can force the owner of a cabin
cruiser to get the craft off the bot
tom of the Anacostia River.
The scuttled boat is the 44-foot
Marion, listed as belonging to Alvin
M Cole, Suitland, Md. All but the
prov is submerged in about 10 feet
of water a short distance of the
eastern bank of the river near
Sousa Bridge.
1t. Otha Sanders of the Harbor
Precinct yesterday sent Corpl.
Charles Parker to the Corporation
Counsel's Office in Municipal Court
to find out whether a criminal
statute forbids an owner to abandon
a boat in this condition There
is a law against leaving derelicts
in a navigation channel here, but
the Marion is not in the channel.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King could find nothing on
the books. But he said the District
may be able to file civil suit to
force the owner to move the boat,

New Chi!dren's Ward Ar Sunaforium

One of the most charming sights seen in a long while is the new children's ward at the Home In The Woods Hospital. Gayly dec orated shelves by each little white bed lend an air of cheerfulness unexpected in such surroundings.
 The children range in ages sev- enteen months to thirteen years. Toys and craftwork material are available in the ward.
 Everything is set to child-size use The bathtubs are raised from the floor so the nurses will not have to bend while bathing the children. Bathing seventeen chill dren could almost make a perma- nent crook in the back.
 Archie. the seventeen-months old boy, is the youngest. He has a huge collection of soft wooly dolls, many of them as large as he is. Hilda, tiny little girl of the Dio- medes Islands has not learned to speak English. But she has re- sponded to training in the past few days by learning to eat.
 These children are as happy as children usually are. They don't know much about illness, and with the good care they are receiving the chances are pretty good that they will continue to be happy

Tuesday Election Held Vital

\(Continued from Page D pie can no longer be ignored, than by turning in 9 record vote?
 A large vote is important to us in another way. No one knows or cares too much about what hap pens to our town except ourselves. No one but resident and business man of Seward knows just what particular problems concern us locally and what we expect from ne next Legislature. Consequently we MUST be represented in that Legislature. We have the choice this year of two men from this town. Both parties stand strongly fr the elimination of fish traps, and both can be depended upon to work for the greatest good of Seward.
 No one can do it but just our e'YcS, and We must not leave this vital decision up to the other vOt- ,ts in the Third Division. We must not sit back and wait to see what they will do about it. The life of Seward is too important to gam ble with The people of Seward MUST get out and vote, men and women alike. IL is our last chance to do something constructive for urSelVeS

SEWARD SHOULD CAST RECORD VOTE

Next Tuesday the of Alaska go the polls elect
 delegate Congress- attorney general, auditor and high engineer well pass the controversial fish trap measure and their territorial and representa- tives to the Legislature.
 While the editor has pretty we'll made up his mind on the candidates and issues involved he believes that the of Seward likewise have done and for try ing to influence them his way of thinking.
 It is perhaps unfortunate because of limited time, expense anal distances involved that of the candidates could completely the district and that quite few of them have had pass up Seward However, of them we'll enough known the average personal following for election
 That party line will not be strictly followed quite evident by past history, The number of who will stra gh tckct only be estimated after the final 1and 1t undoubtedly will be several days before of the closer contests definitely decided
 We have followed the fish trap controversy with consd erable and find that the ballot does call for n- mediate abo on ot fish taps but for their gradual ellna ton ovc period of time The probabilities that the fight will be ,t.,cd for ycra years.
 Our hope is that the issue, we'll the selection of aur ic will be decided by ma ority of the voters of Alaska and not by small minority.
 The nv way to achieve this is to go the polls Tuesday and VOTE.
