Seword Places 3rd In Commercial Contest

Commercial students in the Seward schools placed third in the Territory-Wide postal con test in business subjects this year. The contest, which ori- ginated with Mrs. Hazel Muir, instructor in the Seward schools, is in it's third year and received entries from every high school except Anchorage and Palmer
 The local school took first place vast year but lost to Ket- chikan with .36 points this year and Juneau with 35, to Stewards 1853 score of IT. Fairbanks scored only 4 this year; Sitka 2; Valdez 1 and 12 for Kodiak and Petersburg.
 The contest is scored by in dividual and team papers, so that a single paper may score highest but lower scores by the team may decrease the total mark. Thus, in Shorthand I, Mae Vinberg with a score of 99 placed sixth in the series, but the Seward team placed third.
 Shorthand II, Audrey Denton placed first with a score of 23.8, TO team scores in this series
 Two Seward girls placed fifth and eighth in the bookkeeping contest Carol Ann Trevethan made 133 and Audrey Denton, 130. Ketchikan made total of 135 to take the series.
 In Typing I, Seward placed eighth and thirteenth, with Ju- neau taking the top place. In the one minute dash, Seward placed sixth, individually, and fourth as team.
 Percentage of accuracy on in dividual papers, Shirley Horton of Seward took first place with score of 968. Janice Frampton and Ava Doyle also placed, mak- ing the Seward team second with a score of 91.2. This series went to Juneau.
 In Typing II, the Seward team placed third in two series and first in one, bringing the total contest score to Ketchikan, Ju- neau, Seward, in that order.
 School enrolment makes the contest uneven, since Seldovia with only 8 students is contest ing against Fairbanks with an enrolment of 382, Ketchikan with 264, Juneau with 251, and Seward with 105. Plans are being made now to give the smaller schools a more equal chance in future contests. In ad- dition to territorial schools en- tering the postal contest, the service schools of Eielsen, Adak and Kodiak Navy also entered this year.

mined to get an education. He
left the railroad and enrolled in
Oregon State College. He was
due to graduate in agriculture
in June, 1917. but he had left a
couple of months before that
for the Army. His diploma was
mailed to him at the first Off
GERS training camp. at San
Francisco.
Harold Burton, now an asso-
ciate justice Of the Supreme
Court. was one of the young men
in his unit at the training camp.
He married Mabel Hill on
March 81. 1917, on entering the
service. They had three children,
a son and two daughters. The
son was killed at 10 in an auto
mobile accident. The daughters
are Shirley (Mrs. Wayne Hadley)
and Mary Lou (Mrs. Lester
Green). Mrs. Hadley has four
children.
When Mr.. Mckay got out of
the hospital after the war, he
got a job selling Fords in Port
land. He obtained the Chevrolet
agency in Salem in 1927. He was
quite successful, although his
territory did not give him an op-
portunity to build up a business

who from time to time has
topped the list of Chevrolet

In 1888 there was great dissat-
isfaction among the leading citi-
zens with Salem's municipal af-
fairs. A committee was organized
to do something about it. Mr..
Mckay was member and was
asked to run for Mayor.

and the Bureau Of Reclamation
have made costly surveys of this
project, duplication which was
sharply criticized in the Hoover
reports.
Issue on Steam Plants.
Another thing he will have to
commit himself on is how to get
standby steam plants built.
Conservatives of both parties in
Congress have been against Fed
eral agencies building steam
plants because they have been a
development of private industry.
But private capital cannot be
prof1tably invested in steam
plants that are seasonal stand
bys for hydroelectric power. Mr..
Mckay is said to favor having
private industry build them an6
the Government amortize the
investment.
For more than 200 miles the
Columbia is the border between
Oregon and Washington. The
people of the two States have
much the same background.
They migrated there by covered
wagons, ships, railroads, automo-
biles and airplanes. But due to
differences in political leadership
they are of two schools of
thought about power. In WASH
ington about IS per cent of the
power distribution is public.
Seattle and Tacoma have mu-
nicipally owned systems. In
Oregon most of the distribution
is owned by private capital. Mr..
Mckay is from Oregon.
Mr.. Mckay was born in Port
land on June "a. 1893. Two of
his grandparents came to Oregon
before it was a Territory; they
didn't know whether they were
in the United States or Canada.
His father was a carpenter.
There was a separation followed
by divorce and at 13 Douglas
had to go to work to support
his mother and sister.
He drove a meat wagon for a
year for the Portland Market.
The pay was 81 day which was
pretty good for a diminutive
youngster. Then he went to work
for the Union Pacific as Office
boy. He was with the railroad
for about three years, rising to
clerk in the accounting depart
ment.

high school and he was deter

tirely for flood control. Two
dams now under construction
will have power plants producing
100000 kilowatts each, which
will fit into the Northwest power
grid.
This grid is an interesting de-
velopment of the Northwest. It
is Federal transmission system,
a pool into which flows the
power from the great hydro
electric projects (the dams and
which the private power COM
panieS and the municipality
owned ones draw from and con-
tribute to.
Fall Cuts Power.
Their contributions are i'm
portant because both have steam
plants. The Columbia River and
it's tributaries with the dams
now in operation or under con-
struction will, produce about Is
per cent Of the Nations hydro
electric power. The river has
the best all-year-'round flow of
any with the exception of the
Niagara and the st. Lawrence.
But in the fall the flow of water
is down to the point where there
is a power shortage. Last fall
the shortage was especially
acute. When the lights go out
in the cities in the fall the pow
er from the steam plants goes
into the grid and through it to
industries.
When President Roosevelt or
dered the Bonneville Dam built
in 1884, in part as a make work
project, the power companies
and many of their volunteer sup
porters said it was a bit of boom
doggling; there never would be
a market for that power. Dur
ing the war aluminium and air.
plane plants were built in the
Northwest and despite new dams
every one is in agreement that
there is a dearth of power.
Bonneville produces 100000
kilowatts. Since then Grand
Coulee has been built which pro-
duces l million kilowatts. The
McNary Dam under construction
will produce 100000.
One of the first things Mr..
Mckay will have to take a stand
on is who is going to build the
Hell's Canyon Dam on the Snake
River. a tributary to the Colum-
bia.

itself clearly. It Is a pattern of
government by and through a
huge Federal corporation - a
Federal corporation which would
be controlled and dominated by
three men. And these three men,
to obtain their appointment,
must subscribe to the corporate
philosophy of government which
this eva bill represents. I am
unalterably opposed to any such
philosophy of government :"
II have had occasion to work
with the Congress on various
problems affecting our people.
I know how much work and time
it can take to get the answer,
and can easily understand why
people something's get impatient
with our governmental processes.
But I want to say, with all
the emphasis I can command,
that there is no short and easy
method of self-government.
Every nation that has at
tempted to take short cuts away
from the winding path of de-
mocracy has wound up with state
socialism and dictatorship.
"The short cut never leads
back to the trail.
More than anything else, I
want to urge the vital impor-
tance of protecting and preserv-
ing our system of free govern
ment. We have no greater re-
source to conserve.
Let us be patient with the
methods of democracy. Let us
be willing to work understand
ingly to find the answers to our
problems within the framework
of democracy.
Il have great confidence in our
ability to make our present
system Work-if we work."
Later before the Senate Com
mittee on Public Works he had
this to say:
Il want to emphasize: I have
no quarrel with whether it is
private or public power. say
that the people will decide that.
If they want public power. that
is all right with me. In fact, I
voted against the power COM
panies on Senate Bill 80 (Ore-
gon; was one of three Senators
who supported public ownership
against the power companies"
Engineers Would Engineer.
He was asked about the Hoover
report recommendation to put
the Bureau OF Reclamation and
the civil functions of the Corps
of Engineers in lone big agency"
and he replied:
Il would not like that. I
do not like to see the Army
engineers, for instance, divorced
from the idea of engineering
which is one of vast Importance
to us in times of emergency"
The views he expressed proba-
bly, will prevail through the COM
ing administration. There will
not be another IVA in the Ma
ton for a long time to- come.
But that does not mean any
cessation in the building of
great dams where power can be
developed at low cost. Mr.. Nc
Kay is dead set against letting
the white coaI' go to waste by
flowing down hill without turn
ing turbines. He is also all for
preventing flood damage.
He has had lot of experience
in flood control through his Is
years on the Willamette River
Basin Commission. The river
goes on the rampage OCCASION
ally and has caused great dam
age. The commission cooper
ated with the Corps of Engi-
neers in working out a plan of
flood control and then went to
work on getting Congress to au-
thorize and appropriate for the
projects.
