Death Claims Miss MayAfter Long Illness

Miss Maud May, we'll known philanthropist of Seward, passed away at 12:05, Tuesday, Nov. 29, in Seward General Hospital, at the age of 75 years.
 Born in Holly Springs, Miss, on May Is, 1874, she moved with her family to Fremont, Nebraska, in her early years, where her father became in- fluential in the wholesale gro- cery business and banking cir cleS.
 In 1926, Miss May came to Seward as a tourist. She enjoyed the trip and the town so much that she began spending all her summers here, and after a time made Seward her permanent home. It is said that she brought money into town, spending free 1y, and was always to be depend ed upon for liberal contribution to every cause, and that she never took any money out of town.
 Of late years, Miss May has suffered from a hip injury which kept her confined more closely, but she did take a trip Outside last year. For the past several months she was hospitalized a good share of the time, but was able to receive her brother and neice when they visited during the fall.
 Miss May is survived by a brother, Mir. Lou May, and neice, Mrs William Cheney, both of Fremont, Nebraska, who have requested that the body be shipped by air express to Ere mont. Definite arrangements have not been announced, but it is assumed that it will proceed to Anchorage on the train Sat urday, from thence to Fremont. In the meantime, friends may pay their last respects at the Adkins Funeral Parlor where. Miss May will lie in state.

Frank Goyne Takes The Last Long Trail

Frank Goyne, known to all older Alaskans as 'the man who always went through passed away Monday, Nov. 28, at 1:55 in Seward General Hospital at the age of 81.
 Born near Pottsville, Penn sylvania in 1868, he got the wanderlust early in life and with news of the gold strike in Alaska, he set out immediately for that country. In '98 he was we'll known as trailer in Skag- way where he packed mail and express over the Chilkoot Pass and by dog team to Fairbanks and the Dawson country. He was one of the first freighters to have a run-in with the cele- brated Soapy Smith Gang, and 1t is said that the gang soon learned that Goyne was not to be fooled with and left him strictly alone.
 Dawson, Yukon, 40 Mile, 60 Mile and all the interior country knew Frank Goyne and de- pended upon him for mail, at 25 cents per letter, and news papers at $1.00 copy, knowing that even at times when the trail was closed by the Cana dian Mounted Police to most travellers, Goyne was allowed to go through if he wanted to.
 He had clear, loud and carrying voice, which called him into great demand for announc- ing of shows, prize fights, as a "spieler" and barker" at any time, when such ability was an asset. -..-
 In 1906 his younger brother, Charles, joined Frank, who met him at Valdez, and they mushed to Fairbanks over the old Val dez Trail. Charlie tells how they, with three others, broke

Seq Huwks Defeat All Stars b5-38
 In Fridays Game

The Seward High Sea Hawks went on an6ther scoring ram page last Friday evening to de- feat the Seward All Stars 65-38. The Sea Hawk six-footers, An derson, Anderson, and Steele, made good use of their size in rebounding and in a concentrat- ed attack around the keyhole.
 In the last quarter, the All Stars outplayed the Sea Hawks, Though many shots went astray they kept pace with the high school quintet on the scoring end. Using an aggressive man. to-man defense, the All Stars repeatedly broke up the Sea Hawk offense before reaching the centercourt line. Pegano turned in a surprise for the eve- ming by sinking several side court shots with seemingly eff fortless ease.
 Wednesday evening, Nov. 30, the last games of the City League first series will be played on the Civic Center court. The opener will be the DeHorns vs the Nobby Club. This is ex- pected. to be close game. The Sea Hawks meet the Boosters in the second game

VETERANS MUST HAVE VA APPROVAL FOR LOCAL MEDICAL CARE

An announcement by the Vet. erans Administration reminds disabled veterans seeking home. town care that they must first obtain approval from the near est VA regional office if they expect the VA to pay the doctor bill.
 An increasing nu m b CT of claims for reimbursement have come to the VA board of ap- peals from veterans who failed to obtain VA approval before going to their hometown doctor for treatment. Except in those cases where it was found that emergency treatment for a ser vice-connected disability had been necessary, the claims have been diSalloWed
 Even in emergency cases, the VA said, it is necessary to re- ceive regional office approval, although some leeway is al lowed for requesting approval in emergency cases.
 Veterans who are hospitalized for emergency treatment with a service-connected disability are

Public Works Officer Visited Seward on.

Col. Arthur D. Morrell, dep- uty commissioner, Bureau of Community Facilities under General Services Administra- tion of Public Works, and Burke Riley, administrative assistant out of Gov. Gruening's office, arrived in Seward Monday at 1:30 pm. on the ARR gas car. They were met at the station by Mayor Lanier, Ray James, Dr. Shelton, and Councilmen Russell Painter and Mildred Kirkpatrick.
 The party made tour of the city, covering the north end carefully, to give the officials a view of the area in need of sew CTS. After a visit to the hospital and school, the group retired to receive instructions from Col. Morrell on the procedure of making application for Public Works assistance.
 According to Col. Morrell, the Public Works Bill as passed by Congress covers such projects as schools, hospitals, sewers, water supply and paving of streets and sidewalks. Applica- tion for funds must be made by the municipal body, accompa- nied by specifications and estl- mate of costs. The application must be recommended by the Territorial Governors office, and by the Department of the Interior If accepted, the Bureau takes over the final work of en- gineering, letting of contracts, and construction.
 Upon completion of the pro- ject, title is given to the com munity at the cost of 50 per cent of the grant. Payment to be made in cash or upon any plan arranged previous to the grant. 1t was agreed that sewers and all underground construction should be completed before any extensive paving would be prac- tlcal. For that reason the Coun- Gil IS particularly interested in sewer system at present, but all plans are tentative, pending more information from the Fed eral bureau.
 People of Seward feel particu- larly grateful that the board 1 consented to send representa- tlVes to view the situation here. It was at first thought that hear lngs would be held only in the larger cities, and MT. Ray James made a special trip, at his own expense, on behalf of the city to meet the board at the hearing in Juneau last week. He made an appeal to the board to conduct hearings in the smaller towns which are badly in need of Fed eral assistance for public inn provements, and which would Oe uIldOle to send representa- tives to the hearings.
 The bulk of the appropriation to Alaska under the Public Works Bill is earmarked for schools, but inasmuch as Seward is one of the. two Territorial c1tA6 so pressed for additional school facilities that it bonded itself to the amount of $125,OOO for that purpose, the Council feels some encouragement over the possibility of obtaining Fed eral aid for public improve ment projects.
