This Midwestern lady has won hatful
of blue ribbons. Here's how she does it
A CHAMPION jar lady is Mrs. Leonard W. Scott
IA This Minneapolis, Mimi, housewife two years
ago startled her neighbors and amazed her family
by winning virtually all first and second prizes in
almost every canning classification at the State Fair
In 1914 she had entered three lonesome little jars
and walked off with three firsts. Winning was fun;
the next year she decided to 60 into the competition
in big way and entered something in every class of
canned fruits. vegetables, pickles, elies and jams
The family teased her as families will, pretending
to worry that there wouldn't be jar left for the
home shelf. Then came the surprise. Mother won
the sweepstake; Mother won ribbons and more rib
bons and enough cash in the hand to buy dining
room set, just the sort of set she had dreamed of
owning all the q years since her wedding day.
w Was Just Lucky"
The slender. black-eyed Mrs Scott could scarcely
believe the good news. Donna Ruth, l6, said
Il helped you win, remember all those peaches
l peeled and the peas podded." Dad Scott said,
Il helped too Who planted that garden?" meaning
the garden on Stinson Boulevard where the SCOTS
own two vacant lots. Patrick 20, now junior in
the University of Minnesota, who clerks summers

fame. Pats the boy who picked the finest fruit in
the store for his mothers canning bees.
So quiet-spoken Mrs Scott told everyone it was a
family sweepstake, MAYBE was just lucky" she
would add. Last year, the summer of her mothers
last illness, she had no time or thought for the State
Fair. This fall, who knows? When visited Mrs.
Scott in early August she had nearly 300 jars of
put-ups on the canned" shelves, each jar shining
testimony of her talent.
Mrs. Scott has been canning since she IL;
first it was helping mamma in the home kitchen in

No Polio From Alaska Public Water Supplies

Reassurance that there is no evil dence of the spread of poliomye- litis by public water supplies was given recently by one of the na- tion's leading edipemiologists, Ken meth F. Maxcy, M.D., professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. Writing for the Journal of the American Water Works As sociation, technical and professional society of the nations water works experts, Dr. MaXcy surveyed the results of half century of cpl demiological studies and laboratory experiments by host of investiga- tors. In not a single one of these investigations was there found convincing evidence that pollution of a community water supply was responsible for exposure of con- sumers to infection with the polio virus.
 What Dr. Maxcy found to be def initely established is the fact that
 the principal means of communica- ton of polio, not unlike other com mon courageous diseases, is some form of personal contact, or, as he expressed it intimate personal as-
 sociaton .. realized in communal
 living of any social group, from the primitive to the most advanced at
 any time of year, in any part of
 the world And though it logically follows from this that the disease could be spread indirectly by flies, milk or water contaminated with the discharges from infected per- sons, all attempts to demonstrate he polio virus in suspected drink ling water have so far been unsuc- cesSfuLs~. .--,.,--.--- |, Although he urged continued ! investigation of the effect of stan dard water purification practices on l the removal of ViruSes, Dr. Maxcy did not hesitate to state that the present methods of water treat
 ment, and particularly the dosage of free chlorine customarily used
 in water disinfection, afforded an | adequate safeguard. Present day
 knowledge" he concluded, "does
 not justify anxiety over the safety
 of public water supplies so far as
 the spread of poliomyelitis con- 1 cerned'

Bear Existence In Seward ]!

Residents of the lower end of Seward from Adams Street down and next to the mountain were an- noyed several nights this week by the furious barking of dogs. It seems that a brownie had taken possession of Bear Mountain and for several days people on the streets and dock watched the antics of the big fellow in the berry patch just above timber line.
 He was buzzed several times by plane, but ignored it completely. Finally Gene Coombs went up after the bear. Watchers say the animal was fully aware of the man and went on calmly feeding until Gene got within distant rifle range of him, then took off over the top. He hasn't been seen since, however, so a miss was as good as a hit in this case, even though MT. Brownie went away with the pelt which Gene pictured hanging on his own wall.
 Speaking of Bears
 Pat Began is telling a story on himself this week. We got this sec ond hand, so you will have to talk to Pat to hear the whole tale It seems that MT. Began met Brownie while moose hunting. He walked up close to the animal be- fore seeing it. When he looked up, the bear was standing with his forefeet braced against two trees and was scratching his back on the third tree. Pat, it is said, swears that the bear was ten feet high, but was so engrossed in the back scratching pleasure that he didn't pay much atention to Pat, but the latter immediately lost his burning desire to kill a brown bear and

Find Hunters Sofe On Montague island

Eight hunters reported overdue, i'll Seward were found safe on Montague Island after involving boats and planes in a search since Thursday morning. The Eagle, a local cannery boat, picked them up Friday morning.
 According to information from local authorities, there were two parties of four hunters who were marooned on the island because of a dead battery in the plane they were using.
 Of the eight hunters in the two parties, only four had been identi- fled by Friday afternoon. They are Howard Smith, Gene Combs, Jerry Martin and Dennis Thompson.
 The message that they were dis covered safe on Montague Island was relayed to Gentry Shuster, who was searching the area with his plane Friday morning. The Eagle, 65 foot boat of the Res urrection Bay Company, had left on the search late Thursday night and a Navy PBY from Kodiak was to join the search at 500 in the morning.

Union Dance Brings Bremen $627.60
 For Building Fund

In the final accounting that took place this week the Labor Day dance given by the two Seward Longshoremen's Unions proved to be a financial as well as social success.
 With all expenes paid, the bal ance showed a profit of $627 .6O, which was turned over to the Sew ard Volunteer Fire Department.
 Work on the second story of the fire hall began this week, while finishing work on the first floor progresses. The upper story will be of cinder block and concrete con- struction. When completed the sec ond story will have rooms for the city clerks office as well as a meeting room for the City Council and Fire Department. In the rear on the second floor will be an apartment for the fire chief.
 It was estimated that about $l0,- 900 would be needed to complete the job, with the City advancing S5. .OOO of it. The Fire Department had about s2,5OO and expected to raise more. The S627 from the Unions benefit dance will aid ma terially.
 This dance was the first affair of it's kind sponsored by the unions and they wish to thank all those who cooperated with them. Donations were made by the Alaska Shop and Fountain, the Seward Bakery, Tony's Bar, The Bar. The Palace, Novick's, Seward Bar, Hinie's Liquor Store, Gils Cocktail Lounge, The Legion Club Moose Bar, The Northern, The Brown Bear, Hobby Club, Elks l Club, and Seward Trading Go.

Archbishop Of Regina Speaks
 Here Monday

 These two high dignitaries of the Catholic Church are making a tour of Alaska to include all military installations and large parishes in a plea for family prayer for peace. Head Chaplain
 Archbishop O'Neil is the head of all military chaplains in the Cana dian Forces and was flown to Alas ka in an RCAF plane. Bishop Glee- son has visited in Seward twice in the past year.
