Our Annual Conference will con-
vene in Tucson, September 20,
which is less than two weeks away.
Many of you have not paid your
conference claims.
The Church has pledged to pay
$3.50 for every member. Heretofore,
we have gone tos many of you
and collected it. We are earnestly
asking that you bring or send it
in this Sunday or that you bring
it next as this will be your last
opportunity.
Your pastor will not be able to
call on you for your conference
claims, and too, it isn't fair to you
or your church to expect your pas
tor to call on you for it.
Those of you who have not paid
but very little this year, are by
law, automatically out of the
church, therefore, we are doing
this as a courtesy to you. Your
church needs you as never before.
Will you disappoint it?
All clubs who have not turned
in the quota for the year will
please do so Sunday. Bishop Ken
drick and his good people were
with us Wednesday evening and
brought to us a spiritual uplift and
financial help. They came in the
interest of the Senior Stewardess
Board, Mrs. Merrill, president,
Mrs. Rakestraw, secretary and
Mrs. Hickman, treasurer.

HOW RICH CAN YOU GET?
Continued from page seven

Granted the Bartletts lived a
good bit higher than the Alberts.
Still, they ended up with the same
old headache.
Also experts in the art of pairing
pennies are the Stuart Cornwalls.
Stuart owns small paper-box fac
tory, pays himself $4,000 a year.
Here's his bad news: $4,6O6 in
Federal income tax, ST ,O3O in New
York State tax. The 10-room house
they built a dozen years ago costs
$3,7lO for mortgages, taxes, heat,
insurance, utilities, recurring re-
pairs and pampering the lawn.
Twice the Albexts' Income
l HE Cornwalls have already spent
$9,346 just to keep a roof over their
heads. True, it's a fairly lavish roof.
But to ward off rain and frost and
tame the tax collector, the Corn
walls have shelled out close to the
Bartletts' entire take-home and
nearly twice the Alberts'. And re-
member, they haven't had a bite to
eat!
Food, including dinner in town
twice month, amounts to $1,000.
Their twin sons at Yale set them
back an easy $4,000 a year.
They have new Chrysler and an
old Chevrolet which Stuart drives to
the station: $500 a year for trans
portation and communication. Stuart
checks out $1,000 annually for in
surance and medical expenses, puts
Evening star., 1950-08-13

into other peoples checkbooks, that
things in their own way can be truly
tough all over.
We're not denying that the Corn
walls have it far better than the
Alberts and run a plushier menage
than the Bartletts. Marie Alberts'
four-room apartment could be
slipped into the Cornwalls' garage
with space to spare. And Marie's
son will never get to Yale. But de-
spite the disparity in their economic
levels, the two women have this in
common: the bottle of lotion on the
window sill to soothe their dishpan
hands.

What does it add up to? Each
time you turn the corner on the road
to Easy Street, the houses get
grander, the cars sleeker and the
wolf retreats farther from the door.
This is very nice.
But the figuring on the backs of
old envelopes, the deferring of the
roof job until next year, the tugging
and the pulling to close the insight
ly gap between income and outgo-
these depressing indoor sports are
pursued with equal diligence in low
cost housing projects by the high
way and Georgian mansions along
the shore drive. The End

$500 in the bank and averages $500
in contributions. He wishes the last
item were larger.
For business reasons Stuart be-
longs to two clubs-$750-neither
of which he enjoys. He spends $3.50
for his yearly custom-made suit and
other wardrobe requirements.
So far we haven't heard a word
out of Stuart's wife Elsie. That's
because she's in the kitchen stirring
up some gravy. You're right -
Elsie Cornwall, club woman, lady
of leisure, wife of a $25, ,OOO-a-year
executive, does her own cooking.
A few years ago on slightly small
er income she kept a couple. Now
she has part-time cleaning woman
and a handyman and hires a wait
ress when she entertains. After the
help is paid, there's exactly $2,O02
in the Cornwall exchequer. Out of
this Elsie clothes herself and her
teen-age daughter.
Thank goodness" she says,
"dungarees are in fashion"
Lunches at the Autonaat
WE'VE skipped Stuart's s pocket and
lunch money because it's a negligi-
bic item. Three days a week he
lunches at elegant restaurants with
his associates and charges it to the
business.
The other two days he gulps a
sandwich and coffee at the Automat
to assure himself of cigar money.
Don't worry, we're not going to
take up collection for the paupers
of the upper brackets. But it's real
comforting to know, after peeping

at the country club, $410 in allow
ances for Clyde and his two little
girls, $765 for insurance, doctors
bills and contributions.
Figuring she was entering the
leisure class, Helen hired a part
time maid and paid a weekly visit
to the beauty parlor. Annual cost:
$3.50.
Monthly payments and operating
expenses for Clyde's new Pontiac
come to $3.50. Clyde bought two $50
suits, spent $65 for haberdashery.
Helen went through $500 for clothes
for herself and the children. CLYDE
won't let her get her hands on that
much money again.
Helen flew to Nashville to see her
mother who was i'll, bought some
books and records she'd been want
ing for long time and insisted that
Clyde take two weeks off for a trip
to Mexico - their first vacation
since the war. All this seemed rea-
sonable enough for folks in their
position.
Balance Of $3.50
BUT early in December Clyde felt
shooting pains in his checkbook.
Careful examination showed that
funds on hand came to.a dizzying
$3.50. Accordingly, Christmas was
a little meager. But 1850 will be
different. They've already fired the
maid, and Helen is washing her
own hair.

Special Troin on 4fh
Said Largest Ever

The 4th of July special train
on the ARR was reported to be
the largest civilian train in the
history of Alaska. Seven crowd
ed coaches left Anchorage an
hour late, being forced to wait
for additional coaches to carry
the crowd, SO much larger than
was expected by railroad Off
Gals. 1t pulled into Seward at
2:19 pm. with $40 passengers,
many of whom had never taken
the trip over the world famous
Loop at Portage and Tunnel.
and who had never seen Sew
ard. The city made a good i'm
preston on the crowd as a
whole. The race was a thrill
to all, even though there were
hundreds of lame necks and
strained eyes afterWard.
People were found in groups
or singly at every point of van
tage, and there was no surface
noise during the race. When the
two runers in the lead were seen
to start down the cliff, the
crowd hurried to the finish
line on Fourth Avenue and the
loud speakers to see and hear
the results. Amusement was the
predominating emotion of the
hour. Even after watching the
whole race, people had trouble
to believe their own eyes at
the amazing time made on the
climb of 1922 feet, one and a
quarter miles through town,
and return.
Mr.. E. F. SENT of Mile Six,
made the greatest profit on his
investment on the day, to the
tune of $500.

IN PANHANDLE

Miss Helen Case, member Of
the staff at Jesse Lee Home, re-
turned Monday from a trek of
400 miles through Southeastern
Alaska during her 18-day vaca-
ton.
Miss Case used six modes of
travel. She had no reservations
and more or less hitchhiked by
any boat or plane that had a
vacancy. Leaving Seward by
train, she joined Mrs. Gertrude
Jurgeleit,, former Public Health
nurse of Seward. They took a
Jeep to Haines where they visit
ed at Haines House, children's
home similar to the one here.
At Haines, Miss Case got pas
sage on the barge Chilkoot to
Juneau, the mail boat Yakobi to
Petersburg, plane to Sitka
where she visited old friends at
the Sheldon Jackson Junior Col
lege and Mt. Edgecumbe, then
boarded the SIS Denali for Sew

She saw more country and
visited more celebrated spots on
the trip than she had seen dur

dence in the Panhandle, Miss
Case said.

Interior Dept.
Reply Very
Indefinite

Last month when the annual
excitement anent the DISPOSE
ton of the ARR in Seward was
at its height, Mayor Eugene
Lanier wrote to Secretary Chap
man, Department of the Interior,
requesting a definite word that
would settle once and for all
the unrest in Seward, saying
that the economic balance of
+, the city must be adjusted to
compensate for possible with
draWal of the railroad. Copies
of letter from Delegate Bart
lett to the Interior Department
were sent here, saying that it
is owing to the people of Sew
ard that Department officials
recognize their right to know
the future plans, and that the
decision one way or the other
should be made known.
The following indecisive letter
saying exactly nothing in 1879
words was received today:
July 3, 1850
MY dear Mayor Lanier:
This will acknowledge your
i letter of June II regarding the
Seward-Portage line of The AL
aska Railroad and the dock
facilities at Seward.
This Department fully appre-
ciates the great Importance Of
this question to the people of
Seward. 1t is precisely because
of its importance that no simple
and final positive solution has
yet been reached. Involved are
TACTICAL and strategic military
considerations, operating prob
lens of the railroad, develop
ment of highways, and the in,
dustrial and commercial future.
of the rail belt. Also of vital
importance is the attitude of
Congress towards further appro-
priations for reconstruction of
the railroad. We are using our
best efforts to develop a plan
which will have the maximum
advantages in view of all the
, factors involved.
J you will be advised of any
proposed change in service to
Seward as far in advance as
possible.
Sincerely yours,
William E. Warne
Acting Secretary of the
! Interior
Nothing was said in theMay-
or's letter about the present
management of the ARR, since
responsibility for the disposition
of the Seward Portage end
seems to be out of the hands of
local management and to rest
entirely with the Interior De-
partment. 1t seemed, therefore,
only fair that the department
should stop clubbing and give
tho naop1a q definite rep1v
