TWO FROM HONOLULU
MAKING ALASKA TOUR

Two from Honolulu were In Ju-
neau today, still somewhat sur
prised by quick decision which
brought them off for a side tour
of Alaska by plane.
When they left Honolulu on Pan
American World Anyways initial
Stratocruiser flight from the Ha-
waiian Islands to San Francisco,
they planned on returning to sunny
olimes within few days.
Instead of taking off for white
sand beaches, however, they made
a snap decision to fulfill long
time desire of seeing Alaska. Lack
of top coats didn't worry them, they
borrowed coats and took the next
flight out.
The two are Rudy Tongg. Ha-
waiian president of Trans-Pacific
Airlines, and Douglas Lovelace,
from the Associated Press Honolulu
bureau.
Today they left for Anchorage,
and will go to Fairbanks before re-

Ho+ch And Amend To Lead Scout Troop

Ralph Hatch has been ap- pointed Scout Master of the Boy Scout Troop 630, with Oliver Amend as Assistant Scout Master.
 A six man Troop Committee was appointed with Tom Howell as chairman, at a meeting held by the Troop sponsors. Park Smith, Russel Norton, Henry Cassel, Lon Gray and Robert SWenSon will comprise the com mittee.
 According to Gene Butler, Scout executive in town this week in an attempt to revive the interest of Seward in the Scout movement, there is need for another troop and he hopes that some other organized group will undertake the sponsorship.
 Under the new setup, MT. Butler is scheduled to spend one week every other month in Seward to assist in the Scout program.
 Since there has been a grow ing concern among parents, church people and civic author ities over the lack of children s activities, it is hoped that this program will receive the serious attention of the toWnspeOple.
 Butler meets with the P-TA and parents of boys in the age group of 9 to II years, to dis cuss the organization of Cub Pack. This is excellent prepar- atory training for the actual work of scouting, and is being encouraged throughout the Ter ritory.

Do we want our children to grow up in the atmosphere of a college town?
 Or are we satisfied with their present environment-no recre- ation, no good music, no cultur- al opportunities?
 Must we deny them the chance of higher education, if we cannot raise the necessary funds to send them Outside to school?
 Or, shall we work now to bring college degree into the home town?
 Are we interested in the na- tion wide publicity our city would receive if Seward is se- lected as the site for the Liberal Arts College proposed by the Methodist Church?
 Or are we content to have tourists board the train as soon as the ship docks, to see Alas ka', because there is nothing of interest in Seward except the scenery?
 There is no question of what advantage it would be to the city to have the decision in our favor. There is no end to the question and answers on this subject, for and against the reasons why we should work toward the attainment of this project for Seward.
 If we want it, we must work for it. Good things seldom drop in our laps like apples from a tree. If it is worth having, it is worth working for.
 It's easy enough to say work for it., but how does one go about working?
 There is a paper in circulation about town right now, in the form of a subscription to raise enough money to send quail fled representative to meet the Board of Education of the Meth odist Church, to place before that body the advantages of Seward as a site for the pro- posed college.

Dispute Ties U p Local Shipping

A tieup in local shipping came about with the arrival of the SS Barahof Friday morning when Local 1892 of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union did not start un- loading of freight because of al- legged breach of contract by the Northern Stevedoring and Hand- ling Corporation, causing the union ayers, an automatic lock out"
 A small crew was called out Friday morning by the union to unload mail and baggage and the union further agreed to un- load any perishables if the dis pute appeared to be of sufficient duration to endanger produce which is conveyed at shippers risk.
 It is claimed that when the union decided to take action on the alleged breach of contract that there was no one here au- thorized to act in negotiations for the Northern Stevedoring and Handling Corporation. How ever, authorization was expected by wire immediately and both union and Northern Stevedoring representatives are confident that differences can be settled in a short time without too much of a tieup in the local situation. The SS Palisano of the Alaska Steamship Company docked at ] Seward at 8:45 pm. Friday and before the day was over had left, reportedly for Whittier, rather than wait outcome of the dis pute here.
 It is reported that sailor steve doring delegates aboard the tied up ships were in complete ac- cord with the local union and had voluntarily agreed not to unload freight in an effort to force the locals to settlement.
 Last word received by this newspaper is that settlement of the dispute was expected mo- mentarily and it is hoped that everything will be on an even keel by Saturday morning.

Firefigh+ing Program For Womon's Club

MT. Fred Kielcheski, Fire Chief, and members of the Vol unteer Fire Department will give demonstration of fire fighting in the home at the next meeting of the Seward Woman's Club, to be held in the parlors of the Methodist Church next Thursday, November 10, at 800 pm.
 It was previously announced that the meeting would be held in the Public Library, but be- cause the club wishes to invite all the women of Seward to be present and learn what to do when a fire occurs in the home, a larger room is necessary.
 Bremen will explain the con- tents of various fire extinguish- CTS, the best way to treat diff ferent kinds of fires, and what to do until the firemen arrive. Club officers feel this is par ticularly useful knowledge to homemakers, as fires often start when woman is alone or with children in the house.
 All Seward women are invited to see this interesting program.

 Another way, which is very important, and would give val uable assistance, is to write per sonally to the Board members. We cannot tell you what to write.
