The Y CradG Rosee.
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

It seems to me that the in tended functions of the C of C committee is to assist the city council Gf that body desires as sistance) in planning future heavy expenditures, especially bond issues, rather than crit icism of the conduct of the pres ent council, although the latter assumption might well be i'm piled.
 Some one said that the taXpay- CTS know little of what is going on in the city. feel compelled to state on that subject that if anyone or everyone in Seward does no know what the city council has been doing, the fault is their own. There has not been single closed meet ing in two years. The city books and council minutes are open to public and individual inspec- ton at all times, and every per son in Seward is welcome to at tend council meetings. That they do not, is certainly not he fault of the governing body.
 It might, however be inter esting to the people to give brief resume e the highlights of city business for the past two years-during which the mayor and three senior councll- men were in office, and will be until October 2
 The list of accomplishments is too long to account in detail, It may be itcresting to know however, that the city building, housing the fire hall, city offices and council cham 0crs, d &9o, GOO building vas completed and is free of debt. The city jail was remodeled. and .s conceded by visiting police officers 10 be one of the best ;0 the Territory. The police departm-:I was increased and now compares very t2VOra- bly with any city in Alaska,

A garage was opened to care for city equipment, eliminating heavy maintenance charges on vehicles. This includes gaso- line pump which has proved a great saving on fuel and oil.
 A quantity of new fire hose and special equipment adds to the fire safety Offices were provided for the Public Health Nurse and Public Welfare De- partment.
 The Brown homestead tract was added to the city, O. pening many blocks of fine resi- dential building sites, although it has not been surveyed and subdivided to date. F i f t e e n blocks of street have been O. pened and graded plans for sidewalks on Fifth Avenue and from Adams to the high school on Fourth Avenue are now in process-a survey is necessary first.
 A D-6 caterpillar buldozer tractor, street grader and scoop mobile, the first two new mach inery, are now owned by the city. The Housing Area was ac- quired from the Government and turned into a paying pro- position.
 Title to 10 improved lots in Federal and Cliff additions was purchased by the city from the I~~' Office. IT. se lots had been so71 on uuit-claim and warren tv deo9s from 1927 10 1945, but had never been patented, and were still claimed by the Land Office, although improved h" homes. The present owners had no t;ho p~t---'- -T~ -cW being i>suo9. a~d titles will be clear e1 Av. th;s pro"e6@re.
 None of t-.s property was so'd by tle present council.
 As Of the end of the fiscal year. June 30. the city bo2'ls carriod an unexpended balance Of St-.c23.71, the first in seV- eral years which was entirely co tho black s de of the ledger.
 Tier was never a governing body, un;cipal or state, which did not merit crit;Ciso7. Being human, they make mistakes, Al so, being human they deserve ard shou'd have all the assist ance that can be given. It should not be for otton, however, that is m elected body, serving un- paid, and it's time h o u d not be consumed in futile ar gument over opinions other than those of it's members.
 This assisting committee for financing and planning can work out, if it is handled correctly it will surely fail if mishand led or misunderstood.

Among the pictures saved from

German count and his wife, both
Of whom are wearing long robes
The robe of the count had about
the same length as that Of the
countess.
/ Fashions were different in diff
ferent countries, and they changed
with passing time. This is brought
out when person studies hun
dreds of pictures made by French
German, English and other artists
during a period of a thousand
years.
Many men of the Middle Ages
wore short gowns along with short
trousers or breeches. The gowns
were gathered at the waist ano
sometimes failed to reach as fal
as the knees.

It is a convenient abbreviation in

Office Latin.

In several previous articles I have
tried to point out the advantage o1
getting business letters out of the
Middle Ages. In debating business
letters, many a hard-headed execu-
tive thinks he is in the groove
when he is really in a rut.
ONCE Latin is q carry-over from
the dear, dead days Of elegance ano
grace, when letters were leisurely
written in Spencerian curlicues, and
when there was time to compose
scholarly and "highfalutin" COM
mercial prose. But both the type
writer and the efficient stenographel
are here to stay, and Latin, the
dead language, Should be allowed
to rest in peace.
We should avoid such archaic
cliches as:
"As per your request" Per is
Latin for through; by means of;
by" Hence, "as per" is nonsense
Such expressions as "per diem, per
annum, miles per hour" are better
usage when put into English. Say;
Five dollars day; ten thousand
dollars year; one hundred miles
an hour.

covered the feet, a piece of leather
being sewed to the cloth under
each foot. In other cases, shoes or
boots were worn. Shoes with long
points, stretching out several
inches in front of the toes, were
in favor with men during one
period.
Ladies of the Middle Ages often
wore dresses which reached to the
ground. Now and then the dress,
or skirt, of a lady trailed five or
six feet behind her, and would
have gathered more dust than it
did except for a maid who held up
the trailing part.
Strange fashions in hats were
followed by ladies of the castles.
Among their hats we're some
which had horns rising above
them. There were two horns in
most cases, but some women wore
three-horned hats.
Another popular hat, worn near
the end of the Middle Ages, was
the steeple hat. It was of cone
shape, and rose two or three feet
aboHe the head. Many women
Evening star., 1951-04-02

wore their steeple hats on a slant
but the hats still went far up into
the air and made the ladies look
extremely tall. In one castle, the
doorways were made higher so
that the queen could pass through
without knocking off her hat.
