Abe Men Accuse NaiIer
.Of Credit 10 Non Guests

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board had under consideration
today charges that the Hotel
statler had sold alcoholic drinks
on credit to non Registered guests
At q board meeting Thursday
ABC inspectors testified they had
discovered 10 cases OF persons
obtaining credit for alcoholic
beverages on April IL. and Is
additional cases on the following
day Under ABC regulations. only
registered guests at q hotel may
obtain liquor on credit.
Hotel counsel told the board
that the Statler has 90, 900 credit
cards outstanding in Washington
emitting persons TO credit. and
that the Statler system had issued
more than 400 900 throughout the
country. Patrons may not charge
liquor on credit cards unless they
are guests at the hotel. it was
said. however.
The board was told it was en-
barrassing TO prominent persons
to ask them TO pay after they had
been served and in other cases
patrons objected to paying In
front OF their guests. In some
cases which the board had called
to their attention. the hotel said
in defense against the charge,
walters did not know that patrons
showing credit cards after being
served drinks were not guests of
the hotel. Many OF the charges
included tips for walters.

with the best per capita marks
were presented with Salvage

many kinds of equipment and sup

sought, but never obtained. out of
regular appropriations were made
available. Radios and record

were set up or greatly expanded.
Underprivileged children received
clothing or free lunches. The list
seemed endless.

The war came to an end, but
the children kept on with their
salvage work. They needed new
incentives. however, for the war
had been won. So. many of them
undertook to raise $3.50 per school
to care for child victims of the
war in various refugee camps in
Europe. They raised money also
to endow 4-bed room in the pro-
posed new Children's Hospital
building mrs 80 $500
After the first rush of civilian
production was over at the end
of the war and with the steadily
increasing supply of newsprint,
the market for wastepaper. began
to fall away. The price which at
times had reached $1.40 a hun
dred pounds for magazines and
$1.10 for newspapers went into
a decline until it has fallen as low
as 10 cents a hundred for news
papers. not enough to make it
worth the while of the children
to continue collecting.
During this entire program, the
dealer gave The Star a report on
each schools collection and once
a month a check to The Star for
payment of the full amount. The
Star, in turn. maintained records
for each school and sent out it's
own checks to the schools on the
basis of individual earnings.
Now. however. it is over. The
familiar sight of the school chill
dren carrying or hauling paper to
school will be seen no more but
for years to come, practically
every school in the city will be
benefitting from use of the equip
ment purchased out Of work and
sweat of thousands of patriotic
children.

Some objection to the enforce ment of the fuel tank ordinance was to be expected, but Fire Chief Kielcheski says that on the whole, people seem to admit that it is safety measure for our own good.
 It is the American way to- acknowledge our failings, but we do hate to be forced by law to remedy even short sighted error such as storing tank of inflammable liquid against a frame building.
 The drafting of this ordinance was prompted by the previous council not, as has beens sug- gested, in a moment of idle con versation, but on the recom- mendation of the Pacific Coast Fire Underwriters inspector, MT. Hoess, in an effort to main- tain the insurance of the city in class 6, where it has been for several years. You will remem- Der the anguished cries arising in Anchorage when that city was placed in class 7 because of fire hazards found there by Mr. Hoess.
 The Council was somewhat at fault, I believe, when the townspeople were not given the reason behind the new ordi- nance, and it is plain to see that the enforcement of it will work a hardship upon some peo- pie. This is certainly not the in- tention of the Council, and it is quite possible that if such a case can be proved, that some sort of exceptions may be given. I am not in position to speak for the Council, but I know it to be reasonable body, working for the ultimate good and safety of the community. Enforcement of this ordinance may even bring about, with the compile ton of other projects, the plac- ing of Seward in Class 5 in surance rating, which will bene- fit everyone, by lowering the rate of insurance on local prop erty.

OREGON SCHOOLS FAVOR ALASKAN STUDENTS

Students from Alaska were quick to take advantage of new legislation permitting them to attend Oregon's institutions of higher learning without the pay ment of nonresident tuition, it is indicated by a summary pre- pared by Chas. D. Byrne, secre- tary to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education.
 This year, Byrne announced, seven students from Alaska are attending Oregon State College while six are going to the Uni versity of Oregon. None as yet has enrolled in the Oregon Med ical School.
 Legislation extending the resi- dent advantage to young Alas kans was offered in the Oregon Legislature by State Senator Richard L. Neuberger of Port land, who has been a frequent visitor to Alaska. The suggestion was made to him originally by Mrs. Oscar Sandvik of Peters burg.
