Crowd Gree+s Ship In Rein end S!ush

At l o'clock am. today a long and short blast of the steamship whistle announced the arrival of the SS Baranof, and as if by magic a large crowd appeared to stand in rain and sluSh to greet the first poststrike ship.
 The ship sailed from Seattle with less than full passenger list, but completely crowded with freight for Alaska ports. A total of slight ly more than 14OO tons of cargo will be unloaded before the ship leaves for its home port on Satur- day morning.
 Captain Joseph Ramsauer said it felt good to be back on the job again after the first layoff he has experienced in thirty-five years. The time was spent to good ad- vantage, though, as he accomp- lished the task of moving a house and he did all the work himself.

 Tuberculosis can strike anyone, in any age or economic group" said Mrs. Penrose Since tuber- culosis is spread from person to person, one case of the disease is a potential threat to everyone else in the community.
 Our tuberculosis association has done fine job in trying to protect each of us against tuber- tu'osis. It needs and deserves our

Bar Licenses Will Remain Unchanged

The Seward City Council reluc- tantly voted to continue liquor li censc fees at the old rate for this year at the special meeting held Tuesday evening.
 Chief consideration in making the decision was the fact that, while the bar business is notably profitable, the recent local busi- ness slump has practically wiped out current profits
 This does not mean that ba. owners are going broke It merely means that ready cash is not available.
 The argument that population increase warranted the raise in li- cense fees was brought up, but it did not play an important part in the hearing. It was generally agreed that making an official NSilSltS "Oulu De d lllefe lOTllldlllN N.
 After the hearing one member of the council pointed out that the license fee is the only chance the city has to collect any kind of taxes from some bar owners who have no property in town Neither does the city have a chance to collect taxes on any part of their payrolls.
 On the other hand, some of the bar owners have large holdings in tom, on wh. , pay q mpa. lively heavy t.. or the privilegd of municipal services.
 The city could very well use the additional S45O0 which the higher license fee would bring, but with the national census to be taken next year in Alaska it is expected that the population count of Sew ard will be about three thousand. The increase in license fees would then be mandatory and automatic. It is expected that business will be normal by then.

School Bonds Find General A Approva|

The coming school bond election set for Monday, Dec. 20, has been the object of great deal of con- ment
 The Record has made an at tempt to find out what the general oplnlon is among Seward business men. There was no attempt to make general survey, nor was there any attempt to get opinions from all property owners.
 Judging from the few opinions garnered. the people of Seward are well aware of the need for more school space, but would like to have more specific information about the program in question:: better school and more classroom space. I'm in favor of doing some thing about it right away, but thInk we should know more about the present plan.'
 F. E. Brooks-"Tm not a property owner, b u would support it through other taxes. IL might be well to wait till next year and see of Alaska becomes a state and eligible for Federal aid"
 Virgil Zentmire-'I recognize the need of building a new school or adding to the old one very soon would like to hear more about the plans for this new addition" Oscar WalsJu.u'- i'm in favor of it. Id rather see them build a new school, ii possible, but l think we should at least have more school space. Ii would be better if we had more information about this pres ent plan.''
 Art Mckeough--"Tm not a prop erty owner, except for what 1 have Tn my laundry. But 1 am in favor and would be willing to pay some klnd o1 tax to make it possible" Tom OSbo-"We definitely need either new school or more space and l am very much concerned. l think, though, that we should have more actual plans on paper. I'm afraid renodeling the old building might be more expensive than just building a first floor and basement Of a new building" ...~
 Jack Werner-"We certainly need more school space. If five rooms will take care of it for the next five years that would be fine Then we could think about an additional building for the high school. But l do think we should have more information about which company will buy the bonds, the interest, taxes, and payments"
 Leon Urbach-"Tm for it a hun dred per cent. A town is judged by it's schools, and I'd like Seward to have the best possible"

Two Seward
 Men Overdue On Flight

Gil Anthony, a Seward pilot who has taken part in many rescue searches for missing planes, was today the object of an aerial search by rescue parties.
 Carl Gage, owner of the Reliable Cab Company, was a passenger on the missing plane. Anthony was taking Gage to Montague Island to inspect some trap lines, accord ing to local reports.
 Mrs. Gage stated that when the two did not return Wednesday she was not disturbed When they failed to show up yesterday, how ever, she became concerned.
 She has the greatest confidence in Gil Anthony, she said. Gage is also a pilot. It is her belief, she said that the weather had closed in and it might not have been pos sible to get away from the island.
 Bob Martin, also a Seward pilot, this morning explained the situa- ton to the Tenth Rescue Squad ron at Elmendorf Field, and the Army said that a PBY rescue plane of the squadron would be over the search area immediately.
 The possibility that the weather had forced the men to remain on Montague was considered more likely, since Captain Joseph Ram souer of the SS Baranof reported that there had been snow over the gulf yesterday.
