OVER THE
BACK FENCE
By MARGUERITE FINEFROCK

Hiya Neighbor-Believe it or
not, for once we're speechless!
There doesn't seem to be anything
to talk about but the weather and
that subject has been covered so
thoroughly this week we doubt
if anything could be added to
what's already been said. So
we've decided to keep still and
sweat it out with the rest Of the
population in the belief that mis-
cry loves company.
-I--I-
OF Course we could tell you that
the new grade school building
will be ready for occupancy in
September but gosh, all you'd
have to do would be to drive by
and you'd find out that the work
men are still in the process of
digging and surveying. And while
they've made an amazing amount
of progress since the ground was
broken, you'd know darned we'll
the building could never be finish
ed in q months time.

Or We Could tell you that Ma
gruder hospital set record mas
much as no babies were born this
week, but then you'd read the
hospital news and find out that
eleven newcomers joined the safe
ty pin set since last Thursday
and you'd figure either we, or the
stork, must be crazy with the
heat.

the announcement that we had

then you'd see US going to work

you'd begin to wonder if we hadn't

talk. And you'd be so right!

RED CROSS BENEFIT
CARNIVAL A SUCCESS

The Sew ard Chapter of the
American Red Cross announced
that the benefit carnival spon-
sored by a number of civic organi-
cations last Saturday night was a
success.
The gross amount realized on the
affair was $1024, of which approx
imately $4OO will be needed to pay
for prizes and other expenses. This
will leave a clear profit of about
$500.
Due to illness and inclement
weather it has not been possible
for some of the volunteer workers
to complete all calls in the terri
tories allotted to them, but in the
near future the amount realized
in the drive will be made public

Petition City for
Phone Service

Petition carrying approximately
fifty signatures was presented to
the City Council Monday evening,
requesting that the city install and
operate a telephone system here.
The petition was presented to
the council by Van Nyman, and
it is understood that most of the
signatures were garnered among
workers at the city dock.
The basis of the petition was
that the present service is not eff
ficient and that some telephones
are out of order.
A number of telephones have not
been put back in service since a
230O-volt power line of the city
owned Seward Electric System fell
across telephone cable and
burned out cables, instruments,
and did considerable amount Of
damage to the switchboard in the
telephone exchange.
The petition will be given con-
sideration by the City Council and
the utility board The utility board
will be asked to collect information
concerning the cost and operation
of a municipal phone system.
One of the main objections to
the city's taking over telephone
system is that it would require adj
ditional issue of general obligation
bonds. AT present the city is OBJ
ligated for the electric system and
has just taken on an extra SIPS
coo for the school addition
The City Council, however, asked
the city attorney to make a study
of the local phone franchise as
we'll as the power and water fran
chiSes.
Some members OF the City Coun-
Gil expressed the opinion that a
rate of five dollars per month for
each fire hydrant is excessive.

Halibut Fleet Attracted
By Local Cold Storage

The halibut fleet is taking a very
active interest in the city-oWned
cold storage plant Walter c. Pet
erSon, manager of the Halibut Pro-
ducerS Cooperative of Petersburg,
has been in Seward looking over
local facilities.
Besides being manager of the
Halibut Cooperative, Peterson is
an official of the Boat Owners AS
ISOLATION and is a member of the
city council of Petersburg.
That city is famous as having
the greatest per capita wealth III
Alaska. 1t is the fishing industry
which has made the city prosper
Gus.
A great deal of the halibut take
is caught in the near vicinity of
Seward, and it would naturally be
of great advantage of the fisher
men if they could dispose of their
catch here rather than take time
out of the short season to run down
to Petersburg or even Seattle to
unload
Peterson expressed surprise that
there We're so few fishing boats op-
Grating out of Seward It is a
known fact that in the past couple
of years there have been a few
boats trying to sell fish in Seward
but some of these have been
turned away for lack of buyers
money here
Apparently the firm to which the
municipal cold storage plant is
leased has found enough financial
backing to buy fish on a large
scale. If this is true, and if
the local plant is mechanically
equipped to handle the fish it is
possible that Seward again may
become a fishermen's port.
Peterson said that a number of
the halibut boats are hoping to sell
fish in Seward this season, if the
local concern can handle the bust
ness. But so far,it is only hope

FLEMISH KNOT OF A.S.C.

Cost OF Living
Getting Lower

It may be a bit hard to see at
first glance, but the cost Of living
seems to be definitely on the
downward trend in Seward.
Of this trend, the most startling
change is to be observed in the
cost of case beer. Dealers are adj
vertising we'll known brand of
beer at $500 per case instead of
$500.
The slight cutback in prices Of
fered from time to time by food
dealers has amounted to a sub
stantial decrease and it appears
that dealers are expecting prices
to drop great deal more.
There has also been a decrease
in the prices of automobiles and it
is said that some retail dealers in
gasoline have reduced the price Of
gas for certain classes of con-
sumers.
