From One To Three Billion
Senator Lucas,
Administration Leader,
Asserts Amount Will

WASHINGTON, March 25. -
Most Republican members of the
senate. led by Senator Robert A.
Taft, took the position today that
the. appropriation TO continued
the Marshall Plan for - months,
can be cut materially without adj
versely affecting the economic
recovery in Europe
The bill provides for expendi-
lures totaling So billion $500 mill
lion, but Taft and some fellow
senators advocate cutting il from
one to three billion dollars.
Senator Arthur Vandcnbere.
Republican, a member of the for
eign relations committee. said hc
would favor cuts that apparent
ly were justified, but that he
would oppose any slash across
the board" A few other Repub
Gcan senators entertain a view
similar to Vandenbcrg's regard
ing the amount provided for in
the bill
Senator Scott Lucas, admins
tration leader, asserted he felt
confident that the senate will
vote in favor of providing So bill
lion $3.50 million.
The present bill provides only
for the maximum amount that
may be spent under the Maf'hhall
plan, beginning July and CON
tinuing for Is months. Money "a

Deurfh Of Musicians Mourned By Dec. Dance Sponsors

, Several dances coming up and no one to make the music! The VFW Auxiliary is planning a dance in the middle of the month and the Legion will pro- mote a Masque Ball on New Years Eve, so the call is out for volunteers to make up an orchestra.
 Jack Willis was to leave town Thursday for Por l a n d and points south, MT. and Mrs. Ted Bristow left on the 25th. MT. and Mrs. Sid Sammons and Joe Bomack are leaving this week for good. This leaves very few players in town except for the professional entertainers who are steadily employed.
 There are lots of people who play some instrument for their own pleasure, but who do not consider themselves proficient enough to play for a dance. How about getting together for some practice and see if something can't be done about this all important music business for the dances? Call Mrs. B Davis Burt Lewis or the Seaport Record, and let's try it any way.

 He had been sick with what he thought was flu for several days, but on Monday evening, he thought he felt little better and attempted to work, but had to return home shortly after 700 o'clock.

In former years it was an Alaskan custom for any ship leaving for the Chain to carry Christmas trees to the people there.
 Captain Reuben Jacobsen of the MS Garland would like very much to revive this fine old GUS tom. He will be glad to take any Christmas trees free of charge if the people of Seward will have them on the dock ready to load by 3 o'clock, Saturday, afternoon, Dec. 3.
 We know the folks on the Aleutians will really appreciate them, too, so what do you say, Seward, let's do it!
 The Garland will be leaving at midnight Saturday, and Cap tain Jacobsen is hoping to see a lot of trees.

Get-Together Planned for
 Mid Winter

The idea of mid-Winter fes- tival, carnival, good-neighbor visit, or what have you for a name, has been talked about in Seward for a long time.
 This week, a party of inter- ested and public spirited citizens gathered and formulated tenta- tive plans for such a get-to- gether. The object is to invite all the communities on the Pen insula to join with us for a weekend of entertainment, com petitive games, races, square dances, hobby displays, and any other form of entertainment that can be suggested.
 Kenai communities should be- come acquainted, plan an inter change of produce and opinions, and prepare to unite as a geo. graphical unit. This plan seems to offer an ideal opportunity to become good neighborS.
 Mid-Winter was chosen as the time for such a festival, for sev. eral reasons. The first being that the roads down the Inlet should be in good condition by the mid dle of January. The second is that the work season being over, farmers, homesteaders, fisher men and miners will have more leisure to enjoy a break in the winter time.
 This newspaper will conduct a contest to decide on a name for the affair. A prize of $500 offered by James Construction Co.,, will be given for the best name. Every person living on the Kenai Peninsula is asked to submit appropriate names for such a carnival. All entries must be mailed to Seward Seaport Record, Box 204, Seward. In case of duplicate entries, the first one received will be judged.
 So, People of Kenai Penin' sula and Seward, get on your thinking caps. Let's have name for our winter good-neighbor get-together.
 Judging of names will be done on Dec. 24 and announcement made in the Dec. 27 issue ot the Record. All names received up to Dec. 24 will be considered

Basketball Winds UD First Series

An effective passing attack, coupled with strong rebounding and successful long set shooting by the Hobby Club defeated the fast breaking DeHorns 37-29 last Wednesday evening at the Civic Center The first half ended H. 12 in favor of the DeHorns with Warren Bauers racking up most points for the DeHorns by spear heading fast breaks.
 In the second half the Nobby Club found the basket center with Fillingim and Gallinger getting rebounds. Fillingim scored the leading point for the Hobby Club and from then the DeHorns trailed. The Hobby Club clinched the game in the final minutes by a stall which drew out opponents, allowing Hatch and Gallinger under the basket for two lay-ups.
 The slippery floor made it i'm possible to play fast change of direction or speed game.
 The second game was one sided, the Sea Hawks winning over the Boosters 76-32. Al though replacements and re- assignments were necessary be- cause of thinned ranks, the Sea Hawks teamwork showed inn provement. Bonnie Lewis proved his worth at any position on the floor. Two newcomers to the squad, Jerry Van Gorder and Billy Evins, gave good account of themselves.

A basket social was held Nov. Is by the newly formed Teen Age Club to raise funds for the young people of Kenai. With the help and cooperation of the adult population of the village, $10O was raised, which will be used to purchase record play CT and dance records for use by the club Square dances seem to be most popular with the young folks, and records including the calls for the dances are expected to provide a lot of fun for every body.
 MT. and Mrs. O. C. Connolly are directing the plans for the Teen-Age Club. They try to plan some activity for every night of the week. A lot has been done in arts and crafts, and one night each week is set aside as hobby night.
 This week, the folks are busy with try-outs and casting for a play. No further plans have been announced as yet, but the schedule seems to be pretty full right now.
