
it,"
The Skipper of the USS Ma

people of Seward and hope that
we may return soon to further
our friendships"
So-we may not be great in
numbers, but we seem able to
make up for it in goodwill and
clamor. I'll bet the folks back
in Washington and eau,
Cleveland, and various other
places believe, from the volume

Drop, Dr.. Dauer Says

Fewer polio cases were reported
in the District during the past
week, and fewer nonresident cases
were hospitalized here than in the
previous week, DR.. Carl c. Dauer,
director Of the Bureau Of Pre-
ventable Diseases Of the Health
Department, reported yesterday.
This indicates the peak of the

it is earlier than usual, he said.
Indications are that the diseases
will be definitely declining when
schools reopen.
Mild Type Of Infection.
"Non-paralytic cases still pre-
dominate among those reported
In the District" DR.. Dauer said.
This, plus the fact that only one
death has occurred in resident
cases reported this year and only
q few had to be placed in a respi-
rator, is evidence Of q continuing
mild type of infection in the
District"
In Roanoke Va, however, two
more children have died of polio
since Friday noon, bringing the
Southwestern Virginia death toll
for the summer to 81. Five new
cases brought the area case total

76 Cases This Year.
During the past week 10 cases
were reported in the District. three
Of which were paralytic. Sixteen
nonresident cases were reported
and two whose status was not
known. Last year for the same
week nine cases were reported.
There have been 76 cases reported

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Rufus Edwards, general manager
of the Hagerstown Braves, announc-
ed on Monday that the prices of adj
mission for the stadium this summer
(including the taxi will be-:
Bleachers, Csc; grandstand, 90c apd
reserved seats, $1.O0 This is reduc-
ton of five cents on bleacher seats,
ten cents on grandstand seats and
twenty-five cents on reserved seats.
1t was the hope of the management
that, before the season opened, Con-
CESS would have put an end to the
Federal tax on admissions, but I'M
fortunately that action has not been
taken. Since these taxes are in odd
cents, such as twelve cents tax on a
bleacher seat, the prices at the sta
dunn had to be in even figures in
order to avoid giving pennies in
change on all admissions. As an ex-
ample, had there been no admission
tax, the bleacher seats would have
been only fifty cents, but since tax
on the bleacher seat is twelve cents,
the admission price had to be made
sixty-fve cents in order to avoid the
pennies.
Needless to say, if the Federal tax
es are eliminated before theNs season
ends, the prices will be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
| looked over the work on the in
field Monday afternoon and I have
no hesitation in saying that when the
season opens, the Braves will have
just about the best infield in the
League. 1t has been thoroughly sur
veyed and an expert crew are not
only re-surfacing it, but it is also
being completely re-sodded.
l was also glad to learn that next
winter the entire outfield will also
be plowed up, levelled off and sewn
with new grass seed, and when this
job is done there is no doubt that
Hagerstown will have the best play
ing field of any of the eight teams
in the League.
This is just another proof that
Gene Raney is sparing no expense,
not only to provide fighting ball
club, but also to see to it that his
team has decent field to play on.
+
Baseball fans will also be glad to
know that Radio Station WEI has
just about completed their plans for
broadcasting all the Braves games,
both at home and on the road. The
games will be broadcast over WEI
FM, and whenever possible, they
will be broadcast on the AM station
also. But whether the AM station
carries the actual broadcast or not,
there will be every night sum-
mary of each game on AM.
AS you read this, I will be head
ed for Myrtle Beach, and l hope in
next weeks issue to give you a
story on the team that will take the
field Tuesday night April rs, for
the opening of the season.
