King County Chapter of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis is facing one of the most

That is why the 1919 March of Dimes, the only

tnue to receive the high standard of they have
in the past.
When polio strikes with its paralytic force,
often many years Of disqualification and treatment
comprise the calendar of the disabled. Aside from
the victims pain and suffering, there is also the
cold factual problem of doctor and hospital bills
mot one King County family in ten can afford to
nav for the care of case requiring nominal hos
pital stay.
That's where your March of Dimes steps in to
tighten the dark outlook. Besides financing re-
search seeking the final answer of how to pre-
vent and cure polio, March of Dimes funds are
paying for the best available care and treatment
of polio patients whether they were stricken III

Storn, Pounds North CIoud;
 Aid Stands by

The Towards barge, North Cloud" aground on a sand bar in the Copper River area, was taking a pounding from heavy surf, last Thursday. A rescue tug was stand ing by but could not approach the barge. The Coast Guard cut ter Cedar was expected to reach the scene Friday.
 The people aboard the barge were believed to be in no danrer. and could reach shore if necessary in the same manner that the en- gineer, Leonard Holeman, had to use when going for aid
 Mrs. Tom Bland of Seward. a daughter of Fred Howard. said Thursday that there were three automobiles aboard the barge and much of Towards construction equipment. In addition all of the household furnishings of the How ard family were aboard the barge. even such articles as a piano.
 The barge is powered by two diesel engines, and has two gener- ators. It is being taken to Seattle to be fitted out as a cold storage boat.
 Some confusion as to the name of the barge was caused by a re- port last week that a barge called the White Cloud went down off the Coast of Southeastern Alaska last week with the loss of three people. When the North Cloud went aground many people be- lieved it was the White Cloud.

Viale Sees Many Old Sewdrdites Or West Coast

Marvin Viale returned to Seward Tuesday after an extended busj- ness trip to west coast states and return trip over the Alaska High way.
 Mrs. Viale and their young daughter accompanied him on the trip, spending Thanksgiving at the home of relatives at Eureka. Cali fornia, and Christmas at Bend, Oregon. /
 During the trip they met sever al former Alaskans, including Mrs Pete Ogle at Puyallup, Washing ton, Mir. and Mrs. w. w. Flynn, formerly at Lake kenai and now at Prairie, Washington, and Mir. and Mrs. Ed Fondahn at Seattle.
 At Coos Bay they saw the Coast Guard Cutter Bonham, which was at one time based at Seward. Viale said it was like meeting an old friend.
 While in Seattle, Viale made ar engagements with the Ad-Craft Company to print the new pictor- ial folder for the Seward Chamber of Commerce, proofs of which are expected to arrive shortly.
 It was cold every where they went, Viale said, and it made him homesick to hear of warmer weather at Seward.
 Viale said it looked as though every person he met was planning on a vacation in Alaska, particu- larly people who hove annual va cations like railroad workers, dent ists, and lawyers. He feels sure the new highway to Anchorage will mean a lot to Seward.
 When asked about plans for his cannery for the coming summer, he said he had no plans, but hoped that it would be possible to oper- ate this season.

City Officials Plan a Single
 Power Source

City officials gathered Tuesday evening for the purpose of consid ering plans to solve the difficult power situation in Seward.
 Those present included members of the City Council. the City Utili- ty Board, and officials of the Sew ard Light and Power Company.
 Both city officials and officials of the Seward Light and Power Company emphasized the fact that the meeting was strictly informal, and if any workable plan can be thought out it will be brought up at a regular council meeting.
 The plan worked out would then be submitted to the voters of the city for approval. At present, how ever, no concrete solution to the local problem has been suggested
 One of the suggestions made was that the Seward Light and Power Company sell bulk power to the city power plant, thereby making it necessary to have only one system of power transmission lines in the city. The suggested plan would also call for city own ership of the telephone company
 The Seward Light and Power Company made a counter-sugges- tion that the city take over it's power facilities, but leave the tele- phone system under private owner ship.
 Whatever agreement. if any, is worked out, will take great deal of detailed discussion and plan ming There will be more meetings before any kind of plan will be ready for submission to the voters, city officials said.
 They denied that the city power plant is losing money or that it has been having financial difficult ties of any kind, and they also said that there is no question of fric- tion between the city power com pany and the privately owned or ganization.

Seward Hit by Flu Epiden,ie;; Schools Close

- VIII " " GS ~k~VV
 The epidemic of virus influenza which has hit Seward attained serious proportions this week, ef- fecting seventy percent of the pop ulation.
 To date none of the business houses are closed, but the fact is noticeable that everyday another of the employees is missing, and can be found home in bed.
 With one third of the school pop ulation absent on Wednesday,, Health Officer R. o. Sellers, and Superintendent of Schools Carl Carlson closed the school at noon, the temporary reopening date giv- en as Monday, Feb. 29th. The in- tervening four and one half days of incubation period will prove whether or not the known con- tacts of other communicable dis eases, diphtheria, measles and humps will develop, according to Dr. Sellers.
 Four adult cases of measles have been reported, but as yet there is no case of measles among the chil- dren. Measles for adults is likely to be little more serious than with children, and immediate isolation is to be mandatory according to the new health ordinance.
 Most public gatherings have been cancelled for this week. The school carnival is postponed for ] two weeks. This was scheduled for tonight, Friday Feb. 18th. Bowling ! alleys, gymnasium, including the ! skating rink. and theatre are closed to children.
 All adults as well as children are cautioned to observe greatest pos sible care in avoiding contamina- tion by not congregating in large groups, avoiding chills, damp clothing, and getting as much rest as possible
 1 The following report and instruc- tions were received from the City 1 Health Officer R. o. Sellers.
 At present we are having an epidemic of virus influenza, mea- | sles, and known contacts of the humps and whooping cough. Last | Wednesday morning there were eighty five children out of school due to illness. As a result, classes i have been dismissed until Monday morning.
 Thus the City Health Officer ad- vises that parents keep their chill dren indoors as much as possible. prevent chilling, dampness and ex- cessive play, They should prevent grouping of children in play and indoors, in order to prevent con- tact of other persons in the incuba- tion period of communicable and upper respiratory infections. f+ The school, gymnasium, bowling alley and theatre will be closed to school children for several days, to attempt to control contamina- tion, encourage isolation of indi- viduals, and prevent contacts, es- pecially during this epidemic of virus infections
 It is advised as well, that adults follow much along this line, so that more serious complications may be prevented.
