One overly enthusiastic Munoz

abusing the opposition. Munoz
Immediately got to his feet. and
in the manner of a kindly friend
said, 81 am sure that all you say
is true, but we must be forgiving
even to our enemies. Let us not
try to outshout them. Just let us
outvote them" And the great
crowd roared its approval.
No one of the 48 States of the
Union enjoys more actual local
autonomy in the matter of legis-

its own problems or in the levy

taxes collected, including income

more than 100000 people in the

Editorial

Is the trick custom the primer for gangsterism? Con- siderable concern has been ex- pressed, not only in Seward, but in national magazines, over the trend of the fairly recent custom of ''trickS-or-treatS" on HalloW- cen.
 It has been pointed out that among older children, from the age of 12 up, the custom is be- coming vicious. If the treat is not big enough, or does not satisfy the tricksters, minor dam age to property can be expected.
 The time honored custom of treating small children to candy, cookies, fruit or pennies is a part of childhood. But the prac- tice of bigger children, teen agers, to exact tribute or threat en annoyance is nothing but a racket and a beginning of gang sterism.
 We are told of one girl last year who boasted of collecting S13 on Halloween by tricks or-treats," others collected small Ter sums, but several refused pennies and demanded larger coins. In this country where

 Also, the thing should be con- fined to one night, and not be carried through three or four IS has been done.
 Extra patrolmen are hired every year to control the Hal lowe'en season. This is costly to taxpayers, but necessary for pro- lection. This year, ALL CHILD REIN will be watched. Only on Halloween night will any child be allowed to practice tricks or-treats' If parents will CO., operate by cautioning child ren, it will not be necessary to invoke an ordinance holding parents liable for the depre- dations of their children.

The G,adGe Roe9e4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

I was talking this morning about Alaska and Seward with some people who have been here little longer than I have, but the consensus of opinion was this. There is something about Alaska that twines itself about the heartstrings of any person who comes here with the inten- ton to live and be a part of the country and community. Sever al families have left recently, but we look to see them back before many years. It has happened many times in the past and will happen again.
 Seward, with it's population of a little over 200O would be considered a hamlet, a village back in the States, but in the Territory it ranks with the five largest or most important com munities. People arrive here with good intentions of reform ing the city. After a while they too, are assimilated, naturalized, aclimatized, whatever you want to call it. At any rate, they grad ually and unconsciously change their way of thinking. I have seen it happen so many times in the last four years, and so have you.
 We are all in the same boat, or to carry out simile, we are little island, still cut off from the homeland and in a large measure from the rest of the Territory. What we have, what we do, how we live is largely up to ourselves. To ourselves as a group, and as individuals. There is no room for isolationism ip any other than the isolation of the whole.
 We as individuals and as groups, whether it be in civic, social or religious groups, must all pull together in order to lie together happily. The organ ization or group insisting upon living within itself, refusing to cooperate with others, will even tually be ostracised, shrivel up and die of it's own weight. For this is Alaska.
 Seward is known far and wide as the Friendly City, it is rapid ly becoming known as the Con- vention City also. Its friendliness is offered to every stranger who shows any desire to be friendly. True, that friendliness takes many forms. But it is there and due largely to the inter-denom- national, inter organizational, inter-club cooperation which is so strong here, and which has grown out of the old feeling of geographical isolation. Unfor. tunately that friendly coopera- ton is one of the first elements
Seward seaport record., 1950-10-27

to be lost by the growth and de velopment of community.
 As a town grows up each group, each organization puts it's effort into the increase and growth of itself, forgetting the beautiful cooperation for the good of the whole.
 Don't let that happen in Sew ard! Let's continue to work to- gether, Catholic and Protestant, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, etc, civic and social, all for the good of the whole community; and Alaska.
