SO THIS IS NEW YORK
BY NORTH

We hear a lot about socialized
medicine, about putting the best
in medical care within react
of every man. A lot of our doc.
tors are afraid if the government
steps in too far, it will eventually
control and thus lower the level
of professional care of patients.
Many people don't realize it, but
the famous Mayo Clinic at Ro.
chester, Minnesota, now takes
thousands of patients from all
parts of the country, and charges
each only what his income can
afford. The rich pay well, the
poor pay little. This is as il
should be.

"That The World
Might Be Saved"

MEN had long thought Of God as
IVA living in far-off heaven, seated
on a throne. high and lifted up. A
just and mighty God, n who can
not be touched with any human
weakness. a holy and infinite Lord
of the universe,-such a God men
knew. But on earth there walks and
suffers a race of men who are
slaves of sin, slaves to evil. How
can such a God help such men? Not
by staying on his throne and hurt
ing down more curses Only by do
ing what men would never have
guessed God would dare to do
come into this world, himself as a
man, translating himself into the
life Of man; putting his shoulder
under the human load, even bear
ing ''our sins in his own body on
the tree" Il Peter 2:24).

The Plan of God

THEN was Jesus simply a victim
of circumstances? Was he no
better than a fly caught in fate's
dark web? Far from it. The Chris
tan church has always believed.
even before these stories of the
crucifixion were ever written, that
the death of Christ was in the plan
of God. In fact, it is at the heart of
Gods plan for mankind.
1t is by the death of Christ
that God reconciles man and
brings men back to himself.
The Christian church believes
and teaches that Christ died for
US, that is, for you and for me.
We believe that this was not
simply Jesus own idea, some
thing God had not thought of till
Jesus suggested 1t.
We believe that this was the in
tention of God from before the
foundation of the world" The God
who Is over all, works through all
things, even very evil things, to
make his love known.

the highest honors in its power. But
instead, all it had for him were
nails and thorns and a cross. Why?
If God, who sees all things, knew
that even his Son would come to
no better end than a death Of
shame. why did God allow Jesus
to be born, much less send him into
the world, the world where the
cross was waiting?

No Other End

No Other End
THERE WAS, of course, 'histori
cal reasons" why Jesus wa.
killed. If we used the words ''mur.
dered" or '1ynched" it would be
nearer the truth. Jesus death,
from n point Of view, was both a
tragedy and a crime, and the Cos
pei stories show this. Jesus died be.
cause PLATE was a spineless man.
Jesus died because the priests
of Jerusalem saw that if this
man won, they would lose, and
they would commit murder
rather than be defeated. Jesus
died because the Pharisees had
closed minds and would not
listen to truth If they did not
think of il first.
He died because Judas was q
traitor, because his friends we're
towards and even the best of them
dared to show their faces only after
he was dead. He died because the
Jewish people had their minds set
on one sort of Messiah, and when
Jesus turned out to be quite another
sort, they would have none of him.
Being altogether the sort of person
he was, in that kind of world, at
that particular time and place, you
could say, as Jesus himself did.
that the Son of Man had to" die.
duke 24:26.) No other end was
possible. There was no help for it
except to turn coward and
hide; and if he had been capable
of that, he would not have been the
Christ we know at all.

Housing Committee
Appointed for City

At Monday nights council meet
ing Mayor Lanier appointed a
housing committee consisting of
one councilman, two local con-
tractors and the vice president Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose of the committee
is to make survey of local
housing and to determine the
amount of new housing necessary
to bring Seward somewhat closer
to meeting its housing needs.
One local contractor explained
the need for housing as developing
from the influx of more stable
population. He pointed out that
while there are not many more
jobs available in town than there
were a few years ago, there is a
new type of worker for the job.
Formerly most of the jobs were
filled by single men who came to
Alaska to work. for a while and
then return to the states Now the
man who holds the same job has
brought his wife and children with
the intention of making a perma-
nent home here.
This means that where housing
was formerly needed only for the
single man, it is now necessary to
find shelter for a family.
Local contractors said that if the
Housing Administration makes
money available at four percent
they believe that work could begin
on twenty to forty houses almost
Immediately.

Railroad Moves Dock
Office To New Building

The Alaska Railroad moved it's
Seward dock office into its new
building last Sunday afternoon.
After many years in the old loca-
ton on the dock, with it's pot
bellied stove and dark interior, the
new office, with central heating,
light interior and roomy, conven-
lent arrangement, comes as a plea
SAINT change to office personnel.
The office, u feet long and IS
feet wide, is situated at the foot
of Fourth Avenue at the entrance
to the dock 1t should be more con-
venient to the townspeople than
the old office on the dock itself.
The former office is being torn
out and verted into badly
needed warehouse space.
Beside the new dock office is the
new jitney shop. This is long
quonsett-type building added on
to the old jitney shop. This will
give plenty of space for servicing
the jitneys and leave a little over
for welding and repair work.

the job have already been allotted.
Rail-relaying is vital part of
the AIRS three-year rehabilitation
plan. Recently, the project was
curtailed when Congress cut &c.
100000 in cash and $10,000,000 in
contract authority from the AIRS
budget request for the 1850 fiscal
year.
The 101 miles of new rail will be
laid in two sections; namely, from
Caswell (Mile 2O1.O to Curry

Insurance Policies
For NV Vets

National Service Life Insurance
policies are now being distributed
by the Veterans Administration to
Pacific Northwest veterans of the
Second World War who have con-
tinued the insurance, the VA re-
ports.
The new GIL. insurance policies
replace temporary certificates the
VA issued servicemen when they
first took out the insurance. No
action on the part of veterans is
necessary to obtain the new DO
licies.
Policies the veterans are now re-
ceiving contain a full statement of
the provisions of N.S.L.I. contracts
as established by law. They are
being issued only on renewed term
insurance or on insurance which
veterans have converted to one of
the permanent types now avail
able. The original temporary GER
tificates will remain in effect un-
til each veteran has renewed or
converted his insurance, the VA
said.
The VA pointed out that the
new CT. insurance policies do not
show the names of beneficiaries
because these may be changed by
the veteran at any time to suit
his current desires or needs. Also,
since information about beneficiar-,
les is contained in the veterans
VA files instead of on the policy
itself, the veteran does not need
to return the policy when request
ing beneficiary changes.
Veterans who have not brought
their Gil. insurance beneficiary
designation or method of settle
ment up-to-date should notify the
VA in writing so their insurance
files may be corrected.

pose of the blood typing is two
fold. She stated that as a matter
Of personal safety it is very i'm

The second purpose is to find a
list Of possible volunteer blood
donors for the Seward Sanatorium.
where it is necessary to perform
chest surgery in great many
cases.
All branches of the military serv-
ice require that personnel be blood
typed and record of the type be
kept on file. In addition to this.
every member of the armed forces
is required to wear at all times a
tag with his blood type stamped
on it. This makes it possible to-
give a TRANSMISSION Immediately in
case of an emergency.
There are four types of blood and
it is absolutely necessary that the
patient receiving TRANSMISSION be
given the type of blood cores
ponding to his own.
In addition, when blood types
are taken, q record will be made
of blood count, coagulation, and
Ri factor, all of which are vitality
important
This information will be on file
at the office of each doctor in Sew
ard. No one knows when he may
be struck with severe illness or
accident. 1t is to every PERSONS
personal advantage to have his
blood type on file in case Of an
emergency.
DR.. R. o. Sellers has donated his
office facilities and the TB Asso-
citation will have qualified persons
there Thursday to type all those
who appear. 1t is a public service.
