Police Back Plan Fr Junior Patrol By SchOOl Bows

Officer Turnbull announced that the Seward Police Department stands ready to cooperate with the Parent Teachers Association in or ganizing a boy traffic force for pro- lection of school children.
 He expressed the hope that the Volunteer Bremen would be sue cessful in bringing the rollerskat- ing rink into operation.
 Many people have told MT. Turn bull that nothing can be done with the children of Seward. But he cited the All Club of Seward as an example of youth achievement combined with parent guidance.
 If these same people were to say that nothing could be done with the parents of Seward, they would be nearer the truth.

Cold Storage
 Firm Gets Big Ex port Order

Tons of fish, stacked high like 4tove wood and froZeni twice as hard, stand in the cold rooms of the Seward Fish and Cold Storage Company. Salmon, cod, and hali- but, whole and in steaks, await shipment to all parts of the coun- try.
 One single customer has placed an order for a half-million pounds Of halibut steaks with the local company for the coming year. A single shipment of 25,000 pounds is now being packaged for delivery.
 The packages were specially de- signed for the company by a com mercial artist in Seattle. The name of the city of Seward is prominent ly displayed on each package. so the city will become widely recog nized as the source of fine fish.
 Besides the halibut steaks. the company processes smoked salmon, smoked and kippered cod, and the hard smoked salmon called Beleek or squaW candy.
 One Anchorage, market bought two and half tons of the squaw candy alone. Because of moisture loss, it takes six tons of fish to fill an order for that much squaw candy
 The smoked fish, as well as the frozen, is put up in attractive packages with celophane windows. There is even a small snack pack Ege suitable for serving in bars and lunchrooms.
 The Seward Fish and Cold Stor- age Company is operated by a partnership of four men, William Pege, Tom Reilly, F. R. Burns, and Fred s. Wilmans. Pege formerly operated cannery at Kenai. Reilly,

BOARD URGES BREAKDOWN OF CONTRACTS IN ALASKA

Breaking down of Federal engin- eering and construction contracts in Alaska to a size which would permit resident architectural, en- gineering and construction firms to handle them has been urged upon Federal construction agencies by the Alaska Development Board.

Next Tuesdays Election Held Vital to Continued Prosperity of Seward Seaport Area
People of Seward:

Seward is facing the most criti- cal period in it's history Therefore, 1t behooves every citizen of voting age in and around this community to go to the polls next Tuesday and cast his ballot
 Aside from the business of po- litical selection of representatives, there are a number of reasons why a large vote will be to the advan- tage of the city. It is the common belief of a large part of the Terri tory that Seward is a very small and insignificant town with a pop ulation of around one thousand. it was even reported so during the past summer by the Anchorage Times. The Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, under the impression that the place is so small it is not worth bothering with, went on rec ord September ?. advocating the closing of the railroad to Seward and opening Whittier as conner cial port saying that Seward should not stand in the way of the rest of the TerritOry.'
 Such statement could not have been made had the people of Fair banks known that they had a sig able city to contend with, whose importance to them had to be acknowledged. When other cities have been made to realize thct their own economy depends largely upon the size and prosperity of Seward and surrounding communi- ties their attitude will change and the old cut-throat policies will be considerably minimized.
 What better and more forceful way to prove that point, prove to the Territory and to Washington, that an Alaskan city of 25OO peo-

Thief Takes $325 In Raid on Local Legion Club

Burglars broke into the Legion Club on Fifth Avenue in the early hours of Thursday morning and made off with S325 in cash.
 Entrance was effected by smash ing pane in window to the rear of the club house and releasing the catch. An examination of the premises showed that they made their entrance through the front door.
 Police were notified of the crime at TAO am. Thursday Clyde Smith who is employed at the club. had discovered the burglary just a few minutes prior to that time.
 A check of the premises revealed that cash from the sale of Fire mems Dance tickets had been un- touched, as well as a large bundle ei.-~the- tickets Several hundred NaoiIetAS NOl tIi oI SllN cl were over looked also
 Police were not very hopeful of finding finger prints. although it did not look like professional job. The suppositon is that the crime was committed by a person in great hurry, since the safe was not touched, and not a single bottle of liquor was taken.
 It is believed that a person with some knowledge of the club was involved because of the manner of entrance and exit However, if the person had been we'll acquainted with the setup. he would have found more loot. No other damage was reported.
 Police have been working on the case since Thursday morning. but are not prepared to reveal what leads they have picked up.

What 1 want in 1913:
A bigger and better Junior Base
ball League and Junior Basketball
League.
More volunteer workers who will
