Miss Aerzig of New York Here to Investigate the Seward Sanitarium

For the past or 6 months members of the Seward Regis tered Nurses Association have been very much concerned over the rapid Turnover" in the nurs- ing staff at the Seward Sanator- ium.
 They had recently set up a plan which was ready to be pre- sented to the proper persons in authority within a few days.
 Timed beautifully with their call meeting of Tuesday evening was the arrival of Miss F. Herzig a woman trained to set up work able modern policies in just such places.
 Miss HerZig of New York, is from the US. Public Health Dept and is being loaned to the Ter ritorial Tuberculosis Association for only one year.
 She comes to us from south eastern Alaska. and is to con- tact all parts of Alaska before her return to the states.
 Miss Ruth Murrel, Supt. of Nur- seS at the Seward General, and Miss Herzig have been very busy setting up fine workable pro- gram. One which will not only meet the needs of the Sanatorium

Before leaving the States an outstanding priviledge was mine, an opportunity to visit the Free dom Train. With thousands of others l stood in line many hours, waiting and listening to the conversation about me when suddenly the Freedom Train came roaring out of the pages of his tory. She is a smoothly stream lined train and powered with a mighty Diesel electric locomotive but she looked not unlike any other sleek modern passenger limited. She is different though.
 Roaming her silent corridors while on this tour of the 48 states are the ghosts of Ameri- can history's great men and women. They were brave men and women; brave enough and oftines just adventurous enough 10 battle through the ages to give America it's Heritage of Freedom. There was Christopher Columbus who sat alone in his cabin on the high seas of the stormy Atlantic in 1493 and wrote a letter to a friend about a. new world he had found. The friend published that letter and it lies today enclosed in a heavy glass case aboard the Freedom Train.
 Another ghost is Peter Zenger. who had a notion about the freedom of the press and when he spoke of it too loudly in his New York Weekly Journal. back in l734. he found himself editing his paper from jail. He was vim dicated by a jury, however. and thus paved the way for the free doms enjoyed by the nations press today.
 Even the galloping ghost of Paul Revere, who rode through the night to spread the alarm that the British were coming. is near at hand. Among it's treasured lore of documents is the original of the commission to Revere, signed by General Warren, to serve as the official messenger on that nieht of April 18 1775.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE GOES TO ANCHORAGE

Among those who left his home in Seward for Anchorage after 2 or 3 days of extremely bad flying weather. was Leo Douglas, prominent business man here who will file for Representative for the 3rd District, on the Dem ocratic ticket.
 He expects to remain in Anch- orage 3 or I days arranging his campaign for the office.
 He has almost solid backing in the Seward area among the tax payers because of his successful business experience and his prom ise of economy--economy which will not cripple. the Territory but which will take care of the nec- essary projects as viewed by a taxpayer of which he is one ot the heaviest.
 In statement previously issu- cd it was written that he taught school in the westward. The stat ment should have read that he was interested in the organiza- tion of the school at Coopers Landing.

, CHANGE IN CARGO
 DEADLINES FOR FEB. 6 SAILING


 Changes in cargo acceptance headlines for the Feb. 6, barge sailing to Seward by the Alaska Freight Express Corporation were announced today by T. A. Thron- son, traffic manager of the new common carrier firm.
 Tacoma cargo will be accepted until 3 pm. Tuesday, Feb. 3. at Shaffer Terminal No. 1, Dock St., Tacoma. The previously amour ced Tacoma deadline for general frenght was 3 pm. Friday, Jan. 30. The Seattle deadline is 3p.m. We'd. Feb. 4.
 Steel Barge 730 will make it's maiden voyage on the third Alas ka Frenght Express trip, utilizing revolutionary cargo handling me- thods. Newly installed movable hoists and stern loading opera tions will be utilized. Completely palletized. the cargo will be driv- en aboard the barge from the dock by fork lift trucks. Freight will be slowed in place on pallet boards, ready for rapid discharge on arrival at Seward.
 According to Thronson, the new Alaska Freight Express loading equipment will provide all-wea- ther protection in loading and discharging cargo and will inn prove segregation of freight.
 The Alaska Freight Express Barge 719 returned to Seattle shortly before midnight Monday, six days and 16 hours after leav- ing Seward. The seagoing tug Fl Sol, skippered by Capt. Ing vald Wick, made the tow. The 26O-foot-long covered steel barge carried southbound cargo for Pu- get Sound destinations.

patients, but will also be conduc- tive to a more permanent nurs- ing staff.
 We feel that Miss Herzig's visit is most timely, and that she is to be given a great deal of credit for the fine professional manner in which she is approaching a situation which had become al arming. and which was causing a great deal of controversy.
 The Nurses Organization is anxious to back the policies now being set up, 100ee and are going to do all in their power to make the San" a better place in which to get well. It is very appreciative of the individual effort and CO., operation of it's members and of the toWnspeople.
 We hope the goal for which we, the nurses, are striving will be achieved, and that the Sanator- ium will be a more pleasant pl- ace in which to work and noe in which the patients will be more content to remain until they are well.
 We feel that the new policies which are to be put into effect at once will remove cause for criticism and make the Sanator- ium the Pride of Seward.

Mrs. StiIwell Visits the
 Freedom Train

that war from which the United States of America emerged blood- stained but undaunted as free democratic nation. The very Dec- laration of Independence which proclaimed those freedoms lies aboard Freedom Train, safe be- meath half-inch plastic cover- ing and behind two sheets of heavy glass. :::
 There is a copy of the first printing of the pamphlet written in December of 1776 by Thomas Paine. who gave literature it's THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MEMS SOULS.' "The sum- mer soldier and the sunshine patriot he wrote in the best seller of the day Twill in this crisis shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman"
 Gallant ghosts of great men? Freedom train is filled with them. History almost fails to re- cord the brave men at old Fort Stanwix in New York, who tore up their shirts and cloaks, in- provised from the material a flag designated by the Contin- ental Congress and hauled it up into stiff breeze to wave on June 14, 1777, as the first Ameri- can flag to be unfurled in battle. Freedom Train carries the only known manuscript describing the event.
 The conditioned air which fl- ows through Freedoms train is far cry from the wintry winds which swept through Valley For ge in 177S and found General George Washington sitting alone and writing to Governor Morris the plight of his pitiful little ary. The original letter in Wash- ington's handwriting is one of the guarded treasures aboard the train.
 And there's the letter of the unforgettable John Paul Jones, which was written in 1782 to Gouvernor Morris. 'I take no

LETTER RECEIVED FROM ALASKA STEAMSHIP co.

We believe you will be inter- ested to know that the Alaska Steamship Company initiated the following wire to the Alaska Rail- road on January l4th:
 "IF AGREEABLE TO RAILROAD WE REQUEST THAT RESTRIC- TON ON HANDLING LESS CAR LOAD FREIGHT AT WOODROW BE REMOVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE STOP WILL YOU CHANGE STATUS OF STATION AUTHORIZING US TO HANDLE BOTH CARLOAD AND LESS CARLOAD FREIGHT AT WOOD- ROW EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATE LY AND AMEND TARIFF LA TER WHEN OTHER CHANGES ARE INCLUDED IN SUPPLE MENT PLEASE ADVISE"
 The Alaska Railroad has advis- ed that they will be pleased to eliminate the restriction on less than carload shipments to Wood Tow as soon as supplement to present tariff can be issued.
 It may therefore be stated that said restriction on less than car load shipments to Woodrow will be lifted as soon as tariff sup plement is issued by the Alaska Railroad.

SEWARD SANATORIUM GIVEN COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

Two greatly needed units, an inter-communicatio set and a public address system, soon will be installed at Seward Sanator- ium. the same being donation from the Alaska Tuberculosis Association. D. C. Langdon, of the Alaska Eletronics Company is preparing the specifications and the installation will be made by an Anchorage firm.
 Speaking of the need for these projects, Mrs. Bess Vim. secre- tary of the Association. states that the hospital is situated with in a sprawling army unit, and without a means of rapid com munication, the physician cannot always be contacted in an emcr- gency, Telephone messages must also wait for delivery. She states that the er-communication set will greatly >increase the hospit- alS efficiency and the public ad- dress system. can be used in giv- ing messages by the physician to the wards, and in broad-casting music and other entertainment. Physicians, she added, have de clared that any light diversion. suh as music, is of genuine assis- tance to the cure.
 The Association, in coopcration with the Veterans Administra- tion. expects soon to start a re- Mobilization program. featuring both educational subjects and occupational therapy. at Seward Sanatorium. In the meantime Mrs. Wnn states. the Associa- tion has done many things for the betterment of the hospital Included has been the purchase of four steam tables with accom- panyIng pans, for use in the var ious wards. Before the addition of the steam tables. food served in the farthest wards took 20 minutes to deliver and so was served cold. Tt has been our privilege and pleasure to correct this condition," concluded Mrs. Vim.

GIFTS FOR THE sEAMsrREs!

GIFTS FOR THE SEAMSTRESS
Many small devices for saving
time and effort in sewing, now
selling at stores generally, would
make welcome Christmas gifts
for any home seamstress. Margaret
Smith, clothing specialist of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
lists some of which she has found
practical in her experimental
work in clothing construction
Shears and Scissors:
For accurate, economical cut
ting the efficient seastress uses
three types. Some stores sell
these by the kit. Dressmaking or
cutting shears, eight or nine inches
long, with handles fitted to thumb
and finger and one flat blade to
slide parallel to the fabric makes
IT easy to cut out patterns and do
other large cutting jobs. Small
sewing scissors with thin, sharp
pointed blades permit rapid work
in shipping, trimming, or clipping
into points Of fabric. Pinking
shears finish seams professionally,
saving tedious overeasting with
thread as well as saving fabric.
Sewing Attachments:
A zigzagger saves time in sew
ing on lace, applique work and
other jobs requiring back-and.
forth stitching. A button-holer
saves the long process of making
button holes by hand, especially
on children clothes.
Morkers:
A new skirt marker makes it
possible to "hang" ones own skirt
evenly instead Of calling on hus-
band or neighbor to measure from
the floor and put in pins Another
skirt-marker guards the pins &C
they 60 in the material. A new
device marks pattern perfora-
tions on fabric.
Pins:

in half-pound boxes are fine.
smooth and sharp so leave no
mark in fine fabric as common
pins do.
Needle Threader:
A new automatic needle thread

Miss Smith finds that this works
better with long-eyed than with
round-eyed needles.

is one of the rules for success in
dress making Gifts tat will save

What farm families can expect
to pay in 1949 for items which
add to better living, and the pro-
bable supply and utility of such
times, is found in the farm and
home outlook Looking Ahead in
1949," prepared and being dis
tributed by the Mississippi Ex-
tension service
Net income to farmers in 1919
is expected to be lower than this
year, with higher production costs
on lower farm prices Still net in
come should be above any years
before 1916 and about three times
prewar, the outlook report states
Continued spending for all
family living items is expected in
1949, according to Miss Lorraine
Ford, Extension home manage
ment specialist.
Prices paid by farmers for
family living items continued to
climb during the past year, but
at a slower rate than the year be-
fore. From all reports, farm
families since 1947 are spenine
three times as many for all family
living expenditures except hous.
ing and automobiles.
Nutritious foods should be OBJ
tainable in Mississippi in l94e
with careful planning and wise
spending.
While there is a slightly smaller
supply Of most nutrients, there is
a greater demand for milk, eggs,
meat, citrus fruits and green and
yellow vegetables. This means that
the price will continue high in
1949.

first steps in developing good
diets. This waste may be from
