be sure that you give that number to operator and that permission of the party owning the telephone has been granted. If call is to be col lected at other end, tell the oper- ator "collect" when the call is placed. Be sure the operator under stands that call is collect. Do not say Reverse the charges" as that phrase means nothing to majority of people and is seldom used when making long distance calls. Before talking on call which has been placed collect, ask the operator if the call has been accepted as col lect. Following is example of call from Seward to Caterpillar Depart m en of Northern Commercial Company, Anchorage:
 When ACS operator, Anchorage, answers, state following informa- tion distinctly and slowly, Paid. Wanted now. Anchorage, Alaska, Main 63. Anyone Northern Con- mercial Company, Caterpillar De- partment. Seward, Ray Smith, Black 126."
 If operator asks you to wait, please do so. Remember that you are only one of many who are plac- ing calls and frequently the party you are calling is out, is busy, does not answer, or the line is busy. If delay appears to be beyond normal the operator will tell you and will call you when party is contacted Do not place a call then leave the premises until a report has been received on the call or until call has been completed. If you are busy, kindly remember that the other party is busy too. It is your call and the service depends great ly upon the person originating such call.
 Each phone owner should re- member that any long distance call made over his phone is charged to him. Protect your own phone.

Seward Masonic Lodge Fetes Grand Master

MT. Henry c. Heal, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ma sorry of Washington and Alaska was to arrive in Seward today by plane, accompanied by Eugene N. Berato, Worshipful Master of An chorage Lodge No. 221.
 They were to be entertained at luncheon by Past Masters of Sew ard Lodge No. 2l9 at the Marathon dining room.
 At 600 o'clock this evening a banquet in the Methodist Church for all Masons and their wives, and members of the Eastern Star will continue the celebration, after which the Lodge will adjourn to the Masonic Hall for a special meeting.
 This is only the third visit to Seward by any Grand Master dur ing the many years since this Lodge was instituted. In about 1915 Seward Lodge No. 219 re- ceived a charter with 15 members. Leon Urbach and L. A. Peel are the only remaining charter mem- bers in Seward at the present time, although Dr. J. H. Romig, who visited here during the summer, was also one of the original group.
 The Lodge held it's first meetings in what is now the Van Glider Hotel, later moving to the IOOF Hall. Finally about 20 years ago, when the McMullen Building was built, the Masonic Lodge moved into it's present quarters in that building.
 The original charter group of 15 members has grown to about l75 members, some of whom have moved away but still retain their membership in Seward.

HOUSING COMMISSIONERS SET POLICY AT JUNEAU MEETING THIS WEEK

leul pedou Mou S! ]! pue meI5oId Congress will approve the SlO mil lion appropriation to the Authority shortly after the House of Repre- sentatives reconvenes.
 Although it had been hoped that more home con struct n would be built this year, this sea- son is now too far advanced to ex- pect any new beginnings" Father O'Connor declared, "but we will be ready with the coming of spring next year."
 Under the provisions of the new law, the Alaska Housing Authority has conducted an experiment of improvement to 30 dwellings at Hooper Bay, where Father OCon- nor is stationed. With comparitive- ly very little expenditures, these 30 dwellings have been given a new roof, new floor, and added in- sulation, which will be great step forward in eliminating the dampness of these homes, which has been one of the primary causes for the death rate from TB among the eskimos. For about the cost of one single modest home for other areas of the Territory, these 30 dwellings have been altered and the entire complexion of the will lage has been improved" the chairman stated. Father O'Connor has worked many years for such program of improvements to these dwellings in remote areas and is extremely enthusiastic over the results. Next year it is planned that the work will be carried to many other isolated and remote villages in the western sections of Alaska.
 All members of the Board of Commissioners are expected to be in attendance including Father Paul c. O'Connor. Chairman, of Hooper Bay; MD. Jake Cropley, Vice. Chairman of Juneau; Mrs. Louise w. Miller of Ketchikan;- MT. Harold Byrd of Flat; and MT. z. J. Loussac of Anchorage.

Seven Offices Open For Election On October 4th

Besides choosing mayor for a two year term in the October 4 election, Seward voters will be called upon to elect six other off, cials on that day.
 Three councilmen will be elected to serve two year terms, replacing the three whose terms will end at that time. One member of the school board will be chosen for a three year term and one member will be elected for only one year. One Utility Board member will have to be elected for five year term.
 No Candidates
 Up till Tuesday afternoon no candidate had expressed the inten- tion of running for any office. It has not been customary in the past for such candidates to file papers more than week or so in advance, and at times they have filed only a day or so before the election.
 One of the reasons given for re- luctance to announce candidacy for office is that, without party back ing. an official does not have a definite group of supporters to fall back on.
 Trade Right Of Way
 Along with the election of candi- dates for office will be a special proposition for voters to decide on. This is trade of city property to Herman Leirer in exchange for a right of way through Leirer's property, thus making it possible to extend First Avenue along the contour of the mountain.
 Extension of the street along the mountain can be made at a reason able cost, but no amount of money could make it possible to extend the street in straight line. Eligibility
 Anyone may vote in the election who is citizen of the U.S., lived in the Territory for one year, and in the City of Seward for thirty days. Candidates have till Sept. 27 to file for office.

He pointed out that Marlate costs
