Baree Un'oaded In Good Time

Dock Superintendent Tom Jones said Wednesday that the unload ing of the Railroad Barge 754 was being accomplished with good speed and efficiency
 He took The Record reporter on an inspection of the steel barge, which during World War II had been used as floating machine shop by the United States Navy.
 The big steel vessel, capable of carrying 240O tons of cargo, is equipped with galley and mess room, and is well lighted and ven- tilated. The spacious holds at one time held sleeping quraters for per sonnel employed on the floating machine shop, type of vessel which was great aid in keeping the fleet at sea for long periods.
 While the barge was in port the Railroad installed a power gener- ator on the dock so that city power facilities would not be forced to take on an added load at this time.
 This will be the last Railroad barge to discharge cargo at Sew ard, since the termination of the strike has also terminated the emergency.

Fire Makes Movinq Easy for Sewardifes

Lloyd Thornton, son-in-laW of Bob Duffy, arrived in Seward from Seattle Tuesday afternoon, and within two hours took such lik- ing to the town of Seward that he decided to make this city his home. Mrs. Thornton with their son, Robert, came to Seward several months ago to visit her parents while MT. Thornton made a trip to Yokohama. On his return from Yokohama, Thornton learned that the Everett, Wash, warehouse con- taining all their household goods had burned.
 Many trophies MT. Thornton had won in the prize ring were lost, as we'll as pictures, family records and keepsakes.
 The Duffys were little more fortunate in having brought some of their family possessions to Sew ard when they arrived two years ago, but they also lost most of their belongings in the same ware house fire in the Everett ware house.

 While not much definite inform ation concerning the jurisdictional dispute between the two water front unions has been available in Seward to date, it is known that other scheduled sailings of the Alaska Line have not been can celled, this indicates that an early end to the dispute is expected.
 While there is at the moment a shortage of meat in some local markets, with the arrival of ships now under way it is believed that there will be sufficient stocks to carry the town for some time.

Sentence Sermons

Cor AMP

!. Being thankful Is not saying it
with your lips, then when your
neighbor begins to prosper, look at
God with your hands on your hips.
2. But Thanksgiving springs high
er in Gods trackless as we move to-
ward the unfortunate, and with them
our blessings share.
8. For those who have health,
sight, hands and feet can best eX-
press their Thanksgiving by aiding
those who are only half living.
4, Real Thanksgiving, surely can
not mean a song book in one hand, a
dagger in the other, and a heart of
hate in the center.
b. The Thanksgiving this old world
and God are chaving for, is the kind
that is genuinely felt from door to
door.
6, The Thanksgiving that is as
sounding brass or a tinkling Gym
bal" is the kind for lack of sin.
cereity, hardly fills thimble.
4 Those earnest Pilgrim fathers
when arriving upon an unknown
shore, forget their privations and
hardships and God only, they began
to adore
s. But today the day of Thanks
giving has become careless pas
time, when folks no longer gather
for public worship, but only hurry
around to dine.
3, Today. In this land of plenty,
with modern improvements. luxur-
les, travel and temples royal of
creed and choice. man for the most
part has become worldly minded,
and to God, won't even raise his
voice.
10. How can a man expect to real
ly prosper, arrayed in luxury like
a king yet never raises his head to
thank God. much less His praises
sing.
II. Ingratltude is the curse of the
fortunate; it is eating at the vitals
OF the race . thus man is liable
to crowd himself out backwards.
without sufficient space to hide his
face
-
II. But now let those who know
their God and His matchless mercies
to all mankind, renew their faith,
increase their love and give endless
thanks Ia the father above.
