COUNCIL APPROVES NEW
LIQUOR STORE

The City Council last Monday
evening granted permission to Carl
Thomas and Victor Mahan to open
liquor store in the premises FORM
erly occupied by the Chop Suey
House.
The opening of the store depends
on the issuance of Territorial IL
cense. Mayor Eugene Lanier made
it clear that there is no ordinance
limiting the number of liquor stores
in Seward Until such time as the
liquor dealers or others in Seward
ask the City Council to limit the
number of such stores, the council

Sailors In Alaskan
Waters Paid Twice

The Sailors Union of the Pacific
has an agreement with the ship
ping employers, concerning Alaska
trade, whereby the sailors will re-
ceive cargo time in addition to
their regular sailors pay
This cargo pay is earned entirely
in Alaska ports, but it is not sub
ject to Territorial tax. 1t is reported
that the sailors are asking the
courts for a decision exempting
them from the tax.
Seward longshoremen claim that,
due to this practice Of having sail
ors work cargo in that one port
they have lost wages amounting
to an impressive sixfigure total.

Garbage Permits
Available
At City Hall

Permits for those who wish to
haul their own garbage and trash
are available at the City Hall.
Health Officer, DR.. r. O. Sellers
explained that the reason it is nee
essary to obtain a permit before
dumping garbage at the city dump
is that in the past some people
who carried garbage had dumped
it anywhere on the premises.
Many times whole truck loads of
garbage and tr S h had been
dumped right in the road, making
it impossible for others to reach
the proper spot for dumping.
Last year it cost the taxpayers
about $4,000 for the labor and
equipment necessary to clear the
road after such offenses. The per-
nit system will make it possible
for the city to charge this cost
directly to the people who are to
blame for the added cost. and by
possible revocation of the permit,
the city can deny the use of the
dump to those who will not CO.
operate.
DR.. Sellers pointed out that the
cost of garbage collection will also
cover the work of covering the
filled portions of the dump with
gravel

Labor Board
Mediation Is
Union Request

LongShoremen of the Seward
IL.WU. Local l-39 have proven
their willingness to live up to their
agreement with their employers in
agreeing to allow a recent three
sided dispute among employers,
sailors and longshoremen to be
settled by the Area Labor Rela-
tons Committee at Seattle
The dispute arose recently while
the Chief Washable, a ship oper-
ated by the Alaska Steamship Co.,
was in port. By an earlier agree
ment the sailors on the ship are
permitted to unload one hatch Of a
ship When the sailors had finished
discharging the hatch they had
chosen to unload on the Chief
Washable, the company insisted
that they finish hatch on which
the longshoremen We're working.
, Due to an employer sailor agree
ment the sailors would receive pay
for cargo time as long as cargo
was being discharged, whether or
| not they actually worked the
cargo.
This employer sailor agreement
into yryit ~f
Jan. 6, l947 among employer, sail
orS and longshoremen. The l947
! agreement permits the sailors to
work only one hatch after major
unloading operations are started
The union holds that the practice
of having sailors work cargo in
lports where longshorenen are
available is disrupting the econ,
omy in those towns.
The longshore union reported
that. since the incident on the
Chief Washakie, both the James
W. Cannon. operated by the Coast
| wise Lines, and the Terminal Knot
| of the Alaska Steamship Company
have taken what they call "unfail
advantage" of the agreement by
| repeated offenses."
Union officials expressed hope
! that the Area Labor Relations
Committee can settle the matte,
peaceably and satisfactorily ano
avert shipping tie-up such as re.
suited when this dispute originated
a little over two years ago.

kinson can't find anything to be
happy about.

is evident in practice.

year string of 20 victories against

ference champions this year and
it looks like We'll be No. T." Will
kinson moaned.
They're the toughest team
physically and otherwise that
we'll meet this season. Unless we
have a different approach we are
going to get beat.
Something else that won't help
much is the fact that we're IA
vored. If you recall last New

Central Five Displays
Diversified Attack
In Beating ST. A|bans

Indications are that Centrals S
Vikings will not be easy to dis
lodge from their perch as District
public high basketball champions.
Some of the other schools. notably
Coolidge and Western, have
strengthened their teams for the
title race starting January 6. but
the Vikings have come back with
an experienced quint that showed
scoring punch all down the line
in it's opening game yesterday.
Coach Jan JankoWski used IL
players as. the Vikings trimmed
st. Adams, 63-44, and 10 Of them
made the scoring column. Jimmy
Pantos was the high scorer with
IS points, but excellent assists
were given by Irv Sheferman with
13 and Jack Stringer with 10.
Roger Kingsbury Of st. Adams,
who tailed 81 points in his first
game last week, was held to is
yesterday, with Bob Alvord get
ting loose for 18 to be the games
individual leader.
Coolidge and Western were
among other winners yesterday as
the schoolboys had their last big
day before the holidays. The
Colts beat Bethesda Chevy Chase.
45-37, for their third straight
victory, while Western won its
second by nosing out Frederick
(Md) High, 1914. in overtime.
Coolidge moved ahead in the
third period after a 21-2l half
time deadlock. Sparkling the
rally was Carl Hevener, who
scored IA points. 1t was the
Barons' Wally Young who was
high man with 10 points.
Successful foul shots by Marv
Rosenblatt and Dick De Vos gave
Western it's overtime win after
Frederick had pulled to 44-44
tie shortly before the end OF reg
ulation time.
In other schoolboy tilts yester-
day a big early lead provided
enough cushion for Gaithersburg
to withstand Mount Rainier's
last minute rally and take a 1870
victory. Maryland Park romped
over Capitol Pages, 36-16; Bob
Hall scored in the last minute to
help st. Anthony's beat Landon.

BATON ROUGE, La. Dec. 81
tP).-If the fullbacks of Louisiana
State U. can do as well in the
Sugar Bowl as they are doing in
practice-look, out Oklahoma.
The L. S. U. players went
through their PAGES in an hour
of solid wall hitting yesterday and
Head Coach Gaynell Tinsley and
his assistants seemed happy at
the prospects.
At first Ends Almond Kitto and
Jim Lyle and Center Bill Wray
in the redshirted line halted most
of the assaults of the two offen-
sive units.
But then Fullbacks Ebert Van
Buren, and Billy West began to
click, slamming their way through
wide holes in the opposing line.
Good downfield blocking made
things a bit easier for Van Buren
and West as well as such other
backs as Kenny Konz. Billy Bag
gett and Lee Hedges. And Sam
Lyle, changing over to the offense
took one pass from Charley Pevey
and went all the way.
Next week the boys will con-
centrate on defense and then be-

Gabe had managed, looked him
up at the factory and asked
Gabe to get him a fight. Soon
Tommy Freeman, Chico Cis-
neros, Baby Joe GuZman and
Carl Red Guggino had beaten
track to the stogie- wrapping
plant to put themselves un-
der Menendez's management.
Gabe's cigar making career
ended shortly after, by request
of the management.
Menendez arrived in Wash
ington by remaining in the
East instead of heading West
when virtually every fight man
ager of note headed for Texas
to reap the harvest of the Lone
Star States new boxing law.
Howard Livingston, an old
hand in boxing, advised the
youngster to come here as he
had done and Gabe took his
advice. Both are still here.
The only thing Gabe got from
Texas was a featherweight
named Howard Scott, the "po-
litest and most gentlemanly
fighter out of the ring" Gabe
ever knew.
The two achievements Gabe
