Mrs. w. C. Erwin was named as Stewards candidate for Alas ka's Mother of the Year by the membership of the Seward Wo- mans Club this week.
 Mother of three sons, two of whom attained the honor roll in college this year, and the other succeeding eminently in his chosen profession, Mrs. Erwin is well known among women of Seward as steady, vitalizing influence for culture and good home life.

It is becoming worthwhile to save because it's
value in the markeplace has steadied. At the same
time it is becoming more worthwhile to spend because
it commands higher quality and variety Of goods at
stable prices
We can this situation in our retail stores today
Naturally the dollar doesn't buy what it did in past
times-current wages taxes and other costs preclude
that But its value isn't going steadily downh either
AS Miss Porter also observed, q it has regained
respect and responsibility" Let's all pray it keeps
those characteristics.

Rare Praise From
Soviet Official for
Britain and US.

MOSCOW, R-Marshal Georgi
K. Zhukov, concentrating the
World War Ii victory IN Europe,
conceded Sunday that Britain and
the United States played a heroic
wartime role. But afterwards, he
charged, America turned toward
policy of aggression.
A lengthy article by the first
deputy defense minister was dis
played prominently in Pravda, the
Communist Party organ, to mark
We Day May 8, 1945. The piece
was considered an event because
prominent officials seldom write
for Soviet newspapers and such
praise for the West is rare
Zhukov paid particular tribute
to President Eisenhower and
Britain's Field Marshal Viscount
Montgomery, saying, "it was I'M
der their leadership that the Uni
ted States and British forces re-
peatedly routed the German
fascist troops"
Assailing Americas later Gag
gressive foreign policy" he said
US. ruling circles ''have created
a large number of military bases
and various military blocs di-
rected against the Soviet Union
and the Peoples Democracies."
Zhukov said Russia was undis-
mayed, however, because it has
the worlds best army.
He said that the people Of Eur
ope and Asia do not want to be
cannon fodder" for the United
States and never will accept her
"anti-democratic IDEAS"

Dulles Says us. Wants
Southeast Asia Alliance
To Fight Red Aggression
SHINGTON

WASHINGTON, RASecretary
Of State Dulles said Tuesday the
United States wants Southeast
Asian alliance which would pledge
member nations to fight if openly
challenged by Communist aggres-
sion.
While Dulles said he hopes such
an alliance will cover all Of Indo-
china, he asserted firmly that the
loss of some or all Of that country
would not necessarily bring the
loss Of all Southeast Asia.
The secretary noted that Presi-
dent Eisenhower once advanced
the theory that Southeast Asia
might 60 down like a row Of dom
inoes if Indochina falls. Dulles
went on to say that in conversa-
tons with friendly nations the
United States is trying to create
a situation in which this will not
happen.
