ProwIers Damage Carl Ling Home Christmas Night

Marshall Metcalf is investi- gating the breaking in an dam aging of the home of Carl Ling at 319 Second Avenue on Christ mas night. Estimated damage inside the house is placed at $500 by MT. Ling.
 The family has been living with Mir and Mrs. Charles Gilli- land, parents of Mrs. Ling, since the Ling house was damaged by fire in December last year
 Repairs and remodeling were about complete and the Lings had planned to return to their own house for Christmas, but delayed because of the illness of Mrs. Gilliland. Ling had, however, been working in the basement until zoo o'clock Sun day night He left the furnace burning and the house in order, only to find at 500 o'clock the next morning that the place had been forced. Fuses were re moved from the furnace, allow ing it to turn off, pipes and radi- ators were frozen and burst, and the floor covered with ice. The sink in the bath room was torn from the wall, curtains ripped down, and general dam age, including replacing of radi- ators, amounts to approximately $500, according to Ling.
 Neighbors on either side of the house heara no unusual sound. They probably would have attributed any noise to Ling, himself, knowing him to have been working in the house.
 A complete check of personal belongings has not been made as yet to discover whether any thing of value was taken.
 Progress on the apprehension of the housebreaker has not been made public by the Mar shall's office, but it was learned that some pertinent clues are held by the police.

Sea Hawks, DeHorns Win Wednesday Ti!+s

Playing an aggressive man-to- i man defense all over the court, the Sea Hawks defeated the Boosters 56-9 Wednesday. Much can be said for the Seward High School Sea Hawks, who show the making of champions.
 The DeHorns edged the Nob- by Club in thrilling game. A nip-and-tuck first quarter ended 10-10. The Nobby Club forged ahead by passing opponents out of position to lead at the half time 2418. DeHorns switched to a tight man-to-man defense and whittled the Hobby Club lead
 At the official time-out, with three minutes to go, the scorer board read 42-4O, Hobby Clubs favor. Tutiakoff tied the score and Steinwall sank a free throw to give the DeHorns one point lead. Dunham swished to give Hobby Club a one point lead. An Interception by Stockton and a recovery by the DeHorns led to layup by Howard Smith to give the DeHorns the lead again. Torgramsen slinched the DeHorn victory in remaining seconds by a hard drive to the basket, clos ing the game, DeHorns 47, Nob- by Club A.
 Tonight's City League games will be at the school gym. The Palace DeHorns meet the Boost CTS at 7:30. The Sea Hawks and the Hobby Club go onto the floor about 9 o'clock.
 The preliminary will be a girls game, starting at 7:15.

Bids Asked For New Police Car

Dealers are requested to sub- init bids to the City Council on the purchase of new car for the Police Department.
 Specifications call for bids on a police equipped sedan de- livery type car, which resem- bles a panel truck with rear door, except that it is smaller, being built on a sedan chassis.
 It is felt that this type vehicle will be more efficient for police work than the sedan now used. It can be more plainly marked used by several stateside police and can in emergency be used as an ambulance It is being departments where it gives com plete satisfaction.

Grounds Appeals Judgment

Ed Grounds, fined $500 in Commissioners Court Wednes- day on five charges of violation of the game laws, appealed the judgement.
 Grounds was represented by Edward Arnell, attorney of the firm of Hummer & Arnell of Anchorage. The appeal will be tried in the District Court at Anchorage at a later date
 Four oh ges were made against Grounds: making false statement on application for li- cense for hunting and fishing; hunting big game without being accompanied by a l i c en S q guide: taking, or attempting to take COW moose; taking or at tempting to take a COW moose from within closed area ad- jacent to public highway.
 It was claimed that he lost his Territorial residence upon taking up a resident license ii a state Outside, although he returned to Seward in less than the twelve month period re quired to establish residence here.

LiIIie James Married Tn Washington

Lillie E. James, former owner of the Alaska Shop in Seward, was united in marriage to Will liam Plasterer, retired buyer for the Bon Marche in Seattle, on December 19, at the home of MT. and Mrs. Joe McSherry in H. waco, Wash.
 The ceremony was performed by Dr. Ward MacHenry of the First Presbyterian Church of IlWaco. MT. and Mrs McSherry were the only attendants.
 The brides gown was of blue panne velvet trimmed with crystal buttons and beads, and corsage of matching chrys- anthemums. Mrs. McSherry's dress was pale gray with a lavender corsage.
 The house was decorated with branches of holly and mistletoe in keeping with the Christmas season.
 The former Mrs. James is well known in Seward and the Territory. She is one of the early pioneers of the Territory, where she lived first in Dawson in 1899 as a young girl.
 When Seward was established in 1903, she came to this prom ising community and set up one .f alc first business establish ments, the Alaska Store, which continues today as the Alaska Shop. The first post office was in the store. She was made postmistress, which position she held for eight years. The only photographer in the area at the time, many interesting prints are treasured in homes and magazines, all bearing her initials and date The old film files left in the photography shop are a historical gold mine.
 Early in this year, Mrs. Plas terer sold her various Alaskan properties, including the Alaska Shop, and left the Territory to live o u t s e. Her marriage comes as a surprise to the peo- pie here. It was known only that she was visiting the Me SherryS, former residents of Seward in 1941 and 1942. MT. and Mrs. Plasterer will be at home in Seattle after the first of the year.

S.v.F.D Ready For Biggest Event of The Year

The biggest event of the season is the 18th New Years Ball being given by the Seward Volunteer Bremen at the Civic Center Saturday night. !
 It is the best chance for the ladies to wear those new for mals, or for those who would rather not wear formal dress, those new Christmas dresses, or their favorite outfit, be it short skirts or slacks.
 Big plans are laid for re- treatments, entertainment, an orchestra and everything con- sidered necessary for a lot of fun and good dance.
 The Bremen have invited Kenai Peninsula to see the New Year in with them at the dance.
