Now that our portrait Of Jerry
is almost ending, let us notice a
few psychological points concern
ing the situation Audrey was
lined upon one side practically
alone. On the parasitic side were:
Jerry's family, Sal and Sails
friends and Jerry's friends with
whom he lived and their entire
family Of cousins, aunts, parents
everyone. Jerry did something
for all Of them. This was because
Cf their continual flattery Of him
and continual fawning upon him.
There were some who limited at
other hidden relationships be.
tween Jerry and those mentioned.
But we really couldn't say. We
only know that Jerry Was getting
nowhere fast. He had once held
everything-all the cards, social
position, a good adoring wife, one
who worried about his welfare
and kept him level headed, poll.
teal power, and chance to ad.
vance. He still retained a little
money, and therein lay his down.
fall-that and his ego. He still
retained a position Of some power
and as long as he had that, he had
these friends.
His false friends were fighting
like dogs for his money. They
had to be subtle about it, and so
they gradually wormed their way
into his good gracesA They really
cared nothing for him, in fact
they laughed together about what
a chump they had found. But to
his face, they were all deceit and
attention-at his beck and call.
1t was, Eyes Mr.. Jerry" as they
sa1aamed before him. This was
all he wanted, he thought, but
after awhile he got sick of it
when he realized it was empty.
He had told Audrey that he
didn't want her kind Of sincere
alteration but he began to yearn
for it. And he really loved her
as she really loved him.

dear readers is the attitude of
many unscrupulus women and

ness Of mates who are at variance

part them permanently. People

REFLECTIONS

For years my hearts been neg
lected,
To admit this, Indeed have no
shame.
The beautiful dreams I planned
and expected,
Have gone up in smoke and in
flames.
1t was for you I built Spanish
Castles,
It was you who invaded each
dream.
Bedecked in a sheer silken man
tie,
Rejecting the silvery moons
beam.
Now alone in the world l am
living,
With dead hopes, shattered
dreams and memories.
While to another your love you
are giving,
I still cherish love that could
not be.
Now I hope all your days will
be happy,
And as a queen you will always
remain,
That the end will be both swee-
and snappy,
Net remorsefully filled with
pain.
Tho these words are only thu
echo,
Of a lonesome and broken heart
How an affair will end, we d,
not know.
Regardless Of how sweet was thu

AIIocufion of Tobacco Tox Fund Recommended

At a meeting of superintend- ents of the schools of the Terri tory held in Juneau on January 13 and 14, the following recom- mendation for distribution of the tobacco tax was made:
 1. Allocation of $3O0O for each school.
 2. Half the remainder to be allocated to the schools of the Territory on the basis of aver age daily attendance.
 g. The remaining portion to be allocated on the basis of the number of professional en- ployees.
 This recommendation will be transmitted by Dr. James C. Ryan, commissioner of educa- ton, to the Territorial Board of Education at it's meeting later this spring. Since the law, which was passed by the 1949 Legis- lature, did not provide for dis tribution of the funds, the Terri torial Board of Education will have to determine the basis of distribution. It is very probable that the plan advanced will be adopted as it will be the one presented by the commissioner and already approved by the school superintendents of the Territory Under this plan, the Seward school would receive about S16,50O from the first years collections under the to- bacco tax. This amount may not be used to meet current ex- penses. Its uses are limited to remodeling, repair, or new con- struction.
 During the period beginning April 1, 1949, and ending Sep etmber 30, 1949, the amount of S299,000 was taken in through this tax. It appears that at least S500,0O0 will be realized from the tax during the first year of operation. *.. .:. ...

Squure Dance Contest Instructions

Several teams of square danc- CTS are being made ready for the contest which is to take place at goo pm, Saturday, Feb. 4, immediately proceeding the March of Dimes Dance in the Civic Center.
 Because most of the square dancing has been done by rec ords, both here and in other communities, the Committee has agreed that records shall be used in the contest.
 Any favorite number may be used for "Warm-up' dance, but the contest will be judged during the playing of the record, The Playing of the Green"
 Contestants have asked that the floor be free of wax for the square dance, as the rapid move ments are hard to execute upon a very slippery floor Mrs. Jerry Moves, president of the Junior Woman's Club. who are sponsoring the March of Dimes Dance, has agreed that the floor will not be. Waxed until after the contest.
 All teams should register with Mrs. Moves, except the visitors, whose registration will be ac- cepted upon their arrival in town.

Work On Fire Hall Progressing

Work is progressing rapidly oa the interior of the new fire hall. Studding is in place out lining the partitions and part of the building is ceiled.
 The City Clerks office and the office for Seward Electric System will occupy the front of the building. A large Council chamber, separated from the offices by a hall, takes up the center section, and a five room apartment vii be situated in the back half of the second floor
 The new safe, weighing near ly 4OO0 pounds, was lifted in through the second floor win dow by means of the Stewart & Muir crane. The safe occupies a small room set aside for the storage of public records. It is fireproof and burglar proof, and the first adequate deposi- tory for records owned by the City of Seward
 The fire siren at Adams and Third Avenues, is being remov- ec to its new position atop the fire hall today. Workmen could not say whether it would be ready for testing tonight, but in all probability the town will be notified before the test, so as not to cause any undue alarm.
 Seward will soon have city building to be proud of, and due mostly to the personal eff forts of members of the Volun- teer Fire Department and some individual craftsmen in town.

Friendship Tickets On Sale Saturday In Local Stores

Friendship tickets, which have been explained many times, and will be explained again, will go on sale Saturday in local stores.
 Instead of attempting to fur nish public dinner for the visi- tors at the Potlatch, not know ing how many to prepare for, and thinking to save time and money for residents of Seward, the Potlatch Committee devised the Friendship Ticket plan. Girl Scouts will visit the residential area with tickets. Each purchas- CT will write his name on the ticket, and the Girl Scout will turn both the ticket and money in to Jack Werner, chairman of the committee.
 The S2.OO ticket entities one person to. one meal at any res taurant or cafe in Seward One Friendship Ticket and one Visi- tors Tag will be given each wis itor when he checks in at the edge of town on Feb. 3. The Friendship Ticket incorporates a request to the visitor to make the acquaintance of the donor while in Seward.
 The Potlatch Committee asks the cooperation of all residents of Seward in financing this, the First Annual Kenai Peninsula Potlatch, and the biggest event of many years in Seward
 Bake sales are very common and popular in Seward. It sell dom costs less than S2OO to make a contribution to a bake sale. besides the worry and bother of baking and getting the goods to the sale. Besides which, most contributors buy something else from the safe. This Friend ship Ticket plan eliminates the trouble of baking and selling and costs you no more.
 It is hoped that the little girls will be received graciously and the tickets accepted readily.
 If you prefer, you may pur- chase your ticket, signifying your friendship and hospitality to the people of Homer, Kenai, Kasilof, Ninilchik, Soldotna, Naptowne, Cooper Landing, Hope, and Moose Pass, in any store in town.
